AfterTrusted Impact Windows & Doors for Palm Beach Homeowners
Impact windows and doors in Palm Beach aren’t a luxury add-on. They’re the difference between a house that rides out a Category 3 storm and one that loses its roof to pressurization. TruePane Windows & Doors has installed, replaced, and serviced impact-rated openings across Palm Beach since 2008 through a heritage of craft that goes back to second-generation glazier Dale Kessler, who founded this company in 2008 out of a simple principle: out-of-true installs and voided warranties were problems worth fixing permanently. We carry impact-rated lines from PGT, CGI, Andersen, and Marvin, and every install is covered by a Done Right Promise. If the pane is not true, the job is not done. Call (850) 801-5596 for a free estimate.
A lot of Palm Beach homeowners learn the hard way that an impact opening is only as good as its installation. A window that meets Miami-Dade County HVHZ standards on paper still fails if the frame is racked, the sealant is skipped, or the anchor spacing is off by an inch. We register both manufacturer warranty layers in writing before the truck leaves your driveway, and we stake our name on the work for 90 days with no paperwork fights. That’s The Keystone Standard, and it governs every opening we touch.
What Our Impact Windows & Doors Service Includes
Hurricane Impact Windows
Hurricane impact windows are laminated glass units built to take a direct hit from wind-borne debris without shattering. In a Palm Beach storm, the glass may spider-web, but the inner PVB layer holds the pane together so no opening forms. TruePane measures every rough opening twice, quotes manufacturer lines side by side on paper, and installs to the manufacturer’s published load charts, not to whatever the sales rep remembers.
Impact Sliding Glass Doors
Impact sliding glass doors are among the largest openings in a Palm Beach home, and they’re also among the first to leak or bind when the track settles or the header sags. We see more binding sliders in older Palm Beach homes than any other failure, and most of it traces back to installation shortcuts taken years ago. TruePane replaces the entire unit with impact-rated frames and interlocks, then adjusts the rollers to dead-flat so the door glides the way it should.
Impact Entry & French Doors
Impact entry and French doors carry a heavier burden than windows because they’re used daily and abused seasonally. Salt air off the Atlantic works on hinges, thresholds, and weatherstripping year-round, and a door that binds in July is usually a door that’s been slowly moving out of plane for a decade. We install impact-rated entry and French doors with reinforced frames, multi-point locking, and thresholds that drain properly in a driving rain.
Impact Garage Doors
Impact garage doors are the one opening Palm Beach homeowners most often overlook, and they’re the leading cause of storm-related pressurization failures when they let go. A single-car garage door spans sixteen feet or more, and once the wind gets behind it, that surface area turns into a sail. TruePane installs code-rated impact garage doors with reinforced tracks, heavier springs, and bracing that meets current Palm Beach County wind-load requirements.
Hurricane Shutters & Protection
Hurricane shutters and protection systems, including roll-downs, accordions, and Bahama-style options, are often the right answer when full replacement windows aren’t in the budget this year. The trade-off is that shutters only work if someone is home to deploy them before the storm. TruePane installs and services code-compliant shutter systems so Palm Beach homeowners have a workable, tested layer of protection that local inspectors will pass.
Wind Mitigation & Code Compliance
Wind mitigation and code compliance work is the quiet part of the job that saves money on the back end. A properly documented wind mitigation inspection, completed after impact openings and roof attachments are verified, can reduce insurance premiums in Palm Beach by thousands over the life of a policy. We know what the inspectors check because we’ve been through hundreds of these in Palm Beach County, and we install so the paperwork lines up with the physical work.

Brands We Service for Impact Windows & Doors
We’re an authorized installer for more than a dozen manufacturer lines, including PGT, CGI, so we service what we sell and we know each manufacturer’s published installation requirements without having to call a rep. When a Palm Beach customer has a PGT WinGuard unit that needs a new seal or a CGI sliding door that needs a roller adjustment, our technicians pull the OEM spec sheet before they pull the first screw.
For homeowners considering narrower custom lines, we also install CWS and ES Windows impact-rated products, both of which carry strong Miami-Dade NOA approvals and work well in the older architectural styles common along the Palm Beach barrier island. Every brand we sell gets quoted side by side on paper, both warranty layers registered in writing before the truck leaves, and installed to a standard Dale Kessler set in 2008: if the pane is not true, the job is not done.
Signs You Need Impact Windows & Doors Right Now
- You can feel air moving around closed windows or doors. That is not just a comfort problem. An air leak means the seal or the frame has failed, and in a storm that same gap becomes a water and pressure entry point. We find these leaks with a smoke pencil and seal them or replace the unit.
- Your insurance company sent a wind mitigation notice. When an insurer asks for proof of impact protection, they’re giving you a deadline, not a suggestion. We install code-compliant impact openings and document the work so the inspection passes the first time.
- A sliding door or French door binds in the summer. Aluminum and vinyl move with heat, and Palm Beach summers push frames to their limits. A door that sticks in July usually has a racked frame or wasted rollers, and if it’s an impact door, the whole unit may need to come out before it fails when it matters.
- The glass shows fogging or condensation between the panes. That’s a seal failure, and once the argon or krypton fill is gone, the unit’s insulating value and impact performance are compromised. Palm Beach humidity makes this worse than inland. We replace failed IGUs and re-register the warranty.
- Your opening protection is old shutters that are rusted, stuck, or missing parts. A shutter that doesn’t deploy is worse than no shutter because it gives a false sense of protection. We repair and replace hurricane shutter systems so they work when the wind is actually blowing.
Our Impact Windows & Doors Process - Step by Step
- 1
Measure and document. We start by measuring every opening twice with a laser and a tape, checking for square, plumb, and level. Palm Beach homes built before the 1990s rarely have a perfectly square opening, and we document the as-built conditions before we specify anything. That’s the step that prevents change orders later.
- 2
Side-by-side quote on paper. We sit down with you and go over manufacturer lines side by side: PGT versus CGI, Marvin versus Andersen, with the structural ratings and warranty durations stated in writing. You see exactly what you’re buying, down to the frame alloy and the glass makeup. No verbal promises, no “trust me” pricing.
- 3
Removal and prep. On install day, our background-checked, uniformed technicians remove the old unit carefully and inspect the surrounding framing for rot, termite damage, or drywall rot that would compromise the new installation. If we find damage, we show you before we proceed. No buried surprises.
- 4
Install and register warranties. We set the new impact window or door to the manufacturer’s published load charts, anchor it per the NOA, seal it with commercial-grade sealant, and level the sashes and panels. Before the truck leaves your driveway, both manufacturer warranty layers are registered in writing with the durations stated. That’s The Keystone Standard.
- 5
Run the 90-day check. The Done Right Promise means that if anything about the installation is not right within three months, we make it right at no charge. No paperwork fights, no arguing, no fine print that covers neither. Most jobs are done in a single visit, and if a follow-up is needed, we’ll be there when we say.
How Much Does Impact Windows & Doors Cost in Palm Beach?
A typical impact window installation in Palm Beach runs $1,200 to $3,500 per opening depending on size, frame material, and the manufacturer line. Impact sliding glass doors run $4,000 to $9,000 installed, and impact entry or French doors typically land between $3,500 and $7,500. Impact garage doors add $2,500 to $5,500 depending on the width and whether the track and springs need reinforcement. Hurricane shutters run $25 to $45 per square foot installed for most Palm Beach applications.
What moves the price most in Palm Beach is the opening’s age and condition. Older homes on the barrier island frequently need reframing, threshold replacement, or header repair before a new impact unit can be set properly. We quote that work up front as part of the estimate, not as a change order later. The best way to avoid overpaying is to get a written line-item quote that shows the unit cost, the installation cost, and any structural work separately. Our free estimate includes all of it, with no obligation and no follow-up phone campaign. Call (850) 801-5596 to schedule yours.

Frequently Asked Questions - Impact Windows & Doors in Palm Beach
Impact windows and doors are openings built with laminated glass and reinforced frames designed to resist wind-borne debris and maintain the building envelope during a hurricane. The glass has a polyvinyl butyral interlayer that holds the pane together even when it cracks, so air and water don’t get inside. In Palm Beach, impact openings must meet Miami-Dade County HVHZ standards to count toward wind mitigation credits.
Most residential impact window and door replacements in Palm Beach are completed in one to two days, depending on the number of openings and whether structural repair work is needed. Manufacturer lead times for custom sizes typically run two to four weeks. We quote the timeline up front, and we’ll be there when we say.
Impact windows in Palm Beach generally run $1,200 to $3,500 per opening installed, with larger or custom units running higher. Sliding doors, French doors, and garage doors carry their own ranges, and we break them all out in a written line-item quote.
