Fast, Reliable Impact Windows & Doors Across Wellington
Impact windows and doors in Wellington run roughly $1,100 to $2,000 per opening installed for standard sizes, with whole-home packages starting near $9,000. We can usually install within a single day once your custom units arrive, which for Wellington HOA-approved products typically takes four to six weeks from sign-off. If you’re staring at fogged glass on a 1990s French door or a lanai slider that binds every July afternoon, call (888) 635-0804 and we’ll walk you through what a real fix looks like.
Wellington’s housing stock is not like the rest of Palm Beach County. The master-planned communities built from the late 1970s through the early 2000s are aging in very specific ways, and the original windows and doors are usually the first place it shows. We’ve spent enough time on streets like Paddock Park Drive and the South Shore Boulevard corridor to know which failures show up in which subdivisions, and what the HOA board will and won’t accept before you even submit the paperwork.
Why TruePane Windows & Doors Is Wellington’s Preferred Impact Windows & Doors Company
Dale Kessler founded TruePane in 2008, but the glazing craft behind it goes back many years through a second-generation family tradition. We’re not a franchise operation running a playbook from another state. We hire local, train apprentices into journeymen, and carry the kind of reputation that matters in a place like Wellington, where neighbors talk over the fence line and a bad install travels faster than a good one.
Wellington customers deal with a specific set of frustrations. HOA architectural review boards here govern exterior aesthetics across dozens of gated equestrian and polo communities, and every impact window or door replacement must clear both Palm Beach County permit and HOA sign-off before a single screw gets driven. That dual-approval bottleneck doesn’t exist at the same scale in neighboring unincorporated areas. We’ve worked through it enough times to prepare the right paperwork, spec the right products, and keep the timeline honest.
Our technicians are background-checked and uniformed. They measure every opening twice. They quote manufacturer lines side by side on paper so you see exactly what you’re buying, and they register both warranty layers in writing before the truck leaves your driveway. That’s what we call the Keystone Standard, and it’s not negotiable.
Every job is backed by the Done Right Promise. If the pane isn’t true, the job isn’t done, and we make it right without paperwork fights or fine-print arguments. A live person answers our phone 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Not a voicemail tree. Not a callback form. A person. Call (888) 635-0804 and you’ll hear one.
Our Impact Windows & Doors Services in Wellington
We concentrate on the work Wellington actually needs most. Here’s what that looks like on the ground, from the equestrian estates off South Shore Boulevard to the 1980s CBS homes in Paddock Park.
Hurricane Impact Windows
Wellington sits roughly 12 to 15 miles inland from the Atlantic, which puts us in a slightly less extreme wind-speed zone than coastal Palm Beach County cities. But Florida’s impact-protection requirements still apply fully here, and a window that doesn’t carry the right Miami-Dade NOA or Florida Product Approval numbers will get bounced at permit review. We specify every unit to the opening’s design pressure, never above or below what the engineering calls for.

Impact-Resistant Windows
The original single-pane aluminum windows in Wellington’s 1980s-era homes are not just inefficient, they’re failing structurally. Daily humidity cycling from afternoon thunderstorms accelerates corrosion at the jamb and sash joints. We see pitting and flaking that eventually weakens the frame entirely. Replacing those with impact-resistant units means new laminated glass, new frames rated for the full wind load, and a window that actually opens and closes ten years from now.

Single Hung Impact Windows
Single hung units are the practical choice for Wellington’s second-story openings and bedrooms where you want a clean sightline and a lower operable sash. A typical single hung impact window here runs $900 to $1,800 per opening installed, depending on the frame material and size. Vinyl is the most common spec we quote for Wellington because it holds up against humidity without the corrosion issues aluminum brings.

Double Hung Impact Windows
Double hung units give you both sashes operable, which matters in a climate where cross-ventilation on a January afternoon can replace air conditioning entirely. On older Wellington homes with decorative transom windows and wider sightlines, double hung impact windows preserve the original look while bringing the glass up to post-Hurricane Andrew code. Custom-order dimensions are the rule here, not the exception.

What Impact Windows & Doors Costs in Wellington
Here’s what we quote in Wellington, and these are honest ranges, not teaser numbers:
- Impact windows (standard openings): $800 to $1,500 per window installed
- Impact single hung windows: $900 to $1,800 per opening
- Impact double hung windows: $1,000 to $1,900 per opening
- Large or custom openings (French doors, oversized sliders, transoms): $2,500 to $5,000 per opening
- Whole-home packages: $8,000 to $25,000 or more depending on opening count and product line
What moves the price in Wellington specifically: opening count, whether the unit is a stock size or a custom-order dimension (most pre-2000 Wellington homes are custom), floor height, wind-zone design pressure requirements, and frame material. Aluminum frames cost less up front but corrode faster in our humidity. Vinyl costs a bit more and lasts. We’ll give you the side-by-side numbers on paper. Free in-home measure. Written line-item quote. No change orders later. Call (888) 635-0804 to schedule yours.
Florida Pays You Back
There’s a stack of incentives for Wellington homeowners, and they’re worth knowing before you write a check:
- My Safe Florida Home matching grants up to $10,000 for qualifying wind-mitigation upgrades when funding rounds open.
- Florida sales-tax exemption on impact-resistant windows and doors.
- Federal 25C energy credit of 30% of product cost, up to $600 per year on qualifying units.
- Windstorm-premium credits averaging around 25% on the windstorm portion of your insurance after a wind-mitigation inspection ($75 to $150).
We don’t set the program terms and we won’t promise you a dollar figure the carrier hasn’t approved. What we will do is document the install so your wind mitigation inspector has no questions. That’s the useful part.
Trusted Brands We Service in Wellington
We’re an authorized installer for more than a dozen manufacturer lines, and we quote them side by side so you can compare what you’re actually getting. On Wellington jobs we frequently spec PGT impact products because their NOA documentation is airtight and the product holds up in our climate. We also work regularly with Therma-Tru for entry door replacements and Mr-Glass for specialized glazing. We stock common parts locally so a roller swap or a weather seal replacement doesn’t mean waiting on a freight truck from Texas.
Common Impact Windows & Doors Problems We See in Wellington Homes
- Aluminum frame corrosion on original 1980s windows. The daily humidity cycling from afternoon thunderstorms pits and flakes the aluminum at jamb and sash joints. By the time the window won’t close square, the frame is usually beyond repair.
- Fogged and delaminated insulated glass in pre-2000 homes. Intense humidity swings stress the IGU edge seals until they fail. The glass fogs from the inside, the low-E coating starts to haze, and the unit loses its insulating value.
- Oversized sliding glass lanai door failure. In communities like Versailles and Palm Beach Polo Club, the big sliders that open to the pool deck are notorious for corroded tracks and rollers. The heavy sash binds, or worse, jumps the track, which is a safety issue and a code violation.
- HOA and county permit back-and-forth. Wellington’s dual-approval requirement means a product that isn’t pre-approved for your subdivision can stall the job for weeks. We spec what the board will sign off on the first time.
How Salt Air Near Wellington Decides the Materials
Wellington is inland enough that we don’t see the aggressive salt spray of oceanfront properties, but we’re not free of it either. The Atlantic is only a dozen-plus miles east, and the sea breeze carries enough chlorides to matter over a decade. Combine that with our daily humidity cycling and you get a specific failure pattern: steel hardware rusts first, then aluminum frames pit at the screw holes and jamb tracks, then the IGU edge seals go. We see it over and over in the 1980s CBS homes around Paddock Park and the older sections near the polo grounds.
What we specify instead: stainless steel or hot-dip galvanized fasteners on every install, marine-grade finishes on hardware, and sealed joints with a sealant that flexes through our temperature swings. The coastal-spec version of a job costs more, sometimes 10 to 15 percent more than an inland-spec bid. A builder-grade aluminum window installed with zinc-plated screws and contractor-grade sealant might look fine for two years. By year seven, you’re replacing the hardware and chasing warranty coverage that doesn’t exist. The cheap spec costs more within a decade. We’d rather bid it right the first time and stand behind it.
We recently replaced a failed 1990s aluminum French door set and fogged transom on a CBS home in Paddock Park. The corroded frames and delaminated insulated glass units had to go, and the HOA required a Miami-Dade NOA impact product that matched the original sightlines. We installed PGT vinyl impact casements with laminated glass interlayer and low-E coating, and the county wind mitigation inspection passed on the first visit. That’s the kind of job Wellington hands us every week.
Wind Mitigation & HVHZ Code Compliance in Wellington
Every impact window or door we install in Wellington is spec’d to the opening’s design pressure. That number comes from the wind zone, the building height, and the size of the opening. We never quote a unit with a DP rating above what the engineering calls for, because over-spec costs you money and under-spec fails inspection.
Where HVHZ compliance applies, we match the Florida Product Approval numbers to the exact configuration going into your wall. The paperwork matters. Your county inspector checks it, your HOA may check it, and your insurance company’s wind mitigation inspector definitely checks it. We register both manufacturer warranty layers in writing before we leave the driveway, and we hand you the approval paperwork with the job card. If a question comes up later, the answer is in the file, not in an argument.
A Note on Impact Windows vs. Hurricane Shutters
Wellington homeowners sometimes ask whether shutters are the cheaper way to go. Up front, yes, shutters cost less per opening. But shutters are passive protection: someone has to be home to deploy them, they don’t insulate, and they do nothing for the fogged glass in your existing windows. Impact windows are permanent protection, always deployed, and they replace whatever failing unit you have now. If you’re already replacing the window, the incremental cost of going impact is usually smaller than most people assume. If you’re not replacing the window, shutters can make sense as a stopgap. We’ll tell you which math works for your house, not which one puts more money in our pocket. Call (888) 635-0804 for a straight answer.

FAQs - Impact Windows & Doors in Wellington
Because Wellington’s master-planned communities operate under two separate authorities. The county enforces Florida’s building code and wind-load requirements, and your HOA’s architectural review board enforces exterior appearance standards. In Wellington, that means any impact window or door replacement must clear both before work starts. The HOA typically wants the new product to match the original sightlines, frame color, and design profile, so the county’s engineering approval and the board’s aesthetic approval have to line up on the same product spec. We prepare both submissions together so one doesn’t stall the other. Call (888) 635-0804 for help with your specific subdivision’s requirements.
In a pre-1999 Wellington home with original aluminum single-pane windows, the fogged glass is usually just the visible symptom. The sealed unit has failed, but the aluminum frame is usually corroded too, and it doesn’t meet current impact code. Replacing only the glass leaves you with a non-compliant frame that will keep corroding. We recommend whole new impact units. On some homes with newer vinyl frames and a failed IGU, a glass-only replacement can work. We’ll tell you which situation you have after a free in-home look. Call (888) 635-0804.
Aluminum frames corrode from the combination of Atlantic salt air and our daily humidity cycling, pitting at the screw holes and jamb tracks within a handful of years. Vinyl doesn’t corrode. For most Wellington homes we specify vinyl impact windows with marine-grade hardware. If you need aluminum for a specific sightline requirement, we use extruded aluminum with a heavy finish and stainless fasteners, but you’ll pay more and you’ll maintain it more. Vinyl is the better value in Wellington’s climate. Call (888) 635-0804 and we’ll show you the side-by-side numbers.
Almost always custom. The oversized sliders in Versailles, Palm Beach Polo Club, and similar Wellington communities were built to non-standard dimensions that stock impact doors don’t match. An off-the-shelf unit would leave you framing in wall space you didn’t want to lose and a sightline that doesn’t match the original opening. Custom fabrication runs four to six weeks, and we’ll spec the exact design pressure your opening requires. It’s the only way to pass county wind mitigation and HOA review at the same time. Call (888) 635-0804 for a free measurement.
Most Wellington homeowners see a reduction on the windstorm portion of their premium after a wind mitigation inspection documents the impact-rated openings. The average credit runs around 25% on the windstorm line, but your carrier sets the final number. We provide the paperwork the inspector wants: Florida Product Approval sheets, design pressure ratings per opening, and installation documentation. The stack matters. That’s part of the Keystone Standard. Call (888) 635-0804 and we’ll walk you through what your policy likely needs.
