AfterWindows & Doors in Palm Beach, FL
Window and door installation in Palm Beach typically runs $800-$4,500 per opening depending on whether the unit is standard, impact-rated, or custom-fabricated for a historic landmark property. Most Palm Beach homes were built between the 1920s and 1950s with non-standard dimensions, so custom work is routine rather than exceptional. We measure every opening to the sixteenth, write the price before any work starts, and leave a documented photo record - call (561) 421-3844 to schedule your free estimate.
Why Palm Beach Homes Are Different
Palm Beach sits on a narrow barrier island with the Atlantic to the east and the Intracoastal Waterway to the west. Salt-laden air attacks aluminum extrusions and stainless fasteners from both directions, corroding hardware faster than in inland communities just a few miles west. Every replacement must also satisfy the Town’s Architectural Commission (ARCOM), which reviews exterior window and door changes for design compatibility with the original Addison Mizner-era Mediterranean Revival or Bermuda Colonial architecture. Landmark properties face a second review by the Landmarks Preservation Commission. This dual compliance - historic aesthetic fidelity plus Florida Building Code coastal wind-load standards - is unique to Palm Beach and does not apply across the Intracoastal in West Palm Beach or Lake Worth.
The housing stock is dominated by arched openings, loggia surrounds, and custom-dimensioned fenestration that renders standard manufactured units unusable. On South Ocean Boulevard and El Bravo Way, elliptical and arched windows common in Mizner-designed estates cannot accept any impact-rated unit off a manufacturer’s size chart. We custom-fabricate impact IGUs to fit irregular curved frames, then seek ARCOM sign-off on profile depth and finish color before installation. This routinely adds six to ten weeks to a project timeline that a comparable West Palm Beach job would complete in days.
Our Main Palm Beach Services
Palm Beach homeowners call us most often for window replacement and impact-rated systems. Here’s what each service involves locally.
Window Replacement in Palm Beach
Most Palm Beach window replacements involve removing original steel or wood frames from the 1920s-1950s and installing impact-rated units that meet current Florida Building Code wind-load requirements while passing ARCOM design review. We measure the existing sightlines, document the original profile, and specify replacement units from PGT, CGI, or CWS that replicate the visible dimensions. Window Replacement in Palm Beach is our most requested service.
Impact Windows & Doors in Palm Beach
Impact-rated glazing is mandatory in Palm Beach’s coastal wind zone, with oceanfront parcels on South Ocean Boulevard regularly requiring the highest design-pressure ratings available. We specify laminated glass and reinforced frames from verified manufacturer lines, pull permits through Palm Beach County, and coordinate inspections. Every installation includes the documented photo record required by the Haven Standard. Impact Windows & Doors in Palm Beach.
Sliding & Patio Doors in Palm Beach
Patio door replacements in Palm Beach must balance indoor-outdoor sightlines with impact-rated structural requirements and, in many cases, ARCOM approval for frame color and rail height. We measure the existing threshold, check the structural header for deflection, and specify multi-point locking hardware rated for salt-air exposure. Sliding & Patio Doors in Palm Beach.

AfterWindow Installation in Palm Beach
Window installation in Palm Beach means working within a housing stock where standard manufactured units rarely fit. Homes built during the 1920s-1950s Mediterranean Revival and Bermuda Colonial boom feature arched openings, loggia surrounds, and custom-dimensioned fenestration that demand measured-to-fit fabrication. Salt air from the Atlantic and Intracoastal accelerates corrosion of frames and fasteners, so material specification matters as much as installation technique. We begin every Window Installation with a measured survey the customer keeps, then write a price that cannot change - Haven Clause 1.
Single & Double Hung Windows
Signs you need it
Sashes that won’t stay open, visible rot in the meeting rail, or single-pane glass that transmits heat and fails to meet current wind-load codes.
What it costs in Palm Beach
Standard vinyl or aluminum single hung units run $650-$1,200 installed; impact-rated double hung with laminated glass and reinforced frames range $1,400-$2,800 per opening.
How we do it
We remove the existing frame, inspect the rough opening for water intrusion, install a flashed sill pan, set the new unit with structural fasteners at code-specified spacing, seal with backer rod and silicone, then photograph every step for the documented record.
Casement Windows
Signs you need it
Crank mechanisms that bind or strip, air infiltration at the hinge side, or original steel casements with failed glazing putty and no impact rating.
What it costs in Palm Beach
Standard aluminum casement windows cost $800-$1,500 installed; impact-rated casements with multi-point locking and laminated glass run $1,800-$3,200 per unit.
How we do it
We verify the hinge-side framing is square within 1/8 inch, install the casement with corrosion-resistant hardware specified for salt-air exposure, test the crank operation under load, and confirm the multi-point lock engages flush before sealing and documenting.
What Window Installation Costs in Palm Beach
| Item | Typical range in Palm Beach |
|---|---|
| Standard single hung (non-impact) | $650 - $1,200 |
| Impact-rated double hung | $1,400 - $2,800 |
| Impact-rated casement | $1,800 - $3,200 |
Do I need ARCOM approval before replacing windows in Palm Beach?
Yes. The Town of Palm Beach requires Architectural Commission approval for any exterior window replacement, and landmark properties need Landmarks Preservation Commission review as well. We submit the required drawings and product specifications as part of our scope, and the approval timeline - typically four to eight weeks - is built into every written quote we provide. Call (561) 421-3844 for an exact quote - estimates are free.
Why can’t standard window sizes work in my Palm Beach home?
Original construction from the 1920s-1950s used custom-dimensioned openings that do not align with modern manufacturer size charts. Arched and elliptical units, common along South Ocean Boulevard and El Bravo Way, require custom fabrication that adds six to ten weeks but preserves the historic sightline. Call (561) 421-3844 for an exact quote - estimates are free.
Door Installation in Palm Beach
Door installation in Palm Beach requires navigating the same dual compliance burden as windows: ARCOM design review for exterior changes, plus Florida Building Code impact and wind-load requirements for coastal zones. Original entry doors in Mediterranean Revival and Bermuda Colonial estates often feature custom dimensions, sidelight configurations, and hardware sets that must be replicated or sensitively updated. We measure the existing jamb, header, and threshold, document the sightlines, and specify replacement units from Therma-Tru or ViewLux that satisfy both the code official and the design review board. Every Door Installation begins with the measured survey you keep and a written price that does not change.
Hurricane-Proof Front & Entry Doors
Signs you need it
Existing door lacks impact-rated glazing or a reinforced frame, shows corrosion at the threshold, or failed inspection after a previous storm.
What it costs in Palm Beach
Impact-rated fiberglass entry doors with laminated glass sidelights run $2,200-$4,500 installed; solid impact-rated entry systems with multi-point hardware range $3,000-$5,500.
How we do it
We remove the existing unit, reinforce the rough opening with pressure-treated framing if needed, install the pre-hung impact door with structural fasteners, integrate the threshold pan flashing with the wall drainage plane, test the multi-point lock, and document with photographs.
French & Double Doors
Signs you need it
Active door sags and scrapes the threshold, astragal seal is compressed or missing, or original units lack impact rating and proper wind-load anchorage.
What it costs in Palm Beach
Standard French door pairs cost $1,800-$3,200 installed; impact-rated French doors with laminated glass and reinforced stiles run $3,500-$6,500 per pair.
How we do it
We verify the header is engineered for the wider opening, install the pair with adjustable hinges and a three-point multi-lock astragal, align the active door to within 1/16 inch of the jamb, seal with backer rod and silicone, and photograph the completed assembly.
What Door Installation Costs in Palm Beach
| Item | Typical range in Palm Beach |
|---|---|
| Impact-rated fiberglass entry with sidelights | $2,200 - $4,500 |
| Solid impact-rated entry system | $3,000 - $5,500 |
| Impact-rated French door pair | $3,500 - $6,500 |
Does ARCOM review door replacements too?
Yes. Any exterior door replacement in Palm Beach requires Architectural Commission approval, and landmark properties need Landmarks Preservation Commission review. We include drawing submission and approval coordination in our written scope. Call (561) 421-3844 for an exact quote - estimates are free.
How long does door installation take once materials arrive?
Standard entry door replacement takes one day; French or double door pairs with structural header modification may require two days. Custom fabrication and ARCOM approval typically add six to ten weeks before installation begins. Call (561) 421-3844 for an exact quote - estimates are free.
Energy-Efficient Windows in Palm Beach
Energy-efficient windows in Palm Beach face a climate paradox: intense solar heat gain from 230+ days of annual sunshine, combined with salt-air corrosion that degrades low-emissivity coatings and insulated glass seals faster than inland locations. Original single-pane steel windows in 1920s-1950s estates transmit heat and UV radiation that fades interiors and overloads air conditioning systems. We specify replacement units with low-E coatings, argon gas fill, and warm-edge spacers from ECO Window Systems and ES Windows, measured to the actual opening dimensions and written into a fixed-price quote before any work begins. Energy-Efficient Windows reduce cooling load while satisfying the impact requirements that Palm Beach’s coastal wind zone demands.
Low-E & Argon Gas Glass
Signs you need it
Rooms with direct western or southern exposure that overheat by mid-afternoon, or utility bills that spike during summer months despite thermostat settings.
What it costs in Palm Beach
Low-E argon-filled insulated glass units in standard aluminum frames run $900-$1,600 installed; impact-rated low-E argon units with laminated outer lites range $1,600-$2,800.
How we do it
We measure the visible glass area and frame depth, specify the appropriate low-E coating for the orientation, order IGUs with argon fill and warm-edge spacers, install with proper edge clearances, and verify the seal integrity before documenting.
UV-Blocking & Fade Protection
Signs you need it
Hardwood floors, artwork, or furnishings near windows showing UV degradation, or rooms where blinds must remain closed to prevent damage.
What it costs in Palm Beach
UV-blocking laminated glass with low-E coating in standard frames costs $1,100-$1,900 installed; impact-rated UV-blocking units with enhanced solar control range $1,800-$3,200.
How we do it
We assess the solar heat gain coefficient needed for each orientation, specify laminated glass with interlayer UV inhibitors, verify the visible transmittance meets the customer’s daylighting requirements, and install with documented edge sealing.
What Energy-Efficient Windows Costs in Palm Beach
| Item | Typical range in Palm Beach |
|---|---|
| Low-E argon standard frame | $900 - $1,600 |
| Impact-rated low-E argon | $1,600 - $2,800 |
| Impact-rated UV-blocking | $1,800 - $3,200 |
Will energy-efficient windows lower my cooling bills in Palm Beach?
Yes. Properly specified low-E argon units with solar control can reduce solar heat gain by 50-70 percent, which directly reduces air conditioning runtime. The exact savings depend on orientation, shading, and existing system efficiency. Call (561) 421-3844 for an exact quote - estimates are free.
Do energy-efficient coatings hold up in salt air?
Modern low-E coatings are sealed within the insulated glass unit and protected from salt-air exposure; the critical factor is edge seal integrity, which we verify during installation and document in the photo record. Call (561) 421-3844 for an exact quote - estimates are free.
Impact Garage Doors in Palm Beach
Impact garage doors in Palm Beach must satisfy Florida Building Code wind-load requirements for coastal wind zones while withstanding salt-air corrosion that attacks standard steel hardware and torsion springs. Many garage door openings in 1920s-1950s estates are non-standard widths or integrated into carriage-house facades that require custom panel profiles. We measure the opening, assess the structural header and jamb condition, and specify wind-load-rated sections with reinforced tracks and corrosion-resistant hardware from verified manufacturer lines. Every Impact Garage Doors installation includes the measured survey, written price, and documented photo record required by the Haven Standard.
Hurricane-Rated Garage Doors
Signs you need it
Existing door lacks a wind-load rating label, panels show buckling or corrosion, or the track system is not anchored to the wall framing with code-required fasteners.
What it costs in Palm Beach
Hurricane-rated steel garage doors with reinforced tracks run $1,800-$3,500 installed; custom wind-load-rated carriage-house style doors with impact-rated glazing range $3,500-$6,500.
How we do it
We measure the opening width and height to the quarter inch, verify the header is engineered for the wind-load reaction, install the reinforced track system with structural anchors, hang the sections with heavy-duty rollers, balance the torsion spring, and test the automatic opener integration before documenting.
Wind-Load Code Compliance
Signs you need it
Permit application for other work triggered a garage door inspection failure, or the existing door was installed before current Florida Building Code wind-load standards took effect.
What it costs in Palm Beach
Wind-load retrofit of an existing door with reinforcement struts and upgraded track hardware costs $800-$1,800; full replacement with code-compliant assembly runs $1,800-$3,500.
How we do it
We calculate the required design pressure for the specific Palm Beach parcel location, specify the door assembly with the appropriate wind-load rating label, pull the permit through Palm Beach County, coordinate inspection, and provide the documentation required for certificate of occupancy.
What Impact Garage Doors Costs in Palm Beach
| Item | Typical range in Palm Beach |
|---|---|
| Hurricane-rated steel door with reinforced track | $1,800 - $3,500 |
| Custom wind-load carriage-house door | $3,500 - $6,500 |
| Wind-load retrofit (reinforcement only) | $800 - $1,800 |
Can I keep my existing garage door opener with a new impact door?
Most modern openers can be retained if the new door weight is within the opener’s rated capacity; we verify this during the measured survey and note any required upgrade in the written quote. Call (561) 421-3844 for an exact quote - estimates are free.
Do garage doors need permits in Palm Beach?
Yes. Palm Beach County requires permits for garage door replacement, and the installation must pass inspection for wind-load anchorage and opener safety systems. We pull permits and coordinate inspections as part of our standard scope. Call (561) 421-3844 for an exact quote - estimates are free.
Custom & Geometric Windows in Palm Beach
Custom and geometric windows in Palm Beach are not a specialty service - they are the default condition. The 1920s-1950s Mediterranean Revival and Bermuda Colonial housing stock features arched openings, elliptical transoms, and octagonal tower windows that cannot accept standard manufactured units. ARCOM review adds a second layer of compliance: profile depth, finish color, and sightline proportions must match the original design intent. We template every curved or irregular opening on site, fabricate impact-rated IGUs to the measured dimensions, and seek ARCOM sign-off before installation begins. Custom & Geometric Windows require the same upfront written price and documented photo record as every other service under the Haven Standard.
Arched & Curved Windows
Signs you need it
Existing arched window has failed glazing, rotted frame, or no impact rating, or the original steel unit is transferring heat and corroding the surrounding masonry.
What it costs in Palm Beach
Custom arched impact-rated windows with laminated glass and curved aluminum frames run $2,500-$5,000 installed; elliptical or compound-curve units with custom grille patterns range $4,000-$7,500.
How we do it
We build a full-size template of the arched opening, send it to the fabricator with the impact-rated IGU specification, receive the unit and verify the radius matches the template within 1/8 inch, install with flexible flashing compatible with curved surfaces, and document the completed sightline.
Oversized Openings
Signs you need it
Large fixed-glass areas that have lost seal integrity, show deflection in the frame, or were installed before current wind-load and impact requirements.
What it costs in Palm Beach
Oversized fixed impact-rated windows up to 60 square feet run $3,500-$6,500 installed; custom multi-panel assemblies with structural mullions for openings over 60 square feet range $6,500-$12,000.
How we do it
We engineer the structural support for the increased wind-load reaction, specify reinforced frames and heavy-glass laminated lites, coordinate crane or specialty handling if needed, install with continuous sill pan and head flashing, and photograph the entire sequence.
What Custom & Geometric Windows Costs in Palm Beach
| Item | Typical range in Palm Beach |
|---|---|
| Custom arched impact window | $2,500 - $5,000 |
| Elliptical or compound-curve unit | $4,000 - $7,500 |
| Oversized fixed assembly (60+ sq ft) | $6,500 - $12,000 |
How long does ARCOM approval take for custom windows?
Standard ARCOM review takes four to six weeks; landmark properties requiring Landmarks Preservation Commission review add two to four weeks. We submit drawings and product specifications as part of our scope, and the approval timeline is built into every written quote. Call (561) 421-3844 for an exact quote - estimates are free.
Can you match the original window profile exactly?
We specify frame profiles from PGT, CGI, and CWS that replicate the visible sightlines of original steel or wood units, and we provide finish samples for ARCOM review before fabrication begins. Exact replication depends on the original profile and current manufacturer capabilities, which we assess during the measured survey. Call (561) 421-3844 for an exact quote - estimates are free.
