AfterFast, Reliable Window Replacement Across South Palm Beach
Window replacement in South Palm Beach runs $900-$2,800 per opening for impact-rated units, depending on frame type and whether the install is a full-frame tear-out or an insert. Most condo units we work on here take one to two days once materials arrive. If you live in one of the barrier island towers along South Ocean Boulevard or near the Lantana bridge, you already know the salt air never quits. Call us at (954) 280-4413 and we’ll come measure the openings, quote the job on paper, and register both warranty layers before we leave the driveway.
Why TruePane Windows & Doors Is South Palm Beach’s Preferred Window Replacement Company
We have been replacing windows and doors in South Palm Beach long enough to know what the double-front salt exposure does to aluminum frames. The town sits on a ribbon of land barely a few hundred feet wide, with the Atlantic on one side and the Intracoastal on the other. That means every window gets hit with salt-laden air from two directions, all year. Original frames from the 1970s and 1980s pinhole and pit faster here than anywhere inland in Palm Beach County.
Dale Kessler founded TruePane Windows & Doors in 2008 as a second-generation glazier, but the craft runs deeper than that. Years of community service stands behind the name, and our crews live and work in South Florida. We are not a franchise operation running crews in from another state. We hire local, train apprentices into journeymen, and answer the phone with a live person 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. When a South Palm Beach condo board calls about a milestone inspection finding, they get someone who knows what SB 4-D requires, not a call center reading from a script.
Our Window Replacement team measures every opening twice. We quote manufacturer lines side by side on paper so you see exactly what you are buying. And we stand behind every install with the Done Right Promise, backed by The Keystone Standard: both manufacturer warranty layers registered in writing, durations stated, before the truck leaves the property. If the pane is not true, the job is not done.
Our Window Replacement Services in South Palm Beach
Impact-Rated Glazing Upgrade
South Palm Beach sits in a direct hurricane exposure zone, and post-Surfside building codes now demand large-missile impact resistance on most replacement work. Original single-pane aluminum windows from the late 1960s through the 1980s do not meet current Florida Product Approval requirements. We replace them with impact-rated units from PGT, CGI, and CWS, using marine-grade hardware that holds up to the salt air. A typical impact upgrade in South Palm Beach runs $1,400-$2,800 per opening for casement or horizontal roller units, including frame repair where the old aluminum has pitted.
Insert Window Replacement
When the existing frame is structurally sound, insert replacement windows drop into the old opening without disturbing interior trim or drywall. In South Palm Beach, we see a lot of towers where the concrete openings are fine but the original aluminum frames are corroded beyond safe use. Inserts run $900-$1,900 per opening here, and most units go in same-day once the old sash is out. This is the most common route for individual condo owners who need to replace fogged or binding windows without waiting for a full building envelope project.
Full Frame Replacement
Full frame replacement tears out everything down to the concrete or wood rough opening and sets a new window from scratch. South Palm Beach condo boards often choose this when milestone inspections flag widespread frame corrosion, failed seals, or water intrusion. It costs $1,800-$3,400 per opening depending on size and whether we are setting impact casements or large fixed picture units. We pull permits, handle the HOA paperwork, and pass inspections before we call the job done.
Energy-Efficient Upgrade
Older single-pane windows in South Palm Beach leak conditioned air constantly, which matters on a barrier island where air conditioning runs ten months a year. Low-E glass with argon fill and thermally broken frames cut heat gain and reduce fogging between panes. We quote energy-efficient packages from Ply Gem and PGT side by side so you can see the price difference on paper. Most energy upgrades in South Palm Beach run $1,100-$2,200 per window, and the improvement in interior comfort is noticeable within the first week.

Trusted Brands We Service in South Palm Beach
We are an authorized installer for more than a dozen manufacturer lines, including, PGT, CGI, and ES Windows. For South Palm Beach specifically, we keep a working inventory of PGT, CGI, and CWS impact-rated units and marine-grade hardware in rotation because demand from the condo towers never stops. That means we can often turn around an insert replacement in South Palm Beach faster than shops that have to special-order every sash from a distribution center. If you have an existing brand you prefer, we quote it side by side against comparable lines, on paper, so the price difference is clear before you sign anything.
Common Window Replacement Problems We See in South Palm Beach Homes
- Salt-air pitting on original aluminum frames. The constant exposure from both the Atlantic and Intracoastal sides leaves white corrosion blooms on frames, especially on ocean-facing elevations. Once the pitting reaches the corners, the frame loses structural strength and sashes bind or refuse to close.
- Fog between the panes. Insulated glass units in South Palm Beach fail in 8-12 years on average, instead of the 15-20 you see inland. Salt-laden humidity works its way past weakened seals and leaves permanent condensation between panes. The fix is a new IGU, not a wipe-down.
- Corroded sliding door rollers and locks. Original steel roller assemblies on 1970s and 1980s sliders seize up from salt corrosion. The door becomes hard to operate, and a slider that will not lock is not a hurricane barrier. We replace steel rollers with stainless and upgrade locking hardware on every door we touch.
- Jalousie lanai windows failing milestone inspections. Many of the older towers in South Palm Beach still have original jalousie windows on balconies and lanai enclosures. SB 4-D inspection reports frequently flag these as life-safety concerns. Boards cannot defer them the way they used to.
Pricing for Window Replacement in South Palm Beach, FL
Here are the ranges we quote for South Palm Beach work:
- Insert window replacement: $900-$1,900 per opening
- Impact-rated glazing upgrade: $1,400-$2,800 per opening
- Full frame replacement: $1,800-$3,400 per opening
- Energy-efficient upgrade (Low-E, argon): $1,100-$2,200 per window
- Sliding glass door replacement (impact-rated): $3,500-$7,500 per door
The coastal-spec price runs higher than inland because marine-grade stainless hardware, fusion-welded frames, and marine flashing tape all cost more than standard components. We have seen boards try to save money with inland-spec materials, and the frames start pitting within five years. The cheap spec costs more within a decade. Call (954) 280-4413 for a written line-item quote on your exact openings. Estimates are free, and we never change the price on you after the job starts.

FAQs - Window Replacement in South Palm Beach
Because the town sits on a barrier island barely a few hundred feet wide, with salt-laden air coming off the Atlantic and the Intracoastal at the same time, so standard steel hardware corrodes in five years or less. We specify stainless steel rollers, locks, and fasteners on every South Palm Beach job, and we use marine-grade flashing tape at every rough opening. Call (954) 280-4413 and we will walk you through the material spec line by line.
SB 4-D requires structural and envelope inspections for condo buildings 25 years or older (and 30 years or older on the barrier islands, unless local rules tighten that further), which covers nearly every tower in South Palm Beach, and window and door systems are a central part of the report. Corroded frames, failed lanai enclosures, and non-impact glazing now appear as formal findings that boards must address with repair or replacement. We work directly with condo associations to bid the work, pull permits, and document compliance for the next inspection cycle.
We recommend fusion-welded vinyl or thermally broken aluminum with a marine-grade finish for South Palm Beach, because both resist the pitting and white corrosion that destroys original untreated aluminum frames. Vinyl holds up well to the salt air and requires almost no maintenance; thermally broken aluminum gives a slimmer profile with similar corrosion resistance. We quote both options side by side so you can compare.
Fog between panes means the insulated glass unit seal has failed, and in South Palm Beach the constant salt-laden humidity pushes that failure to the 8-12 year mark instead of the inland norm of 15-20. The fix is replacing the IGU or the entire sash, not cleaning, because the seal cannot be repaired once moisture has gotten inside. We replace fogged units as part of a broader window replacement or as a standalone repair.
Yes, in practice. The town sits in a high-velocity hurricane zone with direct exposure on both the Atlantic and Intracoastal sides, and Florida Product Approval for large-missile impact resistance is required on replacement windows in nearly every situation we encounter. Some narrow exceptions exist for repair work on historic structures, but condos and residential units almost always need impact-rated glazing. We will confirm what your building requires before we quote, and we will not sell you a unit that fails inspection.
If you are dealing with corroded frames, fogged sashes, a failed milestone inspection finding, or you are just ready to stop fighting old single-pane windows in South Palm Beach, call us at (954) 280-4413. A live person answers, day or night. We will schedule a free estimate, measure every opening twice, and put the quote in writing with both warranty layers registered. Done right, the first time.
