Replacing windows and doors on Palm Beach island comes with a set of rules most Florida contractors never have to think about. Historic review boards, salt-air corrosion, and impact-rating requirements that must match the original sightlines of Mizner-era openings all collide on a single job. TruePane Windows & Doors has worked through enough of these projects to know which manufacturers clear ARCOM review and which ones get sent back. If you’re wrestling with a fogged casement on Via Mizner or a door that binds every July on South County Road, call (888) 635-0804 and talk to someone who knows the island.
This page covers what Palm Beach homeowners should expect from window and door work here, what it costs, and why the right installer matters more on this barrier island than anywhere else in the county.

Why Palm Beach Homeowners Choose TruePane Windows & Doors
TruePane was founded by second-generation glazier Dale Kessler, and the company runs on a simple rule that has held since 2008 of community service: if the pane is not true, the job is not done. Homeowners in El Cid and the Estate Section do not want a franchise crew that learned impact installation from a manual. They want a company that measures every opening twice, quotes manufacturer lines side by side on paper, and registers both warranty layers before the truck leaves the driveway.
Every job is backed by the Done Right Promise, which means if something is out of square, out of level, or out of true, we make it right without paperwork fights or fine print. Our technicians are background-checked, uniformed, and trained to work in a Palm Beach home the way they would work in their own mother’s house. We hold authorized installer status with more than a dozen manufacturer lines, including, PGT, and CGI, so you see exactly what you are buying side by side on paper before you commit.
A live person answers the phone 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Not a voicemail tree. Not a callback form. Call (888) 635-0804 and a human picks up.
Windows & Doors Services We Offer in Palm Beach
Window Installation
New window installation in Palm Beach means measuring arched openings, matching sightlines on landmark properties, and setting units square the first time. We install wood, fiberglass, aluminum, and vinyl lines with design pressures matched to each opening, never a rating above +/-100. Learn more about our Window Installation in Palm Beach.
Door Installation
Front doors, loggia doors, and service entries on Palm Beach estates take a beating from salt and sun. We install Therma-Tru and other manufacturer lines with thresholds that clear, hardware that closes dead-square, and weatherstripping that holds against the ocean wind. Learn more about our Door Installation in Palm Beach.
Window Replacement
Window replacement on the island often means pulling original steel casements or old-growth wood sashes and matching profiles while hitting Florida Building Code wind-borne debris requirements. We handle the ARCOM paperwork, the structural anchoring, and the finish work so the new units look like they belong. Learn more about our Window Replacement in Palm Beach.
Impact Windows & Doors
Impact is the flagship line in Palm Beach, where every opening faces the Atlantic. We supply laminated-glass units with Miami-Dade NOA or Florida Product Approval per configuration, HVHZ compliance where the wind zone requires it, and design pressures matched to the actual opening, not a generic rating applied across the house. Window Installation in Palm Beach covers the full process.
Energy-Efficient Windows
Low-E coatings, argon fills, and thermally broken frames reduce cooling load on island homes where the AC runs ten months a year. Expect energy savings in the 20 to 30 percent range on cooling with properly specified units. Learn more about our Window Replacement in Palm Beach.
Sliding & Patio Doors
Sliding glass and patio doors on ocean-side elevations take the worst of the salt spray. We service and replace tracks, rollers, and whole units with impact-rated glass and hardware built for coastal exposure. Learn more about our Door Installation in Palm Beach.
Glass Railing Systems
Glass railing systems on terraces, balconies, and pool decks need to be code-compliant and corrosion-resistant. We supply and install tempered and laminated panels with hardware that will not rust out in the salt air. See the full scope under Window Installation in Palm Beach.
Custom Windows & Doors
Arched openings, Palladian profiles, and odd-sized loggia doors are not stock items at a big-box store. We order custom units cut to the opening, with muntin profiles and frame depths matched to the original architecture. Learn more about our Door Installation in Palm Beach.

Why Palm Beach’s Climate & Housing Affect Windows & Doors
Palm Beach sits on a narrow Atlantic barrier island, and the housing stock reflects both the location and a specific era of architecture. Dominated by Mediterranean Revival and Spanish Colonial estates designed by Addison Mizner and his contemporaries in the 1920s through 1940s, the town’s roughly 3,000 residences feature arched openings, Palladian profiles, loggia doors, and original steel casement or old-growth wood windows. A significant share of those homes carry landmark or contributing-structure designations, which means window and door replacement is a custom-profile exercise, not a standard swap.
The Landmarks Preservation Commission and Architectural Commission, ARCOM for short, require that window and door replacements on designated historic and contributing structures replicate original profiles. That means sourcing impact-rated units that match the slim sightlines of 1920s-30s Mizner-era steel casements. It is a dual compliance burden: historic aesthetics AND Florida coastal wind-borne debris codes. Modern aluminum impact frames are frequently too wide to clear ARCOM review, so local contractors who succeed on the island stock slim-profile fiberglass or thermally broken aluminum impact lines specifically to clear that aesthetic review. Mainland installers simply do not carry those lines.
Salt spray is the second local factor. East-facing ocean-side elevations get hammered by Atlantic air that oxidizes aluminum frames, hardware, and weatherstripping faster than anywhere else in the county. A door or window that would last twenty years a few miles inland will show corrosion on the island in half that time. We specify marine-grade hardware and finishes for ocean-side openings because the alternative is a callback in five years when the rollers seize and the sash will not slide.
Impact rating is the third layer. Direct coastal exposure means virtually every replacement moves toward laminated-glass impact units compliant with Florida Building Code wind-borne debris provisions. Not all impact glass is the same. The thickness of the laminate, the framing system, and the design pressure all matter, and we match all three to the actual opening rather than selling a generic hurricane product.
Pricing for Windows & Doors in Palm Beach
Honest numbers matter, so here is what Palm Beach homeowners can expect. Standard impact window replacement typically runs $850 to $1,800 per opening, depending on size, frame material, and design pressure. A custom arched casement on a landmark property with ARCOM-mandated slim sightlines can run higher, largely due to the specialty frame profiles required to clear review. Entry door replacement with impact glazing generally falls between $3,500 and $8,000. Sliding glass door replacement runs $4,500 to $12,000 installed. Custom loggia doors with historic profiles are quoted per project. We provide written line-item quotes before work starts, and the price on the quote is the price on the bill. No surprise line items, no change orders you did not authorize. Call (888) 635-0804 for a free estimate.

Impact Windows vs. Hurricane Shutters in Palm Beach
Palm Beach homeowners often weigh impact windows against hurricane shutters when first reviewing options. Impact windows are permanent protection. There are no panels to haul out of the garage, no tracks to maintain, no corrugated steel to stack when a storm watch goes up. They are in place before, during, and after the storm, and they protect your home year-round from the slower daily damage of salt and UV. Shutters cost less upfront, but they only work when someone is home to hang them, and they do nothing for corrosion or energy efficiency. For snowbirds and seasonal residents on the island, impact windows are the practical choice because the house is protected even when no one is there. We are happy to quote both paths so the comparison is on paper in front of you.
Florida Pays Palm Beach Homeowners Back
The state and federal incentives for impact-rated windows and doors stack in ways that can meaningfully reduce the real cost of a Palm Beach installation. My Safe Florida Home matching grants offer up to $10,000 for qualifying wind-mitigation upgrades, subject to state funding availability and program conditions. Florida’s sales-tax exemption applies to impact-resistant windows and doors, so the tax line on qualifying units drops to zero. The federal 25C energy credit covers 30 percent of product cost on qualifying units, up to $600 per year. And after a wind-mitigation inspection, which typically costs $75 to $150, most Palm Beach homeowners see windstorm-premium credits averaging around 25 percent on the windstorm portion of their policy. Programs and carriers set the final numbers, so we will not guarantee an amount, but we will show you how the math works on your specific job.

What Palm Beach Customers Say
"Two entry doors. Showed up when they said, second day was a half day like they said, and the painter they recommended confirmed the frames were dead plumb. The financing was explained in actual dollars, not a brochure."
- Janet R."Impact windows on the whole house. They handled the permit, the inspection, and gave me a folder with every approval number for the insurance company. My windstorm premium dropped enough to notice."
- Bill T."Whole-house window replacement at 71 years old is not something you want to do twice. Dale walked the house himself for the quote. Crew was the same three men all four days, and the foreman knew every window by room."
- Pat and Ray L.
