Window Replacement in Wellington - Free In-Home Measure, Written Price

Trusted Window Replacement for Wellington Homeowners

Window replacement in Wellington, FL, typically costs between $600 and $1,800 per window installed, depending on the frame material, glass package, and whether you choose a full-frame or insert installation. Most single-home projects run $7,000 to $22,000, and TruePane Windows & Doors provides a written, line-item quote before any work begins.

We’ve been setting windows in this community since 2008, and Dale Kessler’s glazing craft goes back further than that, years of trade tradition now serving families across Wellington, Royal Palm Beach, and the western communities. A live person answers our phone 24/7 at (561) 349-4826. When a Wellington homeowner calls with a fogged seal or a window that won’t square up, they get a straight answer and a scheduled visit, not a call center script.

What Our Window Replacement Service Includes

TruePane handles the full range of window replacement work Wellington homes require, from straightforward insert swaps to full frame rebuilds on older block-construction houses. Here’s what each service involves and when it applies.

Full Frame Replacement

Full frame replacement means removing the entire existing window, including the frame, sill, and exterior trim, then setting a complete new unit in the opening. You need this when the wood around the window has rotted, the rough opening is out of square, or the old frame was never flashed correctly. In Wellington’s summer humidity and afternoon storm cycles, improperly flashed rough openings are the number one source of hidden wall damage we find behind old windows. TruePane measures every opening twice, shims and squares each unit to within 1/16 inch, and replaces rotted or damaged rough opening lumber before the new window goes in.

Insert Window Replacement

An insert replacement, sometimes called a pocket window, fits a new sash and frame inside the existing frame. This is the right choice when the original frame is solid, square, and free of rot. It costs less than a full frame replacement and preserves the home’s interior and exterior trim. In Wellington neighborhoods like Olympia, Paddock Park, and Sugar Pond Manor, many homes built in the 1990s and 2000s still have frames in good condition, which makes inserts a practical, lower-cost option. TruePane follows manufacturer installation specifications to the letter, because insert windows can leak air if a contractor skips the insulation or fails to level the sill pan.

Storm Window Replacement

Wellington sits in a high-velocity hurricane zone, and storm window replacement here means more than swapping a pane. The glass must meet Florida Building Code impact standards, and the installation must hold under wind loads that lift standard windows right out of their tracks. TruePane is an authorized installer for impact-rated lines including PGT, CGI, and ES Windows, all of which carry Miami-Dade or Florida Product Approval. We pull permits when Wellington requires them, and we schedule the inspection, so the homeowner never has to chase the building department. When the next named storm tracks toward Palm Beach County, the windows should be the last thing on your list.

Energy-Efficient Upgrade

An energy-efficient window replacement targets heat gain and air infiltration, the two things that drive cooling bills up in Wellington from May through October. Low-E glass, argon gas fills, and warm-edge spacers work together to keep afternoon heat out and conditioned air in. A typical Wellington home built before 2000 can see a 12 to 18 percent reduction in window-related cooling loss after a full upgrade to double-pane, Low-E units. We quote manufacturer lines side by side on paper, including the glass package details, the U-factor, the solar heat gain coefficient, and the warranty, so you can compare actual performance numbers rather than marketing language.

Historic Window Restoration

For older Wellington homes, particularly ranch styles and early Florida vernacular from the 1970s and 1980s, full restoration can preserve character that replacement would erase. This means rebuilding sash frames, replacing counterweights or balances, reglazing individual panes, and restoring original millwork. It is slower than a swap and it costs more in labor, but for the right house it is the difference between a home with history and a house with a new plastic face. Dale Kessler learned glazing on jobs exactly like these, and TruePane still does the work in-house rather than subbing it to a trim carpenter who has never set a pane.

Brands We Service for Window Replacement

TruePane is an authorized installer for more than a dozen manufacturer lines, and our technicians work on the brands Wellington homeowners actually have in their houses. Andersen: we have set hundreds of Andersen 400 Series and E-Series units across Palm Beach County, and we understand the difference between their woodwright and Perma-Shield lines well enough to quote you an honest comparison. Pella: our crew has replaced and serviced Pella casements, awnings, and double-hungs in neighborhoods from Wellington to West Palm Beach, and we know how their SmartSun glass options perform under Florida sun.

We also service Marvin and Milgard windows and doors, including Marvin Ultimate and Milgard Tuscany and Montecito Series units. Whatever brand you have, we can quote it, order it, and set it. And if the brand on your old window is no longer made, we will match the replacement as closely as physically possible and tell you plainly when an exact match is not available. We don’t sell you a line we don’t believe belongs in your house.

Signs You Need Window Replacement Right Now

Some windows are failing long before they actually fall out. Here are the signs we tell Wellington homeowners to look for.

• Fog between the panes. A cloudy window means the seal has failed and the insulating gas has escaped. The glass will never clear again. In Wellington’s humid climate, a failed seal also invites interior condensation, which leads to mold on the sash and visible streaks on the glass.
• Windows that bind or stick. A wood sash that swells and jams in July is telling you the frame has absorbed years of humidity. Forcing it open and closed worsens the problem and can crack the glass. A window you cannot open is also an egress problem in a fire.
• Visible daylight around the sash. If you can stand inside the house and see light around the edges of a closed and locked window, the weatherstripping has failed or the sash is racked out of square. That gap is where your cooling budget leaks out all summer.
• Soft or crumbling wood around the frame. Press a flathead screwdriver gently into the sill or the bottom rail. If it sinks in easily, rot has set in. In Wellington, where afternoon thunderstorms produce quick downpours, rotted window sills are the leading sign that water has been finding its way into the wall for years.
• Single-pane glass throughout the home. If your windows are original to a house built in the 1980s or earlier, you are running single-pane glass in a climate that punishes it. The heat intrusion alone can run your AC hundreds of extra dollars a year. A full replacement to impact-rated double-pane units addresses both energy loss and storm protection.

Our Window Replacement Process - Step by Step

We follow the same five steps on every window replacement in Wellington, from a single insert to a whole-house full frame job.

1. 1
   The phone call and the facts. You call (561) 349-4826 and a person answers. We ask about the age of the house, the number of windows, the problems you have noticed, and whether you have ever had a glass failure. We schedule a visit at a time that works for you, not a four-hour window.
2. 2
   The in-person measurement. A uniformed, background-checked technician arrives and measures every opening twice, once with a tape for the physical dimensions and once with a level to check the square. We photograph the existing windows, note the brand, and look for water staining around the sills and headers. We also check the rough opening from the inside and outside when an old window is coming out.
3. 3
   The written quote. You get a line-item quote on paper. It shows every window opening, the exact unit we propose, the glass package, the finish, and the labor. Manufacturer lines are quoted side by side so you can see the price difference between Andersen and PGT, or Pella and Milgard. Nothing is verbal and nothing changes without a signed change order.
4. 4
   Installation day. We arrive on time. We protect the interior floor with drop cloths, remove the existing window carefully, inspect the rough opening for hidden rot or damage, and set the new unit level and square. Flashing goes on in a specific sequence. Exterior trim is replaced where needed. The work area is cleaned up before we leave.
5. 5
   The Keystone Standard walkthrough. Before our truck leaves the driveway, we register both warranty layers in writing and hand you the confirmation. We walk each window with you, show you how it operates, and explain the Done Right Promise. If anything is not done right, we come back and make it right, no paperwork fight and no fine print that covers neither of us.

Frequently Asked Questions - Window Replacement in Wellington

What is window replacement?

Window replacement is the process of removing an old window unit and installing a new one in its place. It can mean either an insert replacement that fits inside the existing frame, or a full frame replacement that removes the old frame entirely and sets a complete new unit into the rough opening. TruePane handles both methods and tells you honestly which one your Wellington home actually needs before quoting a price.

How long does window replacement take?

A single insert window replacement typically takes two to four hours on site, including cleanup. A full frame replacement usually takes four to six hours per window because it involves removing the old frame and re-flashing the opening. A whole-house project on a Wellington home often takes two to four working days, depending on the number of windows and the condition of the openings. Our written quote includes a schedule, and we show up when we say we will.

How much does window replacement cost in Wellington?

Insert window replacement in Wellington generally costs $600 to $1,200 per window, and full frame replacement runs $900 to $1,800 per opening. Impact-rated glass, required in much of this area, adds to the price. Call (561) 349-4826 and we will schedule a free in-person estimate with a line-item written quote, not a phone ballpark.

Do you service Andersen windows?

Yes. TruePane is an authorized installer for, and our technicians have set and serviced hundreds of units across Palm Beach County, including 400 Series, E-Series, and older lines that need replacement parts. We also service Pella, Marvin, Milgard, PGT, CGI, ES Windows, and more than a dozen other manufacturers. If you have a brand not listed here, call us, we will tell you plainly what we can do with it.

Are you available for emergency window replacement?

A live person answers our phone 24 hours a day, 7 days a week at (561) 349-4826. If a window has been broken by a storm branch, a ball, or a break-in attempt, call us any hour and we will get a technician scheduled to secure the opening. Nobody should sleep in a Wellington house with an open window and a tarp flapping, and we treat that call with urgency.

What warranty comes with a TruePane window replacement?

Every TruePane window replacement is covered by The Keystone Standard, which means both manufacturer warranty layers, on the glass and on the frame, are registered in writing before our truck leaves your driveway. We also include a Done Right Promise, our own workmanship guarantee. If we did not do it right, we come back and make it right, no arguing and no fine print that covers neither of us.

How should I prepare my home for window replacement?

Clear the interior space around each window enough for a technician to work without moving furniture, and remove curtains or blinds if possible. Move any fragile items off nearby shelves. On installation day, keep children and pets out of the work area for safety. Our crew covers the floor and cleans up after each window, so most Wellington homeowners find the preparation takes less than thirty minutes.
