AfterFast, Reliable Impact Windows & Doors Across Palm Beach
Impact window and door replacement in Palm Beach runs $900 to $2,800 per opening for most homes, and the work is rarely a straight swap on this island. The reason is ARCOM, the Architectural Commission, which governs nearly every exterior change on landmarked and contributing properties here. A standard off-the-shelf impact unit will not pass their profile review. We know that before we walk in the door, and we build the approval timeline into your bid instead of discovering it six weeks in. If you’re pricing impact windows or doors in Palm Beach, call (772) 794-8169 for an estimate that accounts for the real job, not a fantasy of it.
Why TruePane Windows & Doors Is Palm Beach’s Preferred Impact Windows & Doors Company
Our Impact Windows & Doors crew has spent years working the barrier island, from the estate corridors off South Ocean Boulevard to the quieter contributing structures nearer the Lake Trail. That matters in a town where a window replacement can stall because a submittal packet skipped one sample finish. We file ARCOM paperwork correctly the first time because we have done it enough to know what the board looks for. No other part of Palm Beach County carries this approval burden, and no homeowner should pay a contractor to learn it on their job.
Dale Kessler founded TruePane on a rule that still hangs in the shop: if the pane is not true, the job is not done. We hold to that on every historic-profile installation and every modern infill project. Our techs arrive background-checked and uniformed, measure every opening twice, and register both manufacturer warranty layers in writing before the truck leaves your driveway. That written warranty registration covers the glass and the frame. It is not a verbal promise.
Reviews from Palm Beach homeowners consistently point to the same things: we show up when we say, we do not fight about callbacks, and our quotes do not move. A live person answers the phone 24 hours a day, seven days a week. When a salt-corroded latch fails in August, you reach a human on the first ring, not a voicemail tree.
Our Impact Windows & Doors Services in Palm Beach
Hurricane Impact Windows
Palm Beach homes carry the double burden of Miami-Dade NOA impact standards and ARCOM historic-profile review. A double-hung impact unit off the shelf will not pass the second test on a Mizner-era facade. We fabricate custom arches, muntin patterns, and period-accurate finishes that hold their shape under missile-impact testing and still read as original to a 1930s elevation. Each opening is measured twice, and the frame is set square before any glass goes in.
Impact Sliding Glass Doors
Oceanfront and Intracoastal elevations both take salt air in Palm Beach, which chews through hardware faster than anywhere inland in the county. We spec marine-grade stainless rollers, fusion-welded frames, and UV-stable seals on every sliding door we install on the island. A sliding glass door that binds in July or fogs between panes by the second winter is not acceptable. We stand behind the work, and the Done Right Promise means any issue gets fixed without paperwork or arguing.
Impact Entry & French Doors
Entry and French doors on Palm Beach estates are often arched, oversized, or framed in wrought iron. Replacing them correctly means matching the arch geometry exactly, which is where high-volume installers fail. We cut custom jambs and headers for non-standard apertures and set impact-rated panels that satisfy both the structural code and the historic profile. If your current door binds in July or leaks at the sill during a summer squall, the opening was likely never squared. We fix that first, then set the door.
Wind Mitigation & Code Compliance
Insurance carriers in Florida discount premiums based on wind mitigation credits, and Palm Beach homeowners leave real money on the table when their impact windows are not properly documented. We provide the signed inspection reports and NOA documentation that insurance underwriters want to see. For ARCOM properties, we also track the Certificate of Appropriateness through approval so the compliance trail is complete from board hearing to final inspection.

Trusted Brands We Service in Palm Beach
We are an authorized installer for more than a dozen manufacturer lines, including PGT. That authorization means we can put full manufacturer warranty coverage behind the work, not a gray-market promise. For Palm Beach customers, we keep local stock of the hardware, weatherstripping, and custom muntin profiles most often called for on historic and contributing structures. When a fogged lite needs replacement or a latch fails, you are not waiting on a freight shipment from out of state.
Common Impact Windows & Doors Problems We See in Palm Beach Homes
- ARCOM denial on the first submittal. A homeowner or an out-of-town contractor proposes a standard square replacement for an arched casement. The board rejects it, and the job slips six to eight weeks before a permit is even pulled. We build the approval calendar into the bid from day one.
- Fogged glass from salt-air seal failure. The barrier island sits between the Atlantic and the Intracoastal, so both elevations of a Palm Beach house face salt air. Standard weatherstripping degrades in months, argon leaks out of the insulated unit, and the glass fogs. Marine-grade seals and stainless hardware are not optional here.
- Undersized framing in pre-war openings. Homes built in the 1920s through the 1950s often have original jambs and headers that were never meant to carry impact-rated glazing weight. Those members rot, warp, or sag, and the symptom is a sash that binds or a sill that leaks.
- Failed flashing from decades of exposure. The original flashing tape on a 1930s loggia or a 1950s concrete block opening is often brittle and cracked. Water works in behind the jamb, and the first sign is peeling paint or a soft spot under the sill. We pull the old jamb and reflash the opening before setting the new unit.
Pricing for Impact Windows & Doors in Palm Beach, FL
Impact window replacement in Palm Beach runs $1,100 to $2,800 per opening for most homes. Impact sliding glass doors land between $4,500 and $12,000 depending on width and track configuration. Impact entry and French doors start around $3,000 and can reach $15,000 for oversized arched units with period hardware. The Palm Beach premium comes from two things: custom fabrication to match historic profiles, and the ARCOM approval timeline, which adds professional hours but no surprise line items. A generic inland quote that ignores the Certificate of Appropriateness will undercut reality and come back with a change order. Our quotes are written, fixed, and include the approval work.

FAQs - Impact Windows & Doors in Palm Beach
The Certificate of Appropriateness typically adds six to eight weeks to a window replacement on any landmarked or contributing property in Palm Beach because the Architectural Commission meets on a set schedule and requires elevation drawings, product data sheets, and sample finishes in the submittal packet. Contractors unfamiliar with the island routinely under-bid the timeline because they do not include this lead time. We build it into every estate-side bid so you know the real schedule before you sign. Call (772) 794-8169 and we will walk you through the approval calendar for your specific property.
No, a standard square impact window will not pass ARCOM profile review on a landmarked or contributing Mediterranean Revival structure in Palm Beach, because the board requires custom muntin patterns, arched geometries, and period-accurate finishes that off-the-shelf units simply do not have. The window has to satisfy Miami-Dade NOA impact standards and the historic profile simultaneously. We fabricate impact-rated units that do both, and we handle the submittal so you are not rejected on a technicality. Call (772) 794-8169 for a quote on units that will actually pass.
Palm Beach sits on a narrow barrier island between the Atlantic Ocean and the Intracoastal Waterway, so every elevation of every home is exposed to marine salt air at once, which corrodes hardware, degrades weatherstripping, and causes sealed units to fail and fog far faster than inland Palm Beach County properties. Once argon leaks out of an insulated unit, the U-factor climbs and condensation forms between the panes. The fix is marine-grade materials from the start: stainless fasteners, fusion-welded frames, and UV-stable glazing seals, which is what we spec on every island job. Call (772) 794-8169 for an evaluation of your fogged or failing units.
Opening walls for impact window replacement in Palm Beach routinely triggers code upgrades: undersized 1920s-era headers must be sistered or replaced with engineered LVL stock to carry impact-rated glazing weight, failed flashing must be pulled and reflashed, and any rot or termite damage to the jamb must be remediated before the new unit is set. These are not padded line items; they are what the inspector will flag if they are skipped. We inspect the opening before we quote so the allowance is in the contract from day one, never discovered mid-job. Call (772) 794-8169 and we will inspect your openings before you commit.
Yes, impact windows on a historic Palm Beach estate can cut cooling costs substantially because tight, low-E glazing units stop the solar gain that old single-pane casements and jalousies let straight into the house, and the same barrier island exposure that eats hardware also drives air-conditioning load year-round. The savings are real, but the bigger win is stopping the slow water and salt damage to original wood jambs and interior plaster. We quote manufacturer lines side by side on paper, with U-factor and SHGC printed, so you see exactly what you are buying before you sign. Call (772) 794-8169 for a free estimate.
If you own a home in Palm Beach, you already know the island treats ordinary building materials roughly. We would rather show up, measure twice, and give you a written quote that accounts for ARCOM, salt air, and pre-war framing than sell you a window that will fail its first review.
