Fast, Reliable Impact Windows & Doors Across Palm Beach
Impact windows and doors in Palm Beach have to do two jobs at once: they need to pass Florida’s wind-borne debris code, and they need to clear the town’s Architectural Commission design review. Most companies know how to handle one of those. Few handle both. TruePane Windows & Doors has been doing exactly that for Palm Beach homeowners for years, and we’ll be there when we say. If you’re pricing impact windows, impact doors, or a full opening replacement on the island, call (850) 801-5596 for a free estimate and a straight answer about what your house actually requires.
Why TruePane Windows & Doors Is Palm Beach’s Preferred Impact Windows & Doors Company
Dale Kessler founded TruePane in 2008 on a rule that still governs every install we do: if the pane is not true, the job is not done. That matters on this island more than most places, because a window that’s out of true by a quarter inch will bind against a 1920s stone surround and fail the moment a building inspector or an ARCOM reviewer looks at it. Our Impact Windows & Doors team measures every opening twice, quotes manufacturer lines side by side on paper, and registers both warranty layers in writing before the truck leaves the driveway. We show up in uniform, background-checked technicians who work in your home the way they’d work in their own mother’s. A live person answers the phone 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. No voicemail tree, no callback form, no regional call center.
Our Palm Beach customers tend to be people who have lived in their homes for twenty or thirty years and plan to stay another twenty. They’ve been burned before, usually by a contractor who installed a standard catalog unit on a custom stone opening and walked away. We hear those stories often enough that we’ve built our entire Palm Beach process around preventing them. The Keystone Standard means both manufacturer warranty layers get registered in writing, with durations stated, before we leave. The Done Right Promise means if something isn’t right, we make it right. No paperwork fights, no arguing.
Our Impact Windows & Doors Services in Palm Beach
Hurricane Impact Windows
Hurricane impact windows for a Palm Beach home usually need to carry a Florida Product Approval for wind-borne debris, and on the island they also need to satisfy the Architectural Commission’s design review if the house falls under ARCOM’s jurisdiction. That means no off-the-shelf catalog units on the pre-war estates. We work with CWS and ES Windows to custom-fabricate impact-rated units that match the original rough-opening geometry and the original sightlines. For oceanfront and Intracoastal-facing homes, we spec marine-grade hardware and stainless steel fasteners as standard, because salt air from both the Atlantic and the Lake Worth Lagoon will eat standard aluminum hardware in three to five years.

Impact Sliding Glass Doors
Palm Beach’s oceanfront architecture leans heavily on large-format glass, which means the sliding door is often the largest opening in the house and the one most exposed to wind-driven rain. A properly installed impact sliding door on this island sits on a flashed sill pan sloped to drain outward, with stainless steel rollers and a track that won’t seize in salt air. In the Estate Section and along South Ocean Boulevard, we see older sliding doors that were installed without proper sill flashing, and the result is rotted wood bucks behind the stone surrounds and a warranty the manufacturer won’t honor. We fix that properly, with the permit and the inspection.

Impact Entry & French Doors
The entry doors on Palm Beach’s Mizner-era estates are often original 1920s arched openings with cast-stone surrounds that cannot be modified. You can’t swap in a rectangular door from a catalog and expect it to pass ARCOM review, and you shouldn’t settle for a compromised installation that leaves the opening vulnerable in a named storm. We custom-fabricate impact-rated entry doors to match the existing arch geometry exactly, clear the design review, and pull the town permit before the first screw goes in. Our crews have done this on Intracoastal-facing streets in the Estate Section where the stone surround’s radius was irregular by less than an eighth of an inch. It’s slow work. It’s also the only way to do it right.

Impact Garage Doors
An impact garage door on a Palm Beach home has to resist wind pressure from both the Atlantic and the Intracoastal, and the hardware has to survive salt air that inland homes never deal with. We install impact-rated garage doors with stainless steel tracks, reinforced bracing, and marine-grade hinges, and we check the opening’s surrounding framing for corrosion before we hang anything on it. Most Palm Beach garage door failures we see aren’t the door itself, they’re the hardware behind it. We fix the whole opening, not just the panel.

Trusted Brands We Service in Palm Beach
TruePane is an authorized installer for more than a dozen manufacturer lines, including, PGT, CGI, and ES Windows. For Palm Beach specifically, we work frequently with CWS, ES Windows because those manufacturers offer the custom fabrication and marine-grade hardware this island requires. Because we install these lines week in and week out from Palm Beach to West Palm Beach, we keep a local parts inventory for the most common failure points: stainless steel hinges, marine-grade weatherstripping, and impact-rated sashes. That means faster turnaround when a Palm Beach customer calls with a failed seal or a seized door.
Common Impact Windows & Doors Problems We See in Palm Beach Homes
- Salt-air corrosion of standard aluminum frames. Palm Beach sits on a barrier island less than half a mile wide, with the Atlantic on one side and the Intracoastal on the other. Standard aluminum frames and hardware degrade measurably faster here than inland. Within three to five years, we see jamb seizure and doors that won’t operate, and the fix is marine-grade hardware and stainless steel fasteners, not a bigger hammer.
- Improperly flashed sill pans on arched openings. Wind-driven rain gets behind stone surrounds when the sill pan isn’t flashed correctly, and that rots the original wood bucks behind the masonry. A cheap quote skips this step entirely. A compliant quote includes it in writing.
- Unpermitted impact installations that skip ARCOM review. Palm Beach code enforcement can order a non-compliant impact installation removed, which means the homeowner pays twice and spends hurricane season unprotected. We’ve seen it happen more than once. It’s expensive, it’s avoidable, and it’s why we pull every permit and clear every design review before work starts.
- Catalog units forced into Mizner-era openings. Standard impact windows come in standard sizes, and 1920s Mediterranean Revival estates don’t have standard openings. When a contractor forces a catalog unit in, the reveal looks wrong, the seal fails early, and ARCOM notices. Palm Beach requires custom fabrication on virtually every pre-war opening. We build to the opening, not the other way around.
Pricing for Impact Windows & Doors in Palm Beach, FL
Here are honest numbers for Palm Beach’s market. A standard impact window replacement on a non-historic home runs $850 to $1,400 per opening installed, depending on size and manufacturer. Custom impact windows fabricated for Mizner-era arched openings run $1,800 to $3,200 per opening, and that includes the ARCOM design review package and permit. Impact sliding glass doors range from $3,500 for a standard 72-inch unit to $7,000 or more for large-format oceanfront glazing. A custom arched impact entry door matching original stone surrounds starts around $5,500 and can exceed $12,000 with marine-grade hardware and a full historic review. Impact garage doors run $3,000 to $5,800 depending on width and bracing requirements. Every quote is line-item, in writing, with no surprise charges on the bill. Call (850) 801-5596 for a free estimate and we’ll put exact numbers in front of you.
Wind Mitigation & Code Compliance in Palm Beach
Every impact window and door replacement in Palm Beach must pass both Florida Product Approval for wind-borne debris and the town’s Architectural Commission (ARCOM) design review. That’s a dual-compliance burden no neighboring municipality enforces with comparable rigor, and it’s the single biggest reason a Palm Beach quote looks different from a West Palm Beach quote. A compliant quote includes the ARCOM submission package with elevation drawings and product cut sheets, the town permit, the wind-load calculations for your specific exposure category, and the final inspection. A cheap quote leaves all of that out and hopes nobody asks. Then a code enforcement officer shows up, or an insurance adjuster asks for the documentation, and the homeowner learns what the lower number actually bought. We don’t work that way. The permit, the review, and the paperwork are part of the job, not an add-on.
On an Intracoastal-facing street in the Estate Section, our crew replaced a failing 1920s arched entry door with a custom ViewLux impact-rated steel door fabricated to match the original stone surround’s exact radius. After clearing ARCOM’s historic review and pulling the town permit, we installed the unit with marine-grade hardware and stainless steel hinges, then passed the final wind-load inspection two days before a named storm made landfall. That’s the kind of timeline Palm Beach projects run on, and it’s why we tell homeowners to start the conversation early, especially before hurricane season. A documented, compliant impact installation is the kind of thing insurance underwriters actually read, and it’s the kind of thing that protects your house when a storm tracks toward the island.

FAQs - Impact Windows & Doors in Palm Beach
An oceanfront Palm Beach home must meet Florida Product Approval for large-missile impact per TAS 201/202/203 protocols, which simulates wind-borne debris at design wind speeds for the Atlantic exposure zone. Specifically, oceanfront structures within one mile of the coast require units tested to large-missile D impact ratings, with design pressures typically in the ±50 to ±70 psf range depending on the home’s exact elevation and exposure. TruePane will show you the product approval documents for every unit we quote, side by side, before you sign anything. Call (850) 801-5596 and we’ll explain exactly which rating applies to your home.
No, not every property, but far more than homeowners expect. ARCOM reviews apply to all properties within the town’s historic districts and to any individually landmarked property, which covers a significant portion of the island’s pre-war housing stock. Properties outside those boundaries still require Florida Product Approval compliance and a town permit, but may not face the same design review. If your Palm Beach home has arched stone surrounds, custom cast-stone details, or Mediterranean Revival features, assume ARCOM will be involved until we confirm otherwise. We’ll check the property’s status before we write the quote, and we’ll include the review package if it’s required.
Yes, in most cases, and the documentation is what triggers it. Insurers in Florida apply wind-mitigation credits for impact-rated openings, and in Palm Beach those credits can be substantial because the exposure is so high. The key is submitting the proper documentation: the Florida Product Approval, the permit, the final inspection report, and the manufacturer warranty registration. A properly completed wind mitigation form (the OIR-B1-1802) with all four of those attached is what gets the credit applied. We provide every customer with the full document package after final inspection. It’s part of the job, not an upsell.
For a non-historic Palm Beach home, a typical impact window replacement takes three to five days for fabrication and one to two days on site for installation, after the permit is issued. For a Mizner-era or landmarked property requiring ARCOM design review, the approvals add four to eight weeks to the front end, and fabrication takes another two to three weeks after approval. The full timeline from signed contract to final inspection on a historic Palm Beach project is commonly eight to twelve weeks. Start early, especially before hurricane season, because the review board meets on a schedule that doesn’t care about your closing date. Call
On a Palm Beach barrier island property, any impact window or door within a half mile of the ocean or the Intracoastal needs 316 stainless steel hinges, screws, and fasteners, plus marine-grade weatherstripping and corrosion-resistant aluminum or stainless steel frames. Standard 304 stainless and zinc-plated hardware will corrode and seize within three to five years from the simultaneous Atlantic and Intracoastal exposure. We spec 316 stainless as standard on every Palm Beach oceanfront and Intracoastal-facing install, because replacing hardware two years after a “budget” install costs more than using the right parts the first time.

What Palm Beach Customers Say
Trusted by homeowners across Palm Beach and surrounding areas.
"A casement crank had stripped and the sash was swollen shut. The technician, Ray, fixed the crank on the spot and only then talked about replacement for the three windows that were genuinely done. That is why the whole street uses them now."
"Quote was the price, which after three other bids that grew legs was worth something. Double-hungs went in clean, they hauled the old ones, and the registration paperwork for the warranty came in the mail like they said."
"Energy bill was the reason we called. They did not oversell - said the two worst walls of windows would do most of the work and we could stop there. Did those eight with the Low-E glass. August electric bill tells the story."
