Window and door replacement in Gun Club Estates typically runs $900-$2,400 per opening for impact-rated units installed, with full-house projects on the 1970s-era concrete block homes here commonly landing between $18,000 and $45,000 depending on opening count and product line. Most jobs in this unincorporated Palm Beach County community take two to five days once permits clear, and because every replacement must meet current Florida Building Code wind-load standards, the work is rarely a simple like-for-like swap. If you’re weighing whether to replace or repair, call (954) 280-4413 and we’ll walk through what your house actually needs. We know the housing stock here well enough to tell you before we ever set foot in the driveway whether your original aluminum sliders are worth saving. They usually aren’t.

Why Gun Club Estates Homeowners Choose TruePane Windows & Doors
This is a community where people remember who showed up on time and who didn’t. The homes around Gun Club Road and the streets off Military Trail were mostly built before Hurricane Andrew, and most homeowners here have been through at least one storm season that made them rethink every opening in the house. When they call us, they want a straight answer about whether their windows will pass a wind mitigation inspection, and they want it from somebody who’s done this work in their neighborhood before. We’ve served homes throughout Gun Club Estates, from the pockets near John Prince Park up through the residential blocks west of the Turnpike, and the calls we get tend to start the same way: “My insurance agent said I need impact windows.” We understand that pressure, and we don’t add to it with vague pricing or long callbacks. Dale Kessler set a rule when he founded this company: if the pane is not true, the job is not done. That’s the standard we bring to every opening we touch here.
We hire local, train our apprentices into journeymen, and answer the phone with a live person 24 hours a day, seven days a week. When a Gun Club Estates homeowner calls at 7 p.m. on a Tuesday because a sliding glass door won’t close properly after a storm, they get a person, not a menu. The technicians who show up are background-checked and uniformed, and they measure every opening twice before quoting anything.
Windows & Doors Services We Offer in Gun Club Estates
Window Installation
We install new-construction and retrofit windows sized to your existing openings, and we walk you through product lines side by side on paper so you see exactly what you’re paying for. Most Gun Club Estates homes need retrofit installation because the concrete block walls make full tear-out expensive and unnecessary.
Learn more about our Window Installation in Gun Club Estates.
Door Installation
Front entry doors, side doors, and garage-entry doors here are often hollow-core originals that have warped in the humidity and no longer seal. We install rated exterior doors that close square, lock properly, and meet the wind-load requirements Palm Beach County inspectors look for.
Learn more about our Door Installation in Gun Club Estates.
Window Replacement
Most replacement work in this community means pulling out original single-pane aluminum sliders and jalousies that leak air, fog between the panes, and fail wind mitigation on sight. We replace them with impact-rated or energy-efficient units sized correctly for the existing rough openings.

Impact Windows & Doors
Impact-rated openings are the baseline expectation in Gun Club Estates, not an upgrade. Sitting in Palm Beach County’s Wind-Borne Debris Region with design wind speeds around 140 mph, every opening in your house is under insurance scrutiny, and Citizens Insurance policy requirements have made impact products the practical standard for any replacement we quote here.
Energy-Efficient Windows
Low-E glass and insulated frames cut the heat load on homes that were built with no meaningful glazing technology. Given how hard Florida sun hits these homes year-round, the right glass package can drop air conditioning costs in a measurable way, especially on west-facing walls.
Sliding & Patio Doors
The original aluminum sliders on these homes bind in July, leak air year-round, and were never rated for the wind speeds this area gets. We replace them with impact-rated sliders and French doors that move cleanly and seal tight, and we register both manufacturer warranty layers before the truck leaves your driveway.
Glass Railing Systems
For homes near the lake or with patios facing open ground, we install tempered glass railing systems that hold up to weather and code. It’s a specialty product, and we quote it the same way we quote windows: line items on paper, no surprises.
Custom Windows & Doors
If your opening isn’t a stock size, which happens more than you’d expect in 1970s and 1980s builds here, we order custom units and install them to the same standard as everything else we do. We quote manufacturer lines like Andersen and ES Windows side by side so the decision is yours with full information.

Why Gun Club Estates’s Climate & Housing Affect Windows & Doors
Gun Club Estates is an unincorporated Palm Beach County community where the housing stock is dominated by pre-Hurricane Andrew concrete block homes still fitted with original single-pane aluminum slider windows and hollow-core exterior doors that fail current Palm Beach County wind mitigation standards. With Florida’s property insurance market in crisis and Citizens Insurance actively shedding policies, homeowners here are under acute pressure to upgrade every opening to impact-rated products. This isn’t just storm protection. It’s a wind mitigation re-inspection that can cut windstorm premiums by hundreds of dollars annually. The math on replacement changes when the insurance savings become part of the calculation, and most of the calls we get on Gun Club Road and the streets around it start with exactly that conversation.
Year-round humidity and intense UV exposure also accelerate seal failure and frame oxidation on older aluminum units. A slider that still looks fine from the inside may have lost its seal years ago, and that fog you see between the panes isn’t going to fix itself. Because Gun Club Estates is unincorporated, all window and door permits run through Palm Beach County’s Building Division rather than a city department. County inspectors cover large geographic areas, so job timelines here often run a few days longer than in neighboring incorporated cities like Greenacres or Lake Worth where municipal inspectors have smaller territories. We schedule around that reality and tell you the truth about it up front.

FAQs About Windows & Doors in Gun Club Estates
No, you cannot simply swap old windows for new non-impact units in Gun Club Estates. The Florida Building Code requires that any replacement window or door in a Wind-Borne Debris Region, which includes all of Palm Beach County, meet impact or protection requirements. There is no grandfathering for a like-for-like swap, and a non-rated replacement will fail a wind mitigation inspection and likely raise your insurance exposure rather than lower it. If you’re unsure whether a repair counts as a replacement, call (954) 280-4413 and we’ll tell you what the county will require before you spend a dollar.
Wind mitigation discounts vary by carrier, but many Gun Club Estates homeowners report premium reductions in the hundreds of dollars annually after replacing non-rated openings with impact products and passing re-inspection. The exact figure depends on your roof shape, your opening protection credit, and your insurer’s current rate table. We can’t quote your insurance savings, but we can give you the product specifications your inspector and carrier will ask for, and we register both warranty layers in writing before we leave the driveway.
Most full-house replacement projects in Gun Club Estates run two to five days of on-site work once permits are approved. The permitting phase itself can add a week or more because this is an unincorporated area served by Palm Beach County inspectors who cover large territories. We’ll give you a realistic timeline in writing when we quote, and we’ll be there when we say.
Yes, we routinely match the look of original aluminum sliders with modern impact-rated products that fit the same rough openings. The profile won’t be identical to a 1975 jalousie, but we size retrofit units to preserve your interior trim and exterior stucco work, and we can show you manufacturer lines like Andersen, ES Windows side by side so you can see the visual difference before committing. Call (954) 280-4413 and we’ll bring samples to your home.
Yes. We pull all required permits through Palm Beach County’s Building Division and schedule the inspections ourselves. You won’t be asked to chase an inspector or file paperwork on your own. The permit process here runs through the county because Gun Club Estates is unincorporated, and we’re familiar with how that affects scheduling. It’s part of the job, not an extra line item.

What Gun Club Estates Customers Say
"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."
- Eleanor G."Our bay window had rotted at the sill and two other outfits wanted to talk us into a flat picture window instead. TruePane rebuilt the opening and matched the original look. Neighbors have knocked on the door about it."
- Gene A."Two entry doors. Showed up when they said, second day was a half day like they said, and the painter they recommended confirmed the frames were dead plumb. The financing was explained in actual dollars, not a brochure."
- Janet R.
