AfterFast, Reliable Window Installation Across Palm Beach
Window installation in Palm Beach is not a standard job. The salt air eats hardware faster here than anywhere else in the county, and the Architectural Commission watches every exterior change on landmarked properties. TruePane has built its Palm Beach reputation on knowing both problems before the first fastener comes out of the truck. A typical Palm Beach window replacement runs $1,200-$4,800 per opening depending on custom fabrication, impact rating, and finish requirements.

Why TruePane Windows & Doors Is Palm Beach’s Preferred Window Installation Company
Dale Kessler founded TruePane in 2008 because he kept walking onto job sites where the window was square, the glass was clear, and the install was still wrong. Out-of-true frames, voided manufacturer warranties, flashing that failed in the first wet season. That is the kind of failure Palm Beach homeowners cannot afford, given what the salt air and ARCOM will do to a lazy install. We are not the cheapest bid in Palm Beach. We are the bid that accounts for marine-grade hardware, stainless fasteners, and the six to eight weeks an ARCOM submittal can take before the permit gets pulled.
Our crews know Palm Beach. We know the difference between an estate on South Ocean Boulevard and a condo on the Intracoastal side, and we know that both need a different hardware spec. We stock marine-grade aluminum alloys and stainless fasteners for Palm Beach jobs specifically. We register both manufacturer warranty layers in writing before the truck leaves your driveway, and the Done Right Promise means if the pane is not true, we come back and make it right. No paperwork fights. No arguing. Call (772) 794-8169 and talk to someone who has actually worked on Worth Avenue.
Our Window Installation Services in Palm Beach
Palm Beach’s housing stock does not accept off-the-shelf windows. The island was built in the 1920s through 1950s with arched openings, non-standard apertures, and Mediterranean Revival proportions that off-the-shelf impact units cannot match. Our Window Installation team handles the full scope of that problem. Here is what we install most often on the island:
Casement Windows
Casement windows are the workhorse of Palm Beach estates, and for good reason. They seal tight against wind-driven rain, which matters when you are a few hundred yards from the Atlantic. The problem in Palm Beach is hardware. Standard galvanized crank mechanisms rust through in five to seven years of direct salt exposure on the Atlantic and Intracoastal elevations. We specify stainless operator hardware and marine-grade aluminum frames on every casement install. A custom casement for a Palm Beach home with impact glass runs $1,400-$3,600 per opening. If ARCOM review is required, our team handles the elevation drawings and product data sheets as part of the bid.
Single & Double Hung Windows
Double-hung windows are common in the 1920s and 1930s homes along Seaview Avenue and Australian Avenue. Original sashes sag, jam, and fog because the counterbalance hardware has corroded and the seals have degraded under relentless UV. We rebuild or replace these with impact-rated units carrying period-accurate muntin profiles when ARCOM requires them. A double-hung replacement in Palm Beach typically runs $1,100-$3,200 per opening. If you only need new sashes in existing frames, that number drops, but we will tell you honestly whether the frame is worth saving before we quote either way.
Awning Windows
Awning windows work well for Palm Beach bathrooms, kitchens, and service areas where ventilation matters and water intrusion is a concern. The top-hinged design sheds rain while open, which matters during the summer afternoon storms. Coastal-spec awning units with stainless hardware and marine-grade frames run $900-$2,400 per opening in Palm Beach. We often install these in water-facing elevations where casements would catch too much wind.
Fixed & Picture Windows
Fixed and picture windows are where Palm Beach really shows its hand. Large fixed panes on Atlantic-facing rooms need heavy-gauge impact glass, UV-stable glazing seals, and frames built to take the wind load. Non-impact fixed glass is not an option under Miami-Dade NOA requirements. A large fixed impact window for an oceanfront Palm Beach living room runs $2,500-$7,000 installed, depending on glass package and frame material. We quote manufacturer lines side by side on paper so you see exactly what you are buying, before you buy it.

Trusted Brands We Service in Palm Beach
TruePane is an authorized installer for PGT, CGI, and ES Windows, among more than a dozen manufacturer lines. These three matter in Palm Beach because they build units that have passed Miami-Dade NOA testing and can be fabricated with custom muntin profiles and period finishes ARCOM will approve. A standard PGT impact double-hung and a custom CGI arched casement are not the same window, and both belong in the same bid sheet so you can compare line by line. We register both manufacturer warranty layers in writing, with durations stated, before the truck leaves the driveway. That is The Keystone Standard, and it applies to every Palm Beach job.
Common Window Installation Problems We See in Palm Beach Homes
We have been on enough Palm Beach job sites to know what fails first. Here is what we see most often:
- Galvanized hardware rusted to dust. On both Atlantic and Intracoastal elevations, standard galvanized fasteners and operator hardware rust through within five to seven years. Sashes sag, cranks snap, and the window will not lock. We replace with stainless and marine-grade hardware only.
- Inland-spec glass fogging in three years. Insulated glass units with non-marine-grade seals lose argon and develop interior fogging rapidly on the island. UV-stable glazing seals are not an upgrade here; they are the minimum that works.
- Off-the-shelf units rejected by ARCOM. If your home sits on a landmarked or contributing property, standard impact units with squared frames and stock muntin patterns will not get approved. The board meets on a set schedule, and a rejection adds weeks. We know what they approve because we have sat through the hearings.
- Flashing that was never marine-grade to begin with. We have pulled old windows on Worth Avenue to find flashing tape that hardened and cracked within a few seasons of salt exposure. Every new jamb gets marine-grade flashing tape. It costs more and it is not optional.
Pricing for Window Installation in Palm Beach, FL
Here are honest Palm Beach numbers, per opening, installed. These reflect current 2026 coastal-spec pricing for impact-rated units with stainless hardware and marine-grade flashing.
- Casement window, coastal spec: $1,400-$3,600
- Double-hung window, coastal spec: $1,100-$3,200
- Fixed or picture window, impact glass: $2,500-$7,000
- Awning window, coastal spec: $900-$2,400
The price gap between coastal-spec and inland-spec is usually 20 to 35 percent per opening. That is real money. But the inland-spec quote does not tell you that the hardware will rust out before the first decade is over and the glass will fog before year five. We quote both specs side by side when asked, and we will tell you which one we would put in our own mother’s house. On an island, the answer is always the coastal spec.

How Palm Beach’s Climate Decides Your Window Materials
Palm Beach sits on a narrow barrier island. The Atlantic is on one side, the Intracoastal Waterway on the other, and every elevation of your home catches salt air at the same time. That is not true of West Palm Beach, Palm Beach Gardens, or Royal Palm Beach, and it changes what belongs in your window openings. Galvanized hardware fails here in five to seven years. Marine-grade aluminum alloys, stainless fasteners, and UV-stable glazing seals are not upgrades on the island. They are the difference between a window that works for thirty years and one that sags, jams, and fogs before the warranty would have lapsed anyway.
We have seen this play out on a Mizner-era Mediterranean Revival estate just off Worth Avenue, where our crew replaced twelve original double-hung sashes with custom ViewLux impact-rated units carrying period-accurate muntin profiles and a matte bronze finish approved by ARCOM. When we pulled the old frames, the galvanized fasteners had corroded to dust from decades of ocean salt. Every new jamb was bedded in stainless hardware and marine-grade flashing tape, then sealed with UV-stable glazing. That is the specification that survives this island. Cheaper inland-spec jobs fail within five years. The pane is not true until the hardware holding it outlasts the window.
What ARCOM Means for Palm Beach Window Installation
Palm Beach’s Architectural Commission, known locally as ARCOM, requires a Certificate of Appropriateness before any exterior window or door replacement on landmarked or contributing properties. Most of those properties are 1920s to 1940s Addison Mizner-era Mediterranean Revival estates. The board wants elevation drawings, product data sheets, and sample finishes. They want custom muntin patterns, arched geometries, and period-accurate finishes. At the same time, Florida’s Miami-Dade NOA impact requirements still apply to every opening. That dual compliance burden, historic review and hurricane code at once, is essentially nonexistent across the Intracoastal in West Palm Beach. It is specific to Palm Beach. Contractors who do not know it will stall your permit by six to eight weeks and blame the board. TruePane builds that lead time into every estate-side bid. For Window Installation in Palm Beach, that experience is the difference between a project that moves and one that sits.

FAQs - Window Installation in Palm Beach
If your home is landmarked or contributing, and the glass replacement changes the appearance of the window, ARCOM can require a Certificate of Appropriateness. Glass-only replacements that match the existing profile and finish are sometimes administratively approved, but we always check the property status before quoting. The safest path is to let us verify your ARCOM status before you order glass. Call (772) 794-8169 and we will look it up for your address.
Because the housing stock was built with arched and round-top openings in the 1920s through 1950s, and ARCOM will not approve squared-off impact units on landmarked properties. Off-the-shelf impact windows with standard muntin patterns get rejected. Custom arched casements and round-top picture windows are fabricated to match the original aperture, which takes longer and costs more, but it is the only way to pass review and keep the hurricane rating intact.
Stainless fasteners, marine-grade aluminum frames, and marine-grade flashing tape on every jamb. We do not use galvanized hardware anywhere on an island job because it rusts through in five to seven years of salt exposure. UV-stable glazing seals are standard on every unit we install in Palm Beach. The coastal spec costs 20 to 35 percent more than inland spec, and it is the only spec we will warranty on an oceanfront or Intracoastal elevation.
The coastal spec typically runs 20 to 35 percent more per opening because the hardware, frame alloy, flashing, and glazing seals are built for salt air and hurricane wind load. A double-hung that runs $1,600 inland-spec may run $2,200 coastal-spec. The inland-spec version will fog within three to five years on the island. The coastal-spec version will be working in thirty. Call (772) 794-8169 and we will quote both side by side so you can see the difference in writing.
Yes, but the window must still meet ARCOM’s historic-profile requirements and Miami-Dade NOA impact standards. ENERGY STAR is a thermal performance certification. It does not cover muntin patterns, frame finishes, or impact rating. On a landmarked Palm Beach property, you need all three. We spec ENERGY STAR glass packages inside custom frames that ARCOM will approve. The two are not in conflict; they just have to be specified together.
