AfterFast, Reliable Window Installation Across Palm Beach
Window installation in Palm Beach is not the same job it is five miles west. The salt air off the Atlantic and the Intracoastal corrodes standard aluminum frames and carbon-steel hardware within a few years, and the Town’s Architectural Review Commission means most exterior window work on the island needs approval before the first pane is ordered. We know both realities because we work inside them every week. TruePane Windows & Doors serves Palm Beach homeowners who need windows that survive the barrier-island environment and pass ARCOM review the first time. Call (954) 280-4413 for a free estimate and a straight answer about what your house actually needs.
Why TruePane Windows & Doors Is Palm Beach’s Preferred Window Installation Company
Founded by second-generation glazier Dale Kessler, TruePane Windows & Doors has built its name on a rule that governs every install: if the pane is not true, the job is not done. In a town where the housing stock is unlike anything else in South Florida, that rule matters. Mediterranean Revival estates from the 1920s, mid-century modern homes along the interior drives, and oceanfront properties with both the Atlantic and the Intracoastal throwing salt spray at the glass all require a different level of care than a stucco rancher in the western suburbs.
Dale Kessler has spent years in glazing, and the company carries that experience into every Palm Beach job. We hire local, train apprentices into journeymen, and act like a company that plans to be in town in thirty years, because we do. Background-checked, uniformed technicians measure every opening twice, quote manufacturer lines side by side on paper, and register both warranty layers in writing before the truck leaves the driveway. The Done Right Promise backs every project: if it is not done right, we make it right, with no paperwork fights and no arguing.
Palm Beach homeowners call us because the work we do actually stays done in this climate, and because a live person answers the phone 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Not a voicemail tree. Not a callback form. A person.
Our Window Installation Services in Palm Beach
Casement Windows
Casement windows are the defining window type of Palm Beach’s historic estates. Addison Mizner’s Mediterranean Revival homes used steel casements with slim sightlines, and the current ones on South Ocean Boulevard and El Bravo Way are often original. We install impact-rated steel casement replicas that match those original profiles, with marine-grade stainless hardware and fusion-welded frames that survive salt air from both sides of the island. For newer construction, we also install modern aluminum and vinyl casements that meet Miami-Dade NOA standards.
Fixed & Picture Windows
Fixed and picture windows let in the ocean view without the operable hardware that salt spray attacks. On Palm Beach estates, these are often large-format units with laminated impact glass and custom trim to match surrounding millwork. We handle the engineering and structural requirements for oversized openings in thick stucco walls, which is common on the island’s older homes. A fixed window on a Palm Beach oceanfront elevation needs a heavier frame than the same-sized unit inland, and we specify accordingly.
Single & Double Hung
Single and double hung windows appear most often in Palm Beach’s mid-century modern corridor and in the garden-level and service areas of the larger estates. These homes were often built with aluminum frames that are now failing from decades of salt exposure, and the sashes are seized or the seals are fogged. We replace them with impact-rated units that are factory-labeled for Florida’s high-velocity wind zones and installed with a sealing protocol that accounts for humidity and salt spray. The frame material matters as much as the glass, and we quote both options on paper before you commit.
Awning Windows
Awning windows work well in Palm Beach’s wet season because they can be left cracked open during rain without letting water in. They are common in kitchens, bathrooms, and ocean-facing bedrooms where ventilation matters but driving rain is a daily reality. We install awning windows with proper gasketing and stainless hardware so the salt air does not seize the mechanism inside a few years.

Trusted Brands We Service in Palm Beach
TruePane is an authorized installer for more than a dozen manufacturer lines, and for Palm Beach specifically we work most often with CGI, PGT, ES Windows, and ECO Window Systems because these lines offer the Miami-Dade NOA-rated impact products the island’s code and ARCOM both demand. We stock and order components for these brands regularly for Palm Beach customers, which shortens lead times and keeps warranty claims moving when they come up. Both warranty layers get registered in writing, with durations stated, before the truck leaves your driveway.
Common Window Installation Problems We See in Palm Beach Homes
- Salt-air corrosion on aluminum frames and carbon-steel hardware. Homes on the island get salt exposure from both the Atlantic and the Intracoastal, which seizes sashes and eats through hardware within years. Marine-grade stainless hardware is the only fix that lasts.
- Off-the-shelf impact windows failing ARCOM review on historic estates. The Town requires preservation review for exterior window work, and standard vinyl or aluminum units often get rejected. Custom-fabricated steel casement replicas matching Mizner-era profiles are frequently the only legal replacement.
- Flashing and sealant failure behind stucco. Palm Beach’s humidity and salt spray break down generic flashing tape and non-marine sealants quickly, leading to water intrusion that shows up as peeling stucco or interior mold. We use flashing tape rated for coastal exposure and sealants that hold up in marine environments.
- Seal failure from constant thermal and humidity cycling. Fogged glass in double-pane units is common here sooner than inland because the barrier island’s temperature swings and high humidity stress edge seals. We replace failed units with properly specified insulated glass units and inspect the glazing pocket for corrosion before installing.
Pricing for Window Installation in Palm Beach, FL
Window installation in Palm Beach runs higher than across the bridge for reasons you can put your hands on. A standard impact-rated vinyl single or double hung for a mid-century home on the island typically costs $900 to $1,700 per opening installed. Fixed impact picture windows run $1,400 to $3,200 depending on size and glass package. Custom steel casement replicas for ARCOM-protected estates are a different category entirely: $4,000 to $9,500 per opening is a realistic range for a Mizner-profile unit with marine-grade hardware and fusion-welded frames. For comparison, the same vinyl double hung installed in West Palm Beach would often fall $150 to $400 lower per opening because the wind-zone requirements and elevation details are less demanding.
The price gap between coastal-spec and inland-spec work is not a markup. It is the difference between stainless and zinc-plated hardware, marine-grade sealant and what the big box sells, flashing tape rated for salt exposure and the roll that is not. Cheap hardware on the island seizes within three to five years. Then you pay for the replacement all over again, plus the labor to open the wall back up. We will show you both specs on paper and tell you which one makes sense for a house five hundred feet from the surf. Call (954) 280-4413 for a free estimate with line-item pricing.

FAQs - Window Installation in Palm Beach
Yes, for most exterior window work on the island. The Town of Palm Beach’s Architectural Review Commission requires design approval before exterior windows or doors are modified, and this applies to replacements, alterations, and new openings on the vast majority of residential properties. The review process is separate from the building permit, and it exists to protect the architectural character the Town has codified since the 1970s. TruePane can help you understand what the Commission will likely require and can prepare drawings and specifications that align with ARCOM’s guidelines before you pay for fabrication. Call (954) 280-4413 to talk through your specific project.
In most cases, no. ARCOM review applies to any exterior window modification on the island, and on historic estates, particularly those from the Mizner era, standard vinyl or aluminum impact windows are routinely rejected because their frame dimensions and sightlines do not match the original steel casements. Homeowners who install off-the-shelf units without approval risk being required to remove them, which means paying for the windows, the install, the tear-out, and then the custom-fabricated replicas. The correct path is to work with a contractor who understands the ARCOM standard and can specify a compliant replacement from the start. Call (954) 280-4413 for an honest assessment of what your house needs.
Labor rates are not the main difference. The materials and engineering are. Palm Beach sits in Florida’s highest wind-speed design zone, requires Miami-Dade NOA-rated impact products by code, and the Town’s ARCOM review process adds design, documentation, and approval time that does not exist in West Palm Beach. Historic estates also require custom-fabricated steel casement replicas rather than standard production units, and custom fabrication costs more per unit than anything in a warehouse. Add marine-grade stainless hardware and coastal-rated flashing and sealant, and the gap compounds. The inland-spec window that will fail in five years on the island is not the deal it looks like. Call (954) 280-4413 and we will show you both specs on paper, with prices.
For Palm Beach oceanfront and soundfront homes, we specify double-pane insulated glass units with low-E coatings tuned for South Florida’s cooling-dominated climate, typically a spectrally selective low-E on surface two, with argon or krypton fill depending on the frame depth and whether the unit is impact laminated. Laminated glass for impact resistance is standard on every window facing the sea or the Intracoastal. The coating and fill combination matters less than proper installation: a $300 glass package installed with poor sealing will fog within a season on the island. We match the glass spec to each elevation, because the western exposure on a Royal Palm Way condo needs something different than the shaded north side of an El Bravo Way estate. Call (954) 280-4413 for exact specifications and pricing.
If the glass looks hazy or fogged between the panes, especially in the morning or after rain, the edge seal has failed and moisture is inside the insulated glass unit. On Palm Beach, salt accelerates this failure by corroding the aluminum spacers that separate the glass panes, so you will often see a white or gray deposit along the inside edge of the glass before the fog becomes permanent. Sashes that are stiff or will not open are another sign your frames and hardware are corroding. We inspect window condition as part of every free estimate, and we will tell you honestly if a window can be repaired with new glazing or if the frame needs replacement. Call (954) 280-4413 to schedule a look.
