Pricing & Cost FAQs
Window replacement in Palm Beach Gardens typically runs between $600 and $1,400 per window installed, depending on the frame material, glass package, and whether the opening needs reframing. Impact-rated windows, which many HOAs and newer building codes in our area require, tend to sit at the higher end of that range. A full home with 10 to 15 openings usually lands between $8,000 and $18,000 total. We quote manufacturer lines side by side on paper so you can see exactly where your money goes. Call (772) 794-8169 for a free written estimate on your specific openings.
A new front door in Palm Beach Gardens runs $1,800 to $5,500 installed, with fiberglass doors from brands like Therma-Tru sitting in the $2,500 to $4,200 range and premium wood or custom glass doors reaching $6,000 or more. The price depends on the slab, the frame condition, the hardware, and whether you're adding sidelights or a transom. We price the door, the install, and the finishing work as one number, so there are no surprises on the bill. Call (772) 794-8169 to have us measure and quote your entryway.
Impact windows cost more because the glass is laminated with an interlayer and the frames are reinforced to meet Florida's wind-load and missile-impact standards. In Palm Beach Gardens, where we sit in a high-velocity hurricane zone, this rating is not optional for many homes. You're paying for the engineering, the testing, and the certification sticker that satisfies your insurer and your HOA. It's the same reason a roof with a Miami-Dade approval costs more than a bare shingle job. We explain the difference line by line when we quote your project.
Window repair in Palm Beach Gardens averages $150 to $450 per window, covering things like fogged glass replacement, broken sash balances, worn weatherstripping, and lock repair. If the frame is rotted or the window is more than 20 years old, repair often costs more than replacement makes sense. We'll tell you squarely which way to go, even if the repair is the cheaper job for us to do. Estimates are free, so call (772) 794-8169 and we'll take a look.
Yes. We provide free written estimates for every window and door project in Palm Beach Gardens and the surrounding cities, including Jupiter, Tequesta, and Juno Beach. The estimate is line-itemed, states the duration of both warranty layers, and carries a fixed price with no change orders unless the scope of work changes. That's the square deal we've built the business on since 2008. Call (772) 794-8169 to schedule yours.
No. Our written quote is a fixed price, not an estimate we revise upward mid-job. The only exception is if we open a wall and find damage that no one could have seen from the outside, and in that case we stop, show you what we found, and give you a written price for the additional work before we proceed. Otherwise, the number on the quote is the number on the invoice. That's what "no surprises on the bill" means in practice.
Service & Process FAQs
Most window replacement jobs in Palm Beach Gardens take one to two days from tear-out to final caulk, depending on how many openings and whether there's stucco or trim repair involved. A full home with 15 or more windows may stretch to three days. We schedule a start date, show up when we say, and leave the openings weather-tight at the end of every workday. You will not be left with a tarp for a week. Call (772) 794-8169 for a timeline on your specific home.
We measure every opening twice before ordering, because an out-of-true opening binds in July and leaks in August. Then we order the windows, schedule the install, and on the day of the job we remove the old units, set the new ones square and plumb, seal them properly, and haul the old windows away. Before the truck leaves, we register both layers of the warranty with the manufacturer and hand you the paperwork. The whole process runs on the level: if the pane is not true, the job is not done.
We prefer to supply and install because that lets us stand behind the entire job, but we will install a door you've already purchased if it's a quality unit that meets code and fits the opening properly. The workmanship warranty still applies. If your door turns out to be a poor fit or a warranty problem later arises with the door itself, that falls on the manufacturer, not on us, and we'll be straight about how that works before we start.
Yes. Window replacement happens year-round in Palm Beach Gardens, and summer is actually one of our busiest seasons because that's when fogged seals and failing weatherstripping show themselves. We work in sections when needed so your home is never fully open to the heat and rain. The crews are used to the humidity, the afternoon storms, and the sun. You'll feel the difference the night after the install when the afternoon heat stops bleeding through the old glass.
Yes. We work in gated communities and condo buildings throughout Palm Beach Gardens, Jupiter, and North Palm Beach, and we're familiar with HOA approval processes and the impact-rating requirements most associations enforce. We can provide the documentation your board or management company asks for before approving the job, and we'll coordinate installation to minimize disruption to neighbors. If your HOA has a specific approved window or door spec, bring it to the estimate and we'll quote to it.
Brands & Parts FAQs
We carry ES Windows, ECO Window Systems, and Mr-Glass, which gives us a range of price points and impact ratings to match the house and the budget. We don't push one line. We quote the options side by side on paper, explain the differences in frame construction and glass, and let you decide. If the home calls for a standard non-impact replacement, we'll say so. If it calls for a high-end architectural line, we say that too. The point is a window that fits the opening and the climate, not a brand we happen to like.
We install Therma-Tru fiberglass entry doors, which hold up well in the heat, humidity, and salt air of Palm Beach Gardens. Fiberglass doesn't warp or swell the way wood does, and Therma-Tru's factory-finished options keep the door looking good for years without refinishing. For interior doors and sliding glass doors, we spec to the project. Ask us about the door options that fit your opening and your HOA during the free estimate.
Usually, yes. If you're replacing one or two failed units, we'll match the style, grid pattern, and frame color as closely as the current market allows. If the original product is long discontinued, we'll show you the closest available option and explain the difference before you commit. On homes where matching matters, we pay close attention to frame profile and glass tint, which are the two things neighbors notice first.
Yes. We source and install replacement balances, sashes, rollers, locks, hinges, weatherstripping, and glass for most window and door brands. For older Palm Beach Gardens homes built in the 1980s and 1990s, parts are often still available through our supply chain even when the original manufacturer has long stopped making the window. If the part can't be found, we'll tell you plainly and quote a replacement instead of patching something that'll fail again.
Licensing & Insurance FAQs
Every pro working under the TruePane name is required to hold the license and insurance the state of Florida requires for the work they perform. We carry the coverage that protects your home and our crew while we're working on it. If you'd like to see proof before we start, just ask, and we'll have the office send it over. The standards come from the TruePane brand, but the licensing on the ground is done the right way for Florida and for Palm Beach Gardens.
Most window and door replacements in Palm Beach Gardens do require a permit, particularly when the openings are being resized or when impact-rated units are required by code. We handle the permit paperwork as part of the job and schedule the inspections. Our team knows the Palm Beach County building department requirements and what the inspector will be looking for. The permit is a protection for you, and we treat it as part of doing the job right, not as an optional add-on.
The Keystone Standard is the TruePane promise applied to windows and doors: both warranty layers in writing, durations stated, 90 days on our workmanship, and no arguing if something isn't right. It exists because windows were the part of every job that got argued about later in the old general contracting days. Dale Kessler started TruePane in 2008 to end that argument. The guarantee is stamped on every quote and every invoice, and we honor it without paperwork or pushback.
Emergency & Response FAQs
Yes. We respond to storm damage, break-ins, and failed windows that leave your home exposed in Palm Beach Gardens and the surrounding area. The phone at (772) 794-8169 is answered around the clock, and we'll get a crew out to secure the opening and keep the weather and the bugs out. A broken window in a Florida summer is not something to wait on. Once the opening is secure, we'll quote the permanent repair or replacement and schedule it.
The fastest way to get us moving is to call (772) 794-8169 and tell us what happened. We'll get the details, confirm where you are in Palm Beach Gardens or the neighboring cities, and get a technician headed your way as soon as the schedule allows. For an exposed opening after a storm or a break-in, we treat it as the priority it is. For non-emergency work, we schedule the soonest available appointment that works for you.
First, keep people and pets away from the broken glass, then shut the interior door to that room if possible. You can tape cardboard over the opening from the inside as a temporary measure, but leave the broken glass alone if it's still in the frame. Then call (772) 794-8169. We answer the phone 24/7, and we'll walk you through what to do next and get a proper board-up scheduled. Don't attempt to pull large shards from an impact window yourself; the laminated interlayer can make broken impact glass behave unpredictably.
Warranty & Guarantees FAQs
Every new window and door we install carries two layers of warranty: the manufacturer's warranty on the product, and a 90-day workmanship warranty from TruePane on the install. Both are registered in writing before the truck leaves your driveway, and we give you a copy with the durations stated plainly. The Keystone Standard means if something is not right with our work, we come back and fix it, no paperwork, no arguing. That's the way Dale Kessler has run this company since the beginning.
Manufacturer warranties on windows and doors typically cover glass seal failure, frame defects, and hardware failure for a stated period, which varies by brand and product line. We carry ES Windows, ECO Window Systems, Mr-Glass, and Therma-Tru, and each line has its own terms, and we'll walk you through them before you buy. The important part is that we register the warranty for you and keep the paperwork in order, so if something fails down the road, you're not digging through a drawer trying to find a receipt.
You call (772) 794-8169, tell us what's wrong, and we come out and look at it. If it's covered by our 90-day workmanship warranty, we fix it at no charge. If it's a manufacturer issue, we'll help you file the claim and handle the legwork. Either way, you get a straight answer and a plan of action, not a runaround. We've built our reputation in Palm Beach Gardens on coming back when something's not right, and that's a promise we don't take lightly.
Many of the manufacturer warranties we work with are transferable once, meaning the new homeowner gets the remaining coverage for a small transfer fee that's usually paid to the manufacturer directly. Our 90-day workmanship warranty applies to the original installation and the original customer. If you're selling a Palm Beach Gardens home with recent window work, let us know and we'll help you pull the warranty paperwork together for the closing table.
