AfterFast, Reliable Window Installation Across Palm Beach
Window installation in Palm Beach means working within a set of rules that do not exist anywhere else in Florida. The Town requires impact-rated glazing that meets Miami-Dade’s highest wind-load standards, and on any landmark or contributing structure, the Architectural Commission must sign off on the frame depth, muntin profile, and finish before a permit clears. TruePane Windows & Doors handles both sides of that equation. We have installed, replaced, and serviced windows on the island for years, and we know which products pass ARCOM review and which ones never will. Call (561) 349-4826 for a free estimate and a straight answer about what your house actually needs.
Why TruePane Windows & Doors Is Palm Beach’s Preferred Window Installation Company
Dale Kessler founded TruePane in 2008 on a rule he learned as a second-generation glazier: if the pane is not true, the job is not done. That standard has not moved since. Homeowners across Palm Beach call us because we quote manufacturer lines side by side on paper, register both warranty layers in writing before the truck leaves the driveway, and stand behind the work for 90 days with the Done Right Promise. No fine print, no arguing. If something is not right, we make it right.
Palm Beach customers also know that a live person answers our phone 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Not a voicemail tree. Not a callback form. When a window loses its seal in July or a casement crank binds after a storm, someone picks up. Our technicians are background-checked, uniformed, and they measure every opening twice. We are an authorized installer for more than a dozen manufacturer lines, including, PGT, and CGI, so we are not married to one product or one price point. We match the window to the house and to ARCOM’s requirements, not the other way around.
Our Window Installation Services in Palm Beach
Casement Windows
Casement windows are the workhorse of Palm Beach’s historic architecture. Mizner-era estates were built with steel casements that swing outward on bronze hinges, and replacing them requires a window that holds the same sightlines while carrying full Miami-Dade NOA impact ratings. We install casement windows from several manufacturers, including ES Windows and CGI, with frame depths and muntin profiles that ARCOM will approve on contributing properties. The hardware matters as much as the glass. We specify marine-grade stainless or bronze hardware on both the Atlantic and Intracoastal sides of the island because standard aluminum corrodes within a few seasons of direct salt spray.
Awning Windows
Awning windows hinge at the top and open outward, which makes them practical for Palm Beach’s afternoon rain patterns. They let in air while shedding water, and they are common in secondary rooms, service areas, and mid-century homes in the Estate Section and north of Royal Palm Way. We install impact-rated awning units that meet the same Miami-Dade standards as any other opening. For landmark properties, we can match the original frame profile and finish so the permit review does not stall.
Fixed & Picture Windows
Fixed and picture windows carry the most wind load of any opening because they have no operable sash to relieve pressure. On a barrier island in the highest hurricane wind-load zone in the county, that means the glazing has to be thick, laminated, and properly anchored to the structure. We install fixed windows in Palm Beach homes from Worth Avenue to the North End, and we do not cut corners on the NOA listing for the exact product and size. A window with the wrong listing fails the final inspection, and worse, it fails when a named storm actually hits.
Single & Double Hung Windows
Single and double hung windows are more common in Palm Beach’s mid-century homes and newer spec construction than in the Mizner-era estates, but they still have to meet the Town’s impact standards. We can walk you through both single and double hung units with laminated impact glass, and we pay close attention to the meeting rail and interlock because those are the first points of water intrusion in a driving rain. For homes east of South Ocean Boulevard, we recommend marine-grade hardware throughout.

Trusted Brands We Service in Palm Beach
We are an authorized installer for ES Windows, ECO Window Systems, among more than a dozen manufacturer lines. That matters in Palm Beach because no single brand covers every ARCOM scenario. A modern view window on a new North End spec house has different requirements than a replacement arched casement on a landmarked Mediterranean Revival property. We quote the right product for the right opening, side by side on paper, and we show you the Miami-Dade NOA listing for each one. No guesswork, no substitution after the contract is signed.
Common Window Installation Problems We See in Palm Beach Homes
- ARCOM denial on the first submittal. A contractor with no island experience submits a standard white vinyl impact slider to the Architectural Commission and gets rejected. We pull the original architectural drawings from the Town archive and specify frame depth and muntin profile before the application ever goes in.
- Corroded aluminum frames and hardware. Salt spray from the Atlantic on one side and the Intracoastal on the other eats standard aluminum fast. We see jamb seizing and sash failure within a few seasons. Marine-grade stainless or bronze hardware is not an upgrade here; it is a requirement.
- Impact glass with the wrong NOA listing. Buying impact-rated glazing without verifying the Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance for the exact product and size leaves a homeowner with a window that passes neither the final inspection nor a future insurance claim. We verify the listing before we order anything.
- Fogged seals from thermal stress on oceanfront exposures. Direct sun and salt air punish insulated glass units, especially on south and east elevations. We see failed seals on windows that are only a few years old when the original installer used the wrong spacer or edge seal for a salt environment.
Pricing for Window Installation in Palm Beach, FL
A typical casement window replacement in Palm Beach runs $850 to $1,400 per opening for a standard impact-rated unit, installed. Awning windows run $700 to $1,100. Fixed and picture windows run $900 to $1,500 depending on glass area and wind-load zone, which on the island is the strictest in the county. Historic-profile casements with bronze hardware and custom muntin patterns run $1,500 to $2,800 per opening because they are made to match an original that has not been manufactured since the 1930s. Marine-grade hardware adds $150 to $400 per unit depending on the manufacturer. We give you a written, line-item quote before any work starts, and the price on that quote is the price on the final bill. Call (561) 349-4826 to schedule a free estimate.

FAQs - Window Installation in Palm Beach
Palm Beach requires impact-rated glazing that carries a Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance for the exact product, size, and application being installed. The NOA listing is product-specific, not a blanket certification, so a window that passes in a standard rectangular opening may not pass in an arched or oversized opening. We verify the NOA before ordering and include it with your quote. Call (561) 349-4826 for an exact window-by-window assessment, and estimates are free.
ARCOM review applies to landmark structures and contributing properties, which includes most of the Mizner-era Mediterranean Revival estates on the island, but the Town’s architectural guidelines cover all exterior changes in certain districts. Even on non-contributing homes, the Town limits profile depth, color, and muntin patterns visible from the street. We can tell you at the estimate whether your house falls under full ARCOM review or the standard building permit path. Call (561) 349-4826 and we will check the property designation before you spend a dime on drawings.
Palm Beach is a narrow barrier island with direct ocean salt spray on the Atlantic side and Intracoastal salt exposure on the west side. Standard aluminum hardware corrodes quickly in that environment, causing jammed sashes, seized cranks, and premature frame failure within a few seasons. Marine-grade stainless or bronze hardware costs more upfront, but it is the difference between a window that works for thirty years and one that fights you after three. Call (561) 349-4826 for a quote that includes the right hardware the first time.
No. A standard insulated glass unit will not meet Miami-Dade impact requirements, and an impact-rated unit for a historic casement has to be specified with the right thickness, lamination, and edge seal for a salt-air environment. Argon fill can be used in some impact-rated configurations, but the spacer and seal system must be selected for coastal humidity and thermal cycling. We specify every component, not just the glass. Call (561) 349-4826 and we will show you the spec sheet line by line.
Documented ARCOM approval and a verified NOA listing do two things: they satisfy the building department’s final inspection, and they give your insurer proof that the window met the code standard in effect when it was installed. Without that paperwork, a post-storm claim can be reduced or denied on the grounds that the opening did not meet wind-load requirements. We provide both documents with every installation in Palm Beach, in writing, before the crew leaves the driveway. Call (561) 349-4826 to talk through your house and your policy.
