AfterFast, Reliable Window Replacement Across Palm Beach
Window replacement in Palm Beach is not the same job it is eight miles inland. Salt air off the Atlantic and the Intracoastal eats standard aluminum hardware in a few seasons, ARCOM watches every sight-line on the historic streets, and a tight Estate Section lot leaves no room for error. If you’re pricing the work, call (813) 320-9346. We’ll give you a straight number, a written line-item quote, and a schedule we actually keep. No voicemail trees. A live person picks up every time.
We’ve been doing this long enough to know that a Palm Beach window has to do three jobs at once: hold back hurricane wind, survive salt from two directions, and look like it belongs on the house. Miss any one of those and you’re paying twice. We don’t miss.
Why TruePane Windows & Doors Is Palm Beach’s Preferred Window Replacement Company
TruePane was founded by second-generation glazier Dale Kessler in 2008, built on a rule he keeps on the whiteboard: if the pane is not true, the job is not done. That rule governs every install our crews make in Palm Beach, from a single jalousie swap on a North End ranch to a full fenestration package on a landmarked Mizner estate.
What that means for you: background-checked, uniformed technicians who measure every opening twice, quote manufacturer lines side by side on paper, and register both warranty layers before the truck leaves your driveway. That’s The Keystone Standard, and it’s in writing on every job we do in Palm Beach.
We’ve installed and serviced windows across Palm Beach’s historic districts for years. Our crews know ARCOM’s sight-line requirements the way a line cook knows the dinner rush. We know which blocks off South Ocean Boulevard have the worst salt exposure, which 1920s steel casements are worth restoring and which need full replacement, and how to sequence work on a lot where the neighbor’s hedge is six feet from the wall. A live person answers the phone 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. You call, you reach a human. That’s been true since day one.
Our Window Replacement Services in Palm Beach
Full Frame Replacement
When the original frame is rotted, racked, or corroded past saving, full frame replacement is the only honest fix. In Palm Beach this happens sooner than you’d think. We remove the entire unit down to the rough opening, rebuild the jambs and sill, water-seal the perimeter, and set a new window that drains and seals correctly. On Estate Section homes where ARCOM requires exact profile matching, we fabricate bespoke slim-profile frames in bronze, steel, or mahogany so the new unit reads as original.
Insert Window Replacement
If your frames are square and sound but the glass is failed, inserts make sense. We pull the old sashes, set new factory-built units inside the existing frame, and re-trim for a clean finish. In Palm Beach’s Mediterranean Revival stock, this is often the right call for secondary elevations where the original steel frame is still structurally viable and ARCOM wants minimal visual disruption. It’s faster than full replacement and keeps more of the original fabric in place.
Storm Window Replacement
Palm Beach sits on a barrier island. Every window is a storm window in the eyes of Florida Building Code. We replace and upgrade storm glazing to current impact standards, including laminated impact-rated glass and reinforced hardware. For coastal lots between the ocean and the Intracoastal, we spec marine-grade stainless or bronze hardware as standard, because salt sprays from both directions and standard hardware fails within a few seasons. The price difference is modest. The lifespan difference is a decade or more.
Historic Window Restoration
This is the work that separates a glazier from a franchise crew. On Mizner-era homes, original steel casements and arched sashes are character features. ARCOM won’t let you rip them out for vinyl and it usually shouldn’t be done anyway. We restore what’s restorable: strip corrosion, rebuild or replace mullions, reglaze, install new weatherstripping, and set impact-rated glass inside the original profiles where code allows. When restoration isn’t viable, we fabricate replacements that match the original sight-lines exactly. It costs more and takes longer. It’s the only way the house keeps its face.

Trusted Brands We Service in Palm Beach
TruePane is an authorized installer for more than a dozen manufacturer lines, including PGT, CGI, all of which we quote regularly for Palm Beach homes. PGT and CGI have deep experience with Miami-Dade impact homologation, which matters on a barrier island. We stock common parts and hardware for these lines and others, and we quote side by side on paper so you see exactly what you’re buying and what each line costs. For historic or custom work, we fabricate through established millwork and steel shops that have done Palm Beach historic replacements before. We don’t install a window without registering both manufacturer warranty layers in writing. That’s the standard.
Common Window Replacement Problems We See in Palm Beach Homes
- Salt-spray corrosion of frames and hardware: The Atlantic on one side, the Intracoastal on the other. Standard aluminum locks and hinges pit and seize within two to four seasons. We see sashes that won’t open, locks that snap, and frames with white corrosion bloom along the bottom rail. Marine-grade hardware and regular weatherstripping replacement are not optional here.
- Seal failure in insulated glass: Fog between the panes means the hermetic seal has failed. In Palm Beach, the thermal cycling from hot sun to air-conditioned interiors accelerates this. Once the seal goes, the unit loses insulating performance and eventually fogs permanently. Replacement of the IGU, not the whole window, is often the right fix if the frame is sound.
- ARCOM sight-line rejections: You bought impact windows, installed them, and the Town made you remove them because the muntin profile didn’t match the original. We see this on older Palm Beach properties, especially in landmarked areas. The fix is fabrication that matches the original exactly, or working with ARCOM early so you don’t buy the wrong unit twice.
- Tight side-yard access and neighbor disputes: On narrow Estate Section lots, staging, scaffolding, and debris removal all compete for space. We keep everything inside the property line, use acoustic mats during extraction, and post party-wall notices before loud work. It’s not extra. It’s how you finish a job in Palm Beach without a noise complaint and a stop-work order.
Pricing for Window Replacement in Palm Beach, FL
Palm Beach pricing runs higher than West Palm Beach or Greenacres for the same size window, and the reasons are real: ARCOM review, salt-rated hardware, historic sight-line compliance, and tight site logistics. Here are honest ranges for common scopes.
| Service | Typical Palm Beach Range |
|---|---|
| Insert window replacement (per unit, standard size) | $850 - $1,600 |
| Full frame replacement (per unit, impact-rated) | $2,200 - $5,500 |
| Historic restoration of original steel casement (per unit) | $1,400 - $3,800 |
| Custom bronze or steel impact unit, ARCOM-matched (per unit) | $4,000 - $9,000+ |
| Whole-home impact package on a 2,500 sq ft estate | $65,000 - $140,000+ |
What moves the number: whether ARCOM review applies, how many custom sight-lines must be matched, whether scaffolding or a lift is needed, and how much existing steel can be restored rather than replaced. Custom fabrication of bronze or steel units typically doubles or triples lead time and cost compared to off-the-shelf PGT or CGI impact units. We quote in writing, line by line, before work begins. Call (813) 320-9346 for a free estimate. The number will be specific. Not a guess.

FAQs - Window Replacement in Palm Beach
Yes. The Town of Palm Beach’s Architectural Commission (ARCOM) requires design review approval for virtually any exterior window or door replacement, including changes to frame material, muntin profile, glass tint, or sight-line dimensions. If your home is in a landmarked district or on a designated historic property, the review is mandatory and can take weeks to months. The smart move is to get ARCOM’s sight-line requirements in writing before ordering any units. We help with this on every Palm Beach job. Call (813) 320-9346 to start the conversation, free of charge.
Usually not without modification. Standard off-the-shelf impact units from PGT or Simonton have sight-line profiles and frame dimensions that differ measurably from the original 1920s and 1930s steel frames. ARCOM will reject the application if the replacement doesn’t match the original profiles. That forces custom fabrication in narrow-profile aluminum, steel, or bronze, which adds cost and lead time, sometimes tripling both. We quote both paths side by side so you know exactly what ARCOM-compliant replacement costs before you spend a dollar on product.
Palm Beach is a narrow Atlantic barrier island. Salt spray comes off the open ocean to the east and the Intracoastal Waterway to the west, so every property gets hit from two directions simultaneously. Mainland communities like West Palm Beach sit miles from the ocean and get dramatically less airborne salt. In Palm Beach, standard aluminum hinges, locks, and frame corners corrode within a few seasons, not decades. We spec marine-grade stainless or bronze hardware and thicker anodizing on coastal lots. It’s a modest upcharge and it doubles or triples hardware life. Discount that decision and you’ll be replacing hardware in five years.
Site access drives cost. On narrow Estate Section lots, there’s often no room for scaffolding, no place to stage materials off the street, and no debris chute path that doesn’t cross a neighbor’s driveway. That means permits for right-of-way staging, acoustic mats during extraction, hand-carrying materials, and sometimes a small lift instead of ladder work. It also means coordinating work hours with the Town’s noise ordinance and giving party-wall notice to adjoining properties before loud phases. We build those logistics into the quote upfront so there’s no surprise line item on the bill. A tight lot is not an excuse for a sloppy job. It’s just a job that takes more planning.
Yes. Condensation or fog between the two panes of an insulated glass unit means the hermetic seal around the spacer has failed and moisture has entered the air space. The glass cannot be wiped clean and the unit has lost most of its thermal performance. In Palm Beach’s heat and humidity, seal failure is common on units over 15 years old, especially on ocean-facing elevations. If the frame and sash are still square and operable, we can replace the IGU alone, which is usually 30 to 50 percent cheaper than replacing the whole window. If the frame is also corroded or racked, full replacement makes more sense. We’ll tell you which one applies, and we’ll show you the numbers for each. Call (813) 320-9346 for a free estimate.
