AfterTrusted Window Replacement for Palm Beach Gardens Homeowners
Window replacement in Palm Beach Gardens, FL typically costs between $650 and $1,850 per window installed, with most full-home projects landing between $9,000 and $28,000 depending on frame material, glass package, and whether you’re upgrading to impact-rated units. That’s the number most homeowners want first, so there it is. TruePane Windows & Doors has handled window replacement across Palm Beach Gardens for years, and Dale Kessler still runs the company the way his father taught him: measure twice, set the pane true, and stand behind the work in writing. If you’re dealing with fogged glass, a frame that’s gone soft from humidity, or windows that rattle when a storm rolls in off the Atlantic, call us at (772) 794-8169. We’ll send a background-checked technician who treats your home like his own mother’s.
You won’t get a voicemail tree when you call. A live person answers, 24/7, because a window that’s leaking during a July thunderstorm doesn’t wait for business hours. We’ve been doing this long enough to know Palm Beach Gardens homes face specific problems: salt air eating at aluminum frames near PGA National, wood rot in the older sections of Mirasol, seal failure from the daily heat-and-humidity cycle. Those aren’t generic window problems. They’re Palm Beach Gardens window problems. And we fix them with the Keystone Standard on every single job: both manufacturer warranty layers registered in writing before our truck leaves your driveway.
What Our Window Replacement Service Includes
Window replacement isn’t one thing. It’s five distinct jobs, and knowing which one you need saves you money and headaches. Here’s how we break it down.
Full Frame Replacement
Full Frame Replacement means removing the entire existing window, frame and all, down to the rough opening. You need this when the frame itself has rotted, warped, or pulled away from the house, and that’s common in Palm Beach Gardens where humidity and salt air work on wood and aluminum for decades. TruePane tears out the old unit, inspects the rough opening for hidden water damage, flashes it properly, and sets a new window that’s square in all four corners. If the pane is not true, the job is not done, so we shim, level, and anchor the frame before we ever set glass. This is the right call when you’re changing window sizes or addressing a frame that’s beyond saving, and we quote it honestly on paper so you can compare manufacturer lines side by side.
Insert Window Replacement
Insert Window Replacement fits a new window unit inside the existing frame, and it’s a smart choice when your frames are still structurally sound but the glass and operating parts are shot. In Palm Beach Gardens, older concrete-block homes along Burns Road and near the Gardens Mall often have solid frames that don’t need full tear-out, and inserts save you labor without cutting corners. TruePane measures every opening twice, orders the insert to the exact dimensions, and seals the gap between old and new with backer rod and sealant rated for Florida’s heat. The result is a window that opens smoothly, seals tightly, and doesn’t cost you a full demolition. We’ll tell you plainly if your frame is a candidate for inserts, because there’s no money in selling you work you don’t need.
Storm Window Replacement
Storm windows in Palm Beach Gardens aren’t optional, they’re the difference between a calm living room and a shattered one when hurricane season peaks. We replace storm windows with units rated for the wind loads this area actually sees, and we anchor them to the structure, not just to trim. TruePane is an authorized installer for PGT and CGI, two Florida brands that build impact-rated storm windows designed specifically for South Florida code. If your current storm windows are single-pane, pitted from windblown sand, or mounted with hardware that’s rusted through, replacement is overdue. We pull the old unit, check the mounting surface, and set the new one so it’s true and tight against the weather.
Energy-Efficient Upgrade
An Energy-Efficient Upgrade replaces old single-pane or failed double-pane glass with low-E coated, argon-filled units that cut heat gain and lower cooling bills through Palm Beach Gardens summers. Florida Power & Light data shows windows are a major source of heat intrusion in South Florida homes, and the fix is specific: low-E coatings rated for our climate zone, not the generic stuff sold up north. TruePane quotes you line-by-line on glass packages from manufacturers we’re authorized to install, including Jeld-Wen and Simonton, so you see exactly what each upgrade costs and what it saves. We register both the glass warranty and the frame warranty in writing before we leave, because an unregistered warranty is no warranty at all. The Done Right Promise covers the install: if it’s not right, we make it right.
Historic Window Restoration
Some Palm Beach Gardens homes have windows worth keeping, and Historic Window Restoration beats replacement when the original wood is sound and the character matters. TruePane repairs sashes, replaces broken muntins, re-glazes old panes, and rebuilds frames that have settled out of square over forty or fifty years. We’ve restored original jalousie and awning windows in older neighborhoods near Northlake Boulevard, and we treat that work with more care than a standard pull-and-replace job. Where the frame is truly gone, we match the original profile with a new unit rather than slapping in whatever fits. This is the slow, careful side of window work, and it’s why homeowners who plan to stay in their houses for another twenty years call us first.

Brands We Service for Window Replacement
We’re an authorized installer for PGT, which means we don’t just hang their windows, we know how they’re built and how they fail. PGT dominates the Florida impact market, and we’ve set enough PGT WinGuard units in Palm Beach Gardens to know the anchoring schedules and sealant specs by heart. Jeld-Wen builds a different window: often wood-clad, often in older homes that need a replacement that matches what was there in 1985. We stock replacement parts for both lines, and we register their warranties properly, which is the step most contractors skip and the one that matters most when a seal fails three years in.
We also quote Simonton windows regularly, because they’re a solid mid-tier vinyl line that makes sense for insert replacements and energy-efficient upgrades where impact rating isn’t the priority. Whatever you have, we’ll tell you honestly if it’s worth repairing or if replacement is the better money. Whether you bought your windows from a builder, a big-box store, or a contractor who’s no longer in business, we can service them, quote a replacement, and set it right.
Signs You Need Window Replacement Right Now
- Condensation between the panes. If you can’t wipe the fog away, the seal has failed and the insulating gas is gone. In Palm Beach Gardens, where humidity runs high from May through October, a failed seal means your window is doing almost nothing between you and the heat. The fix is replacement glass or a full unit, and it won’t get better on its own.
- Windows that won’t open or stay open. A window that’s painted shut, swollen, or dropped on its hinges is a safety hazard, not just an annoyance. If you can’t open a window in an emergency, that window isn’t doing its job. We’ve seen plenty of older Palm Beach Gardens homes where every window in the back of the house is frozen shut from years of heat and moisture cycling.
- Drafts you can feel with the window closed. Hold a hand near the frame on a windy day. If air moves, your weatherstripping is shot or the frame has pulled away from the wall. That draft is costing you money every month, and it’s also letting moisture into the wall cavity, which leads to rot you can’t see until it’s bad. We find the source and fix it at the frame, not with a roll of tape.
- Soft wood or visible rot on the frame or sill. Salt air and high humidity eat wood faster in South Florida than almost anywhere else. Press a screwdriver into the sill; if it sinks, the frame is failing. Rot spreads from the sill up into the jambs, and once it reaches the rough opening, you’re into full frame replacement. Catching it early saves thousands.
- Windows that rattle or leak during storms. Palm Beach Gardens sits in a high-wind zone, and windows that rattle in a summer squall are telling you the mounting is loose. Loose windows let water behind the flange, and water behind the flange means mold in the wall. If your windows shake when a thunderstorm comes through, get them inspected before hurricane season, not during it.
Our Window Replacement Process - Step by Step
- 1
Measure and evaluate. Every TruePane window replacement starts with a technician measuring every opening twice, checking for square, and looking at what’s behind the frame. We use a laser level and digital angle finder, and we check the rough opening for water damage before we quote a dime. This is where we find the problems other contractors discover halfway through the job, which is why our quotes are accurate and our change orders are rare.
- 2
Side-by-side quote on paper. We bring manufacturer spec sheets and quote you line-by-line, so you see what the window costs, what the install costs, and what you’re getting from each brand. We’re authorized installers for a dozen-plus manufacturers, including, and we’ll show you the difference between a vinyl insert and a full-frame impact unit in plain English. No pressure, no “sign today” nonsense, just numbers on paper you can keep.
- 3
Removal and prep. The day we install, we protect your floors, lay drop cloths, and remove the old window carefully enough that your drywall and trim survive the process. We inspect the rough opening and repair any rot or water damage we find, because setting a good window into a bad opening is a waste of your money. If we find something unexpected, we show you photos and explain it before we touch it.
- 4
Set, flash, and seal. The new window goes in shimmed and leveled, anchored per the manufacturer’s spec and Florida code. We flash the perimeter with materials rated for our climate, tape the sill, and seal the exterior so water has no path behind the flange. Every corner gets checked with a level, and if the pane is not true, we pull it and start again. That’s the rule Dale Kessler’s father taught him, and it’s the rule our techs work by.
- 5
Warranty registration and walkthrough. Before the truck leaves the driveway, we register both warranty layers, the glass and the frame, in writing, with durations stated. You get a copy, we keep a copy, and the manufacturer has it on file. Then we walk the job with you, show you how the window operates, and answer every question you have. If something isn’t right within 90 days, the Done Right Promise means we fix it, no paperwork fights and no arguing.
How Much Does Window Replacement Cost in Palm Beach Gardens?
Here’s what we tell homeowners when they ask: an insert window replacement in Palm Beach Gardens runs $650 to $1,200 per window for a standard vinyl unit. A full frame replacement starts around $900 and can reach $1,850 per window depending on size and frame material. Impact-rated windows, which many Palm Beach Gardens homeowners choose for hurricane protection and insurance savings, run $1,100 to $2,400 per window installed. A whole-home project on a typical three-bedroom house usually lands between $9,000 and $28,000, and the spread comes down to glass package, brand, and whether you’re doing inserts or full tear-outs.
What drives the price: window size, frame material (vinyl is most affordable, aluminum is common in older Florida homes, wood-clad is premium), whether you need impact glass, and the condition of the rough opening. We can’t quote a house over the phone, and we won’t pretend to. What we will do is come out, measure, and give you a written line-item quote at no charge. Our pricing is fixed once the quote is signed, no surprise line items on the bill, no second appointment left hanging.
