AfterFast, Reliable Impact Windows & Doors Across Atlantis
Impact windows and doors in Atlantis, FL typically run $900-$1,400 per opening for hurricane-rated impact windows, and $3,800-$6,500 for a standard impact sliding glass door, installed. Those are the numbers we quote on paper before any work starts. Atlantis is a small, single-era community, and the homes here were almost all built between the 1950s and 1980s. The original jalousie windows, aluminum sliding doors, and oversized picture windows that came with those houses were beautiful in their day. They are not compliant now, and salt air has not been kind to the aluminum frames. We’ve worked on enough Atlantis homes to know exactly what a replacement job here involves, and we’ll walk you through it. Call (954) 280-4413 to schedule a free estimate.
Why TruePane Windows & Doors Is Atlantis’s Preferred Impact Windows & Doors Company
Atlantis is different from the towns around it. The city operates almost like a private community association. A window replacement that passes Palm Beach County permitting can still get flagged by the city for the wrong frame color or grid pattern. We know because we’ve been through it, and we plan for it before the first opening is measured. Homeowners here tend to stay put for decades. They remember the contractor who left a fogged seal and a door that binds in July. Those are the people who call us.
Dale Kessler founded TruePane in 2008 on a rule that still names the company: if the pane is not true, the job is not done. We’re a second-generation glazier operation, not a franchise playbook with a rotating cast of subs. Our technicians are background-checked and uniformed. They measure every opening twice. They quote manufacturer lines side by side on paper so you can see exactly what you’re buying. And a live person answers the phone 24 hours a day. Not a recording. Call (954) 280-4413 and you’ll get a human being.
Every job is covered by the Done Right Promise and The Keystone Standard. That means both manufacturer warranty layers are registered in writing, with durations stated, before our truck leaves your driveway. If it isn’t done right, we make it right. No paperwork fights, no arguing, no fine print that covers neither. That’s the deal, in writing, on every job in Atlantis.
Our Impact Windows & Doors Services in Atlantis
Hurricane Impact Windows
Most Atlantis homes still have their original jalousie windows or single-pane picture units. Replacement here is almost always full-frame, not a glass swap. The existing frames have decades of salt-air corrosion and were never rated for current wind loads. We install impact-rated casements, single-hung, and fixed picture windows from PGT, CGI, and Ply Gem, among others. Each opening is measured twice, and the new frame is set plumb and flashed before the IGU goes in. That’s the difference between a window that seals and one that whistles through the first summer storm.
Impact Sliding Glass Doors
The original aluminum sliders in Atlantis were built wide to let in the Florida light. Fifty years later, the rollers are worn flat and the frames are pitted from salt air. We replace them with fusion-welded impact sliders rated for Palm Beach County’s wind-borne debris zone. The track is set dead level, the panel interlocks are checked at both jambs, and the flashing tape goes on before the trim. A slider that isn’t square will bind in July. Ours don’t.
Impact Entry & French Doors
Front entries in Atlantis run from single doors to double French setups. The old doors were rarely impact-rated, and the hardware has usually been painted over more times than anyone can count. We install impact-rated entry and French door systems with multi-point locks and proper threshold pans. Every unit is shimmed and anchored to the rough opening, then sealed top and sides. You get a door that swings true and a frame that won’t rot.
Impact Garage Doors
Garage doors are the largest opening in most Atlantis homes and the one most likely to fail in a hurricane. A non-rated door flexes under positive pressure, pulls the tracks off the wall, and lets the roof go. We install wind-rated impact garage doors with reinforced tracks and heavier hardware, then check the spring tension and balance. If you aren’t sure what rating your current door carries, we’ll tell you during the estimate.

Trusted Brands We Service in Atlantis
We’re an authorized installer for more than a dozen manufacturer lines, including, PGT, CGI, ES Windows, CWS, and Ply Gem. That matters for two reasons. First, you’re not locked into one brand’s design language or price sheet. Second, when something needs warranty service in Atlantis, we can actually get the parts. We stock the common replacement hardware and glass packages locally so a broken latch or a fogged IGU doesn’t turn into a three-week waiting game.
Common Impact Windows & Doors Problems We See in Atlantis Homes
- Salt-air pitting on original aluminum frames. Forty years of coastal humidity eats aluminum from the outside in. By the time the jamb crumbles, the window is doing nothing for your energy bill or your wind rating.
- Jalousie panels that were never impact-rated. Jalousies were standard in Atlantis’s build era. They do not meet current Florida Building Code wind-borne debris requirements, and no retrofit glazing changes that. The whole assembly has to go.
- Grid patterns and frame colors that pass county but fail city aesthetic review. Atlantis enforces architectural consistency more strictly than the surrounding county. A contractor who installs compliant windows with the wrong muntin profile or finish will get a callback. We match the existing grid pattern and exterior color before we order anything.
- Missing wind mitigation documentation. A homeowner pays for impact windows, but never gets the inspection report that proves the rating to their insurer. That’s money left on the table. We schedule the inspection and make sure the paperwork lands in your hands.
Pricing for Impact Windows & Doors in Atlantis, FL
Here’s what we quote in Atlantis, installed and with both warranty layers registered in writing:
- Hurricane impact window (average opening): $900-$1,400 per window, full-frame replacement
- Impact sliding glass door (standard 2-panel, 72″x80″): $3,800-$6,500
- Impact entry door (single, pre-hung): $2,200-$3,800
- Impact French door (double, pre-hung): $4,500-$7,500
- Impact garage door (16’x7′, wind-rated): $3,500-$6,000
- Wind mitigation inspection and report: $150-$250
Full-frame replacement runs higher than a retrofit because the old frame comes out, the rough opening gets re-flashed, and the new unit is set and sealed from scratch. That’s the only approach that works on Atlantis’s aging aluminum frames. Retrofit glazing over corroded jambs fails wind-load testing and leaks around the flashing. We quote the job that actually passes. Call (954) 280-4413 for a free, itemized estimate. We also honor a permanent 5% discount for seniors and veterans, plus a free written repair estimate.

FAQs - Impact Windows & Doors in Atlantis
Atlantis is almost entirely single-family homes built between the 1950s and 1980s, and nearly every job is a full-frame replacement of original jalousies, aluminum sliders, or oversized picture windows. Lake Worth Beach has mixed commercial and a wider range of housing ages, so partial retrofits are more common there. In Atlantis, the job is usually the same profile: high-income homeowner, single-era home, full compliance retrofit including the city’s aesthetic review. Call (954) 280-4413 and we’ll confirm what your specific house needs.
Yes. Every permitted replacement in Palm Beach County must meet Florida Building Code wind-borne debris protection requirements, and Atlantis’s review process includes an aesthetic check that doesn’t exist one block outside city limits. We pull the permit, schedule the rough-in and final inspections, and provide the wind mitigation report your insurer needs. The paperwork is part of the job, not an add-on.
Because Atlantis’s city government functions more like a private community association. The county cares whether the window meets wind-load and impact standards. The city also cares whether the frame color, grid pattern, and exterior profile match the community’s established look. Contractors who don’t know the unwritten expectations order a technically compliant window that still gets denied. We match those details before we order, so the job passes the first time. Call (954) 280-4413 for an estimate that accounts for all of it.
Documented compliance can reduce your windstorm premium, sometimes substantially. Insurers in Palm Beach County apply credits for impact-rated openings and wind mitigation features, but only if the paperwork is on file. The inspection report and the product approval numbers have to match what’s actually installed. We register both warranty layers and provide the documentation package at completion. That file goes to you, and you send it to your agent. The discount is yours to claim.
No. Jalousie frames were never designed for impact-rated glass. The original aluminum jambs and sashes in Atlantis homes are typically corroded from decades of salt air, and they fail wind-load testing even with new glass. The entire assembly has to come out and be replaced with a rated, full-frame impact window. Trying to save money with a glass swap leaves you with a window that isn’t compliant and won’t pass inspection. We’ll tell you straight during the estimate.
On Clubhouse Boulevard, we replaced a wall of original jalousie panels and a corroded aluminum sliding door with impact-rated ViewLux casements and a fusion-welded slider. The old frames had salt-air pitting so severe the jambs crumbled on removal. The new low-E argon-filled IGUs and flashing tape brought the home to code and stopped the drafts the owner had lived with for 30 years. That’s the standard we bring to every Atlantis home.
