Trusted Impact Windows & Doors for Wellington Homeowners

Impact windows and doors in Wellington do two jobs at once: they protect your home during hurricane season and they lower your energy bill every month of the year. TruePane Windows & Doors has installed and serviced impact-rated glass throughout Palm Beach County since 2008, and we’ve seen what happens when a window is set out of true. A gap of an eighth of an inch lets water find the frame, lets wind find the seal, and turns a five-figure investment into a callback nobody wants. Dale Kessler set the rule on day one: if the pane is not true, the job is not done. We stand behind it, in writing, on every install.

If you’re in Wellington and you need a straight answer about impact windows, call (561) 349-4826. A live person picks up, day or night, and we’ll give you a square deal: upfront pricing, both warranty layers registered before the truck leaves your driveway, and a Done Right Promise that means exactly what it says.

What Our Impact Windows & Doors Service Includes

Hurricane Impact Windows

Hurricane impact windows are built with laminated glass that holds together when debris strikes, instead of shattering into your living room. In Wellington, where a summer afternoon can turn into a wind event without much warning, these windows mean the difference between riding out a storm in place and repairing water damage for months afterward. TruePane carries authorized lines from Andersen, Pella, PGT, and CGI, and we quote them side by side on paper so you see exactly what you’re buying. Every opening gets measured twice, because a window that is not square on day one will leak on day one.

Impact Sliding Glass Doors

A sliding glass door is the largest single pane of glass in a Florida home, and it is the first thing that wind pressure tests. We replace and install impact-rated sliders that meet Miami-Dade and Palm Beach County code, set level and square with no binding in the track. Most Wellington homes with a pool or patio get their money back in energy savings and insurance premium reductions within a few years. The Keystone Standard applies here the same as any window: both manufacturer warranty layers registered in writing, durations stated, no fine print that covers neither.

Impact Entry & French Doors

Front entry doors and French doors face a different kind of stress than windows: they open and close, which means hinges, thresholds, and strike plates all take wear. An impact-rated entry door with a weak frame or a misaligned threshold will fail inspection even if the glass itself is rated for a Category 5. TruePane installs impact entry and French doors with the same attention to the supporting structure that we give the glass, because the lab rating only counts if the install is true. We pull permits, schedule inspections, and make sure the door closes square the first time and the thousandth time.

Impact Garage Doors

Garage doors are the most commonly overlooked opening in a Wellington home during a wind event. A non-rated garage door can turn into a sail, and once it goes, the pressure change inside the house starts pulling at every other window and door. We install and retrofit impact-rated garage doors and bracing systems that meet current code, and we check the track, the springs, and the perimeter seals on every job. If your garage door predates the 2001 Florida Building Code, it’s worth a professional look, because code changed for a reason.

Hurricane Shutters & Protection

Not every Wellington home needs new windows. For some houses, code-compliant shutters and protection systems are the smarter spend. We install accordion shutters, roll-downs, and panel systems, and we’ll tell you plainly when shutters make more sense than replacing your glass. TruePane has been in town long enough to say no to a job that does not need doing. That is part of the square deal.

Wind Mitigation & Code Compliance

Palm Beach County code enforcement has tightened steadily since Hurricane Andrew, and Wellington inspections will not pass a retrofit on good intentions. We handle wind mitigation inspections, code compliance retrofits, and the paperwork that your insurance company wants to see. That paperwork matters: a proper wind mitigation report can drop your premiums noticeably, and an improper one can void a claim. We register both warranty layers and provide the documentation before the truck leaves.

Brands We Service for Impact Windows & Doors

We are an authorized installer for more than a dozen manufacturer lines, including. With Andersen, we’ve handled everything from their 400 Series impact-rated casements to their A-Series double-hungs, and we know the hardware on those units well enough to fix a worn sash balance without guessing. Pella’s impact line, particularly their Architect Series wood-clad French doors, has its own quirks around threshold sealing and jamb alignment, and our technicians have set enough of them to know what needs to be true before the first coat of finish goes on.

Marvin and Milgard round out the lines we quote most often in Wellington. Marvin’s impact-rated Ultimate line carries tight tolerances, and a Marvin window that is installed even slightly out of square will wear its hardware unevenly; we measure every opening twice and set the frame dead level before the sash goes in. Milgard’s impact windows have a strong footprint in Florida, and we service their Tuscany and Ultra series regularly. Whether you have one of those brands, a PGT or CGI unit, or something else entirely, we can help. The brand on the sticker matters less than the way the frame sits in the opening.

Signs You Need Impact Windows & Doors Right Now

• Your windows are original to a house built before 2001. The Florida Building Code changed after Hurricane Andrew hit, and anything installed before then was not required to meet current impact standards. That means your current windows may not pass a wind mitigation inspection, and your insurance company may already be charging you more because of it. Upgrading now fixes both the protection gap and the premium problem, and we’ll pull the permits and handle the inspection paperwork for you.
• You can feel air moving around the frame on a windy day. A window that leaks air is a window that leaks water, and in Wellington’s summer humidity, that water becomes mold inside the wall cavity before you ever see a stain on the drywall. The frame has likely shifted or the seal has failed, and the fix is rarely a new piece of weatherstripping alone. A truePane technician can assess the opening and tell you whether the frame or the glass is the problem, and what the honest repair looks like.
• Your sliding glass door binds in the heat or sticks after rain. Aluminum frames expand and contract with temperature, and a door that was set slightly out of level will bind in July and stick after a storm. That binding is more than an annoyance: it puts stress on the lock, the rollers, and the jamb, which shortens the life of the door and makes it harder to open in an emergency. We set sliders dead level and square, and the difference is immediate.
• You have aluminum framed windows with condensation between the panes. Condensation between the panes means the seal has failed and the insulating gas has escaped. The window has lost its thermal value and its impact rating is compromised. Once a seal fails, there is no repair that restores the original performance; the glass unit needs to be replaced. We handle that kind of glazing work in-house, and we’ll register the warranty on the new unit before we leave.
• Your home insurance premiums have climbed and you don’t know why. Many Wellington homeowners do not realize how much of their premium is tied to the storm rating of their windows and doors. A wind mitigation report that shows current impact-rated protection can reduce premiums significantly, and a report that shows the opposite is costing you money every single year. We do wind mitigation inspections and give you the documentation your insurer wants, with the numbers stated plainly.

Our Impact Windows & Doors Process - Step by Step

Our process is not complicated because it was never designed to be. TruePane has spent years learning that homeowners want a straight line from first call to finished install, and that every detour from that line is a place where errors creep in. Here is how a typical impact window or door job runs in Wellington.

1. 1
   Call and talk to a person. When you call (561) 349-4826, a live person answers. Not a voicemail tree, not a callback form, not a regional call center. We’ll ask about your house, your current windows, and what you’re trying to solve, and then we’ll schedule a time that works for you. We’ll be there when we say.
2. 2
   We come out and measure. A background-checked, uniformed technician will visit your home and measure every opening twice. Twice, not once, because a sixteenth of an inch matters when you’re setting impact-rated frames. We’ll check the condition of the existing frames, the squareness of the openings, and any water intrusion signs that might affect the install. Then we’ll sit down with you and quote manufacturer lines side by side on paper, with the numbers written out.
3. 3
   You approve the line-item quote. No surprise line items on the bill, ever. What we quote is what you pay, and the quote includes the materials, the labor, the permits, and the inspection fees. We do not use change orders as a business model. If the job costs less than we quoted, you pay less; if it costs more, that’s on us.
4. 4
   We install and register the warranties. The install crew sets every window and door level, square, and true. We fasten per manufacturer spec and Florida Building Code, we flash the openings correctly, and we clean up when we’re done. Before the truck leaves your driveway, we register both manufacturer warranty layers in writing, with durations stated, so there is no post-install warranty runaround if something ever needs service.
5. 5
   We follow up and stand behind it. The Done Right Promise covers the workmanship on every job. If it is not done right, we make it right. No paperwork fights, no arguing, no fine print that covers neither. That has been the standard since 2008, and it will be the standard in thirty more.

Frequently Asked Questions - Impact Windows & Doors in Wellington

What are impact windows and doors?

Impact windows and doors are glass units built with a laminated interlayer that holds the pane together when struck by flying debris during a hurricane. The glass may crack, but it will not shatter and blow into the house. In Wellington and throughout Palm Beach County, impact-rated openings must meet Florida Building Code standards, and a proper install includes the frame, the anchoring, and the flashing, not just the glass itself. That is the difference between an impact window that passes inspection and a window that only looks like it should.

How long does impact window and door installation take?

Most single-opening jobs, like a sliding glass door or a pair of French doors, are completed in a single visit. A full house of impact windows in Wellington typically takes two to five working days depending on the number of openings and the condition of the existing frames. We schedule the permit and the inspection in advance, and we do not leave a job half-done waiting on a second appointment. Most jobs are completed in a single visit, and we’ll tell you the timeline before we start.

How much does impact window installation cost in Wellington?

A typical impact window runs $800 to $1,500 installed, a sliding glass door runs $3,000 to $6,000, and an entry door with side lites runs $4,000 to $8,000, all including permits and the workmanship warranty. The exact number depends on the manufacturer line, the size of the opening, and whether any frame repair is needed. Call (561) 349-4826 for a free estimate with a written line-item price; seniors and veterans get a permanent 5% discount.

Do you service Andersen and Pella impact windows?

Yes. TruePane is an authorized installer for impact-rated lines, and we also service and install, PGT, and CGI. We quote manufacturer lines side by side on paper so you see the actual difference in price and performance, not a sales pitch. Both warranty layers get registered in writing before we leave your driveway, regardless of which brand you choose.

Can you handle an emergency window or door failure?

A live person answers the phone at (561) 349-4826 24 hours a day, seven days a week. If you have a shattered window, a door that will not close, or storm damage that needs to be secured, call us directly and we’ll get a technician out to assess the situation. Before a hurricane makes landfall, the best emergency plan is to have your impact protection installed and inspected in advance, and we can help you get there.

What kind of warranty comes with impact windows and doors?

The Keystone Standard means both manufacturer warranty layers are registered in writing, with durations stated, before the truck leaves your driveway. That includes the manufacturer’s warranty on the glass and the workmanship coverage under our Done Right Promise. If it is not done right, we make it right, in writing, with no paperwork fights and no arguing. We stand behind it.

How should I prepare for an impact window installation?

Clear the area around every window and door that we’re replacing, and move anything fragile away from the work zone. We’ll lay down protection for your floors and clean up when the job is done, so you don’t need to pull out the drop cloths yourself. If you have a security system with window sensors, let us know before we start so we can coordinate with your alarm company. A little prep makes the install go faster, and faster is better for everyone.
