Impact window and door replacement in The Acreage typically runs $800 to $2,800 per opening installed, depending on the product line, the size of the opening, and what our crew finds when the old frame comes out. Most full-home retrofits on the 1.25-acre ranch homes common here land between $18,000 and $45,000. We coordinate scheduling out of our South Florida office and keep crews working throughout The Acreage every week, so lead times stay short and service calls land on the calendar without a runaround.

Why TruePane Windows & Doors Is The Acreage’s Go-To Impact Windows & Doors Company
We have spent more than years earning a reputation in communities like The Acreage by doing the unglamorous things correctly. We measure every opening twice. We quote manufacturer lines side by side on paper so you see exactly what you are paying for. We pull permits, schedule inspections, and show up when we say we will, in uniform and ready to work. That is not marketing language. That is how a second-generation glazier runs a window company.
The homes across The Acreage are not like the beachside condos you see down the coast. They are CBS block and frame ranch houses built mainly in the 1980s and 1990s, before modern Florida Building Code hurricane standards took full effect. Homeowners here call us with windows that fog between the panes, sliding doors that bind in July, and sills that have been quietly rotting under clogged weep holes for years. We know exactly what we are going to find before we open the wall, and we build that knowledge into the estimate so the price you approve is the price you pay.
Dale Kessler’s rule is still on the whiteboard: if the pane is not true, the job is not done. That standard governs every install we do in The Acreage, from a single impact-rated bedroom window on an older ranch to a whole-home retrofit on a newer CBS build. We are an authorized installer for more than a dozen manufacturer lines, including PGT, CGI, and ES Windows, which means the products carry real warranty backing, not a handshake and a hope.
Our Impact Windows & Doors Services in The Acreage
Hurricane Impact Windows
Most homes in The Acreage still have the original single-pane aluminum windows installed when the house was built. Those frames flex under inland storm loads, break the seal on insulated glass units, and cloud the panes with condensation. We replace them with impact-rated, fusion-welded frames and laminated glass that meets current Palm Beach County wind-mitigation code. On a typical 1980s ranch, a full window retrofit takes one to two weeks of work once product arrives, not the months some companies quote.
Impact Sliding Glass Doors
The single-track aluminum sliding doors installed in 1980s Acreage homes are the most common failure point we see. Weep holes clog with the fine organic debris that blows off surrounding rural lots, water ponds against the sill, and the rough opening rots silently until the frame drops and the door binds. We pull the old door, replace rotted jambs and sills, and set a new impact-rated slider with flashing tape and a low-E argon glass unit. The county wind-mitigation inspection typically passes on the first visit because the rough opening is correct before the door goes in.
Impact Entry & French Doors
Front doors and patio French doors on older Acreage homes often carry single-pane glass panels that would fail under the wind loads Palm Beach County expects. We install impact-rated entry doors and French doors from ES Windows and other authorized lines, with proper anchoring to the CBS block or wood framing behind them. When the original jamb has been compromised by years of humidity, we repair or replace the rough opening before setting the new door. The door is only as good as the frame around it.
Impact Garage Doors
Garage doors are the largest single opening on an Acreage home and the one homeowners most often forget during a retrofit. A non-impact garage door that buckles inward lets wind pressure into the house and can lift the roof deck. We retrofit or replace garage doors with impact-rated models braced to Palm Beach County code. The work is usually completed in a single day once the door is on-site.
We also handle Wind Mitigation & Code Compliance work across The Acreage. If your insurance company has asked for a wind-mitigation inspection or you are pulling a permit for any window or door work, we prepare the openings, install the right products, and walk the inspection through with the county. No surprises on the permit fee side, and no change orders that were not priced and approved in writing before the work began.
Trusted Brands We Service in The Acreage
We stock and install CGI, ES Windows, ECO Window Systems, and more than a dozen other authorized manufacturer lines, which means we can put a PGT quote and a CGI quote side by side on paper so you see exactly what each product line costs and what its warranty covers. When an Acreage homeowner calls about a failed CWS or ES Windows unit, we know the product, we know the part numbers, and we know how long the manufacturer will take to ship a replacement sash or panel. Parts availability in western Palm Beach County is not the same as it is near the coast, and we plan around that reality when we set scheduling expectations.
Common Impact Windows & Doors Problems We See in The Acreage Homes
- Rotting rough openings under sliding glass doors. The 1980s single-track sliders common in The Acreage have weep holes that clog with organic debris from surrounding acreage lots. Water ponds against the sill, wicks under the threshold, and rots the jamb and subfloor silently for years. By the time the door binds, the framing is often gone.
- Seal failure in pre-Hurricane-Andrew single-pane aluminum frames. These frames flex under the inland wind loads that come with afternoon thunderstorm fronts and tropical systems tracking through Palm Beach County. The flex breaks the seal on insulated glass units, leaving permanent condensation between the panes that no defogging treatment ever fixes for long.
- Jalousie casement windows that leak air year-round. The oldest stock in The Acreage still has jalousie windows, and they were not built for this climate. Interior humidity condenses on the frames, jambs swell, and sashes become impossible to operate. Replacing them with impact-rated casement or picture windows is usually the only permanent fix.
- Undersized or damaged framing behind old window openings. Once we pull the trim on an older Acreage home, we often find framing that was never sized for an impact-rated unit. We rebuild the rough opening to code before the new window goes in. That step is where budget surprises normally hide, and it is exactly why we inspect first and write allowances into the contract.

FAQs - Impact Windows & Doors in The Acreage
Because Palm Beach County wind maps place all of The Acreage in a zone that requires impact-rated or protected openings whenever a permit is pulled for window or door work. Once you touch one opening with a permit, the county inspector will check the rest of the house. Many Acreage homeowners learn this the hard way when a simple $900 window swap becomes a code upgrade conversation for the whole wall. Our inspection-first process identifies the scope before the permit is ever filed, so you know what the county will require and what it will cost.
The weep holes clog with organic debris from surrounding lots, water ponds against the sill, and the rough opening rots silently. The frame eventually drops, the door binds, and the rot spreads into the jamb and subfloor. Replacing the door without repairing the rough opening just hides the problem behind a new frame. We pull the old door, rebuild the rotted opening, and set the new impact-rated slider properly, so the inspection passes and the door operates for decades.
Yes. Impact-rated laminated glass blocks a meaningful amount of solar heat compared to the single-pane aluminum frames most Acreage homes still have. You will notice the difference in rooms that face the afternoon sun, especially in the summer thunderstorm season when humidity builds. Impact windows also reduce air leakage, which matters more in inland Palm Beach County than people expect. The cooling benefit is real, but it is the storm protection and code compliance that justify the cost.
The inland humidity and daily afternoon thunderstorm pattern of western Palm Beach County accelerate frame flex and seal failure faster than the coastal sea-breeze climate does. Homes here also take full hurricane wind loads from inland-tracking storms without the partial buffer of coastal geography. Over twenty or thirty years, that repeated flex-and-settle cycle breaks the hermetic seal on insulated glass units, leaving permanent condensation between the panes. Impact-rated fusion-welded frames are built for exactly these conditions.
No. Impact-rated windows and doors satisfy the Palm Beach County protection requirement on their own without shutters. If you prefer shutters for an additional layer, we can install them, but they are not a code requirement once impact glazing is in place. Many Acreage homeowners choose impact windows specifically because they eliminate the annual ritual of putting up and taking down panels. Call (954) 280-4413 for an exact quote on your house, and we will walk you through the code requirements line by line.
What a Permit-Triggered Impact Retrofit Actually Costs on a 1980s Acreage Home
Because The Acreage sits inland, homeowners routinely assume they are exempt from coastal impact-window mandates. That assumption is wrong. Palm Beach County wind maps place the entire community in a zone that requires impact-rated or protected openings whenever a permit is pulled, so a simple window swap often triggers a code upgrade nobody budgeted for. The county does not grandfather older homes. Once the permit is filed, the inspector checks the whole house, not just the one window.
On a 1986 CBS ranch off 140th Avenue North, our crew pulled a failed single-pane aluminum slider and found the rough opening riddled with rot where years of clogged weep holes had wicked water under the threshold. We replaced the rotted jamb and sill, then set a new impact-rated, fusion-welded frame with flashing tape and a low-E argon insulated glass unit. The county wind-mitigation inspection passed on the first visit, and the final invoice matched the written estimate because the rot had been identified in our pre-quote inspection and priced as a line item.
That is how we handle every retrofit in The Acreage. Inspection first. Allowances written into the contract. Any surprise priced and approved in writing before we touch it. The final invoice does not move after you sign the contract, and the work is backed by the Done Right Promise and The Keystone Standard, which registers both manufacturer warranty layers in writing before the truck leaves the driveway.
