Why TruePane Windows & Doors Is Greenacres’s Preferred Window Replacement Company
Dale Kessler founded TruePane in 2008 after watching too many South Florida homeowners get fogged seals, voided warranties, and out-of-true installs treated like someone else’s problem. That founding rule, if the pane is not true, the job is not done, is the same one our crews work by on every jalousie conversion and slider swap in Greenacres. We’ve been at this trade since 2008 across the region, and we hire local, train apprentices into journeymen, and act like a company that plans to be in town in thirty years.
Greenacres homeowners tend to be careful buyers. They’ve lived in the same house for twenty years, they remember the contractor who left them with a door that binds in July, and they’re not shopping for the cheapest bid. We respect that. Our technicians are background-checked and uniformed. They measure every rough opening twice. They show you side-by-side quotes from PGT, CGI, and Simonton on paper so you see exactly what you’re buying. And our dispatch covers Greenacres locally from our South Florida office, so scheduling doesn’t wander through a regional call center.
Our Window Replacement Services in Greenacres
Full Frame Replacement
Most Greenacres homes built in the 1960s through the 1980s have original aluminum frame windows set into CBS masonry rough openings. When those frames oxidize and the glazing seals fail, a pocket insert won’t fix the underlying water intrusion around the jamb. Full frame replacement pulls the old window down to the rough opening, corrects any masonry gaps, flashes the opening properly, and sets a new unit that actually seals. For jalousie openings, this is the only path to impact compliance. A full frame replacement in Greenacres typically runs $1,100-$1,850 per opening depending on size and manufacturer line.
Insert Window Replacement
If your existing frames are square and dry, an insert window fits a new insulated glass unit inside the original frame. It costs less, installs faster, and preserves your interior trim. In Greenacres, inserts work well on homes where the aluminum frame hasn’t corroded through, but we won’t sell you an insert over a frame that’s already failing. That would just move the leak inward. Expect $650-$1,200 per insert unit installed, including new stops, caulking, and interior trim touch-up.
Impact Windows
This is the conversation that matters most in Greenacres. Your CBS home predates Florida’s post-Hurricane-Andrew building code overhaul, and Palm Beach County insurers, especially Citizens, award substantial wind-mitigation premium credits for impact-rated openings. The savings aren’t hypothetical. We replaced the original jalousie windows and 6/0 aluminum slider in a 1978 CBS home off Jog Road with custom-sized Simonton impact-rated insulated glass units, low-E glass, argon fill. The homeowners’ Citizens wind-mitigation credits cut their annual premium by over $900. Impact-rated replacement windows in Greenacres run $1,400-$2,400 per opening for standard sizes. Custom jalousie conversions cost more because the units are sized to non-standard masonry openings.
Storm Window Replacement
For homeowners not ready to invest in full impact-rated units, storm windows add a second layer of protection and can buy another few years on older frames. They’re also a reasonable stopgap on jalousie windows that can’t be retrofitted. But be clear about what a storm window is and isn’t: it will not earn you the same wind-mitigation credits as impact-rated replacements, and it won’t fix a frame that’s already corroding. In Greenacres, storm window replacement typically runs $350-$650 per unit installed, including hardware and sealing.
Energy-Efficient Upgrade
Greenacres sits several miles inland from the Atlantic, outside the Miami-Dade and Broward High-Velocity Hurricane Zone, but still subject to significant FBC wind-load requirements. The bigger daily problem is the intense afternoon west sun pumping heat through single-pane glass while summer humidity works on the seals. Low-E insulated glass units with argon fill cut solar heat gain enough to matter on your FPL bill, especially on west-facing elevations along Lake Worth Road and 10th Avenue North. Our Energy-Efficient Windows in Greenacres run $700-$1,500 per opening depending on glass package and frame material.
We’re also the Window Replacement team that handles the odd openings the big-box installers won’t touch: converted jalousie rough openings, out-of-square CBS jambs, and slider pockets sized for 6/0 aluminum doors that no longer meet code. If it’s been measured wrong once already, we’re the second opinion worth getting.

No fine print that covers neither party.
Common Window Replacement Problems We See in Greenacres Homes
- Jalousie louver frames corroded by daily humidity. The aluminum frames on 1970s jalousie windows oxidize from the inside out, and the louver clips loosen until the glass rattles in every afternoon breeze. There’s no retrofit for these. The opening gets framed down or custom-sized for a fixed or casement impact unit.
- Fogged insulated glass from west-sun seal failure. Intense afternoon sun on elevations facing west along Jog and Haverhill roads overheats the edge seals on double-pane units. The argon leaks out, condensation forms between the panes, and the window’s thermal performance is gone. Replacement is the fix, not repair.
- Masonry rough openings too narrow for standard replacements. Jalousie openings were framed narrower than typical window rough openings. A standard replacement window won’t seat properly, and the flashing tape gets folded or skipped entirely. Water finds the gap. Custom sizing is mandatory on these homes, which is exactly why big-box installers fumble them.
- Corroded 6/0 aluminum slider door frames. The original sliding glass doors on Greenacres CBS homes are single-pane, non-impact, and usually racked out of square from decades of summer humidity. They bind, they leak, and they offer zero hurricane resistance. Replacement with an impact-rated slider changes the insurance conversation immediately.

FAQs - Window Replacement in Greenacres
Yes, if you want any meaningful hurricane protection and the insurance credits that come with it. Jalousie windows cannot be retrofitted to meet any level of hurricane compliance. The louvered glass, the crank hardware, the frame design, none of it passes FBC wind-load testing. In Greenacres, where a large share of 1970s CBS homes still carry original jalousies in bathrooms, kitchens, and laundry rooms, replacement is the only path. Custom-sized impact inserts for converted jalousie openings are a niche we handle routinely. Call (954) 280-4413 to schedule a free estimate before the season turns.
Palm Beach County insurers, especially Citizens, award wind-mitigation premium credits for documented impact-rated openings. The credits are based on a uniform mitigation verification form your insurer reviews after installation. In Greenacres, we regularly see annual premium reductions of $600 to $1,200 for whole-house impact replacement, and the $900 savings from one Jog Road jalousie and slider conversion is a representative example, not an outlier. We provide the written documentation your insurer needs, and we register both manufacturer warranty layers before we leave the driveway.
You can keep it, but you’re leaving an unrated single-pane opening facing your patio, and Palm Beach County wind requirements don’t care that it hasn’t leaked yet. The original 6/0 aluminum sliders on Greenacres CBS homes are non-impact-rated and usually racked out of square from decades of heat and humidity. Even if it slides fine today, it offers zero hurricane resistance and it’s costing you insurance credits you could be earning. Replacing it with impact-rated Sliding & Patio Doors - Greenacres is usually the single highest-ROI opening on the house. Call (954) 280-4413 and we’ll quote it on paper.
That’s seal failure in your insulated glass unit. The intense afternoon west sun on Greenacres elevations facing Jog Road, Haverhill Road, and 10th Avenue North overheats the edge seals, the argon fill leaks out, and moisture condenses between the panes as the glass cools in the evening. Once the seal is gone, the window’s thermal performance is finished. There’s no repair that restores argon fill in place. Replacement of the insulated glass unit or the full window is the fix. We quote both options on paper so you can see the cost difference. Estimates are free at (954) 280-4413.
The difference is the housing stock and the insurance math. Greenacres is dominated by 1970s and 1980s CBS homes with original jalousie windows and non-impact aluminum sliders, built well before Florida’s post-Andrew code overhaul. Coastal Palm Beach has newer construction and more homes already impact-rated, but the wind-mitigation credits mean more there because coastal premiums are higher. In Greenacres, the credits are smaller in dollar terms but the homes are older and more likely to need full replacement, so the net financial case is often better. Our Greenacres customers aren’t paying coastal prices, but they’re getting the same marine-grade materials and the same written warranty registration.
