Fast, Reliable Window Replacement Across Greenacres
If you own a CBS home in Greenacres built between 1960 and 1990, odds are you’re still living with the windows it came with: jalousie louvers, corroded aluminum sliders, single-pane glass that sweats in July and rattles in August. Those windows are now the first thing a property insurer looks at when deciding whether to renew your policy. TruePane Windows & Doors has been replacing them across Greenacres, from the neighborhoods off Jog Road to the streets around Melaleuca Lane, with impact-rated, energy-efficient windows that clear an insurance inspection the first time. Call (813) 320-9346 for a free estimate.
Key takeaways for Greenacres homeowners:
- Jalousie windows are the single biggest liability at inspection or renewal time, and replacing them is now routinely required by Citizens Insurance and private carriers.
- Salt-laden sea breezes from the Atlantic, 15 miles east, pit aluminum frames and kill glazing seals years before their time.
- A full frame replacement on a 1960s CBS home runs $1,100-$1,900 per opening in Greenacres, impact-rated; an insert runs $700-$1,100.
- Every job carries our 90-Day Done Right Promise and both manufacturer warranty layers registered in writing before we leave.
Why TruePane Windows & Doors Is Greenacres’s Preferred Window Replacement Company
We’ve worked on enough Greenacres homes to know what’s behind the stucco before we cut into it. The rough openings on a 1972 concrete block ranch are rarely square. Decades of South Florida soil movement, the same expansion and contraction that cracks driveways along Lake Worth Road, shifts window jambs enough that a drop-in insert will bind if someone measures it wrong. Our crews measure every opening twice, and they shim each frame to true before a single screw goes in. That’s the founding rule Dale Kessler keeps on the whiteboard: if the pane is not true, the job is not done.
Greenacres homeowners tend to have been in their houses twenty years or more. They remember the last contractor who left a fogged seal and a door that binds in July, and they’re not shopping for the cheapest bid. They want the work done right the first time by a company that will still answer the phone if something goes wrong. We’ve been doing this since 2008 as a second-generation glazier’s trade, not a franchise playbook. A live person answers our phone 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Not a voicemail tree, not a callback form.
Our technicians are background-checked and uniformed. They work in your home the way they’d work in their own mother’s house. And when the job is done, we register both warranty layers in writing, with durations stated, before the truck leaves your driveway. That’s The Keystone Standard. It’s not a slogan; it’s the paperwork that backs the work.
Our Window Replacement Services in Greenacres
Full Frame Replacement
For Greenacres homes built in the 1960s and 1970s, a full frame replacement is usually the right call. The original aluminum windows were set directly into concrete block openings, and after 40 or 50 years of humidity and soil movement, those openings are out of square and the frames are corroded at the sill. We remove the entire old frame down to the rough opening, correct the opening, flash it with butyl tape against Greenacres’s afternoon downpours, and set a new impact-rated frame that will pass a wind-mitigation inspection. This is the job that kills the insurance nonrenewal letter for good.

Insert Window Replacement
If your existing frames are still square and the stucco around them is intact, an insert replacement is a faster, cheaper route. It works well in the 1980s-era homes around Pinehurst Road and the subdivisions off Sherwood Forest Boulevard, where frames are newer and less corroded. But it only makes sense when the rough opening is true and the frame is sound. We’ll tell you straight if an insert won’t work in your opening; we’ve walked away from jobs where a competitor had sold an insert that would have bound within a year.

Storm Window Replacement
Storm windows take the brunt of Greenacres’s weather, and they’re the first thing to show it. Salt air pits the aluminum tracks, the operators strip, and the glass seals fail. We replace storm units with impact-rated alternatives where the building envelope requires wind protection, or with matching non-impact units where the primary window is already rated. The goal is a window that opens and closes with one hand, every time, year after year.

Energy-Efficient Upgrade
Swapping jalousies or single-pane sliders for Low-E, argon-filled, impact-rated double-pane windows changes the temperature inside a Greenacres CBS home in July. The concrete block itself holds heat, and the original windows did nothing to stop solar gain. With energy-efficient units, FPL bills drop and the house stops sweating. We quote manufacturer lines side by side on paper so you see exactly what you’re buying, including ratings for UV rejection and solar heat gain.

Trusted Brands We Service in Greenacres
We’re an authorized installer for more than a dozen manufacturer lines, including Andersen, ES Windows, ECO Window Systems. For Greenacres homeowners, that matters in practical terms: we can source parts quickly, we know which lines hold up in the salt air that drifts 15 miles inland, and we can quote two or three comparable products side by side on paper so you decide based on price and performance rather than a sales pitch. Impact-rated options from ES Windows and ECO Window Systems are commonly specified here because their frames and hardware stand up to coastal humidity and UV without pitting or binding.
Common Window Replacement Problems We See in Greenacres Homes
- Fogged, failed seals in single-pane aluminum sliders: Salt-laden sea air accelerates seal failure. Once the argon is gone, the window’s insulation value is gone with it, and the glass fogs between the panes. That window is not repairable; it’s a replacement.
- Jalousie louvers that no longer close tight: The louvered glass panels ubiquitous in 1960s and 1970s CBS homes here provided ventilation and nothing else. The operators strip, the louvers sag, and the window offers no wind resistance, no insulation, and no security. Insurers now flag them as a coverage condition.
- Out-of-square rough openings from soil movement: Greenacres sits on soil that expands and contracts with the seasons, and concrete block homes built in the 1960s and 1970s have shifted. A drop-in replacement that’s not shimmed and corrected will bind eventually.
- Corroded aluminum frames at the sill: Atlantic sea breezes carry salt inland, and aluminum window frames pit and swell at the sill line where water sits. Once the frame is corroded through, an insert replacement is off the table; it’s a full frame job.
We saw a textbook case of the salt-air problem on a 1972 CBS ranch off Jog Road. Our crew pulled out a corroded aluminum slider where the insulated glass unit’s seal had failed: fog between the panes meant the argon was gone, and with it most of the insulation value. The frame was pitted at the sill, and the rough opening was out of square by a half-inch. We replaced it with a fusion-welded impact-rated casement and flashed the opening with butyl tape because the stucco had spalled behind the old jamb. That’s the work Greenacres homes need.
Pricing for Window Replacement in Greenacres, FL
Here’s honest pricing for the Greenacres market. A full frame replacement with an impact-rated window runs $1,100 to $1,900 per opening, depending on size and manufacturer. An insert replacement typically runs $700 to $1,100 per opening. Replacing a single jalousie window with an impact-rated double-hung runs $950 to $1,500 as a full frame job. A whole-home jalousie retrofit, say eight to twelve openings on a 1960s CBS house, lands between $9,000 and $18,000.
What moves the price: impact-rated glass versus non-impact, the manufacturer line you choose, whether the opening is out of square enough to require extra shimming and flashing work, and whether the stucco around the jamb needs repair. We quote fixed pricing, no change orders, and no surprises on the bill. Call (813) 320-9346 for a free estimate with line items in writing.

FAQs - Window Replacement in Greenacres
Because replacing a single jalousie window doesn’t change the wind-mitigation profile of your home. Insurers, including Citizens Insurance, look at the whole house. If the remaining jalousies and single-pane aluminum sliders are still there, the property still fails the inspection. The fix is a full retrofit of all openings to impact-rated or shutter-protected standard, and then submitting the wind-mitigation report. Call (813) 320-9346 and we’ll walk you through what the inspector is looking for, opening by opening.
Greenacres sits in a Florida Building Code wind-speed zone that requires any permitted window replacement to be impact-rated or protected by shutters. A standard non-impact double-hung will not pass a permitted inspection here, and it will not earn you the wind-mitigation discount you need on your policy. Impact-rated is the correct spec for this city, full stop.
It’s usually the salt air. Greenacres is about 15 miles inland from the Atlantic, but the sea breeze carries enough salt-laden humidity to pit aluminum frames and attack glazing seals. Vinyl frames don’t corrode, which is why they hold up longer near the coast. The seal failure in your slider was likely accelerated by that same salt exposure. When we replace it, we’ll spec hardware and finishes that are rated for coastal conditions.
In most cases, yes: replacing all unprotected openings with impact-rated windows and submitting a completed wind-mitigation report is one of the most reliable ways to earn the discount. The exact credit depends on your policy and the credits the carrier applies, but we regularly help Greenacres homeowners through the process, and we’ll register your warranties in writing so the paperwork is in order at inspection time. Call us at (813) 320-9346 for a straight answer on your situation.
It means we remove the old window completely, including the aluminum frame set into the concrete block, down to the rough opening. On a 1969 CBS house, that opening is rarely square. We correct it, flash it, and set a new impact-rated frame so the window operates cleanly and passes inspection. It’s the correct spec for most Greenacres homes with original openings.
If you’re ready to replace the windows that are costing you on insurance, comfort, and security, call us today. A live person answers at (813) 320-9346. We’ll schedule a free estimate, measure every opening twice, and put the numbers in writing before you commit to anything.
