AfterFast, Reliable Window Installation Across Wellington
Window installation in Wellington runs $550 to $1,900 per opening for standard impact-rated replacement units, and a full-home retrofit on a 1990s CBS ranch typically lands between $12,000 and $28,000 depending on opening count and product line. We schedule every Wellington job with a written quote before any work starts, and our crews know Palm Beach County’s wind-born debris code requirements cold.

Why TruePane Windows & Doors Is Wellington’s Preferred Window Installation Company
TruePane Windows & Doors is led by Dale Kessler, a second-generation glazier who started the company in 2008 after watching too many Florida homeowners get handed voided warranties and out-of-true installs. The rule on our whiteboard hasn’t changed since day one: if the pane is not true, the job is not done. Wellington homeowners 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 with a Done Right Promise. No fine print. No arguing.
We’re not a franchise operation running crews out of three states. We hire locally, train apprentices into journeymen, and send background-checked, uniformed technicians to every Wellington job. A live person answers our phone 24 hours a day, seven days a week, which matters when you’re calling at 7 a.m. on a Saturday to ask why your slider is binding after a storm. Dispatch and scheduling are coordinated from our South Florida office, but the crews who show up at your door live and work in this area. We plan to be answering that phone in thirty years.
Our Window Installation Services in Wellington
We handle the full range of residential window installation, but three products dominate the conversation in Wellington: sliding windows, casement windows, and fixed or picture windows. Here’s what we see in the field.
Sliding Windows
Sliding windows are the workhorse of Wellington’s CBS ranches, and they’re also where we find the most failures. Original single-pane aluminum sliders from the 1980s and 1990s fog up, bind on their tracks, and leak air around worn jamb seals. We replace them with impact-rated units that carry proper Florida Product Approval numbers and meet Palm Beach County’s 140-mph wind-load requirement. The upgrade matters twice over: the window actually seals, and the permit closes clean because the FL number is on file.
Casement Windows
Casement windows give you the tightest seal of any operable window type, which is exactly what you want in a climate where afternoon thunderstorms arrive sideways. In Wellington’s equestrian estate corridor, we often see casement units specified for second-story bedrooms where homeowners want cross-ventilation without giving up impact protection. We carry PGT and CGI casement lines that combine laminated impact glass with multi-point locking hardware.
Fixed & Picture Windows
Fixed and picture windows do the heavy lifting on the back elevations of Wellington homes looking out over lakes, preserves, or paddocks. They never open, so the failure modes are different: seal failure, glass delamination, and frame warping from years of western sun exposure. When we install a new fixed unit, we re-flash every jamb and check the rough opening for moisture damage that’s been hiding behind the old frame. That step is not optional on stucco openings in Palm Beach County.
Awning Windows
Awning windows hinge at the top and open outward, which makes them a good fit for Wellington bathrooms, utility rooms, and anywhere you want ventilation during light rain without water getting in. We install them in standard widths as well as custom sizes for older CBS openings that were never framed to modern dimensions. The same impact-rated glass and FL product approval requirements apply, and we register the warranty layers the same way we do on every other job.

Trusted Brands We Service in Wellington
TruePane is an authorized installer for more than a dozen manufacturer lines, and for Wellington homes we regularly quote PGT, CGI, and CWS side by side on paper. Each manufacturer offers different glass packages, frame materials, and warranty terms, and you should see those differences in writing before you commit. We stock common replacement parts and hardware locally, so a fogged pane or failed latch doesn’t have to mean waiting two weeks for a part to ship. That’s part of what being a local installer means when the nearest big-box counter is 15 miles away.
Common Window Installation Problems We See in Wellington Homes
- Non-impact windows on a permitted change-out. Palm Beach County requires impact-rated replacements on any permitted window or door change-out. Install a non-impact unit and the inspector red-tags it, which means a costly retrofit and a second permit. Cheap bids sometimes quietly leave the FL number off the paperwork. We don’t.
- Reused flashing tape and dried-out jamb seals. Contractors in a hurry pull the old window, slap the new one into the same opening, and reuse the original flashing. On Wellington’s stucco CBS homes, that’s a water-intrusion claim waiting to happen. We strip the opening, inspect the rough frame, and re-flash every jamb before the new unit goes in.
- Fogged seals on original aluminum frames. Most Wellington homes built before 2002 still have single-pane aluminum windows. Once the seal fails, you get condensation between the panes and a R-value that drops to almost nothing. The fix is full replacement, not glass repair, because the original frames were never engineered for impact-rated laminated glass.
- Oversized sliders that miss wind-load specs. Wellington’s equestrian estates on Palm Beach Polo and around Mallet Hill regularly have opening widths that standard residential units can’t cover. Spec a standard-width product and you fail both the county’s wind-load review and your HOA’s architectural board. We measure every opening twice and quote products actually rated for the span.
Pricing for Window Installation in Wellington, FL
Here are honest ranges for the Wellington market, based on standard impact-rated units with Florida Product Approval numbers. Casement windows run $650 to $1,400 per opening installed. Awning windows run $500 to $1,100. Fixed and picture windows run $600 to $1,800 depending on glass area and frame material. Single and double hung units run $550 to $1,300. Sliding windows run $600 to $1,600 for standard widths, and oversized sliders for equestrian estate openings can exceed $3,500 before you factor in custom engineering. These are installed prices including permit fees, flashing, and disposal.
Three things move the price: the product line you select, the condition of the rough opening, and whether the window is a standard or custom size. We quote all of that on paper before you sign. Call (561) 349-4826 for a free in-home estimate, and we’ll walk you through the numbers line by line.

FAQs - Window Installation in Wellington
A Florida Product Approval number passes inspection in Wellington. Palm Beach County sits in Florida’s wind-borne debris region, which mandates impact-rated products, but Wellington is not in the High Velocity Hurricane Zone that covers Miami-Dade and Broward counties. That HVHZ designation is what triggers the requirement for the pricier Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance. Specifying FL-approved units instead of NOA units can save thousands of dollars on a whole-home retrofit, and the permit still closes clean. Call (561) 349-4826 and we’ll show you the product approval numbers on any unit we quote.
Wellington’s original housing stock was built with single-pane aluminum-frame windows that predate Florida’s post-Andrew impact standards, and those windows are now 25 to 40 years old. Seals are failing, frames are corroding, and Palm Beach County now mandates impact-rated replacements on any permitted change-out. Hurricane Wilma’s 2005 track added urgency, too. Wilma’s atypical southwest-to-northeast path slammed inland western Palm Beach County harder than many coastal cities, which shattered the assumption that being 15 miles from the ocean meant reduced exposure. Wellington’s replacement market has been unusually large ever since. If your home still has originals, call (561) 349-4826 for a free assessment.
Replacement windows in Wellington must meet Palm Beach County’s 140-mph wind-load requirement and carry impact-rated glass with a valid Florida Product Approval number. The FL number is what the inspector verifies during the permit close-out. We pull permits on every job, file the product approvals with the permit package, and hand you the documentation when the inspection passes. A cheap install that skips the permit or the paperwork turns into a red tag and a retrofit.
On Wellington’s original single-pane aluminum windows, the answer is full replacement. Original frames from the 1980s and 1990s were not engineered for the laminated impact glass that code now requires, so replacing just the glass is not an option that passes inspection. In Olympia, we recently swapped fogged single-pane aluminum sliders in a 1990s CBS ranch for impact-rated double-hung units with low-E glass and argon fill. The existing flashing tape had dried and peeled, so we re-flashed every jamb and replaced the rotted sash before the county inspection. The job passed with the FL product approvals on file. Call (561) 349-4826 and we’ll tell you whether a repair will hold or replacement is the only square answer.
Documented impact-window installation can reduce your wind mitigation credits and lower your premium, but the insurance company needs the paperwork: the permit, the passed inspection, and the product approval numbers tied to the specific openings. We hand you that packet when the job closes. Wellington homeowners who bought houses with unpermitted window swaps often find the credits were never filed, which is why we encourage a permit-pulled, inspector-sign-off install even when the old window technically worked. For an exact quote on a code-compliant retrofit, call (561) 349-4826.
