AfterTrusted Window Installation for Palm Beach Homeowners
Window installation in Palm Beach is not a simple swap. Between the salt air, the summer humidity, and hurricane season, a window carries a load here that it never would in Ohio or even Orlando. A fogged seal in a six-year-old unit is not an accident. It’s what happens when a window is set out of square and the frame fights the glass through every thermal cycle. TruePane Windows & Doors fixes that on the first visit. We’re led by Dale Kessler, a second-generation glazier, and we’ve served Palm Beach homeowners since 2008. If you need a reliable window installation in Palm Beach, call (850) 801-5596 and a live person answers, day or night.
What Our Window Installation Service Includes
Every window we install in Palm Beach starts with the same rule Dale keeps on the whiteboard: if the pane is not true, the job is not done. That means the opening gets measured twice, the manufacturer’s instructions get followed to the letter, and both warranty layers get registered in writing before our truck leaves your driveway. Here is how that plays out across each window style.
Casement Windows
Casement windows hinge at the side and crank outward, which makes them a favorite in Palm Beach for cross-breezes and tight sealing. When they’re installed correctly, the sash closes against the frame with even pressure all the way around, and that’s what keeps the humidity out. TruePane sets casements on shims at the hinge points and the lock rail, never just the corners, so the crank operates smooth ten years from now, not stiff by October.
Awning Windows
Awning windows hinge at the top and open outward from the bottom, so they shed rain while still letting air move. That matters in Palm Beach, where an afternoon storm can roll through while you’re trying to keep the kitchen from going stale. We install awning windows with the frame flashed and sealed along the top hinge edge, because that’s where water sits if the installer rushed the flashing.
Fixed & Picture Windows
A fixed window doesn’t open, so it lives or dies by the seal and the square. A fixed unit set even slightly twisted will build stress at the corners of the glass, and that’s how you end up with a fogged seal and a view you can’t see. TruePane sets picture windows with a level on the frame, not the sash, and we check the reveal on all four sides before the trim goes on.
Single & Double Hung
Single and double hung windows slide vertically, and in Palm Beach they need to do it without rattling in the wind or jamming when the humidity swells the wood. We install hung windows with the side jambs plumb and the meeting rails level, then balance the sashes so they stay where you put them. A hung window that drifts closed on its own is usually an install problem, not a product problem.
Sliding Windows
Sliding windows move horizontally and are common in older Palm Beach homes where the original openings were wide and low. The track has to be dead level and the rollers adjusted so the sash doesn’t drag on one side. TruePane beds the track in sealant and sets the rollers to ride even, because a slider that needs two hands to open was installed by someone who measured once.
Bay & Bow Windows
Bay and bow windows project outward and create a shelf of glass, which means the structural framing underneath matters as much as the glass itself. In Palm Beach, that projection also catches wind from every angle. We install bay and bow units with a cantilevered support system that ties back into the floor joists, and we insulate the seat board so the room doesn’t lose its cool through the floor of the window.

Brands We Service for Window Installation
We’re an authorized installer for more than a dozen manufacturer lines, which means we quote side by side on paper so you can see exactly what you’re buying and what each warranty actually covers. CWS and ES Windows are both impact-rated lines we install regularly in Palm Beach, and we know their frame profiles and anchoring requirements without opening the manual twice. ECO Window Systems makes a thermally broken aluminum frame that holds up well against coastal corrosion, and we’ve set enough of them to know exactly where the weep holes need to land in a Palm Beach opening.
ViewLux is another line we work with, particularly for homeowners who want a slimmer frame with a wider glass area. Whatever brand you have or want, the installation standard doesn’t change at TruePane. The opening gets measured twice, the frame gets shimmed at the load points called for by that manufacturer, and the warranty gets registered in writing before the truck leaves the driveway. If you have a brand we don’t list, call (850) 801-5596 and ask. Odds are the answer is yes.
Signs You Need Window Installation Right Now
- Condensation between the panes. That fog means the seal has failed and the insulating gas has escaped. The window still looks fine from across the room, but it’s doing nothing for your power bill and you can’t get the view back without replacing the glass or the whole sash.
- A door or window that binds in July. When the humidity rises and the frame swells, a window that was set out of square binds at the corners. You’ll feel it in the crank or the sash. That’s not the window complaining about the weather. That’s an install error showing itself.
- Drafts you can feel with your hand. Walk the perimeter of the house on a windy day and hold your palm near the frame corners. Air moving around a closed, locked window means the weather seal isn’t compressing evenly, and the fix is usually a proper reinstallation, not another tube of caulk.
- Crank handles that grind or slip. Casement and awning operators wear out fast when the sash hinge points are misaligned. The hardware is fighting the frame on every turn, and no amount of lubricant fixes geometry. A new operator on a square install turns with two fingers.
- Windows you have to lift, shove, or prop open. A hung window should stay where you put it, and a slider should move with one hand. If you’ve got a stick propping something open in a Palm Beach home, the balance system or the track is past saving and the replacement needs to be set properly this time.
Our Window Installation Process - Step by Step
- 1
Measure the opening, not the old window. A lot of installs fail because someone measured the existing frame and assumed it was square. We measure the rough opening at the sill, the header, and both jambs, then we check for level and plumb with a four-foot bubble and a laser. If the opening is out by more than a sixteenth, we account for it before the first shim goes in.
- 2
Quote the job on paper, side by side. You’ll see the manufacturer lines we recommend, the warranty coverage for each, and the total price before any work starts. There are no surprise line items on a TruePane bill. We write it down, and we stand behind it.
- 3
Set the window with shims at the load points. Every manufacturer has specific shim locations, and we follow them to the letter. Shims go under the hinge points, at the lock rails, and where the frame bears weight. We don’t shim the corners and call it done, because corners are where frames twist when they carry load for years.
- 4
Flash, seal, and insulate the full perimeter. In Palm Beach, the flashing job matters as much as the glass. We use the manufacturer-approved flashing tape and sealant, and we insulate the gap around the frame with backer rod and low-expansion foam that won’t bow the jambs. Water gets one path out, and it’s not through your wall.
- 5
Register both warranty layers in writing and walk the job with you. Before the truck leaves your driveway, we register the manufacturer warranty and our Done Right Promise in writing, with the durations stated. Then we operate every window with you standing there. If the pane is not true, the job is not done, and we don’t leave until it is.
How Much Does Window Installation Cost in Palm Beach?
Window installation in Palm Beach typically runs $300 to $900 per window for labor plus the cost of the window itself, which varies widely by brand and impact rating. A single fixed picture window might land around $600 to $1,100 all in, while a hurricane-rated casement from ES Windows or CWS often runs $1,400 to $2,800 with installation. Bay and bow installs are structural projects and start closer to $3,500 and go up depending on framing, glazing, and support work. These are Palm Beach numbers, not national averages, and they exist because our pricing reflects the actual conditions here: salt air, wind load, and code requirements that change from one block to the next.
What moves the price is the opening condition, the frame material, the glass package, and whether the existing flashing and water barrier are reusable. If the rough opening is rotted or out of square, the repair work adds material and a second set of hands. You avoid overpaying by getting a quote that names the manufacturer line, the glass package, and the warranty durations in writing before you sign. That’s exactly what we do. A free estimate from TruePane includes measurements, a written line-item quote, and no pressure to decide on the spot. Call (850) 801-5596 and ask for Dale or one of his senior installers.

Frequently Asked Questions - Window Installation in Palm Beach
Window installation means removing an old window and setting a new one into the rough opening so it’s level, plumb, square, and sealed against water and air. In Palm Beach, that also means meeting the wind load and impact requirements for your specific zone. TruePane installs the full range: casement, awning, fixed, single and double hung, sliding, bay and bow, plus garden and basement windows, and every install is covered by our Done Right Promise. Call (850) 801-5596 for a free estimate and a written quote.
Most single-window replacements in Palm Beach take one to three hours on site, including removal, prep, setting, flashing, trim, and cleanup. A whole-house package of ten or twelve windows typically takes two to three days depending on second-story access and the condition of the openings. Bay and bow installations are structural and can run three to five days with framing and finishing. We’ll give you a straight answer on timing when we measure, and we’ll be there when we say we will.
Plan on $300 to $900 per window for labor, with total costs for a typical replacement running $800 to $2,800 depending on the brand, glass package, and whether the window is impact rated. Whole-house projects of ten windows or more usually land between $10,000 and $28,000 in Palm Beach. The only way to get a real number for your openings is to have them measured, which we do free of charge. Call (850) 801-5596 and we’ll put the quote in writing.
Yes. TruePane is an authorized installer for all three lines, along with, PGT, CGI among others.

Call (850) 801-5596.
If a window is broken or a frame is compromised and the opening is exposed to weather or entry, a live person answers our phone 24 hours a day, seven days a week. We can often get a board-up or a stopgap measure in place the same day in Palm Beach, then schedule the proper installation once the opening is protected. For a true emergency, the safety of your home comes first, and a trained installer is the right call. Call (850) 801-5596 and tell whoever answers what happened.
Every TruePane install carries two layers of warranty: the manufacturer’s warranty on the window and glass, and our Done Right Promise on the workmanship. We register both warranty layers in writing before the truck leaves the driveway, and we state the durations plainly so there’s no guessing later. If something isn’t done right, we make it right, no paperwork fights and no arguing. That’s The Keystone Standard, and it’s in writing on every job.
Clear the area inside and outside each window about six feet back so the crew has room to work, and take down window treatments, blinds, or curtains before we arrive. Move anything fragile off nearby shelves or wall space, since removing an old frame can send vibration through the wall. We’ll handle floor protection and cleanup on our end, and we’ll walk each window with you before we leave. Call (850) 801-5596 if you have a specific question about your setup.
