AfterFast, Reliable Window Installation Across Wellington
Window installation in Wellington, FL usually means replacing original 1980s and early 1990s aluminum sliders with code-compliant impact-rated glazing. Most Wellington homes were built before Palm Beach County adopted its post-Hurricane Andrew building standards, so those original single-pane windows carry no impact rating and have been losing their seal for decades. A full retrofit on a typical 1,800-square-foot Wellington CBS home runs $14,000 to $28,000 depending on how many openings you have and whether you’re doing impact-rated glass throughout. Our crews serve Wellington weekly and we quote every job on paper before any work starts. Call (954) 280-4413 to schedule a free estimate.
Why TruePane Windows & Doors Is Wellington’s Preferred Window Installation Company
We’ve been in Wellington enough to know which streets have the salt-driven oxidation problems and which developments enforce strict architectural rules. TruePane is led by Dale Kessler, a second-generation glazier who founded this company in 2008 on a simple rule: if the pane is not true, the job is not done. That standard applies to every Wellington install we take on, whether it’s a tract house off Greenbriar Boulevard or an estate near the polo fields.
Our Wellington customers get the same Keystone Standard on every job: both manufacturer warranty layers registered in writing, durations stated, before the truck leaves the driveway. Add the Done Right Promise and a live person who answers the phone 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, and you have a company that stands behind its work in writing. We don’t route calls to a voicemail tree. You call (954) 280-4413 and a real person picks up.
Our Window Installation Services in Wellington
Wellington’s pre-Andrew housing stock means most of what we install here falls into a few categories. Below are the four window types we handle most often in Wellington, with the local conditions that make each one relevant.
Casement Windows
Casement windows seal tighter than sliders because the sash presses against the frame when closed. That matters in Wellington, where prevailing southeast winds push salt-laden humidity against east-facing walls year-round. For homes in Equestrian Club and the higher-end developments around Palm Beach Polo, we often pair casements with impact-rated laminated glass and a bronze or white frame to match the original architecture. A standard 36-by-48 casement in Wellington runs $900 to $1,600 installed depending on whether it’s impact-rated and what the opening requires for code compliance.
Awning Windows
Awning windows hinge at the top and open outward, which makes them useful in Wellington bathrooms and kitchens where a slider would eat too much wall space. Because they seal tight when closed, they also cut down on air leakage that older aluminum sliders are notorious for. In Wellington, we install awning windows most often as part of a larger retrofit where the homeowner wants to keep a small opening but upgrade the glass and frame to meet current Palm Beach County wind-zone requirements. Expect $650 to $1,100 per opening for a standard awning unit with low-E glass.
Fixed & Picture Windows
Fixed and picture windows don’t open, but they’re often the largest glass on the house and the first place you’ll notice fogged seals or UV damage to furniture. In Wellington’s 1980s and 1990s homes, large fixed windows above garden tubs or overlooking lake views are common failure points. We replace these with impact-rated, argon-filled insulated units sized to the original rough opening, which keeps the HOA approval process simpler. A large fixed window in the 60-by-60 range runs $1,200 to $2,400 installed in Wellington depending on glass package and frame material.
Single & Double Hung Windows
Double hung windows are the most common replacement choice for Wellington bedrooms and living areas because both sashes tilt in for cleaning and the vertical opening matches the look of the original aluminum sliders better than a casement would. In newer Wellington developments that don’t demand full impact glazing, double hung units with low-E glass and insulated frames run $700 to $1,300 per window. In the older pre-Andrew sections where Palm Beach County requires impact-rated glazing or shutters, the same window with laminated impact glass runs $1,100 to $2,000 per opening.

Common Window Installation Problems We See in Wellington Homes
- Failed seals on 1990s insulated glass. In Wellington, we replace more fogged 1990s-era insulated units than anywhere else in Palm Beach County. The combination of salt-laden humidity and Florida’s UV index causes low-E coating delamination and seal failure long before the frame wears out.
- Oxidized aluminum frames. Because Wellington sits roughly 12 miles inland, homeowners often assume they’re safe from salt. They’re not. Southeast winds push Atlantic humidity across the village year-round, which is why we see heavily pitted, chalky aluminum frames on 1980s and 1990s homes off South Shore Boulevard and Greenview Shores Boulevard.
- Hardened and cracked weatherstripping. The rubber and wool pile on original builder-grade sliders hardens and cracks within a few years under Wellington’s sun. Once that weatherstripping fails, you get air leakage, water intrusion during the summer storm season, and higher cooling bills.
- Jalousie transoms and outswing French doors. Many Wellington homes have jalousie transoms above sliding doors or outswing French doors that predate current Palm Beach County high-velocity hurricane zone requirements. These openings fail code and force homeowners into full impact retrofits when they’re ready to sell or insure.
Pricing for Window Installation in Wellington, FL
Window installation in Wellington runs higher than national averages because Palm Beach County’s wind-zone designation demands impact-rated glazing on most retrofits. Here’s what we’re actually quoting in Wellington right now:
- Single double hung window (non-impact): $700 to $1,300 installed
- Single double hung window (impact-rated): $1,100 to $2,000 installed
- Casement window (impact-rated): $900 to $1,600 installed
- Fixed or picture window (impact-rated, 60×60): $1,200 to $2,400 installed
- Full-house retrofit (1,800 sq ft, 10-14 openings): $14,000 to $28,000
What moves the number most is whether you go impact-rated throughout, how many openings you have, and whether we’re dealing with a straightforward field-measure replacement or an opening that needs reframing. We quote every Wellington job with side-by-side manufacturer lines on paper, so you see exactly what you’re buying and what it costs before we order anything. Call (954) 280-4413 for a free estimate.

FAQs - Window Installation in Wellington
Yes, and this is the misconception we correct most often during Wellington estimates. Palm Beach County’s high-velocity hurricane zone applies to the entire county, not just coastal properties. Wellington’s design wind speed is around 155 mph, and your pre-Andrew windows were never tested for that. If you replace windows in Wellington, code requires impact-rated glazing or an approved shutter system on most openings. That’s not an upsell. That’s the law. Call (954) 280-4413 and we’ll show you the code requirement in writing during your estimate.
The fog means the insulated glass unit seal has failed, which means the argon fill is gone and the low-E coating may be delaminating. In most Wellington homes from that era, the frames are also oxidized from salt-laden southeast winds, so repairing the glass alone often leaves you with a failing frame. A full replacement with impact-rated, low-E units is usually the better long-term move. We’ll tell you honestly which route makes sense for your specific windows. Estimates are free.
No, window replacement does not void a builder’s structural warranty, and in Florida, builders cannot legally void a warranty because you replaced windows with code-compliant products. But your HOA’s architectural rules can require approval before you change the visible appearance. In Wellington, the original builder warranty has typically expired by the time a 1980s or 1990s home needs windows anyway. We handle the permitting and can walk you through what your specific HOA requires. Call (954) 280-4413 for guidance.
Equestrian Club and Palm Beach Polo both enforce architectural review before exterior changes, and both typically require impact-rated glazing in any new window or door. Some Wellington developments also restrict frame color, glass tint, and mullion style to keep a uniform look. We’ve worked with the architectural committees in Wellington enough to know which products get approved quickly and which get flagged. We’ll prepare the paperwork and product specs your HOA needs before you file. That’s part of the job, not an add-on.
That pitting and chalkiness is oxidation caused by salt-laden humidity carried inland by southeast winds off the Atlantic. Wellington’s inland location doesn’t protect aluminum frames from the same corrosion coastal homes see. The aluminum oxidizes, the powder coat degrades, and the frame becomes a source of air and water leakage. The fix is replacement with a frame material that doesn’t oxidize, usually vinyl or properly finished aluminum on the exterior, and we recommend units rated for coastal humidity even in inland Wellington. Call (954) 280-4413 for an exact quote on your specific openings.
Focus on Wellington Builders and HOAs
Wellington’s homes fall into two buckets. The 1980s and early 1990s CBS tract homes off Greenbriar Boulevard and South Shore Boulevard, which are almost entirely original windows at this point, and the newer planned communities and equestrian estates around Palm Beach Polo and Equestrian Club, which often have stricter architectural rules and newer builder-grade products that are still being worked through. If you own a pre-Andrew Wellington home, the priority is clear: original aluminum sliders with no impact rating should be replaced first, because they’re leaking air, failing code, and driving up your cooling costs. If you own a newer Wellington home, the question is usually which builder-grade vinyl units are worth upgrading and which are fine as-is. We’ll tell you straight. That’s what years of community service and a Done Right Promise get you: a straight answer, on paper, before you spend a dollar.
Dale Kessler keeps one rule on the whiteboard at our shop: if the pane is not true, the job is not done. Our Wellington crews work to that standard on every opening, from the first field measure to the final flashing tape on the jambs. Call (954) 280-4413 to schedule your free estimate. A live person answers, every time, day or night.
