AfterFast, Reliable Window Replacement Across Wellington
Window replacement in Wellington typically runs $850-$2,400 per opening for a standard impact-rated insert, and $1,500-$4,200 for a full-frame replacement on the area’s common CBS construction. Most Wellington jobs we schedule take one to two days on site, though custom millwork and oversized sliders add lead time before we ever set foot in the house. TruePane Windows & Doors has served Wellington homeowners for years, and we know the difference between an Olympia original aluminum frame and a Palm Beach Polo custom jamb.

Why TruePane Windows & Doors Is Wellington’s Preferred Window Replacement Company
Wellington keeps us honest. This is a community of planned developments with active HOA boards, architectural review committees, and homeowners who read the fine print. That suits us. We’re a second-generation glazier’s company led by Dale Kessler, and our crews treat every Wellington opening like the HOA will inspect it, because often they will.
Our technicians are background-checked and uniformed. They measure every opening twice, quote manufacturer lines side by side on paper, and register both warranty layers before the truck leaves your driveway. That’s The Keystone Standard we’ve applied since 2008: durations stated in writing, no arguing, no paperwork fights.
Wellington homeowners call us for replacements in Versailles, Olympia, the Palm Beach Polo estates, and the acreage parcels off South Shore Boulevard and Lake Worth Road. They want a company that answers the phone when the HOA flags something three weeks after the install. We’re that company. A live person answers 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Not a voicemail tree. Not a callback form.
We also understand what it means to work in a community where the neighbor notices the flashing detail. Our workmanship is covered by the Done Right Promise. If it’s not done right, we make it right. If the pane is not true, the job is not done.
Our Window Replacement Services in Wellington
Every Wellington home has a different relationship with its windows. An Olympia ranch built in 1992 needs different work than a Palm Beach Polo estate with custom millwork and two-story sliders. These are the services we perform most often across the area.
Full Frame Replacement
Full frame replacement means pulling the entire window down to the rough opening, replacing jambs, sill, and casing. In Wellington’s CBS construction, this is often the right call once the original aluminum frame has corroded or the rough opening was never flashed properly. We build the new opening to current Palm Beach County code, flash with modern tape systems, and set the replacement to a proper jamb depth. For homes in Olympia and Versailles, full frame work also resolves decades of air infiltration and water staining around original 1980s-1990s settings.
Insert Window Replacement
If the existing frame is square, sound, and dry, an insert replacement can save meaningful money without compromising the glass package. We measure the opening, order an insert that fits inside the existing jamb, and seal it correctly. Many Wellington ranch homes with original single-pane aluminum can’t take inserts because the frame itself is failing. But when the frame is true, an insert with a proper low-E impact-rated unit runs $850-$2,400 per opening.
Storm Window Replacement
Wellington’s original single-pane windows predate Florida’s post-Andrew impact standards. A storm window replacement brings those openings to current impact-rated specification without a full tear-out in every case. This matters on the 1980s and 1990s builds scattered through Greenview Shores and the lakeside streets off Wellington Trace. We quote the manufacturer’s Florida Product Approval number so the permit review is clean and the HOA has what it needs in writing.
Energy-Efficient Upgrade
Single-pane aluminum frames leak conditioned air all year. A low-E insulated glass unit with argon fill in a properly sealed frame changes how a Wellington house feels from August through October, when the humidity hangs and the air conditioner never stops. We recommend this work for homeowners in the older sections of Wellington who plan to stay in the house. The energy savings are real, but the comfort difference is why people call us back to do the second story.
Historic Window Restoration
Some Wellington homes, particularly in the Palm Beach Polo estates and along the older equestrian parcels, have window designs worth preserving. If the original sashes are wood or the opening is a custom barn-style configuration, we restore what can be restored and replace only what’s failed. Dale Kessler’s glazier background means we’d rather rebuild a sash than tear it out and start over. We’ll match profiles, millwork, and sightlines, and we’ll get the opening approved by the HOA before the first tool comes off the truck.
Trusted Brands We Service in Wellington
TruePane is an authorized installer for more than a dozen manufacturer lines, including, PGT, CGI, and ES Windows. For Wellington’s specific code path, we often recommend Andersen 400 Series impact-rated casements and double-hungs, and ES Windows for custom sightlines on estate work. We also work with ECO Window Systems where a homeowner wants a specific profile or finish. We quote brands side by side on paper so you see exactly what you’re buying before you commit.
Common Window Replacement Problems We See in Wellington Homes
- Seal failure in original insulated glass units. The single-pane aluminum frames from the 1980s-1990s CBS builds weren’t built for Florida humidity. Once the seal fails, the argon is gone and the pane fogs between the glass. This is common across Olympia and Versailles, and it almost always means full-frame replacement rather than an insert.
- Code confusion between FL numbers and Miami-Dade NOA. Wellington sits outside the High Velocity Hurricane Zone, so a standard Florida Product Approval number satisfies code for impact-rated windows here. We’ve seen jobs red-tagged because a contractor from the coast used a Miami-Dade NOA product at NOA pricing when an FL-number product would have met every requirement and cost less.
- Oversized sliders engineered for the wrong opening. Estate parcels in Palm Beach Polo and Mallet Hill often need impact-rated sliders wider than the stock residential jamb depth allows. If the installation isn’t engineered for Palm Beach County’s 140-mph wind-load spec, the frame fails inspection. This isn’t a trim-level problem. It’s a structural one.
- Water intrusion around original flashing. Wellington’s 1990s-era homes were flashed with materials that have since broken down. We regularly find rotted jamb subsills and stained drywall inside behind the casing. The window itself may still function, but the opening is failing behind it.
Pricing for Window Replacement in Wellington, FL
A typical insert replacement in Wellington runs $850-$2,400 per window installed. Full-frame replacement on a standard CBS opening runs $1,500-$4,200 per window, depending on jamb depth, millwork, and the glass package. Oversized impact sliders for the equestrian estates start around $6,000 and climb from there, because those openings are commercial-grade in width and must carry engineering for the wind-load spec. Custom millwork, specialty finishes, and historical restoration add cost by the lineal foot, not by the window.
What affects the price in Wellington more than anything is the code path. Because we’re outside the HVHZ, you don’t need to pay for Miami-Dade NOA listings on standard residential openings. You need the FL number, which keeps product cost where it belongs. We’ll show you the difference on paper.
Call (561) 349-4826 for a free estimate. We give written line-item pricing before we order anything, and we’ll register both warranty layers before the truck leaves your driveway.

FAQs - Window Replacement in Wellington
Yes. Wellington is in Florida’s wind-borne debris region, but it is not in the High Velocity Hurricane Zone that covers Miami-Dade and Broward counties. That means a standard Florida Product Approval number satisfies code for impact-rated windows here. Boca and Delray contractors must often carry Miami-Dade NOA listings on the same products, which adds cost. In practice, a Wellington homeowner can spend 15-25% less on the same impact-rated glass package simply because the code path doesn’t require the NOA designation. We specify to the FL number, not the NOA, and we show both on the quote.
Call (561) 349-4826 and we’ll walk you through the difference on your specific openings.
Because those homes were built between the late 1980s and early 2000s, before Palm Beach County mandated impact-rated replacements on permitted change-outs. The original aluminum frames were cheap, the single-pane glass was thin, and no one was thinking about 140-mph wind loads in a planned community 15 miles from the coast. Now the frames are corroding, the seals are blown, and any permitted replacement forces the upgrade. That’s why we see entire streets in Olympia and Versailles going through replacement a few houses at a time. The county won’t let you patch the old opening. You have to bring it to code.
Yes. We’ve done this work repeatedly on properties off South Shore Boulevard and throughout the Palm Beach Polo estates. These openings are wider than stock residential sliders, and they have to meet the 140-mph wind-load spec while passing HOA architectural review. We order the frames with the correct jamb depth and engineering from the start. It doesn’t get red-tagged at inspection because we don’t guess at the engineering. Lead time on these runs six to twelve weeks depending on the manufacturer. We lock the price before the factory cuts the first extrusion.
In most Wellington homes from the 1980s and 1990s, yes. The fog means the insulated glass unit seal has failed. In a single-pane aluminum frame, there’s no gas fill left and no fix that makes sense. You’re looking at full-frame replacement because the frame itself is typically at the end of its life. In a newer home with a sound frame, an insert replacement can resolve the fogged unit with a new IGU. We’ll tell you which one you have after measuring the opening and checking the frame condition. Estimates are free.
Lead time doesn’t change the price; it changes the schedule. On custom millwork and oversized estate openings, the factory lead time is six to twelve weeks. That’s the calendar. We write the order, lock the price in writing, and hand you a schedule with dates on it. If you wait until the millwork is done to order the windows, the windows arrive late and the job stalls. We’d rather start the window order the same week we measure, so the glass shows up when the jamb is ready. The price is fixed before we order. The lead time is stated up front. No surprises on either.
