Window Replacement in Palm Beach - Free In-Home Measure, Written Price

Trusted Window Replacement for Palm Beach Homeowners

Window replacement in Palm Beach is not a cosmetic decision. It’s a structural one. Salt air off the Atlantic works on frames and hardware year round, and by the time a homeowner notices the fogged glass or the sticking sash, the window has usually been failing for years. TruePane Windows & Doors has been replacing windows in Palm Beach since 2008, and the work is measured by a standard most companies won’t put in writing: if the pane is not true, the job is not done.

Call (850) 801-5596

We are a second-generation glazier’s shop. Dale Kessler founded TruePane in 2008, but he learned the trade long before that from his father, and he still walks job sites in Palm Beach regularly. Every replacement window we install carries both manufacturer warranty layers registered in writing, durations stated, plus a Done Right Promise that says if it is not right, we make it right. No fine print. No arguing. A live person answers the phone 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. When a window fails in July and the afternoon storm is rolling in off the Intracoastal, that matters. Call (850) 801-5596 for a free estimate.

What you won’t get with us is a franchise playbook. We hire local, train apprentices into journeymen, and act like a company that plans to be in town in thirty years. Because we do.

What Our Window Replacement Service Includes

A window replacement job is not one thing. The right approach depends on the condition of the existing frame, the age of the house, and what the homeowner is trying to fix: water intrusion, energy loss, storm protection, or simply a window that won’t open anymore. We break the work down the way a glazier would, not the way a marketing department would. Here is what we actually do.

Full Frame Replacement

Full Frame Replacement means we remove the entire existing window down to the rough opening, including the frame, trim, and old flashing. This is the right call when the frame itself has rotted, warped, or pulled away from the structure, which we see regularly in older Palm Beach homes built before modern flashing standards. TruePane technicians rebuild the opening, set the new window in a true plane, flash it according to current South Florida code, and seal it so that salt air and driving rain cannot find their way in. The result is a window that operates the way it did from the factory, not a new unit jammed into a failing hole.

Insert Window Replacement

An Insert Window Replacement, sometimes called a pocket replacement, leaves the existing frame in place and fits a new window unit inside it. It costs less than a full frame job and is appropriate when the original frame is still square, dry, and structurally sound. We are honest about when an insert is the right answer and when it is not. If the frame is not true, no insert will fix that. We measure twice, inspect the frame for hidden rot, and make the call based on what the opening actually tells us, not on what is quicker to install.

Storm Window Replacement

Storm windows are a secondary line of defense, common in older Palm Beach homes that never had impact glass. When a storm window fails, the damage is usually visible at the corners and the weatherstripping, and the interior window is suddenly doing all the work alone. We replace storm window frames, glass, and hardware, and we match the existing style so the change does not look like an afterthought. For homes near the water where wind-driven rain is a regular event, we often recommend upgrading to impact rated units instead of replacing storm windows piecemeal. We quote both options side by side on paper so the homeowner sees exactly what they are buying.

Energy-Efficient Upgrade

Energy-efficient replacement windows are the single most effective fix for a Palm Beach house that will not hold its temperature. We install low-E glass units, argon filled dual pane assemblies, and frames engineered to cut thermal transfer. In Palm Beach, the real energy story is solar heat gain: the sun hits your windows most of the year, and single pane glass turns the living room into a greenhouse. A proper Energy-Efficient Upgrade with low solar heat gain coefficients changes the comfort level in the room within days. We quote manufacturer lines side by side, including ES Windows and ECO Window Systems, so the homeowner can compare actual performance numbers, not just prices.

Historic Window Restoration

Some Palm Beach homes were built in an era when window sashes were made of old-growth wood that cannot be replaced at any price. When those windows fail, ripping them out and dropping in a vinyl unit destroys the character of the house. TruePane performs Historic Window Restoration, rebuilding sashes, replacing glazing, refinishing frames, and installing modern weatherstripping that does not alter the original appearance. We do it the way a glazier would have done it in 1950: by hand, with materials that match. Where an existing historic window can be restored rather than replaced, we will tell you that, and we’ll quote the restoration next to the replacement so the choice is clear.

Brands We Service for Window Replacement

We are an authorized installer for more than a dozen manufacturer lines, including, PGT, CGI, and ES Windows. Authorized means something specific: the manufacturers have trained our technicians on their products and they honor the warranty registration we submit. It also means we can quote two or three lines side by side on paper so a homeowner can see the actual performance and price difference between, say, a PGT impact unit and an ES Windows thermally broken aluminum frame. No vague talk about “premium quality.” Real numbers, real warranty durations, real prices.

We work with CWS products regularly, especially on multi-unit residential buildings in the Palm Beach area. We know the hardware and the glazing specifics, and we stock common replacement parts so a CWS window repair does not stall waiting on a freight shipment. We have also installed ECO Window Systems and ViewLux units in homes along the Intracoastal. Each line has its strengths. ECO Window Systems is a strong value for energy-efficient upgrades. ViewLux makes a clean, modern profile that suits newer construction. The point is not which brand we prefer. The point is that we know the difference in build quality, thermal performance, and warranty structure between the lines, and we explain it without a sales pitch.

Whether you have a CWS unit with a failed seal, an old Andersen sash that binds, or any other make that needs replacement, we can help. The brand on the window is the beginning of the conversation, not the end of it.

Signs You Need Window Replacement Right Now

Most failing windows announce themselves long before they become emergencies. These are the signs we tell homeowners to watch for, and they’re all warnings we have seen in Palm Beach homes more times than we can count.

• Condensation between the glass panes. When a dual pane seal fails, the window loses its insulating gas and moisture gets trapped between the glass. That fog is not a cleaning problem. It means the seal is dead and the window is now performing like a single pane unit. In Palm Beach humidity, a failed seal also invites mold inside the frame cavity, which compounds the problem every month it goes unaddressed.
• Windows that stick, jam, or won’t stay open. Wood frames swell in Palm Beach’s humid summers and shrink in the dry winter months. When a sash no longer moves freely, or when a window that should stay open keeps sliding shut, the frame or the balance system is failing. Forcing the window often breaks hardware that has to be special ordered. The fix is to address the underlying movement problem, not to muscle the window harder.
• Drafts you can feel from across the room. A window that lets air pass when it is closed and locked is no longer doing its only job. In an older Palm Beach house, drafts usually mean worn weatherstripping, a warped sash, or a frame that has shifted out of plumb. Replacing the window stops the air infiltration at the source.
• Rotted or soft wood around the frame. Press a screwdriver gently into the frame near the bottom corners. If the wood gives, the rot is structural, not cosmetic. Water has been getting in, and in the South Florida climate, rot spreads fast once the moisture barrier fails. A sash replacement will not fix this. The frame itself has to come out, a full frame window replacement is typically the only permanent answer.
• Visible damage after storms. A cracked pane, a bent frame, a sash that no longer meets the weatherstripping after a storm. Those are not problems to defer until hurricane season. Any compromised window is a leak waiting for the next heavy rain. Impact rated replacements are a required code upgrade in much of Palm Beach, and we quote them honestly, including what the code requires and what is optional.

If you are seeing any of these signs, the window is telling you something. Call (850) 801-5596 and we’ll send a background-checked, uniformed technician to look at it. The estimate is free, and we’ll give you a written line item quote, not a number over the phone.

Our Window Replacement Process - Step by Step

We follow the same process on every job because it works, and because it protects the homeowner at every step. Here is what happens when you call TruePane for a window replacement in Palm Beach.

1. 1
   You call and a live person answers. Not a voicemail tree, not a callback form. A human being picks up, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. We ask the basic questions: what the window is doing, when it started, what kind of home you have. Then we schedule a time that works for you.
2. 2
   We inspect the opening, not just the window. The technician measures every opening twice, checks the frame for rot, plumb, and square, and looks at how the window is flashed and sealed. We use a moisture meter on wood frames. We check for load paths on large openings. The goal is to understand what the opening needs before we ever talk about what the window costs.
3. 3
   We quote manufacturer lines side by side on paper. You see the actual window spec, the actual price, and the actual warranty duration for each option. If impact glass is required by code in your part of Palm Beach, we say so and we quote it. If a less expensive unit will serve you well for twenty years, we say that too. No change orders later, no surprise line items.
4. 4
   The installation happens in a single visit for most jobs. We show up when we say, in uniform, with the equipment ready. The old window comes out, the opening gets repaired and flashed, the new unit goes in, and it is set true before the first screw goes in. Both manufacturer warranty layers are registered in writing before the truck leaves your driveway.
5. 5
   We walk the job with you and stand behind it. You inspect the work with the technician before we pack up. If something is not right, we hear it from you, not from a callback message. Every job is covered by our Done Right Promise. If the pane is not true, the job is not done, and the fix is on us.
