AfterWindows & Doors in Boca Raton, FL
Window installation in Boca Raton, FL is governed by a 140 mph basic wind-speed zone under the Florida Building Code, which makes impact-rated openings a legal requirement on nearly every replacement job. Most of the housing stock in East Boca dates to the 1960s through 1980s and is now hitting its first full replacement cycle, while West Boca’s 1990s and 2000s communities carry original builder-grade aluminum that was undersized even when new. If you need a written price before anyone lifts a tool, call (509) 265-6387.
Why Boca Raton Homes Are Different
Boca Raton sits where the Intracoastal Waterway runs directly through the city and the Atlantic sits less than a mile from most east-side neighborhoods. That geography creates persistent salt spray that pits and seizes aluminum frames and corrodes door hardware faster than anything seen inland. Condos along Camino Real and the Palmetto Park Road Intracoastal stretch routinely show original 1970s and 1980s sliding glass doors that are single-pane, non-impact, and so salt-corroded the tracks have seized shut. HOA boards in those same buildings often require replacements to match a specific bronze or white anodized finish approved decades ago, which forces special-order lead times.
Then there is the HOA layer itself. Boca Raton has one of the highest concentrations of deed-restricted communities in Florida. A window or door replacement here often means running Palm Beach County permits and a community Architectural Review Board simultaneously. Many boards mandate specific frame colors, grid patterns, or arched configurations rooted in the Addison Mizner Mediterranean Revival aesthetic that still defines much of the city’s architecture. No neighboring city combines that code-plus-HOA burden at the same scale.
Our Main Boca Raton Services
Most homeowners in Boca Raton reach us for one of two reasons: a door that no longer seals or operates, or a window replacement driven by code compliance and age. Both are covered below, each with its own dedicated page.
Door Installation in Boca Raton
Door installation in Boca Raton almost always intersects with impact requirements or salt-air deterioration on anything built before 2000. We measure the existing rough opening, confirm the wind-load requirement for the specific exposure, and write a scope that accounts for the frame condition before any work begins. For details on entry doors, French doors, and the specific permitting path in Boca Raton, see Door Installation in Boca Raton.
Window Replacement in Boca Raton
Window replacement in Boca Raton typically means pulling aluminum single-pane units out of concrete block or wood-frame openings and installing code-compliant impact or energy-rated systems. The salt air along the Intracoastal means we check frame anchors and flashing conditions rather than assuming a clean swap. For a full breakdown of what replacement involves in this city’s housing stock, see Window Replacement in Boca Raton.

BeforeAfterWindow Installation in Boca Raton
Window installation in Boca Raton usually means replacing original aluminum single-pane units in 1960s to 1980s concrete block homes east of I-95, or swapping builder-grade aluminum in 1990s and 2000s West Boca communities for code-compliant systems. The salt spray that rolls off the Atlantic and Intracoastal has typically corroded the original frames to the point where tracks bind and sashes no longer seal. Our Window Installation work always starts with a measured survey you keep and a written price that matches that survey.
Single & Double Hung Windows
Signs you need it
Sashes that stick, rattle in wind, or refuse to stay open are the most common signs in Boca Raton, especially on salt-exposed west-facing elevations.
What it costs in Boca Raton
Single and double hung window installation in Boca Raton typically runs $850 to $1,600 per opening depending on frame material and impact rating.
How we do it
We remove the old sash and frame, inspect the concrete block or wood buck for corrosion or rot, flash the opening to code, set the new unit, and seal both the interior and exterior perimeters.
Horizontal Roller Windows
Signs you need it
Rollers that grind or skip on salt-corroded aluminum tracks are the telltale sign on Boca Raton’s east side.
What it costs in Boca Raton
Horizontal roller window installation in Boca Raton typically runs $700 to $1,400 per opening for impact-rated units in standard sizes.
How we do it
We remove the existing panel, clean or replace the track, set the new roller assembly into a level frame, and verify operation under load before sealing.
Casement Windows
Signs you need it
Crank mechanisms that seize or strip out in humid salt air, and sashes that no longer compress the weatherstripping, signal a failed casement.
What it costs in Boca Raton
Casement window installation in Boca Raton typically runs $950 to $1,900 per opening, with hardware-heavy units at the higher end.
How we do it
We remove the old sash and hardware, verify the frame is square, mount the new casement with a continuous hinge, and test crank operation through a full cycle.
What Window Installation Costs in Boca Raton
| Item | Typical range in Boca Raton |
|---|---|
| Single or double hung window, installed | $850 - $1,600 |
| Horizontal roller window, installed | $700 - $1,400 |
| Casement window, installed | $950 - $1,900 |
Does window installation in Boca Raton require a permit?
Yes. Window replacement in Boca Raton requires a Palm Beach County building permit, and if your property falls under an HOA, Architectural Review Board approval usually comes first.
How long does a standard window installation take in Boca Raton?
Most single-opening installations finish in one day. Full-home replacements in Boca Raton typically run three to five working days depending on opening count and HOA scheduling windows.
Impact Windows & Doors in Boca Raton
Impact windows and doors in Boca Raton are not optional upgrades. The city sits in a 140 mph basic wind-speed zone, and the Florida Building Code requires impact-rated or protected openings on virtually every replacement. Our Impact Windows & Doors work is specified by wind-load calculation and product test data, not by what is in stock.
Hurricane Impact Windows
Signs you need it
Any window that predates the 2002 Florida Building Code in Boca Raton almost certainly lacks an impact rating and fails current wind-load requirements.
What it costs in Boca Raton
Hurricane impact windows in Boca Raton typically run $1,050 to $2,200 per opening, depending on frame material and design pressure rating.
How we do it
We calculate the required design pressure for the opening’s exposure, select a tested and labeled product, remove the old unit, and install the new one with code-compliant anchors and flashing.
Horizontal Roller & Sliding Impact Windows
Signs you need it
Salt-seized tracks on original aluminum sliders along the Intracoastal corridor are the clearest sign replacement is due.
What it costs in Boca Raton
Horizontal roller and sliding impact windows in Boca Raton typically run $900 to $1,800 per opening for standard widths.
How we do it
We remove the old track and panel, level the new track assembly, set the impact-rated panel, and verify the interlock engages fully before sealing.
What Impact Windows & Doors Costs in Boca Raton
| Item | Typical range in Boca Raton |
|---|---|
| Hurricane impact window, installed | $1,050 - $2,200 |
| Sliding impact window, installed | $900 - $1,800 |
| Impact-rated single or double hung | $1,100 - $2,000 |
Do impact windows in Boca Raton require HOA approval?
Usually yes. Many Boca Raton communities require Architectural Review Board sign-off on frame color, grid pattern, and sometimes manufacturer before Palm Beach County will issue the permit.
Can I replace only the glass instead of the full impact window?
Rarely. Impact ratings depend on the full assembly, frame and glazing tested together. Replacing only the glass does not achieve a code-compliant impact rating in Boca Raton.
Energy-Efficient Windows in Boca Raton
Energy-efficient windows in Boca Raton serve two functions: cutting cooling load in a climate where air conditioning runs nearly year-round, and protecting interiors from UV degradation that fades furnishings in high-rise condos along A1A. The right glass package here is not generic; it is specified by U-factor and SHGC (solar heat gain coefficient) for the elevation. Our Energy-Efficient Windows work begins with a measured survey and a written scope before any glass is ordered.
Low-E & Argon Gas Glass
Signs you need it
Rooms that run noticeably warmer than the rest of the house, or single-pane glass with condensation between panes, signal failed or missing low-E coatings.
What it costs in Boca Raton
Low-E argon-filled window packages in Boca Raton typically add $90 to $180 per opening over clear glass, depending on the coating spec.
How we do it
We specify the low-E coating and argon fill based on the window’s orientation and exposure, order the insulated glass unit, and install it into a frame that meets the same thermal spec.
UV-Blocking & Fade Protection
Signs you need it
Faded flooring, bleached upholstery, or visible sun damage near east- and west-facing windows tells you the current glass is not cutting UV.
What it costs in Boca Raton
UV-blocking glass upgrades in Boca Raton typically add $75 to $150 per opening, depending on the tint and coating combination.
How we do it
We select a glass package with the UV transmittance rating that matches the room’s exposure, then install and document the new insulated unit in the existing frame.
What Energy-Efficient Windows Costs in Boca Raton
| Item | Typical range in Boca Raton |
|---|---|
| Low-E argon glass upgrade, per window | $90 - $180 |
| UV-blocking glass upgrade, per window | $75 - $150 |
| ENERGY STAR rated replacement, full opening | $850 - $1,900 |
What U-factor should I target in Boca Raton?
For Boca Raton’s climate, a U-factor of 0.50 or lower and an SHGC at or below 0.25 is a sensible target for most elevations. Call (509) 265-6387 for a glass spec matched to your exact orientation.
Does energy-efficient glass help with the salt air problem?
It does not stop salt corrosion on frames. Glass packages address heat and UV. Frame material choice, aluminum versus impact-rated vinyl versus fiberglass, is what determines salt-air durability.
Sliding & Patio Doors in Boca Raton
Sliding and patio doors in Boca Raton fail differently here than anywhere else in Palm Beach County. Salt spray off the Atlantic and Intracoastal corrodes aluminum tracks and hardware until doors bind, grind, or refuse to lock. Our Sliding & Patio Doors replacements are specified for the exact exposure, including impact ratings where Florida Building Code requires them.
Impact Sliding Glass Doors
Signs you need it
Original single-pane sliders on 1970s and 1980s condos along Camino Real that no longer meet impact code are the most common trigger in Boca Raton.
What it costs in Boca Raton
Impact sliding glass doors in Boca Raton typically run $4,200 to $9,500 installed, depending on panel count and design pressure rating.
How we do it
We measure the full opening, confirm the required design pressure, order the tested assembly, remove the old panels and track, and install the new system with a level, code-compliant track.
Sliding Glass Door Replacement
Signs you need it
Tracks seized from salt corrosion, fogged glass, or frames that rack and leak during heavy afternoon thunderstorms mean replacement is due.
What it costs in Boca Raton
Standard sliding glass door replacement in Boca Raton typically runs $3,000 to $7,200, including tear-out and new threshold flashing.
How we do it
We remove the existing door and frame, inspect and repair the rough opening, set the new unit on a level threshold, and seal the perimeter before reinstalling trim.
What Sliding & Patio Doors Costs in Boca Raton
| Item | Typical range in Boca Raton |
|---|---|
| Standard sliding glass door replacement | $3,000 - $7,200 |
| Impact sliding glass door, full assembly | $4,200 - $9,500 |
| Screen door, installed | $250 - $600 |
Why do HOA boards in Boca Raton slow down patio door projects?
Many boards require the replacement door to match a specific bronze or white anodized finish approved decades ago. That finish often requires a special-order, which can push lead times out by several weeks.
Can you replace just the sliding door panels?
Sometimes, but in Boca Raton the track and frame condition usually determines the answer. Salt-coroded tracks often cannot support new panels, and a full assembly replacement is the only code-compliant path.
Impact Garage Doors in Boca Raton
Impact garage doors in Boca Raton protect the largest opening in most homes, and in a 140 mph wind zone that opening is a structural liability if it is not rated. Many West Boca homes built in the 1990s and 2000s carry original non-rated or minimally rated doors that no longer meet current wind-load standards. Our Impact Garage Doors replacements are specified by tested design pressure, not by brand margin.
Hurricane-Rated Garage Doors
Signs you need it
A garage door that flexes visibly in wind, lacks a pressure-rating label, or dates to the original construction of a pre-2002 home in Boca Raton is a candidate for replacement.
What it costs in Boca Raton
Hurricane-rated garage doors in Boca Raton typically run $2,600 to $6,500 installed, depending on width and wind-load rating.
How we do it
We measure the opening, verify the required design pressure for the garage’s exposure, order the rated door and track system, and install it with reinforced jambs and hardware to spec.
Wind-Load Code Compliance
Signs you need it
A door without a visible rating label, or one that predates your home’s most recent wind-load calculation, likely fails current Boca Raton code.
What it costs in Boca Raton
Wind-load compliance upgrades in Boca Raton, including door and reinforcement, typically run $2,800 to $7,000 depending on the opening size.
How we do it
We confirm the required design pressure, install a tested and labeled door, document the installation with photos, and leave the rating label visible for inspection.
What Impact Garage Doors Costs in Boca Raton
| Item | Typical range in Boca Raton |
|---|---|
| Hurricane-rated garage door, installed | $2,600 - $6,500 |
| Wind-load compliance retrofit | $2,800 - $7,000 |
| Standard garage door replacement | $1,600 - $3,800 |
Does a new garage door in Boca Raton require a permit?
Yes. Garage door replacement falls under Palm Beach County building permits, and impact-rated installations require an inspection to close the permit. Call (509) 265-6387 to have your specific opening evaluated.
Will my HOA restrict what garage door I can install?
Many Boca Raton communities restrict garage door color, panel profile, and sometimes window configuration. We include Architectural Review Board requirements in the written scope before ordering.
Custom & Geometric Windows in Boca Raton
Custom and geometric windows in Boca Raton are not decorative extras; they are often the specific reason an HOA will approve or reject an entire project. Many communities preserve the Mizner-inspired arched and radiused openings that define the city’s Mediterranean Revival aesthetic. Our Custom & Geometric Windows work is specified to match the sightline, radius, and frame color the board requires, then built as impact-rated assemblies where code demands.
Arched & Curved Windows
Signs you need it
Fogged glass, failing seals, or visible frame corrosion on an arched or radiused opening in East Boca means the original unit has reached the end of its service life.
What it costs in Boca Raton
Arched and curved window replacement in Boca Raton typically runs $1,600 to $4,200 per opening, with custom radii at the higher end.
How we do it
We template the exact radius of the existing opening, order a unit matched to that template, remove the old frame, and install the new one with code-compliant flashing and anchors.
Oversized Openings
Signs you need it
Large fixed or radiused openings that leak during heavy thunderstorms or show seal failure demand replacement.
What it costs in Boca Raton
Oversized custom window openings in Boca Raton typically run $2,200 to $5,500 or more per opening depending on square footage and impact rating.
How we do it
We measure the full opening, specify the glass for wind load and thermal performance, order the unit, and install it with reinforcement sized for the opening’s span.
What Custom & Geometric Windows Costs in Boca Raton
| Item | Typical range in Boca Raton |
|---|---|
| Arched or curved window, installed | $1,600 - $4,200 |
| Oversized custom opening, installed | $2,200 - $5,500 |
| Custom impact-rated geometric unit | $1,800 - $4,800 |
How long do custom geometric windows take in Boca Raton?
Custom radii and HOA-mandated finishes usually add four to eight weeks to the order timeline. We document the expected lead time in the written scope before you commit.
Do custom windows still need to meet impact code in Boca Raton?
Yes. Custom does not exempt an opening from the Florida Building Code. Arched, radiused, and geometric windows still require impact-rated glazing or protection in Boca Raton’s wind zone.
