AfterFast, Reliable Window Replacement Across West Palm Beach
Window replacement in West Palm Beach costs between roughly $850 and $3,200 per opening depending on frame condition, glass package, and whether the home sits in a designated historic district. For a typical 1950s concrete block ranch, a full-frame impact-rated replacement usually lands between $1,400 and $2,200 per window. For a 1920s Mediterranean Revival home in Flamingo Park or El Cid that requires Historic Preservation Board review plus county wind-load certification, expect the same opening to run $2,400 to $3,800 or more. Our crews work West Palm Beach neighborhoods every week, and the phone you call reaches a live person twenty-four hours a day: (772) 794-8169.
We know this city’s houses because we have opened thousands of their walls. What we find inside is rarely just a tired window. It is a 1950s jalousie frame with rusted hardware, or an original steel casement rotted through at the sill from Intracoastal salt spray, or rough framing that sagged decades ago and was never squared. That is the real job. The window is the easy part.
Why TruePane Windows & Doors Is West Palm Beach’s Preferred Window Replacement Company
Dale Kessler founded TruePane in 2008 on a rule that has not changed since: if the pane is not true, the job is not done. We are a second-generation glazier’s shop, not a franchise. The crews who work in West Palm Beach are background-checked, uniformed, and trained as apprentices into journeymen. They measure every opening twice, and they quote manufacturer lines side by side on paper so you see what you are buying before you spend a dollar.
Reviews from West Palm Beach customers consistently mention two things we do not advertise but do not apologize for: we show up when we say, and we stand behind the work in writing. That is the Keystone Standard. Both manufacturer warranty layers get registered before the truck leaves your driveway. Workmanship carries a Done Right Promise. No paperwork fights. No arguing. If it is not done right, we make it right.
We work West Palm Beach neighborhoods like Flamingo Park, El Cid, Prospect Park, and the postwar concrete block streets west of Parker Avenue. We know the city’s two permit queues, the salt-spray problem east of Australian Avenue, and the difference between what a county reviewer will pass and what a Historic Preservation Board member will sign off on. That knowledge is not on a spec sheet. It is in the bones of the crew.
Our Window Replacement team coordinates West Palm Beach scheduling from our South Florida metro office, so dispatch is local and the people who answer the phone know the city. Live person, every time, any hour.
Our Window Replacement Services in West Palm Beach
Full Frame Replacement
Full frame replacement is the only correct answer when the original window was set into a 1920s masonry opening or a 1950s concrete block pocket that has settled out of square. We remove the entire existing unit down to the rough opening, square and shim the framing, flash the perimeter with tape, and set a fusion-welded replacement frame that will pass Palm Beach County’s wind-driven rain test. No insert can fix a rusted steel casement or a jalousie frame that is pulling away from the block.
Insert Window Replacement
When the existing frame is square, sound, and dry, an insert window slips into the old frame and trims out clean. This works well on newer West Palm Beach construction and on homes where the original aluminum frame is still true. We measure every opening twice before ordering. An insert costs less than a full frame, but we will tell you honestly when it is the wrong fix. On a 1960s concrete block ranch in West Gate or a jalousie house in Southland Park, the rust and sag usually mean full frame is the only path to a window that closes and seals.
Storm Window Replacement
Storm window replacement in West Palm Beach means impact-rated glazing that carries Florida Product Approval for the county’s 150-plus mph design wind speeds. Original single-pane jalousies and old aluminum sliders do not meet that bar. We install PGT and CGI impact packages with laminated glass and marine-grade hardware rated for the salt air that moves off the Intracoastal and the Atlantic. The product approval label stays on the frame. The permit office checks for it.
Energy-Efficient Upgrade
West Palm Beach cooling bills run high from May through October. Swapping single-pane aluminum sliders for low-E double-pane impact units drops heat gain measurably and quiets the street noise that carries through older Florida window frames. We quote low-E coatings and argon fills side by side on paper so you can see the added cost against the glass performance. For most West Palm Beach homes, the energy upgrade and the storm requirement get addressed with a single impact-rated unit. It is not two jobs. It is one window chosen correctly.
Historic Window Restoration
Flamingo Park, El Cid, and Prospect Park hold hundreds of 1920s to 1940s Mediterranean Revival and Mission-style homes whose original steel casements cannot be replaced with a stock vinyl window and still pass design review. Historic window restoration in West Palm Beach means sourcing impact-rated simulated divided-lite profiles that match the original lite pattern and honor the architectural character while carrying a valid Florida Product Approval. We handle the Historic Preservation Board submittal and the county permit as two separate tracks with one coherent plan. That is the only way a project in these districts moves without a stop-work order.

Trusted Brands We Service in West Palm Beach
TruePane is an authorized installer for more than a dozen manufacturer lines, and for West Palm Beach work we lean on the brands built for this climate: PGT, CGI, CWS, and ES Windows. These are impact-rated, Florida Product Approval lines with marine-grade hardware options and corrosion-resistant frame finishes. We quote them side by side on paper at the kitchen table, not through a portal. When a homeowner needs a specific lite pattern or a particular frame color reviewed by the Historic Preservation Board, we already know which manufacturer’s spec sheet survives that conversation.
Common Window Replacement Problems We See in West Palm Beach Homes
- Rusted steel casement frames in historic districts. Original metal windows from the 1920s and 1930s corrode at the sill within a few miles of the Intracoastal. Salt spray accelerates pitting, and the sash eventually will not close. Full frame replacement is the fix, and the replacement must carry both design review approval and wind-load certification.
- Wind-driven rain leaking around 1950s jalousie frames. Concrete block ranch homes with original single-pane jalousies leak air and water at the jamb because the original opening was never flashed properly. An insert installed without shimming and flashing tape duplicates the problem. We square the opening and flash the perimeter before the new frame goes in.
- Stop-work orders from skipped historic review. Contractors who pull only a county permit on a Flamingo Park or El Cid replacement sometimes get flagged mid-job when an inspector notices the divided-lite profile does not match the original. The job stops, the homeowner eats the delay, and the windows already ordered may not pass. We file both reviews before we order. It adds two to four weeks on the front end and prevents months of pain on the back end.
- Aluminum frame pitting within a few years. Standard big-box aluminum frames installed east of Australian Avenue show pitting and seal failure on hardware and weatherstripping inside five years. Marine-grade hardware and anodized or PVC-clad frames are not an upsell here. They are the difference between a window that lasts fifteen years and one that looks tired in five.
Pricing for Window Replacement in West Palm Beach, FL
A standard insert window replacement in West Palm Beach runs $850 to $1,500 per opening. Full frame replacement on a 1950s concrete block house runs $1,400 to $2,200 per window. Historic district replacements in Flamingo Park or El Cid with simulated divided lites and impact glass run $2,400 to $3,800 per opening because the product itself costs more and the dual approval process adds engineering time. Large-format sliding door replacements in downtown condos run $3,000 to $8,000 depending on width and HOA requirements.
What moves the number: the rough opening condition, the glass package, the lite pattern, and whether the property is in a designated historic district. We write line-item quotes with allowances for framing repair, so if we open a wall and find rotted wood, the price does not silently climb. Any change gets priced and approved in writing before we touch it. Call (772) 794-8169 for a free estimate. You will get a number on paper, not a range in a brochure.

FAQs - Window Replacement in West Palm Beach
Yes. Flamingo Park and the other designated historic districts in West Palm Beach operate under two separate approval queues: the city’s Historic Preservation Board reviews the replacement window’s profile and architectural character, and Palm Beach County’s building department reviews the product’s impact-rating and installation method. The two reviews are not synchronized, and a product that passes one is sometimes rejected by the other. TruePane handles both submittals as one coordinated plan. Call (772) 794-8169 and we will walk you through the exact sequence for your street.
Most 1960s concrete block homes in West Palm Beach were built with single-pane jalousie or sliding windows set directly into the block, with no flashed rough opening and no insulation pocket. By the time the aluminum is pitted and the jalousie clips are failing, the rough opening is usually out of square and the jamb has been leaking for years. An insert window preserves the failed jamb. A full frame replacement squares the opening, flashes the perimeter, and gives you a window that actually seals. Call (772) 794-8169 and we will tell you which one your house needs after measuring it.
We write a framing allowance into the contract before we start, based on what we can see during the estimate and what we know about the house type. When we open a wall and find rotted wood or masonry that has cracked, we stop, photograph it, price the repair, and get your written approval before we do the work. There is no surprise line item on the final bill. The price you approve is the price you pay. Call (772) 794-8169 for an estimate that includes the allowance up front.
Yes. The route is an impact-rated simulated divided-lite window with a profile that matches your original lite pattern closely enough to pass Historic Preservation Board review while carrying Florida Product Approval for Palm Beach County wind loads. Not every manufacturer makes a product that clears both reviews. We have already navigated this for El Cid, Flamingo Park, and Prospect Park homes, and we know which product lines get approved without a second design review. Call (772) 794-8169 and we will bring samples to the house.
An insert window fits inside the existing jalousie frame and trims out over it. A full frame replacement removes the entire jalousie frame down to the rough opening, squares and flashes the opening, and installs a new welded frame. For most 1950s West Palm Beach jalousies, the original frame is pitted, sagging, and leaking, so an insert simply hides the problem behind new trim. A full frame replacement fixes the part that is actually failing. Call (772) 794-8169 and we will explain which one your openings need, in plain terms, after we measure.
