AfterFast, Reliable Impact Windows & Doors Across Wellington
Most Wellington homes were built before Florida rewrote its building code after Hurricane Andrew, so the original windows and doors carry no impact rating. That leaves a lot of single-pane aluminum sliders and hollow-core entry doors standing between your family and a 155 mph wind gust. Our Impact Windows & Doors team replaces them with code-compliant, hurricane-rated systems sized for Palm Beach County’s high-velocity wind zone. Call (954) 280-4413 for a free estimate on a full retrofit or a single opening. We serve Wellington from the south county dispatch office, with local crews who know these streets and HOA submittal rules.
Why TruePane Windows & Doors Is Wellington’s Preferred Impact Windows & Doors Company
Homeowners in Wellington call us because we measure twice, quote manufacturer lines side by side on paper, and register both warranty layers before the truck leaves the driveway. Dale Kessler founded TruePane in 2008 on a rule that still hangs on the whiteboard: if the pane is not true, the job is not done. That standard applies whether we’re replacing one fused slider off Pierson Road or a full estate envelope near Palm Beach Polo. We’re not the cheapest bid in Wellington, and we don’t try to be. Our customers are people who plan to stay in the house another twenty years and want the work done right the first time.
Every job is covered by the Done Right Promise. If something isn’t right, we make it right, no paperwork fights and no arguing. The Keystone Standard means both manufacturer warranty layers get registered in writing, with durations stated, before we leave your driveway. A live person answers our phone 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Not a voicemail tree, not a callback form. You call, a person picks up. In Wellington, that matters more than people expect.
Our Impact Windows & Doors Services in Wellington
Hurricane Impact Windows
Most 1980s and early 1990s CBS tract homes in Wellington still have original single-pane aluminum windows. They were never rated for windborne debris, and honestly, they were never great at keeping out heat either. We replace them with impact-rated systems from CGI, CWS, and ES Windows, with laminated glass that stays in the frame even when a branch hits it at speed. Fusion-welded frames don’t flex the way old mechanically joined aluminum corners do, which matters during a pressure cycle that can push and pull a window for hours.
Impact Sliding Glass Doors
Wellington’s original sliding glass doors were built for a different Florida. Salt-laden humidity carried by southeast winds off the Atlantic, even 12 miles inland, oxidizes the aluminum tracks and hardens the weatherstripping until the door binds in its jamb. We install impact-rated sliders with stainless steel rollers and reinforced interlocking rails that open with two fingers. For estate homes near the equestrian corridors, we also do lift-and-slide systems in custom sizes that match the house’s original sightlines.
Impact Entry & French Doors
Outswing French doors on pre-Andrew Wellington homes are a liability. The hinges are exterior-mounted, the hardware is builder-grade, and the glazing has no impact rating. We replace them with impact French doors that swing on heavy-duty hinges with multi-point locking, rated for Palm Beach County’s wind zone. For entry doors, we size fiberglass and steel systems that look appropriate on a Wellington estate, not like something bolted onto a storm shelter.
Impact Garage Doors
A garage door is the largest opening on most Wellington homes, and the wind load on it is enormous. Original hollow-core or thin-steel doors flex under pressure, and once the door gives, the roof pressurizes and lifts. We install reinforced impact garage doors with bracing rated for the county’s high-velocity zone, sized to your opening. This is one of the highest-value wind mitigation upgrades available in Wellington.

Trusted Brands We Service in Wellington
TruePane is an authorized installer for more than a dozen manufacturer lines, and for Wellington we stock local parts for the brands you’re most likely to see on existing homes: CGI, CWS, and ES Windows. That means faster turnaround when a sash needs replacement glass or hardware, and side-by-side quotes on paper so you see exactly what you’re buying. We don’t push one brand. We quote the product that fits your opening, your HOA’s architectural standards, and your budget, then register both warranty layers in writing before we leave.
Common Impact Windows & Doors Problems We See in Wellington Homes
- Aluminum frames seized in their jambs. Southeast winds carry salt-laden humidity across Wellington year-round. It oxidizes builder-grade aluminum, and after twenty years, sashes won’t open or lock. This is a replace-not-repair situation every time.
- Single-pane sliders with no impact rating. Original glass on 1980s and 1990s tract homes shatters under windborne debris. A pressure cycle then lets the roof lift. We see this on nearly every pre-Andrew estimate we write in Wellington.
- Fogged insulated glass units. Florida’s UV index is brutal on low-E coatings. On older insulated units, the coating delaminates and the argon leaks out. The glass fogs between the panes and the window loses its thermal performance. You can’t reseal a failed IGU. It gets replaced.
- Jalousie transoms leaking air and water. Those narrow glass slats above the main windows on pre-Andrew CBS homes leak around every louver. Current Palm Beach County wind mitigation codes require them to be replaced, not repaired, and most owners don’t find that out until the permit review.

FAQs - Impact Windows & Doors in Wellington
Yes. Wellington sits inside Palm Beach County’s high-velocity hurricane zone, with a design wind speed around 155 mph. Inland location does not exempt you. Any new window or door replacement must meet the county’s impact or windborne-debris requirements, and unrated original windows from the 1980s and 1990s do not comply. Call (954) 280-4413 and we’ll explain exactly what your permit reviewer will ask for.
Impact film does not turn a single-pane aluminum slider into an impact-rated window. It can hold glass shards together, but it does nothing for the frame, the interlock, or the pressure rating. Palm Beach County wind mitigation codes don’t accept film as a substitute for rated glazing and framing. The honest answer is replacement. Estimates are free.
No. Builder warranties on Wellington’s newer master-planned communities cover structural workmanship and specific systems for a defined period, typically one to ten years. Replacing windows by a licensed contractor does not void that warranty, but you need to submit your product choice through the HOA’s architectural review before work starts. We handle the submittal package for you, and we pull permits on every job. Call (954) 280-4413 to get started.
The fog is a failed seal. Florida’s UV index degrades low-E coatings on older insulated units, which leads to delamination, and once the seal fails, moisture gets in and the argon gets out. Wellington’s humidity accelerates the process. A failed IGU cannot be repaired, only replaced. We’ve replaced fogged units on 1990s homes all over Wellington. Call (954) 280-4413 for a free assessment.
Schedule between May and September. Estate owners on Pierson Road and in the show-horse corridors call in a rush starting in October, wanting permits finaled and installs done before they fly in for the Winter Equestrian Festival. Crews and permit review both slow down during season. If you want the work done before January, call (954) 280-4413 by early fall.
On a call to a 1990s CBS tract home off Pierson Road, our tech found the original aluminum slider had fused in its jamb from years of salt-laden humidity, with hardened weatherstripping crumbling away and low-E coating delamination fogging the insulated glass unit. We installed a fusion-welded frame impact-rated casement with argon-filled low-E glass, flashing tape over the rough opening, and a matching impact French door, then pulled permits and scheduled the inspection so the seasonal owner could fly in for the start of the Winter Equestrian Festival with a weathertight, code-compliant envelope.
Call (954) 280-4413 to schedule your free estimate. A live person answers the phone, and we’ll be there when we say. If the pane is not true, the job is not done.
