Why TruePane Windows & Doors Is Cabana Colony’s Preferred Window Replacement Company
The homes in Cabana Colony were mostly built between 1960 and 1980, and they carry a particular set of problems: jalousie windows that can’t be brought to code, aluminum frames pitted from decades of Intracoastal salt air, and sliding glass doors that bind in the summer humidity. Our crews have worked these blocks long enough to know which houses still have the original lime-green jalousie glass and which ones got a partial retrofit in the 1990s. We’re not a franchise running crews out of a regional office two counties away. Our Window Replacement team is dispatched locally, uniformed, background-checked, and trained to measure every opening twice before a quote goes on paper.
Dale Kessler founded TruePane in 2008 on a rule he keeps on the whiteboard to this day: if the pane is not true, the job is not done. That standard applies to every window we set in Cabana Colony, whether it’s a single insert replacement or a whole-house impact upgrade. We register both manufacturer warranty layers in writing before the truck leaves the driveway, and our 90-Day Done Right Promise covers the workmanship with no paperwork fights. A live person answers every call, 24/7, which matters when you’ve got a failed unit and a storm coming up from the Palm Beach County coast.
We carry licenses, insurance, and bonding for every job we take, and we’ll show you our paperwork before we start cutting. Our installers work in your home the way they’d work in their own mother’s, and we don’t leave a site until the sashes are cleaned, the old units are loaded, and the driveway is swept.
Our Window Replacement Services in Cabana Colony
Full Frame Replacement
When the original frame is rotted, out of square, or built around jalousie hardware from the 1960s, an insert won’t fix the opening. Full frame replacement means pulling the entire old window down to the rough opening, replacing damaged wood or masonry, installing new marine-grade frames with proper flashing, and setting a new impact or energy-rated unit that meets Florida Building Code for this wind zone. In Cabana Colony, we see a lot of full frame jobs where the rough opening itself has drifted out of true over fifty years of settling. We re-shim, re-level, and re-flash every opening before the new unit goes in.

Insert Window Replacement
If the existing frames are still square and the sashes are the only failure point, an insert replacement can save money and time. We set the new unit into the existing frame, seal the perimeter, and leave the interior and exterior trim intact. Most insert jobs in Cabana Colony run one to two days for a typical three-bedroom ranch. The catch: if the old frame is aluminum and has been eating salt air for forty years, an insert won’t stop the corrosion. We’ll tell you straight if your frames can carry a new insert or if you’re better off pulling them out. That honest read is part of why homeowners here call us back.

Storm Window Replacement
Storm windows in Cabana Colony aren’t a seasonal add-on. They’re the first line of defense in a Wind-Borne Debris Region with design speeds of 140 to 150 mph. We replace old, pitted storm units with Florida Building Code-compliant impact or missile-rated glazing, depending on the elevation of the opening and its exposure to the Intracoastal. For east-facing lots, we recommend stainless or coated hardware on every storm frame, because the salt spray will seize standard hardware inside of five years. We stock marine-grade hardware for this exact reason, and we don’t charge a premium for it.

Energy-Efficient Upgrade
Cabana Colony homes built in the 1960s and 1970s lose enormous amounts of air through single-pane glass and unsealed frames. We replace those units with double-pane, low-E glazed windows with U-factors and SHGC ratings sized for Palm Beach County’s cooling-dominated climate. That means you’re not just buying a window that looks better; you’re buying a unit that cuts the solar load on your west-facing rooms and reduces the strain on your air conditioning. We quote manufacturer lines side by side on paper, so you see exactly what each unit costs and what its performance numbers are before you sign anything.

Common Window Replacement Problems We See in Cabana Colony Homes
- Jalousie windows flagged by county inspectors: If you’re pulling a re-roof permit anywhere in Cabana Colony, county inspectors will flag original jalousie windows for non-compliance, because they can’t be brought up to impact code. That turns a roof job into a window job, and we’ve seen the change order arrive mid-project more times than we can count. The fix is full frame replacement with impact-rated units, and we can scope it before your roofers start.
- Salt-air corrosion on aluminum frames and hardware: Frames and hardware within a mile of the Intracoastal degrade noticeably faster than the same material just a few miles inland. We see pitted tracks, seized crank mechanisms, and corroded fasteners on east-facing lots all the time. Standard aluminum frames will fail within a decade; marine-grade aluminum or vinyl with stainless hardware is the specification that survives.
- Seal failure from coastal humidity: Double-pane units that were installed without proper perimeter sealing develop fogging and condensation between the glass panes within five to ten years in coastal humidity. Cabana Colony’s damp, salt-heavy air accelerates moisture intrusion around the edges. We test for seal failure by checking for stains between the panes, and replace failed units rather than bandaging them.
- Sliding glass doors that bind in July: The same salt air that pits aluminum frames also swells and seizes door rollers. We replace old single-pane sliding doors with impact-rated multi-panel units on stainless tracks, and we set the threshold with enough drainage to handle Palm Beach County’s wet season. A door that binds in summer is usually not just a roller issue; it’s a frame issue.
Pricing for Window Replacement in Cabana Colony, FL
A typical insert window replacement in Cabana Colony runs $620 to $1,450 per opening, including labor, flashing, and disposal.

A whole-house replacement on a 1960s ranch commonly lands between $12,000 and $28,000, depending on the number of openings and how much jalousie removal is required. The things that move the price here are the condition of the rough opening, whether the inspector has flagged existing units, and whether you’re specifying marine-grade frames versus standard aluminum.

FAQs - Window Replacement in Cabana Colony
Jalousie windows get flagged because they cannot meet the Florida Building Code requirements for Wind-Borne Debris Regions like Cabana Colony. The individual glass slats offer no structural resistance to flying debris at 140 to 150 mph design wind speeds, and there is no practical way to bring a jalousie into compliance without replacing the entire frame. County inspectors have no leeway on this; the flag is automatic. If you’re planning a re-roof, budget for the window replacement before the roofers start, because the change order will come regardless. Call (813) 320-9346 and we’ll scope the full replacement before your permit goes in.
Yes. Homes in Cabana Colony that sit within about a mile of the Intracoastal Waterway need marine-grade frames and stainless or coated hardware, not standard aluminum extrusions. Untreated aluminum pits and corrodes within five to seven years of constant salt spray, and the hardware seizes even sooner. Vinyl or marine-grade aluminum with fusion-welded corners and stainless fasteners is the specification that holds up. We quote the material difference on paper so you can see exactly what you’re paying for and why it matters.
Look for fogging, condensation, or mineral staining between the two glass panes. If the moisture is inside the unit, not on the room side, the seal has failed and the inert gas has leaked out. Cabana Colony’s damp, salt-heavy air accelerates seal failure, especially on units that were installed with perimeter flashing that didn’t account for coastal moisture. We test each opening during the estimate and tell you which units have failed and which can be saved. Call (813) 320-9346 to schedule a free estimate and we’ll check every window in the house.
No. The code requires the entire opening to resist wind-borne debris, not just the glass. A jalousie frame has no structural capacity to hold an impact-rated unit, and retrofitting glazing into the old slat tracks does not satisfy the Florida Building Code. The correct fix is full frame replacement with an impact-rated unit set into a marine-grade frame with proper flashing. It costs more up front, but it actually passes inspection and it survives the next storm.
They need to meet the same base energy code, but the coastal exposure changes the practical recommendation. Homes near the Intracoastal benefit from a slightly lower SHGC to cut the solar gain off the water, and units on east-facing elevations should be specified with stainless hardware and marine-grade frames regardless of the U-factor. We size each opening’s performance numbers based on its exposure, not just the county minimum, because a window that barely passes code still leaves you paying for heat gain and corrosion.
