AfterFast, Reliable Impact Windows & Doors Across West Palm Beach
Impact windows and doors in West Palm Beach typically run $900-$1,800 per opening installed, with full-home projects on 1950s CBS homes commonly landing between $18,000 and $45,000 depending on opening count, frame material, and whether Historic Preservation Board review applies. Most replacement work takes one to two days on site once units arrive, but lead times run eight to fourteen weeks for custom sizes and historic-district approvals. If you’re weighing impact-rated openings against another year of shutters and insurance surcharges, call (850) 801-5596 and we’ll walk through your exact house, your wind mitigation credits, and what this actually costs in West Palm Beach.
We work the Flamingo Park, El Cid, Northwood, and South End neighborhoods every week. Our crews know what a 1947 jalousie opening measures and what a 1980s aluminum single-hung frame does after forty years in salt air off the Lake Worth Lagoon. That local knowledge matters when the difference between a clean install and a failed wind mitigation inspection is an eighth of an inch in rough opening clearance.
Why TruePane Windows & Doors Is West Palm Beach’s Preferred Impact Windows & Doors Company
TruePane was founded in 2008 by second-generation glazier Dale Kessler, and we’ve spent the years since doing one thing: installing windows and doors that hold their line and hold their warranty. West Palm Beach homeowners call us because a live person answers the phone 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Not a voicemail tree, not a callback form. When a hurricane is tracking toward Palm Beach County and you need to know whether your openings will pass a wind mitigation re-inspection, you get a person.
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 the driveway. That’s The Keystone Standard, and it’s in writing on every job. The Done Right Promise sits behind it: if something isn’t right, we make it right. No paperwork fights, no arguing, no fine print that covers neither.
West Palm Beach’s housing stock runs from 1920s Mediterranean Revival bungalows to 1980s CBS ranches. The same impact unit that works inland in Greenacres may not clear the Historic Preservation Board in El Cid. We know which submittals get kicked back and which pass first review, because we’ve done this work on dozens of those streets.
Our Impact Windows & Doors Services in West Palm Beach
Hurricane Impact Windows
Hurricane impact windows in West Palm Beach must meet Florida Product Approval standards under the Florida Building Code wind provisions. The city does not require a Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance the way Miami-Dade and Broward do. But that does not make the choice casual. Palm Beach County design wind speeds along the coast reach 160-170 mph, and your insurer will ask hard questions about any opening that isn’t impact-rated. We install single-hung, casement, picture, and custom impact windows from PGT, CGI, and CWS, each quoted with frame material and glazing package laid out in writing.
In Flamingo Park, we replaced a 1947 CBS cottage’s original jalousie windows with impact-rated casement units carrying simulated divided lights and marine-grade hardware. The Historic Preservation Board rejected the first flat-profile submittal, so our team re-specified a slimmer jamb and narrower sightline that cleared both the HPB and the Florida Building Code in a single pass. The homeowner’s wind mitigation credits cut their Citizens premium by over $1,800 the following year. That’s the kind of outcome this neighborhood requires.
Impact Sliding Glass Doors
Impact sliding glass doors in West Palm Beach take a beating from salt air when the house sits east of Olive Avenue or along the Intracoastal. Aluminum frames pit and rollers seize within a few years if the hardware wasn’t specified marine-grade. We install impact-rated sliders with stainless steel rollers and heavy-duty tracks, and we verify existing rough opening clearances before ordering so the unit seats flush and the flashing seals clean. Most slider replacements run $2,800-$6,000 per door in this market, installed.
Impact Entry & French Doors
Impact entry and French doors in West Palm Beach carry the same code requirements as windows, plus a heavier hardware load. A 72-inch impact French door with transom runs $6,000-$12,000 installed depending on swing configuration, glass package, and whether the surrounding wall is masonry or frame. We quote the door, the hardware, the threshold, and the flashing as one line item. No surprise line items on the bill. If the rough opening needs minor structural adjustment, that’s agreed on before the order goes in.
Impact Garage Doors
Impact garage doors in West Palm Beach protect the largest opening on most houses and the one most likely to blow in during a storm. A double-wide impact-rated garage door with a wind-loaded track system runs $3,500-$8,000 installed in Palm Beach County. We work with local wind mitigation inspectors so the door, track, and header all pass the same inspection as your windows. If your current door is pre-1994, it is almost certainly failing the current wind load requirements.
Wind Mitigation & Code Compliance
Wind mitigation and code compliance is the conversation underneath every window and door job in West Palm Beach. The county’s homeowners insurance crisis has not eased. Major carriers have exited the Palm Beach County market or priced policies prohibitively for homes lacking wind mitigation credits. That means every impact-rated opening you install is simultaneously a code compliance item and an insurance premium reduction tool. We provide the documentation your inspector and insurer need: product approvals, installation records, and the written warranty registrations required under The Keystone Standard.

We stock common replacement parts for these brands and keep manufacturer reps on speed dial for warranty claims. When you call, we can tell you on the spot whether your existing window line is still in production or whether a full replacement is the smarter spend.
Common Impact Windows & Doors Problems We See in West Palm Beach Homes
- Salt-air frame pitting and seized hardware. Homes east of I-95 and along the Lake Worth Lagoon sit in a corrosion zone. Aluminum frames without marine-grade finishes pit, and roller assemblies inside sliding doors seize until the door won’t move without a shoulder against it. We pre-specify marine-grade hardware for any home within a mile of the water.
- Historic district flat-profile rejections. In Flamingo Park and El Cid, the West Palm Beach Historic Preservation Board routinely rejects impact windows with flat-profile frames as incompatible with the Mediterranean Revival and bungalow streetscapes. That mid-permit rejection stalls the job and forces a reorder with simulated divided lights, adding eight to twelve weeks to lead time. We pre-specify HPB-compliant sightlines on the first submittal.
- Rough opening clearance gaps. Impact units are deeper than standard single-pane aluminum frames. If the contractor doesn’t verify the existing rough opening for flush-mount clearance, the unit won’t seat and flashing tape can’t seal the gap. The wind mitigation inspector fails it. We measure every opening twice before ordering.
- Pre-1994 openings failing wind load. Any window or door installed before the post-Hurricane Andrew code changes is almost certainly undersized for current Palm Beach County wind loads. The glazing may be intact but the frame, the attachment method, and the anchoring are not. This is the number one reason a wind mitigation inspection comes back negative on older West Palm Beach homes.

FAQs - Impact Windows & Doors in West Palm Beach
West Palm Beach homes need Florida Product Approval only. The city enforces the Florida Building Code wind provisions, not the High-Velocity Hurricane Zone rules that govern Miami-Dade and Broward, so a Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance is not required. That said, most insurers in Palm Beach County accept Florida Product Approval without issue, and the wind mitigation credit calculation is what actually moves your premium. Call (850) 801-5596 and we’ll tell you exactly what your specific units need to pass inspection here.
Yes. Any window or door replacement in the Flamingo Park and El Cid historic districts must clear the West Palm Beach Historic Preservation Board before permits are issued. The HPB routinely rejects impact units with flat-profile frames as incompatible with the district’s Mediterranean Revival and bungalow character. The workaround is impact-rated windows with simulated divided lights and narrower sightlines, submitted once with both HPB and Florida Building Code compliance documented. We do that pre-specification work up front so the permit doesn’t stall. Call (850) 801-5596 and we can tell you whether your house falls within the historic district boundary.
Living near the Lake Worth Lagoon or the Intracoastal puts your windows in a salt-air corrosion zone that degrades standard aluminum frames and hardware within a few years. Frames pit, seal welds fail, and roller assemblies seize. The fix is marine-grade hardware and finishes specified at order time, which costs more up front but prevents a full hardware replacement five years in. We make that call for any home within a mile of the water. Call (850) 801-5596 to discuss what the salt air is already doing to your existing frames.
Impact windows in West Palm Beach run longer lead times than the installation because every unit is made to order, and historic district approvals can add eight to twelve weeks on top of the six to ten week manufacturing window. The install itself takes one to two days for most homes. The calendar is set by the order queue and the HPB review, not by labor. We fix your price in writing before ordering, so the lead time doesn’t change the bill. Call (850) 801-5596 and we’ll give you a realistic timeline for your specific openings.
Yes. Impact windows with proper wind mitigation documentation are the single most effective way to reduce a Citizens or private insurance premium in West Palm Beach. The wind mitigation credit is calculated from a Uniform Mitigation Verification Inspection form, and impact-rated openings earn points that directly lower the wind portion of your premium. The homeowner in Flamingo Park whose jalousie windows we replaced saw their Citizens premium drop by over $1,800 the following year. Call (850) 801-5596 and we’ll explain what documentation you’ll receive and what your inspector will ask for.
