AfterTrusted Impact Windows & Doors for Palm Beach Gardens Homeowners
Impact windows and impact doors in Palm Beach Gardens perform one job that regular glass cannot: they hold the building envelope together when a hurricane or tropical storm drives debris at high speed. A standard window shatters on first impact, and once the envelope is breached, internal pressure rises and the roof becomes a sail. Impact-rated glazing, correctly installed, keeps that breach from happening. TruePane Windows & Doors has installed and serviced impact windows and doors across Palm Beach Gardens for years, and our founder Dale Kessler has built a 42-year glazing reputation on a single rule: if the pane is not true, the job is not done. A live person answers our phone 24 hours a day, 7 days a week at (772) 794-8169, because when a storm is bearing down on Palm Beach Gardens, nobody has time for a voicemail tree.
Key Takeaways
- Impact windows and doors in Palm Beach Gardens are not just stronger glass. They are an engineered assembly of laminated glass, reinforced frames, and fastening systems that must work together to meet Florida Building Code and Palm Beach County wind-borne debris requirements.
- TruePane Windows & Doors is led by Dale Kessler, a second-generation glazier with many years in the trade, and every job carries the Done Right Promise backed by The Keystone Standard: both manufacturer warranty layers registered in writing before the truck leaves your driveway.
- Same-day assessment is available in Palm Beach Gardens. A live person answers at (772) 794-8169, and we give no-hassle upfront pricing with written, line-item quotes.
- We are an authorized installer for more than a dozen manufacturer lines, including PGT, CGI, and we quote these lines side by side on paper so you see exactly what you are paying for.
TruePane Windows & Doors has built its name in this community the same way a glazier sets a frame: plumb, level, square, true. When a Palm Beach Gardens homeowner calls us about impact windows and doors, they are not shopping a price tag. They want the opening sealed correctly the first time, by a company that will still be in town and still answer the phone if the seal fogs or the door binds in July.
What Our Impact Windows & Doors Service Includes
Impact windows and doors in Palm Beach Gardens is a broad category, and not every home needs the same solution. A concrete block ranch on Garden Road has different requirements than a two-story stucco home in PGA National or a townhome near Lake Catherine. Our service includes every type of impact glazing and opening protection, quoted transparently and installed to code. Here is what we do, item by item.
Hurricane Impact Windows
Impact windows use laminated glass with an inner polyvinyl butyral (PVB) or ionoplast interlayer that holds the pane together even when a 9-pound 2×4 strikes it at 34 miles per hour, which is the standard Miami-Dade County test. Homeowners in Palm Beach Gardens need impact-rated windows when replacing any exterior glazing, and many insurance carriers require them for wind mitigation credits. TruePane installs hurricane impact windows from PGT, CGI, Simonton, and other manufacturer lines, and we measure every opening twice before ordering a single unit.
Impact Sliding Glass Doors
Sliding glass doors are the largest opening in most Florida homes, and the first one to fail in a storm if the tracks are not rated and the panels do not interlock properly. Impact sliding doors use reinforced frames, multi-point locking, and laminated glass with a design pressure rating that meets or exceeds Palm Beach County code. When we install or replace a slider, we set the track level, adjust the rollers, and test the lock engagement the same day.
Impact Entry & French Doors
An impact-rated entry door is not just a door with impact glass in the sidelites. It is a full assembly: reinforced door slab, heavy-gauge hinges, a multi-point lock, and a frame anchored to the rough opening with fasteners at specific intervals. French doors double the complexity because the center astragal must carry the design pressure load of two swinging panels. TruePane installs impact entry and French doors that meet Florida Building Code, and we verify the alignment and swing balance before we leave.
Impact Garage Doors
Garage doors are the single largest wind-load surface on a house, and a non-rated door failing inward can lift the roof peaks and blow the structure apart. Impact garage doors are braced assembled doors with heavier tracks, stronger hardware, and a design pressure rating matched to the wind zone in Palm Beach Gardens. We can retrofit bracing and replace the door assembly, always confirming the spring tension and track alignment are set for the rated load.
Hurricane Shutters & Protection
Some homes in Palm Beach Gardens are not candidates for full impact window replacement, and in those cases, code-compliant hurricane shutters & protection provide the opening protection the Florida Building Code requires. We install accordion, roll-down, and storm panel systems, and we calibrate the tracks and locks so the shutter deploys smoothly after sitting idle for a year. A shutter that binds when the storm is 48 hours out is worse than no shutter at all, because it will not be closed when it matters.
Wind Mitigation & Code Compliance
Wind mitigation is the documented proof that your home’s openings and structural connections meet the standards your insurance carrier uses to calculate premiums. In Palm Beach Gardens, the wind-borne debris region includes the entire city, and many homes built before 2002 do not have the uniform opening protection that current code requires. TruePane performs the installation work that a wind mitigation inspection verifies: impact-rated glazing, shutter systems with a product approval number, and proper anchoring. We also walk you through what the inspector will look for, so there are no surprises when the mitigation report is filed.

Brands We Service for Impact Windows & Doors
We are an authorized installer for PGT and CGI impact window and door lines, which are the two brands most Palm Beach Gardens homeowners know from their product approval numbers and labels on the glass. PGT’s WinGuard series and CGI’s Estate Collection both carry Miami-Dade NOAs, and we have installed hundreds of these units in single-family homes and condominium buildings throughout Palm Beach County. When we quote PGT or CGI, we sit down with you and show the aesthetic differences, the design pressure ratings, and the price line by line on paper.
We also install and service Simonton StormBreaker Plus and Jeld-Wen impact-rated lines, along with more than a dozen other manufacturers. Simonton is a common sight in Palm Beach Gardens because the brand is widely available and well-priced for the mid-range, and Jeld-Wen offers strong impact entry door systems. If your home already has any of these brands, our technicians know their fastening patterns, their hinge hardware, and their known failure points. Whether you have PGT, CGI, Simonton, Jeld-Wen, or any other make, we can provide the replacement glass, hardware, and installation that keeps the warranty valid. And we register both warranty layers, in writing, before the truck leaves the driveway.
Signs You Need Impact Windows & Doors Right Now
- Your windows were installed before the 2002 Florida Building Code. Palm Beach Gardens has two distinct housing eras: pre-2002 and post-2002. The 2002 Florida Building Code was the first statewide code to require wind-borne debris protection across most of Palm Beach County, and homes built before then frequently have standard annealed glass in aluminum frames that would not pass today’s requirements. If your home is 20-plus years old and the windows have never been replaced, you likely do not have impact-rated glazing, and your insurance wind mitigation report will reflect that.
- You can see fog or condensation between the glass panes. A fogged seal means the desiccant inside the insulated glass unit is saturated and the argon or krypton fill has escaped. The laminate interlayer in an impact window is not what has failed; the spacer bar seal has. But on an impact-rated unit, a failed seal does not compromise impact performance, it compromises energy performance and clarity. TruePane can replace the glass unit without replacing the entire frame, provided the frame and fastening system are still sound.
- Your sliding glass door has become hard to open or close, especially in summer. Aluminum frames expand in Palm Beach Gardens heat, and a slider that was set tight can bind when the track gets hot. If you are muscling a sliding door open, the rollers are worn or the track has settled out of level, and an impact-rated door that is not seating correctly in its track can compromise the structural seal that the design pressure rating depends on. This is a repair we handle regularly in Juno Beach and North Palm Beach as much as in Palm Beach Gardens proper.
- You can see daylight or feel drafts around door and window frames. A gap you can see around an impact window or door means the weatherstripping is compressed, the frame has twisted, or the original installation was not square. In a storm, any gap is a place where wind-driven rain forces its way in, and on an impact-rated assembly, the glazing can only perform to its design pressure if the frame is true and the seal is continuous.
- Your insurance company has asked for a wind mitigation report or threatened a premium increase. Florida insurance carriers have tightened underwriting standards repeatedly, and in Palm Beach Gardens many homeowners receive notices requiring verification of opening protection. If your windows and doors cannot be documented as impact-rated, your premiums will rise. We can install the rated glazing or shutter systems that bring your home into compliance, and we supply the documentation your inspector will need.
If you are noticing any of these signs, call (772) 794-8169. A live person answers 24/7, and we will set up a time to inspect the openings that concern you. We do not charge for the estimate, and we will not push you to buy anything your house does not need.
Our Impact Windows & Doors Process - Step by Step
TruePane approaches every impact windows and doors job in Palm Beach Gardens the same way, whether it is a single replacement window in a Juno Beach cottage or a full-house glazing package in a PGA National estate. The process is straightforward and it is written down. Here is how it works.
- 1
Initial phone call and scheduling. A live person answers our phones 24/7. We ask about the age of the home, the number and type of openings, and what the immediate problem is. Then we set a time for a technician to come look, because no honest quote for impact windows in Palm Beach Gardens is given sight unseen.
- 2
On-site measurement and opening inspection. Our background-checked, uniformed technician arrives with a notepad and a laser measure. We inspect the rough openings, check for water intrusion and rot, verify the current anchoring, and measure every opening twice. On a replacement job, we also confirm the existing frame type, because not all frames can carry a laminated impact unit at the required design pressure.
- 3
Written, line-item quote with side-by-side manufacturer options. We quote manufacturer lines on paper, next to each other, with the actual design pressure ratings and warranty durations stated. There is no such thing as a generic impact window, and we do not write quotes that way. Every quote includes the installation labor, the flashing and anchoring materials, and the permit cost, so you see the entire bill before you sign anything.
- 4
Permit application and code compliance review. Impact windows and doors in Palm Beach Gardens require a permit, and TruePane handles the application and the inspections. We know what Palm Beach County and the City of Palm Beach Gardens building officials will ask for, and we prepare the submittal so the permit does not sit in a queue for weeks.
- 5
Installation and the Done Right check. Our installation crews are local, many trained through our own apprenticeship program. Each opening is set plumb, level, and square before a single fastener goes in, and the flashing is layered correctly against the Florida rain load. Before the truck leaves, we walk the job with you: every lock functions, every panel slides, every pane is clean, and both warranty layers are registered in writing. That is The Keystone Standard, and it applies to every TruePane job.
How Much Does Impact Windows & Doors Cost in Palm Beach Gardens?
A single impact-rated window in Palm Beach Gardens, installed, typically runs $800 to $1,600 depending on the size, the frame material, and the design pressure rating. An impact sliding glass door will usually land between $3,500 and $7,000 installed. A full-house replacement with 10 to 14 openings, common for a mid-size Palm Beach Gardens home, spans $15,000 to $35,000 depending on manufacturer line and permitting requirements. Impact garage doors run $3,000 to $8,000 installed, and hurricane shutter systems vary widely by type and opening count.
What moves the price most is the design pressure rating. A window rated for the highest wind zone costs more than one rated for a lower zone, and Palm Beach Gardens is assigned different zones depending on proximity to the coast and the home’s elevation. Frame material matters too: vinyl is the most common and least expensive, aluminum carries higher ratings and a higher price, and impact-rated wood or clad products are top dollar. The other major factor is the condition of the existing rough opening. Rot, previous water damage, and non-standard sizes all add labor. Our free estimate includes a full line-item quote so you see exactly what each unit costs, what the labor costs, and what the permit costs. We do not bid low and add change orders later. A square deal is written in the price we give you upfront.

Frequently Asked Questions - Impact Windows & Doors in Palm Beach Gardens
Impact windows and doors are glazing assemblies built with laminated glass and reinforced frames designed and tested to resist wind-borne debris without the glass separating from the frame. In Palm Beach Gardens, they must meet Florida Building Code requirements for the home’s specific wind zone and carry either a Miami-Dade NOA or a Florida Product Approval number. They protect the building envelope during a storm by staying in place after impact, even if the glass cracks. TruePane installs impact-rated products from PGT, CGI, Simonton, Jeld-Wen, and other approved manufacturers. Call (772) 794-8169 to see exactly what your home needs.
Most single-opening replacements are completed in one day, and a full-house package of 10 to 14 openings typically takes two to four working days on site, plus the time to order the units from the manufacturer. Custom sizes and specialty lines can add two to three weeks of lead time before installation begins. The permitting process in Palm Beach Gardens usually runs in parallel with manufacturing, and TruePane manages that process from submittal to final inspection. We will tell you the exact schedule in writing before you sign anything.
Single impact windows start around $800 installed and run to $1,600; impact sliding doors run $3,500 to $7,000; impact garage doors run $3,000 to $8,000; and full-house replacements run $15,000 to $35,000 depending on the number of openings and the manufacturer line. The main variables are design pressure rating, frame material, and the condition of the existing rough openings. TruePane gives written, line-item quotes with the full cost broken down, and the estimate is free. Call (772) 794-8169 for an exact number on your home.
Yes, TruePane is an authorized installer for PGT and we service existing PGT impact windows and doors throughout Palm Beach Gardens, including the WinGuard and PGT Custom Windows lines.

If you have PGT windows with a fogged seal or a door that binds, we can replace the glass unit or re-set the frame without voiding the manufacturer warranty.

Board-up service and temporary protection are available, and in many cases we can replace the glass unit the same day if the frame is still sound.

Every TruePane job carries the Done Right Promise, which covers workmanship for 90 days with no paperwork fights and no arguing. On top of that, The Keystone Standard means both manufacturer warranty layers, the glass unit warranty and the frame warranty, are registered in writing with their durations stated and a copy left in your hands before the truck leaves the driveway. That is the TruePane way: we stand behind it, in writing. If something is not right, we make it right.
Clear furniture and wall hangings away from the openings, take down window treatments, and give our crew a clear path to each window or door from both inside and outside the house. Move vehicles out of the driveway so the truck can get as close as possible. We handle all the demolition, debris removal, and cleanup, but access is the one thing only you can provide. When we arrive, we will lay drop cloths and run a path from the door to each opening, and we will treat your home the way our own mothers would expect. Call (772) 794-8169 if you have questions about your specific floor plan before installation day.
