AfterWindows & Doors in West Palm Beach, FL
Window installation in West Palm Beach is driven by two forces most remodelers never face: mid-century concrete-block homes with original jalousie windows, and insurance carriers that won’t renew a policy unless every opening is impact-rated. A standard replacement here is rarely standard. The block construction, salt air off the Lake Worth Lagoon, and coastal wind speeds of 140-155 mph change how we anchor frames, what we specify, and why we write every price down before a single tool comes off the truck. Call (509) 265-6387 for a written estimate.
Why West Palm Beach Homes Are Different
The dominant housing stock in West Palm Beach is CBS, concrete block structure, from the 1940s through the 1970s. Stucco-clad block walls in neighborhoods like El Cid, Flamingo Park, and Grandview Heights mean a window replacement involves masonry anchoring, foam-backer rod and sealant detailing at the rough opening, and stucco patching. That adds labor and materials compared to a wood-frame house in a northern market. Many of these homes still carry original jalousie windows, which offer essentially zero wind resistance and are the most common trigger for insurer-mandated upgrades.
Salt-laden air from the Intracoastal Waterway corrodes unprotected aluminum frames and door thresholds year-round. Anything less than marine-grade or PVC-capped aluminum will fail visibly within a few seasons. And there is a code distinction that matters here: Palm Beach County sits outside the Miami-Dade/Broward High-Velocity Hurricane Zone, so West Palm Beach projects work under Florida Product Approval, or FL numbers, not Miami-Dade NOA. Out-of-county crews get this wrong. We do not.
Our Main West Palm Beach Services
Two services account for most of the calls we take from West Palm Beach homeowners: full door replacement and window replacement across the existing CBS housing stock. Each has its own page here with local pricing and the specific conditions that apply.
Door Installation in West Palm Beach
Doors here take a beating from salt, sun, and storm pressure. We install entry doors, hinged patio doors, and sliding units with proper flashing, threshold sealing, and anchoring suited to concrete-block openings. Homeowners in El Cid and Flamingo Park often discover rotted wood jambs or corroded thresholds once the old unit comes out, which changes the scope. The written quote addresses that up front, not as a surprise change order. Read the full local breakdown on our Door Installation in West Palm Beach page.
Window Replacement in West Palm Beach
Replacing windows in West Palm Beach means dealing with jalousie openings cut into CBS walls, often 50 or 60 years old. We measure each rough opening, document frame readings, and specify replacement units that fit the block conditions rather than forcing a stock size. Impact-rated glazing is the default conversation because insurance companies drive it. Get the full scope on the Window Replacement in West Palm Beach page, including local price ranges.

BeforeAfterWindow Installation in West Palm Beach
Window installation in West Palm Beach usually means pulling a set of original jalousie or single-pane aluminum units out of a concrete-block wall and replacing them with modern, impact-rated windows that an insurer will actually accept. The masonry substrate, salt exposure, and code requirements shape every decision from frame material to anchoring method. For the complete service breakdown across all window types, see our Window Installation hub.
Single & Double Hung Windows
Signs you need it
You feel drafts around the sash, the window sticks or falls when you open it, or the frame shows visible corrosion at the corners.
What it costs in West Palm Beach
Single hung units in West Palm Beach typically range from $450-$900 per window installed; double hung units run $600-$1,200 per window installed.
How we do it
We measure the existing rough opening, remove the old jalousie or aluminum unit, install the new hung window with masonry anchors suited to CBS block, and seal and patch stucco around the opening.
Casement Windows
Signs you need it
The crank mechanism is seized from salt corrosion, or the window no longer seals tight against the frame when closed.
What it costs in West Palm Beach
Casement windows in West Palm Beach typically run $650-$1,500 per window installed, depending on size and impact rating.
How we do it
We order the unit with stainless steel hardware for coastal salt exposure, set it into the block opening with proper shimming, and seal the perimeter with backer rod and marine-grade sealant before stucco patching.
Awning & Hopper Windows
Signs you need it
Bath or kitchen windows with corroded hinges, fogged glass, or water staining under the sill after heavy rain.
What it costs in West Palm Beach
Awning and hopper windows in West Palm Beach typically run $400-$900 per window installed; impact-rated versions run higher.
How we do it
We measure the full opening including depth, verify the sill slope drains outward, install the new unit with the correct flashing sequence, and document the finished work with photo evidence.
What Window Installation Costs in West Palm Beach
| Item | Typical range in West Palm Beach |
|---|---|
| Single hung window (installed) | $450-$900 |
| Double hung window (installed) | $600-$1,200 |
| Casement window (installed) | $650-$1,500 |
How long does window installation take in West Palm Beach?
Most single-room window replacements finish in one day per four to six openings. Full-house replacements on CBS homes typically take two to three days, including stucco patching.
Do I need impact windows for a West Palm Beach home?
If your insurer has asked about opening protection or offered a wind mitigation discount, yes. Impact-rated or approved storm panels are required on all replacement openings under the Florida Building Code. Call (509) 265-6387 to talk through what your house actually needs.
Impact Windows & Doors in West Palm Beach
Impact windows and doors in West Palm Beach are not a luxury upsell. They are the difference between a Citizens Insurance renewal and a cancellation letter. Homes with documented opening protection earn the ‘opening protection - all openings’ credit on the OIR-B1-1802 wind mitigation form, which can cut an annual premium by $1,500-$3,000. For the full product line and code specifics, see our Impact Windows & Doors hub.
Impact-Resistant Windows
Signs you need it
Your current windows are jalousie or single-pane aluminum, or your insurer has sent a non-renewal notice tied to opening protection.
What it costs in West Palm Beach
Impact-resistant windows in West Palm Beach typically run $700-$1,800 per window installed, depending on size and Florida Product Approval listing.
How we do it
We measure each opening, specify an FL-approved product from PGT or similar, anchor into the CBS block, install with the required glazing tape, and document the installation for your wind mitigation file.
Double Hung Impact Windows
Signs you need it
You want the look of a traditional double hung but need the wind rating your insurance carrier requires.
What it costs in West Palm Beach
Double hung impact windows in West Palm Beach typically run $750-$1,700 per window installed, with larger sizes at the upper end.
How we do it
We quote the specific FL product approval number on the written estimate, install the sashes and laminated glass into the existing block opening, and attach the documentation you need for the insurance credit.
What Impact Windows & Doors Costs in West Palm Beach
| Item | Typical range in West Palm Beach |
|---|---|
| Impact-resistant window (installed) | $700-$1,800 |
| Double hung impact window (installed) | $750-$1,700 |
| Impact door or patio unit (installed) | $1,500-$4,500 |
Will impact windows actually lower my West Palm Beach insurance bill?
A properly installed and documented set of impact windows can earn the full opening protection credit on the OIR-B1-1802 form, often cutting premiums by $1,500-$3,000 annually. We give you the documentation your insurer requires. Call (509) 265-6387 for a written estimate.
What is the difference between FL product approval and Miami-Dade NOA?
West Palm Beach falls outside the HVHZ, so contractors here work under Florida Product Approval numbers rather than Miami-Dade NOA. We specify products with valid FL numbers for every opening.
Energy-Efficient Windows in West Palm Beach
Energy-efficient windows in West Palm Beach are about cooling load, not heating. The sun beats on glass and concrete block more than nine months a year, and a low U-factor with the right solar heat gain coefficient cuts AC run time and protects interiors from UV fade. Salt air means the frame material matters as much as the glass. See the full Energy-Efficient Windows hub for product breakdowns.
Low-E & Argon Gas Glass
Signs you need it
Rooms on the east or west side of the house heat up noticeably in the afternoon, or fabric and wood flooring near windows is fading.
What it costs in West Palm Beach
Low-E argon windows in West Palm Beach typically run $500-$1,200 per window installed, depending on frame material and impact rating.
How we do it
We specify a Low-E coating tuned for South Florida’s cooling-dominant climate, with argon fill where the framing system supports it, then install with full perimeter sealant.
Solar & Tinted Glass Options
Signs you need it
You have large fixed or picture windows facing south or west that make the room uncomfortable during the day.
What it costs in West Palm Beach
Solar and tinted glass packages in West Palm Beach typically add $100-$300 per window over standard glazing.
How we do it
We match the tint or solar coating to your SHGC target, quote it as a line item on the written estimate, and verify the installed glass performance with the manufacturer’s sticker documentation.
What Energy-Efficient Windows Costs in West Palm Beach
| Item | Typical range in West Palm Beach |
|---|---|
| Low-E window (installed) | $500-$1,200 |
| Solar or tinted glass upgrade | $100-$300 per window |
| Impact + Low-E combination (installed) | $800-$1,900 |
What is a good U-factor for West Palm Beach windows?
In a cooling-dominant climate, target a U-factor of 0.30 or lower and an SHGC around 0.25 or lower. Low-E glass with those numbers cuts heat gain without making rooms dark.
Do energy-efficient windows qualify for rebates in West Palm Beach?
Rebate programs shift by year and utility provider. What stays constant is the cooling cost reduction from proper Low-E glazing air-sealed into block openings. Call (509) 265-6387 and we will show you the numbers on paper first.
Sliding & Patio Doors in West Palm Beach
Sliding and patio doors in West Palm Beach fail for predictable reasons: track corrosion from salt air, worn rollers that make the panel heavy, and water intrusion at the threshold after heavy afternoon rain. On CBS homes, the track often sits directly on the slab, which makes flashing and sill slope the difference between a dry floor and a recurring repair. See the full Sliding & Patio Doors hub for options.
Patio Doors
Signs you need it
The door sticks or grinds on the track, the frame shows white corrosion at the bottom corners, or water pools inside the threshold after rain.
What it costs in West Palm Beach
Patio door replacement in West Palm Beach typically runs $1,500-$4,500 per unit installed, depending on width and impact rating.
How we do it
We measure the slab opening, check the sill slope with a level, remove the old track and panel, install the new unit with stainless steel hardware, and flash the threshold to shed water outward.
Impact Sliding Glass Doors
Signs you need it
Your current sliding door is non-impact in a home that has already been flagged by an insurer for opening protection.
What it costs in West Palm Beach
Impact sliding glass doors in West Palm Beach typically run $2,500-$6,000 per unit installed, with three-panel units at the upper end.
How we do it
We order the door with the correct Florida Product Approval number, anchor the frame to the slab and side jambs, install laminated impact glass, and hand you the documentation for your wind mitigation file.
What Sliding & Patio Doors Costs in West Palm Beach
| Item | Typical range in West Palm Beach |
|---|---|
| Patio door replacement (installed) | $1,500-$4,500 |
| Impact sliding glass door (installed) | $2,500-$6,000 |
| Screen door addition | $150-$400 |
Can you fix a sliding door track instead of replacing the whole unit?
Sometimes. If the frame is sound and the panel is intact, we can replace rollers, clean the track, and reseal the threshold. Salt corrosion on the frame itself usually means a full replacement is the better value. Call (509) 265-6387 for an honest assessment.
How long does a patio door install take in West Palm Beach?
Most sliding door replacements take one day, including old unit removal, new door installation, flashing, and clean-up. Larger multi-panel units can run into a second morning.
Impact Garage Doors in West Palm Beach
Impact garage doors in West Palm Beach protect the largest single opening in a CBS home. A wind-load failure at the garage door can pressurize the whole house and blow the roof structure, which is why the Florida Building Code treats garage doors as part of the opening protection system. Older homes in Flamingo Park and Grandview Heights often have thin, non-rated doors that an insurer will flag quickly. See the Impact Garage Doors hub for product listings.
Hurricane-Rated Garage Doors
Signs you need it
Your current garage door is a single-layer steel pan with visible flex when you push on it, or your wind mitigation form shows no rating for the garage opening.
What it costs in West Palm Beach
Hurricane-rated garage doors in West Palm Beach typically run $1,800-$5,500 installed, depending on width, reinforcement, and track type.
How we do it
We measure the opening including headroom and side clearance, order a wind-load-rated door matched to your county’s design pressure requirements, install reinforced tracks and bracing, and document the installation for your inspection.
Wind-Load Code Compliance
Signs you need it
You are purchasing a home and the inspection report notes that the garage door is not rated, or your current door is held together with visible rust at the hinges.
What it costs in West Palm Beach
Code-compliance retrofits on existing garage doors in West Palm Beach typically run $400-$1,200, depending on the door’s current condition; full replacements start around $1,800.
How we do it
We assess the door and opening against the Florida Building Code’s design pressure requirements, then either reinforce the existing door where it qualifies or replace it with a rated unit, with the product approval number on the written quote.
What Impact Garage Doors Costs in West Palm Beach
| Item | Typical range in West Palm Beach |
|---|---|
| Hurricane-rated garage door (installed) | $1,800-$5,500 |
| Wind-load compliance retrofit | $400-$1,200 |
| Full garage door replacement | $1,800-$5,500 |
Do I need a permit for an impact garage door in West Palm Beach?
Yes. The Florida Building Code treats garage doors as part of the structural opening protection system, so a permit and inspection are required. We pull the permit and handle the inspection on every job.
Will an impact garage door help my wind mitigation credit?
A wind-load-rated garage door is one of the largest single items on the OIR-B1-1802 form. Documenting it correctly can move your premium discount significantly. Call (509) 265-6387 for a written price.
Custom & Geometric Windows in West Palm Beach
Custom and geometric windows in West Palm Beach often show up on mid-century and Mediterranean revival homes where the original opening was not a standard rectangle. Arches, half-rounds, and oversized fixed panes need to be measured, fabricated, and anchored differently than a stock double hung. On CBS walls, the rough opening itself is sometimes not square after 60 years of settling. See the Custom & Geometric Windows hub for fabrication options.
Custom Impact Windows
Signs you need it
You have a non-standard opening, an arch, or a fixed picture window that an insurer has flagged because no stock impact unit fits it.
What it costs in West Palm Beach
Custom impact windows in West Palm Beach typically run $1,000-$3,000 per unit installed, with oversized or complex shapes at the upper end.
How we do it
We take exact sightline measurements, specify the unit through one of our fabrication partners, install with the correct anchoring for the block opening, and provide the Florida Product Approval documentation.
Arched & Curved Windows
Signs you need it
The existing arched window has a rotted frame or cracked glass, or the sealant around the curve is pulling away from the stucco.
What it costs in West Palm Beach
Arched and curved windows in West Palm Beach typically run $1,200-$3,500 per unit installed, depending on radius and width.
How we do it
We template the existing curve, order the unit with the matching radius, install with curved flashing at the head, and seal the perimeter against wind-driven rain.
What Custom & Geometric Windows Costs in West Palm Beach
| Item | Typical range in West Palm Beach |
|---|---|
| Custom impact window (installed) | $1,000-$3,000 |
| Arched window (installed) | $1,200-$3,500 |
| Oversized fixed or picture window (installed) | $1,500-$4,000 |
How long does a custom window take from measurement to install?
Fabrication for a custom or geometric window in West Palm Beach typically runs four to six weeks from approved measurements. We give you a written timeline at the quote, not a phone estimate. Call (509) 265-6387 to start the process.
Can you match an existing arch exactly?
Yes. We template the opening with the same curve and radius as the original. The manufacturer cuts the frame to the template, not to a stock profile, so the sightline carries through.
