Fast, Reliable Impact Windows & Doors Across Palm Beach
Impact window and door replacement in Palm Beach runs $1,800 to $4,200 per opening for custom units, and most projects take four to six months from permit to install because ARCOM design review and manufacturer lead times set the calendar. That’s the honest answer, and it’s the first thing you should know before you start calling contractors. TruePane Windows & Doors has worked on the island since 2008, and we know the Palm Beach difference: the same window that goes in fine across the bridge in West Palm Beach will get your permit rejected here. Call (561) 264-1279 and we’ll walk you through what ARCOM needs before you spend a dollar.
Why TruePane Windows & Doors Is Palm Beach’s Preferred Impact Windows & Doors Company
Palm Beach is not West Palm Beach with nicer hedges. The Town’s Architectural Commission reviews virtually every window and door replacement on the island, which means you need a contractor who files the paperwork correctly the first time and knows what the board will actually approve. Our crews have replaced original steel casements on Mizner-era estates in the Estate Section, coordinated with architects on Worth Avenue commercial jobs, and handled oceanfront condos where salt corrosion chewed through standard hardware in three years. We understand the dual compliance burden here: Florida impact code on one side, historic design standards on the other. That’s not a process you want to learn on your own house.
We’re led by Dale Kessler, a second-generation glazier who started TruePane in 2008 with a rule he still keeps on the whiteboard: if the pane is not true, the job is not done. Every Palm Beach job gets background-checked, uniformed technicians who measure every opening twice, quote manufacturer lines side by side on paper, and register both warranty layers in writing before the truck leaves your driveway. That’s The Keystone Standard, and it applies to every window and door we set on the island. A live person answers our phone 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Call (561) 264-1279 and ask for Dale. He’ll pick up.
Our Impact Windows & Doors Services in Palm Beach
We install, replace, and service impact windows and doors across Palm Beach, with an emphasis on the custom work this island demands. Most of what we do here falls into four categories:
Hurricane Impact Windows
On Palm Beach, a replacement window has to meet Miami-Dade or Florida Building Code impact standards AND match the architectural character ARCOM is protecting. For a 1920s Mizner estate, that usually means custom impact-rated casements with divided lites and bronze or dark-finished frames, not white vinyl sliders off the shelf. We quote manufacturer lines side by side on paper, including CGI, PGT, and Marvin, so you see exactly what each option looks like and costs before you order.
Impact Sliding Glass Doors
Oceanfront and lakefront homes in Palm Beach deal with salt-laden air from both the Atlantic and the Intracoastal Waterway. That double exposure eats standard aluminum tracks and rollers fast. We specify marine-grade hardware and stainless or powder-coated tracks on impact sliders for island homes, and we insulate the frames to keep condensation off your floors in July. If your existing sliders bind or drag, call (561) 264-1279 for a free estimate on replacement.
Impact Entry & French Doors
Front entry doors on Palm Beach estates are often character-defining features, with arched tops, ornamental ironwork, and custom thresholds. ARCOM will not let you swap a carved mahogany entry for a generic fiberglass pre-hung without a fight. We order impact-rated entry and French door systems that replicate the original proportions and finish, and we coordinate directly with your architect or designer so the submittal package goes through design review without a stop-work order. Custom impact entry systems on the island typically run $4,500 to $12,000, depending on size and hardware.
Impact Garage Doors
Garage doors on Palm Beach homes face a specific problem: wind-driven salt spray from the ocean eats standard steel tracks and hinges within a few years. We install impact-rated garage doors with corrosion-resistant hardware and wind-load reinforcement that meets the Town’s code requirements. A typical impact garage door replacement in Palm Beach runs $3,800 to $8,500, and we pull the permit and coordinate any ARCOM review if your garage faces the street.
Trusted Brands We Service in Palm Beach
We’re an authorized installer for more than a dozen manufacturer lines, and on Palm Beach jobs we lean heavily on manufacturers who understand historic replication and salt-air performance. CGI and ES Windows both make impact-rated casement and fixed units with divided lites and custom frame finishes that ARCOM typically approves on Mizner-era homes. ECO Window Systems builds custom impact units for non-standard rough openings, which is what you find in most pre-1950s island construction. We hold local stock of common hardware and seals for Palm Beach jobs, so a callback doesn’t have to wait on a factory run. Our Done Right Promise covers the workmanship on every install, and both manufacturer warranty layers get registered in writing before we leave your driveway.
Common Impact Windows & Doors Problems We See in Palm Beach Homes
Forty years of island work teaches you what fails and why. Here’s what we regularly correct in Palm Beach:
- Fogged or delaminated insulated glass units. The double-sided salt air on Palm Beach accelerates seal failure in IGUs. Once the seal goes, argon leaks out and condensation lives between the panes. We replace the glass or the entire unit, depending on the frame condition.
- Corroded aluminum frames and hardware. Homes between the ocean and the Intracoastal get salt spray from both directions. Standard builder-grade aluminum pinholes and pits within five years. We spec powder-coated or anodized finishes and stainless hardware for island replacements.
- ARCOM rejections on off-the-shelf impact windows. If you bought standard white vinyl impact sliders and expected them to pass design review on a landmarked or contributing property, the permit dies at the counter. We see this weekly. The fix is custom units that match the original divided lites and frame profile.
- Original steel casements rusted shut. 1920s to 1940s estates still have original steel or bronze casement windows, and the salt air has been working on them for a century. Owners call us when the sashes won’t open or the glazing putty has crumbled. Replacement means custom impact-rated steel-look or bronze-finished units that ARCOM will accept.

FAQs - Impact Windows & Doors in Palm Beach
Yes, in most cases. The Town of Palm Beach’s Architectural Commission reviews virtually every window and door replacement on the island, even single openings, if the property is landmarked or in a historic district. The smart move is to file the ARCOM submittal at the same time as the building permit, with documentation that shows the replacement matches the original divided-lite pattern, frame material, and finish. Call (561) 264-1279 and we’ll look at your specific address and tell you exactly what the Town will require before you order anything.
No, not if the house is landmarked or contributing. ARCOM requires replacements to replicate the original aesthetic: divided lites, frame profile, and finish. Standard white vinyl impact sliders fail design review at the permit counter. You need custom impact-rated units, typically bronze-finished or steel-look casements with true divided lites. We order those from CGI, ES Windows, and similar manufacturers that build to spec. The unit cost is higher, but the alternative is a stop-work order and a second purchase. Call (561) 264-1279 for a free estimate on the correct window for your house.
Because Palm Beach is a narrow barrier island flanked by the Atlantic Ocean on the east and the Intracoastal Waterway on the west. Homes get salt-laden air from both sides simultaneously, and that salt attacks the edge seals on insulated glass units far faster than mainland exposure does. The same seal that lasts twenty years in West Palm Beach might fail in eight to twelve years on the island. We spec marine-grade IGUs with higher-quality edge seals and argon fill for Palm Beach homes, and we register the manufacturer warranty so a seal failure is covered. Call (561) 264-1279 for an assessment of your existing windows.
Four to six months from order to delivery, typically. Custom impact-rated units with ARCOM-required divided lites and custom finishes are not stock items. The factory lead time sets the schedule, not our installation crew’s availability. That’s why we start the submittal process early and coordinate the ARCOM review while the units are being built, so the permit doesn’t expire before the windows arrive. We fix your price in writing at order time. Call (561) 264-1279 and we’ll give you a realistic timeline for your specific project.
No, if they’re specified and installed correctly. On a 1920s Addison Mizner estate in the Estate Section, our crew replaced original rusted steel casement windows with custom impact-rated units featuring divided lites and bronze-finished frames to satisfy ARCOM. We installed argon-filled low-E insulated glass units to halt seal failure from salt air, coordinating with the architect to maintain the original jamb profiles and sash dimensions. The goal is a window that performs like a modern impact unit and looks like it has been there since the house was built. That’s the standard we build to on every Palm Beach job. Call (561) 264-1279 to schedule your free estimate.
