AfterFast, Reliable Window Replacement Across Boca Raton
Window replacement in Boca Raton runs $800-$1,500 per impact-rated unit installed, with whole-home packages ranging from $8,000 to $25,000+ depending on opening count, frame material, and HOA requirements. In Boca’s Arvida-built communities, expect an additional 3-6 weeks up front for Architectural Review Committee approval before your permit can even be submitted. Call TruePane Windows & Doors at (888) 635-0804 and we’ll walk you through the process from first measure to final inspection.
We know Boca Raton’s housing stock better than most because we’ve been pulling original 1970s and 80s aluminum frames out of these homes for years. The salt air off the Atlantic does not treat them kindly, and neither does the Florida Building Code, which now demands impact-rated glazing most of those frames were never engineered to hold. Our Window Replacement team has handled everything from single-sash swaps in Boca West villas to full-home teardowns in Woodfield Country Club, and we understand what each job actually costs, what the HOA will require, and what the city will inspect.
Why TruePane Windows & Doors Is Boca Raton’s Preferred Window Replacement Company
Our reputation in Boca Raton comes from doing the job right the first time and standing behind it in writing. We’ve replaced original Arvida aluminum windows in 33433, 33434, and 33486, worked with more than a dozen HOA Architectural Review Committees, and pulled permits through the City of Boca Raton enough times to know exactly what the building department checks. Homeowners around Woodfield, Broken Sound, and St. Andrews keep our number because we show up when we say, measure every opening twice, and put both warranty layers in writing before the truck leaves the driveway.
Every job is covered by the Done Right Promise. If something is not right, we make it right, no paperwork fights and no fine print that covers neither. That’s The Keystone Standard, and it applies to every frame we set in Boca Raton.
Dale Kessler founded this company on a simple rule: if the pane is not true, the job is not done. That rule governs how our background-checked, uniformed technicians work in your home, from the first rough-opening inspection to the final bead of sealant. We’re not the cheapest bid in Palm Beach County, and we’re not trying to be. We’re the company you call when you want the work done once and the phone answered if you ever have a question.
And yes, a live person answers our phone 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Not a voicemail tree. Not a call center in another state. A person who knows windows and knows Boca Raton.
Our Window Replacement Services in Boca Raton
Full Frame Replacement
Full frame replacement means pulling the entire old window unit, frame and all, down to the rough opening. In Boca Raton, this is the service we recommend most often for original Arvida homes because 40-year-old aluminum frames hide problems you cannot see from the outside: rotted wood bucks, undersized studs, and flashing that was never meant to handle 150 mph wind loads. We rebuild the opening to current code, set the new impact-rated frame, and flash it properly against the coastal rain that drives sideways off the Atlantic. In the Woodfield Country Club area of 33434, we recently replaced a full house of 1980s aluminum single-hungs, rebuilt undersized rough openings to meet current design pressure requirements, and installed PGT impact-rated casements with Miami-Dade NOA approval, all after the HOA signed off on the bronze finish and narrow grille profile.
Insert Window Replacement
If your existing frames are square, solid, and not corroded through, an insert replacement can save labor and keep the job to a single day per opening. We measure the existing frame to the sixteenth of an inch and build the new sashes to fit. Inserts work well in newer Boca Raton construction and in condos where the HOA or building department limits exterior modification. But we always check the rough opening first. A frame that looks fine from inside is sometimes holding on by nothing but paint once you’re 500 yards from the ocean.
Vinyl Replacement Windows
Vinyl makes sense for many Boca Raton homes because it shrugs off salt air that eats aluminum. It will not pit, corrode, or need repainting, and the thermal performance is strong for the price. We install vinyl from ECO Window Systems and ViewLux, among others, and we’ll put the quotes side by side on paper so you see exactly what each line item costs. One caution: not every vinyl unit is impact-rated, and in Boca’s coastal high-wind zone, any exterior opening needs glazing that meets Florida Building Code. We will not sell you a non-compliant window for an exterior opening. That is a failed inspection and a wasted check.
Energy-Efficient Upgrade
Replacing old single-pane aluminum with double-pane, low-E, argon-filled glazing changes how a Boca Raton home feels in August. The air-conditioning stops fighting the windows. Rooms on the east side of the house cool down before noon, and the electric bill moves. In a climate where the air conditioner runs nine months a year, the efficiency gain is real money. The federal 25C credit returns 30% of product cost on qualifying units, up to $600 per year, and we register the paperwork so you can claim what you’re owed.
Window Maintenance & Care
Not every window problem calls for a full replacement. We service what we install and plenty we did not: track cleaning, hardware replacement, seal inspection, weep hole clearing, and glazing bead repair. our maintenance check keeps Boca Raton homeowners ahead of the salt air and lets us catch small problems before they become full-frame failures. Call us and we’ll take a look.

Common Window Replacement Problems We See in Boca Raton Homes
- Corroded original aluminum frames. The onshore salt air in Boca Raton is far more concentrated than even 20 miles inland in western Palm Beach County. Standard aluminum frames and hardware corrode at a rate that makes repair uneconomical on any frame older than 15-20 years.
- HOA Architectural Review Committee rejections. Submitting a window that does not match the community’s exact frame color, tint level, or grille pattern delays the job 3-6 weeks and requires a resubmission. We photograph the ARC guidelines and match them before we file.
- Hidden rough-opening damage. Forty-year-old aluminum frames in coastal salt air often hide rotted wood bucks or undersized studs that fail modern wind-load calculations once the old unit comes out. We inspect the opening before we quote so there are no surprises on the bill.
- Improper HVHZ glazing selection. Using a non-impact insulated glass unit in a 150 mph wind zone fails Palm Beach County inspection and forces a tear-out. We match design pressures to the opening and verify Florida Product Approval numbers for every unit before ordering.
Pricing for Window Replacement in Boca Raton, FL
Impact windows in Boca Raton generally run $800-$1,500 per window installed. Impact single-hungs land between $900 and $1,800. Large or custom openings, like a picture window or a sliding glass door, run $2,500-$5,000. Whole-home packages start around $8,000 and go past $25,000 on custom or high-floor work. What moves the price in Boca Raton is the opening count, the wind zone, the floor height, the frame material, and whether your HOA’s ARC requires a specific finish or profile. You’ll get a written line-item quote before you sign anything, and we do not change the number once the contract is signed unless you approve it in writing first.
What Window Replacement Costs in Boca Raton
Here’s the honest math. A standard impact window, installed, runs $800-$1,500. That includes the tear-out, the new unit with Miami-Dade NOA documentation, the flashing, the interior trim, and the haul-away. Larger or custom openings, second-floor work, and units with specific HOA-mandated finishes push the number toward $2,500-$5,000 per opening. Whole-home packages run from $8,000 on a modest three-bedroom to over $25,000 for a large two-story with multiple sliders and transoms. We measure every opening twice, quote manufacturer lines side by side on paper, and register both warranty layers before the truck leaves the driveway. Call (888) 635-0804 for a free in-home measure and a written quote. No surprises on the bill, and no second appointment left hanging.
Florida Pays You Back
Boca Raton homeowners can stack three separate incentives on a qualifying impact window project. My Safe Florida Home offers matching grants up to $10,000 for wind-mitigation upgrades for eligible homeowners. Florida exempts impact-resistant windows and doors from sales tax. The federal 25C energy credit returns 30% of product cost on qualifying units, up to $600 per year. After a wind-mitigation inspection, which typically costs $75-$150, many Boca Raton homeowners also see a windstorm premium credit averaging around 25% on the windstorm portion of their policy. Those are real numbers, but programs and insurance carriers set the final figures, so we’ll point you to the right resources and you confirm with them before relying on any credit.
One comparison worth making: impact windows versus hurricane shutters. Shutters cost less up front, but they only work when someone is home to put them up, and a storm does not send a calendar invite. Impact windows protect your house permanently, with no panels to hang and nothing to forget when the weather turns. For a Boca Raton homeowner who plans to stay in the house, the math usually favors permanent protection.
Trusted Brands We Service in Boca Raton
TruePane is an authorized installer for more than a dozen manufacturer lines, including, PGT, and CGI. For Boca Raton’s coastal wind zone, we frequently quote PGT and CGI impact lines because their Florida Product Approval documentation is straightforward and their Miami-Dade NOA test results exceed what most Boca Raton openings require. We also work with ECO Window Systems and ViewLux for vinyl work where impact glazing is not mandatory. We quote manufacturer lines side by side on paper, so you can read exactly what each brand costs and what each warranty covers. And when you call (888) 635-0804, you’ll talk to a person who can explain the difference between a delamination warranty and a hurricane glass breakage warranty, because we register both layers in writing on every job.
Boca Raton’s HOA Reality and Why It Changes Your Timeline
If you live in one of Boca Raton’s many HOA-governed Arvida communities, your window replacement project runs through an Architectural Review Committee before the City of Boca Raton ever sees a permit application. Each community’s ARC dictates exact frame color, glass tint level, and grille pattern. Boca West, Broken Sound, Woodfield Country Club, St. Andrews, each has its own standards. Submit a window that does not match and you’ll burn 3-6 weeks on a resubmission. This hurdle does not exist in non-HOA neighboring cities like Boynton Beach, which is why a contractor who works Delray and Pompano primarily may not appreciate what it does to your schedule. We do. We pull the ARC guidelines at the first site visit, match the finish and profile to the letter, and file the resubmission-proof package the first time. That alone can save you a month.
We Also Serve Cities Near Boca Raton
TruePane crews work throughout southern Palm Beach and northern Broward. We serve Delray Beach, Pompano Beach, Margate, and Boynton Beach with the same written quotes and the same Done Right Promise. If you’re in one of those cities and want a second opinion on a quote, call us. If you are reading this from a neighbor’s kitchen table in Boca, the service works both ways.

FAQs - Window Replacement in Boca Raton
Yes, if your community is HOA-governed, the Architectural Review Committee will likely add 3-6 weeks to your timeline before the permit is even submitted. The ARC dictates exact frame color, tint, and grille pattern, and a submission that does not match gets rejected and resubmitted. We pull the guidelines at the first visit and file a matching package the first time, which keeps the HOA step from becoming the bottleneck. Call (888) 635-0804 and we’ll tell you what your specific community requires.
For new construction and most full replacements in Boca Raton’s coastal high-wind zone, the Florida Building Code requires impact-rated glazing or an approved alternative. Shutters satisfy code in many retrofit situations, but they only protect when someone is there to deploy them, and they do not stop daily heat gain. Impact windows protect permanently and qualify for insurance credits that shutters may not. We’ll check your specific openings and tell you exactly what code requires.
Because the Atlantic salt air is far more concentrated on the coast than it is 20 miles west. Aluminum frames within a few miles of the ocean pit and corrode at a rate that inland frames never experience, and 1980s frames were not built with modern corrosion-resistant coatings. In most cases, the hardware comes apart when you try to repair it, which is why we usually recommend full frame replacement once the corrosion is visible. A free inspection call is all it takes to know for sure.
We document it, price the repair in writing, and get your approval before we touch it. We do not open a wall and then hit you with a change order. That said, be prepared: in original Arvida homes from the 1970s and 80s, we find rotted wood bucks or undersized framing in roughly half the openings we pull. The wind-load calculations changed after Hurricane Andrew, and the old framing often does not meet current requirements. We rebuild the opening to code and show you the before and after.
Once the ARC approves the design and the city issues the permit, installation is typically done in as fast as a single day per opening once your units arrive. Custom fabrication runs 4-6 weeks from order. The variable that surprises most Boca Raton homeowners is the HOA review, which can add a month before installation even begins. We map the whole timeline at your first estimate so you know exactly when the job starts and when it finishes.
