AfterFast, Reliable Window Replacement Across Tequesta
Replacing windows in Tequesta is different from replacing windows ten miles inland. Salt air off the Loxahatchee River, original aluminum frames from the 1960s through 1980s, and Florida Building Code impact requirements all shape the job. Most full-frame replacements in Tequesta run $850-$1,450 per opening, and insert replacements typically land between $600-$1,050. TruePane Windows & Doors has worked Tequesta’s canal streets and village neighborhoods long enough to know what’s behind those walls before we open them up. Call (772) 794-8169 and we’ll come measure, quote, and walk you through what your house actually needs.
Why TruePane Windows & Doors Is Tequesta’s Preferred Window Replacement Company
Dale Kessler founded TruePane in 2008 on a simple rule that still hangs in our shop: if the pane is not true, the job is not done. That standard matters double in Tequesta, where salt air punishes sloppy flashing and rushed caulk lines within a season or two. Our technicians are background-checked and uniformed, and they measure every opening twice before a quote is written. We don’t send a salesperson to pressure you. We send a glazier to look at your house.
Tequesta homeowners tend to ask the same question after a bad experience with another contractor: will you still answer the phone in five years? We’ve been in South Florida communities since 2008, and a live person answers our phone 24 hours a day. That’s not a callback form. It’s a human being, every time. When you’re looking at Window Replacement in Tequesta, that matters as much as the glass itself.
Our Window Replacement Services in Tequesta
Full Frame Replacement
On a 1970s CBS home in Tequesta, the original aluminum frame is usually the weak point, not just the glass. Salt pitting eats the metal at the sill, and the frame debonds from the concrete block. Full frame replacement removes everything down to the rough opening, lets us inspect and re-flash the buck, and gives you a clean start with a new frame, new flashing, and impact-rated glazing. This runs $850-$1,450 per opening in Tequesta depending on size and the condition of the substrate underneath.
Insert Window Replacement
If your existing frame is still square and structurally sound, an insert replacement fits a new sash and glass package inside it. It’s faster and costs less, usually $600-$1,050 per opening, and it’s a good fit for Tequesta homes where only the glass has failed but the frame hasn’t corroded through. We’ll tell you honestly whether an insert will hold up on a canal lot or whether you’re throwing money at a frame that’s already failing.
Storm Window Replacement
Some Tequesta homeowners still have old storm window setups from before impact glazing became mandatory. We don’t recommend pricing a storm window job without checking what Florida Building Code requires for your specific exposure. If a storm window is the right call for your situation, we’ll quote it plainly. If code requires impact-rated units instead, we’ll show you that quote side by side.
Energy-Efficient Upgrade
Single-pane aluminum windows on a Tequesta canal home leak conditioned air year-round. Low-E impact glass with argon fill cuts that loss substantially, and many homeowners see the difference on their FPL bill the first summer. We quote manufacturer lines side by side, on paper, so you see exactly what you’re paying for and what the warranty covers. The Done Right Promise backs the installation regardless of which line you choose.

Trusted Brands We Service in Tequesta
We’re an authorized installer for PGT, among more than a dozen manufacturer lines. Tequesta’s coastal exposure means the brand matters, and we stock common parts and hardware for these lines locally so turnarounds stay short. When a Simonton sash on a canal-front home needs a new balance, we don’t wait on a warehouse three states away. We quote manufacturer lines side by side on paper before you commit, and we register both warranty layers in writing before the truck leaves your driveway. That’s the Keystone Standard, and it’s how every TruePane job closes out.
Common Window Replacement Problems We See in Tequesta Homes
- Salt-air pitting and track corrosion on original aluminum frames. Tequesta’s tidal air from the Loxahatchee River inlet carries salt that works into aluminum sills and tracks, pitting the metal and seizing rollers. On canal streets, we see this by year fifteen on a frame that would last thirty inland.
- Debonded frames fused at the sill. Decades of salt spray wicking into the CBS block below the door causes the frame to debond from the substrate, and the panel eventually fuses in place. Home inspectors flag this, and coastal insurers often refuse to renew until the unit is replaced.
- Fogged glass from failed seals. Single-pane and early double-pane units lose their argon fill over time, and once the seal goes, you get fog between panes and a cooling bill that climbs. On Tequesta’s older stock of 1960s-1980s homes, this is the most common reason homeowners call us first.
- Non-impact glass triggering insurance problems. Tequesta sits in Palm Beach County’s wind-borne debris region, and Florida Building Code requires impact-rated or protected glazing on any replacement unit. There’s no grandfathering when a window or door gets replaced, and insurers are increasingly strict about it at renewal.
Pricing for Window Replacement in Tequesta, FL
Here’s what we quote in Tequesta, on paper, when we come out. Full frame replacement runs $850-$1,450 per opening. Insert windows run $600-$1,050. A typical 2,000-square-foot CBS home with twelve or fourteen openings usually lands somewhere in the $12,000-$19,000 range for full replacement, though canal-front homes with larger sliding glass door assemblies can go higher. Larger sliding doors, triple-pane glazing, and extensive sill repair under a debonded frame push the number up. Tight lot access can also add to the labor line if staging has to move more than once. Call (772) 794-8169 and we’ll give you a written line-item quote, not a ballpark. Estimates are free.
How Our Crew Works a Tight Tequesta Canal Lot
Tequesta’s canal streets are beautiful and they are narrow. Driveways are short, setbacks are tight, and the neighbor’s dock cart needs its path. That access reality shapes how we quote and how we work. On a canal street just off the Loxahatchee River, our crew pulled out a 1974 aluminum sliding glass door whose sill track had fused the panel in place after forty years of salt spray had debonded the frame from the concrete block. We set up our saw and dump trailer in the driveway, kept the walkway clear for the neighbor’s dock cart, and swapped in a triple-pane impact-rated unit with stainless steel rollers and a fusion-welded frame, then re-flashed the opening with butyl tape and sealed the buck to stop the wicking that started the rot.
That’s the job, and that’s how we do it in Tequesta. We coordinate staging with you before the day starts, we keep debris contained, and we leave the site swept. If your lot means materials have to come through the house or over a seawall, we factor that into the quote up front so there are no surprise line items on the bill. We’ll be there when we say.

FAQs - Window Replacement in Tequesta
Canal-front homes in Tequesta sit in constant contact with tidal salt air off the Loxahatchee River inlet, which corrodes aluminum frames at the sill track within fifteen to twenty years, versus thirty-plus for the same frame five miles inland in Jupiter. The salt works into the concrete block substrate, debonds the frame, and seizes sliding panels. Call (772) 794-8169 and we’ll inspect your frames for pitting before you commit to a fix.
Sometimes glass-only replacement works, but on most 1960s-1980s Tequesta homes the aluminum frame itself has pitted or begun debonding at the sill, and glass-only won’t fix that. We’ll tell you straight whether an insert or a full frame is the honest call for your house. Estimates are free at (772) 794-8169.
We plan staging with you before the crew arrives, keep materials contained in the driveway or on the street where allowed, and leave a clear path for neighbors’ dock carts and foot traffic. If access requires materials through the house, we factor it into the quote on the front end. Call (772) 794-8169 and we’ll walk your lot before we write a number.
Florida Building Code allows protected glazing options, which can include impact-rated windows or shutters, but insurers vary widely on what they’ll accept at renewal, especially on canal-front properties with prior claims history. We recommend you confirm with your carrier before choosing non-impact glazing. We quote impact and non-impact options side by side so you can see the difference, and you can reach us at (772) 794-8169 to schedule that.
Salt air doesn’t directly attack the seal, but it accelerates corrosion on aluminum frames, which flex and warp as the metal degrades, and that mechanical stress breaks the seal and lets the argon fill leak out. Once the seal fails, you get fog between the panes and a cooling bill that climbs. Call (772) 794-8169 and we’ll tell you if your seals are already gone.
If you live in Tequesta and your windows are fogged, fused, or failing a home inspection, call (772) 794-8169. We’ll come measure, quote in writing, and stand behind the job with the Done Right Promise. A live person answers, day or night.
