Frequently Asked Questions - Windows & Doors in Boynton Beach, FL
We've been fitting windows and doors in Boynton Beach since 2012. Here is what homeowners actually ask before they call.
Pricing & Cost FAQs
Most full-frame window replacements in Boynton Beach run between $650 and $1,400 per opening, depending on the frame material, glass package, and whether the opening needs structural repair. Impact-rated units for Florida Building Code compliance sit at the higher end of that range. We measure every opening on-site and leave you with a written, line-item quote before we order anything. Call (561) 421-3844 to schedule your free estimate.
A complete entry door replacement in Boynton Beach, including the slab, frame, hardware, and installation, generally ranges from $1,800 to $4,500. Fiberglass units from Therma-Tru with decorative glass fall in the middle; solid wood or custom-sized impact doors run higher. We do not quote by phone. Our technician measures, photographs the opening, and returns a fixed price you can compare. Call (561) 421-3844 for your written estimate.
Impact windows carry laminated glass and reinforced frames tested to withstand missile impact and cyclic pressure per Miami-Dade and Florida Building Code requirements. The materials, testing certification, and heavier installation labor all add cost. In Boynton Beach, most replacement windows must meet these standards anyway because of our wind-borne debris region. We quote impact and non-impact options only where code allows the choice. Call (561) 421-3844 and we will flag what your specific address requires.
No. Clause 1 of the Haven Standard states that the written quote is the written quote. If we miss a rotted sill or hidden structural issue during survey, we document it with photos, explain the finding, and write a separate line item you approve before we proceed. The original scope does not move. This is why we photograph and measure every opening rather than estimate from street view. Call (561) 421-3844 to schedule a survey.
Service & Process FAQs
A technician arrives within the scheduled window, measures each opening with a laser and tape, photographs existing conditions, and notes any structural or code issues. You receive a written quote before we leave, with frame material, glass specs, hardware, and installation labor broken out by line item. The appointment takes 45 to 90 minutes depending on the number of openings. Call (561) 421-3844 to book.
Most single-door replacements take one day. A whole-home window job of 10 to 15 openings typically runs two to three days. Custom or oversized units, stucco exterior repairs, or permit inspections can extend this. We give you a day-by-day schedule in writing when you approve the quote, and we text when the crew is en route. Call (561) 421-3844 to discuss your timeline.
Yes, for any job that alters the structural opening or changes the egress path. Boynton Beach follows Florida Building Code and Palm Beach County amendments, which means most replacements require a permit and final inspection. We pull the permit, schedule inspections, and do not close out the job until it passes. The permit number and inspection results are part of the documentation you receive. Call (561) 421-3844 and we will confirm what your project requires.
Walk the exterior and note any cracked glass, rotted wood, hard-to-operate sashes, or daylight visible around the frame. Inside, check for condensation between panes, drafts, or water stains on the sill. Take photos if you can. This helps us triage urgency and bring the right samples to the estimate. But you do not need to diagnose the problem yourself. Call (561) 421-3844 and we will sort it on-site.
Brands & Parts FAQs
We work with several manufacturers selected for Florida's climate and code requirements, including PGT and CGI for impact-rated vinyl and aluminum windows. We also source ViewLux for homeowners who want larger glass areas with slimmer sightlines. We do not push one brand for every house. The right unit depends on your exposure, HOA requirements, and whether you need impact rating. Call (561) 421-3844 and we will bring samples matched to your project.
Yes. Therma-Tru fiberglass entry doors are our standard recommendation for Boynton Beach homes because they resist the humidity and salt air that swell and delaminate wood doors. We stock several styles and can order custom sizes or decorative glass. Every Therma-Tru door we install includes the factory warranty plus our installation guarantee. Call (561) 421-3844 to see current styles.
Sometimes. If the manufacturer is still operating and the profile was not discontinued, we can often source a matching sash or frame. If the line is obsolete, we identify the closest visual and performance match and show you both options. In Boynton Beach, many 1980s and 1990s developments used brands no longer produced. We photograph the existing unit and research availability before quoting. Call (561) 421-3844 to start the search.
Licensing & Insurance FAQs
Every pro working under our name is required to hold the license and insurance Florida requires for window and door installation in Palm Beach County. We verify this before anyone enters your home, and the license number appears on your written quote. We have served Boynton Beach, Lantana, Delray Beach, Lake Worth, Greenacres, Palm Springs, Boca Raton, Palm Beach, Westgate, Wellington, Royal Palm Beach, and Deerfield Beach since this branch opened. Call (561) 421-3844 to confirm current credentials.
Every installer on our crew carries the general liability and workers compensation coverage their trade requires. We also document every job with photos of existing conditions and completed work, so there is evidence if a dispute arises. This is Clause 4 of the Haven Standard: evidence on every job. You receive the photo record with your final invoice. Call (561) 421-3844 to discuss our coverage details.
Emergency & Response FAQs
A broken window or door that cannot lock, especially during hurricane season or when it compromises home security, needs same-week attention. We do not promise 24/7 dispatch, but we do keep emergency slots within our operating hours: Monday through Friday 7:30 AM to 7:30 PM, Saturday and Sunday 7:30 AM to 6:30 PM. If you have exposed glass or a non-securing door, call (561) 421-3844 and our coordinator will prioritize the next available appointment.
Clear the area of glass fragments, cover the opening with plywood or heavy cardboard from the exterior if you can do so safely, and avoid taping over shattered glass on the interior, which can make professional cleanup harder. Do not attempt to remove a broken impact-rated window yourself; the laminated glass can have sharp edges and the frame may be under tension. Call (561) 421-3844 and we will guide you through temporary measures until our crew arrives.
Yes. Our primary service area runs from Deerfield Beach north to Palm Beach, and west to Wellington and Royal Palm Beach. This includes Lantana, Delray Beach, Lake Worth, Greenacres, Palm Springs, Boca Raton, Westgate, and the surrounding neighborhoods. Mileage and scheduling vary by distance from our Boynton Beach base. Call (561) 421-3844 with your address and we will confirm availability.
Warranty & Guarantees FAQs
Manufacturer warranties vary by brand: PGT and CGI typically offer lifetime limited glass breakage and frame warranties for original homeowners; Therma-Tru covers fiberglass doors for life against warp, rot, and delamination. Our installation labor carries its own guarantee against leaks, operational failure, and installation defects. Every warranty term is written on your quote before you sign. Call (561) 421-3844 for current manufacturer documentation.
The Haven Standard is the five-clause guarantee that governs every job we take: Have it in writing, Arrive on schedule, Verified crews, Evidence on every job, and No surprises. It means your price is fixed before work starts, your technician arrives in a named window with a text en route, every installer is licensed and insured, every job is photographed, and there is no upsell or scope creep. We have fitted over 18,000 windows and doors under this standard since 2012. Call (561) 421-3844 to see it applied to your project.
You receive a final packet with the original written quote, any change orders with photos and your approval signature, manufacturer warranty cards, the permit and inspection sign-off, and dated photos of the completed installation. This is your record for resale, insurance claims, or warranty service. We keep digital backups as well. Call (561) 421-3844 to schedule a job that ends with proper documentation.
You can, but in Florida the risks usually outweigh the savings. Improperly flashed windows leak into the wall cavity, void manufacturer warranties, and fail inspection. Impact-rated units require specific fastening patterns and structural attachment that code inspectors check. Our crews train specifically on Florida's wind-load requirements and waterproofing details. If you are considering DIY, call (561) 421-3844 first and we will explain what the job actually involves so you can decide with full information.
