AfterWindows & Doors in Palm Beach, FL
Window installation in Palm Beach runs $850-$2,400 per opening for standard impact-rated units, with custom or historic-replication work starting closer to $3,200. Most Palm Beach homes require impact-rated products under Florida Building Code, and landmark properties face additional Architectural Commission review. We measure every opening to the sixteenth, write the price before any work starts, and keep that document unchanged through final invoice. Call (561) 354-3861 to schedule your free measured survey.
Our crews serve Palm Beach from the brand’s Miami office, carrying the Haven Standard to every job: written price, verified crew, documented evidence, no surprises. The island’s salt air, high-velocity wind zone, and historic preservation rules make this market unlike any other along the coast.
Why Palm Beach Homes Are Different
Palm Beach sits on a narrow Atlantic barrier island where salt spray, sustained winds, and intense UV corrode aluminum frames and degrade glazing seals faster than inland locations even a few miles west. The housing stock is dominated by 1920s-1940s Mediterranean Revival and Spanish Colonial estates, many originally designed by Addison Mizner, with arched openings, ornate wrought-iron or mahogany entry doors, and original steel casement windows that have no standard modern equivalent.
Florida Building Code requires impact-resistant windows and doors or approved storm protection throughout this coastal wind-borne debris region, making non-impact products effectively non-permittable. On landmark-designated properties along South County Road and the estate section, the Architectural Commission routinely requires measured shop drawings, material samples, and finish mockups before permitting, meaning the review timeline, not the physical installation, controls the schedule. Contractors unfamiliar with the Town of Palm Beach’s separate building department often miss this entirely.
Our Main Palm Beach Services
Most Palm Beach homeowners contact us about window replacement and impact-rated protection, though sliding door systems and custom historic replication are equally common on the island.
Window Replacement in Palm Beach
We replace original steel casements, single-pane wood sashes, and failed aluminum units across the island’s estate and mid-century inventory, specifying impact-rated replacements that satisfy both Florida Building Code and ARCOM aesthetic requirements. Our measured survey documents every sightline and frame condition; the written price derives from that single document. Window Replacement in Palm Beach covers full-frame and insert methods, permit coordination, and the photo record delivered at completion.
Impact Windows & Doors in Palm Beach
Impact-rated products are mandatory for new and replacement installations in Palm Beach’s high-velocity hurricane zone, but the island’s historic districts require profiles that replicate original steel casement sightlines and arched mahogany surrounds. We specify from PGT, CGI, and ES Windows lines by performance tier and price range, not by margin, and coordinate ARCOM submission with the measured survey. Impact Windows & Doors in Palm Beach details the full specification and permitting process.
Sliding & Patio Doors in Palm Beach
Oceanfront and Intracoastal homes throughout Palm Beach rely on multi-panel sliding systems for indoor-outdoor flow, but salt corrosion and wind load degrade rollers, tracks, and glazing seals within years rather than decades. We install impact-rated multi-slide, lift-and-slide, and traditional patio door systems with stainless hardware and marine-grade finishes specified for barrier-island exposure. Sliding & Patio Doors in Palm Beach covers frame materials, impact ratings, and the measured survey process.

AfterWindow Installation in Palm Beach
Window installation in Palm Beach requires reconciling two opposing demands: Florida Building Code mandates impact-rated, high-velocity hurricane zone products, while the Architectural Commission enforces historic authenticity on landmark and contributing properties. Most 1920s-1940s Mediterranean Revival estates have original steel casement windows with arched tops and narrow sightlines that no standard vinyl or aluminum line replicates, forcing custom fabrication or specialty impact units. Our Window Installation process begins with a measured survey the customer keeps, and the written quote cannot differ from that document.
Single & Double Hung Windows
Signs you need it
Sashes that won’t stay open, visible rot in the sill or jamb, or failed balances in original wood units are standard indicators on Palm Beach’s pre-war housing stock.
What it costs in Palm Beach
Impact-rated single or double hung installation in Palm Beach typically runs $1,100-$2,100 per opening for standard sizes, with historic-replication profiles starting at $2,800.
How we do it
We remove the existing frame to the rough opening, inspect for water intrusion or termite damage, install the new impact-rated unit with marine-grade flashing, and seal with backer rod and silicone specified for salt-air exposure.
Casement Windows
Signs you need it
Cranking difficulty, rusted operators, or fogging between panes in original steel casements signal that the glazing seal and hardware have reached end of life.
What it costs in Palm Beach
Impact-rated casement installation in Palm Beach ranges $1,400-$2,600 per opening for standard sizes, with custom steel-replication profiles for ARCOM-reviewed properties starting at $3,200.
How we do it
We document the original sightline and hardware placement, specify the replication profile from PGT or CGI, coordinate ARCOM submission with shop drawings, and install with stainless steel hardware rated for coastal corrosion resistance.
What Window Installation Costs in Palm Beach
| Item | Typical range in Palm Beach |
|---|---|
| Single/Double Hung (impact-rated, standard size) | $1,100 - $2,100 |
| Casement (impact-rated, standard size) | $1,400 - $2,600 |
| Custom/ARCOM-replication profile | $2,800 - $4,500+ |
Do you pull permits for window installation in Palm Beach?
Yes. The Town of Palm Beach requires building permits for all window replacements, and landmark or contributing properties need ARCOM approval before permit issuance. We prepare the measured survey, shop drawings, and material samples as a single submission package.
How long does window installation take in Palm Beach?
Physical installation is typically one day for 3-5 openings. ARCOM review adds 6-12 weeks on landmark properties, which we build into the project schedule from the measured survey date. Call (561) 354-3861 for a timeline estimate on your specific property.
Door Installation in Palm Beach
Door installation in Palm Beach confronts the same dual constraint as windows: impact-rated products are code-mandatory, yet historic estates require mahogany surrounds, wrought-iron grilles, or steel profiles that replicate original Addison Mizner-era entries. Many 1920s-1940s homes have single-panel mahogany doors with hand-forged hardware that ARCOM will not permit to be replaced with standard fiberglass or steel slabs. Our Door Installation specifies Therma-Tru and custom millwork lines by opening requirements, not by margin, and the written price is fixed before any work begins.
Entry Doors
Signs you need it
Delamination at the bottom rail, daylight visible around the jamb, or a door that has swelled and no longer latches cleanly indicate frame failure from salt-air saturation.
What it costs in Palm Beach
Impact-rated entry door installation in Palm Beach ranges $2,200-$4,800 for standard fiberglass or steel units, with custom mahogany or historic-replication entries starting at $5,500.
How we do it
We measure the rough opening and existing jamb depth, specify the impact-rated unit with matching sightlines, submit ARCOM materials if required, and install with marine-grade flashing and three-point locking hardware.
Hurricane-Proof Front & Entry Doors
Signs you need it
Current doors lack impact-rated glazing or the required Miami-Dade or Florida Product Approval label for high-velocity hurricane zones.
What it costs in Palm Beach
Hurricane-rated front door systems in Palm Beach typically run $3,200-$6,400 installed, including impact-rated sidelites and transoms where the opening requires them.
How we do it
We verify the wind-borne debris zone classification, specify products with the correct HVHZ approval, coordinate permit and ARCOM submission, and document installation with the required photo record for final inspection.
What Door Installation Costs in Palm Beach
| Item | Typical range in Palm Beach |
|---|---|
| Standard impact-rated entry door (fiberglass/steel) | $2,200 - $4,800 |
| Hurricane-rated front door with sidelites | $3,200 - $6,400 |
| Custom mahogany/historic replication | $5,500 - $12,000+ |
Can you match my historic door profile for ARCOM?
Yes. We submit measured shop drawings, wood species samples, and finish mockups to ARCOM before ordering, ensuring the replacement satisfies both the historic commission and Florida Building Code. Call (561) 354-3861 to review your existing door and timeline.
Do you replace just the door or the whole frame?
We assess the jamb condition during the measured survey. Salt-air rot often requires full-frame replacement with marine-grade materials; the written scope specifies exactly what is included before any work starts.
Energy-Efficient Windows in Palm Beach
Energy-efficient windows in Palm Beach must perform two jobs: rejecting intense solar heat gain and UV that bleaches interiors, and maintaining impact-rated structural integrity against hurricane-force wind and debris. The island’s oceanfront exposure amplifies both demands, with unshaded southern and western elevations experiencing solar heat gain coefficients that standard clear-glass impact units cannot adequately control. Our Energy-Efficient Windows specify low-E coatings, argon gas fills, and laminated glass packages from ECO Window Systems and ES Windows by measured performance data, not by stock availability.
Low-E & Argon Gas Glass
Signs you need it
Furniture or flooring fading near windows, rooms that overheat despite air conditioning, or condensation between panes indicating seal failure in existing units.
What it costs in Palm Beach
Low-E/argon impact-rated window installation in Palm Beach typically adds $180-$340 per opening above standard impact glass, with payback periods under four years on unshaded southern elevations.
How we do it
We measure each elevation’s sun exposure, specify the appropriate low-E coating and SHGC rating, order laminated low-E units with argon fill, and verify the NFRC label matches the written specification on delivery.
Insulated Laminated Glass
Signs you need it
Single-pane original windows, failed insulated glass units with visible condensation, or impact-rated units that lack thermal performance data for Florida’s cooling-dominated climate.
What it costs in Palm Beach
Insulated laminated impact-rated glass in Palm Beach ranges $1,600-$2,900 per opening, combining thermal break frames with laminated low-E glazing for code-compliant hurricane and energy performance.
How we do it
We remove the existing unit, inspect the rough opening for thermal bridging, install the insulated laminated replacement with warm-edge spacers and proper air sealing, and document the NFRC and Miami-Dade approval labels in the photo record.
What Energy-Efficient Windows Costs in Palm Beach
| Item | Typical range in Palm Beach |
|---|---|
| Low-E/argon upgrade (add to standard impact unit) | +$180 - $340 per opening |
| Insulated laminated impact window (full unit) | $1,600 - $2,900 |
| High-performance solar control package | $2,200 - $3,800 |
Will energy-efficient windows lower my cooling bills in Palm Beach?
Yes. Low-E coatings with SHGC below 0.25 reduce solar heat gain by 60-70% on unshaded elevations, which typically cuts cooling load by 15-25% in Palm Beach’s climate. Call (561) 354-3861 for a measured survey that specifies the exact performance by elevation.
Do energy-efficient windows still meet hurricane code?
Yes. All our energy-efficient specifications use laminated impact-rated glass with Miami-Dade or Florida Product Approval; the thermal performance is added to the structural package, not substituted for it.
Impact Garage Doors in Palm Beach
Impact garage doors in Palm Beach protect the largest opening in most homes, a critical vulnerability during hurricane events where garage door failure pressurizes the structure and compromises the roof. The island’s estate properties often have custom carriage-house or paneled designs that ARCOM scrutinizes closely, while oceanfront homes need wind-load ratings and corrosion resistance that inland specifications do not address. Our Impact Garage Doors specify wind-load-rated sections, heavy-gauge track, and stainless or coated hardware from Mr-Glass and ECO Window Systems lines, with the written price fixed before any work begins.
Hurricane-Rated Garage Doors
Signs you need it
Current door lacks a Miami-Dade or Florida Product Approval label, shows panel buckling from past wind events, or was installed before 2002 when HVHZ garage door standards took effect.
What it costs in Palm Beach
Hurricane-rated garage door installation in Palm Beach ranges $2,800-$5,500 for standard single and double widths, with custom carriage-house or ARCOM-reviewed designs starting at $6,200.
How we do it
We measure the opening and headroom, specify the wind-load rating for the Palm Beach exposure category, submit ARCOM materials if required, and install with reinforced track, heavy-duty springs, and impact-rated glazing where the design includes windows.
Wind-Load Code Compliance
Signs you need it
Permit application for any garage door replacement in Palm Beach requires documentation of the design pressure rating and Miami-Dade or Florida Product Approval number.
What it costs in Palm Beach
Wind-load code compliance verification and installation in Palm Beach typically runs $3,200-$6,400 for full replacement with rated track, hardware, and automatic opener reconnection.
How we do it
We verify the existing door’s rating against current Florida Building Code, specify the replacement with the correct design pressure and exposure category for the Palm Beach site, pull the permit, and pass inspection with the documented photo record.
What Impact Garage Doors Costs in Palm Beach
| Item | Typical range in Palm Beach |
|---|---|
| Standard hurricane-rated garage door (single/double) | $2,800 - $5,500 |
| Custom/ARCOM-reviewed carriage house design | $6,200 - $11,000+ |
| Wind-load compliance with track/hardware replacement | $3,200 - $6,400 |
Does my garage door need to be impact-rated if it’s not facing the ocean?
Yes. Florida Building Code requires impact-rated or approved storm protection for all garage doors in Palm Beach’s high-velocity hurricane zone, regardless of orientation; wind-borne debris travels on unpredictable trajectories during hurricane events. Call (561) 354-3861 for a free assessment of your current door’s rating.
Can you match my estate’s carriage-house style and still meet code?
Yes. We specify custom panel designs with internal reinforcement and impact-rated glazing inserts that replicate historic profiles while carrying the required Miami-Dade approval; ARCOM submission includes finish samples and hardware mockups.
Custom & Geometric Windows in Palm Beach
Custom and geometric windows in Palm Beach are not specialty items, they are standard requirements for the island’s Mediterranean Revival and Spanish Colonial estates. Arched tops, radius units, octagonal vent windows, and grouped geometric assemblies appear throughout Addison Mizner-era designs, and ARCOM mandates that replacements replicate these proportions in period-appropriate materials. No off-the-shelf product line satisfies this demand; every unit is measured, drawn, and fabricated to the specific opening. Our Custom & Geometric Windows process produces shop drawings the customer approves, with the written price fixed to that document.
Arched & Curved Windows
Signs you need it
Original steel casement arched windows with failed glazing, rotted wood radius units, or flat-topped replacements that violate ARCOM’s proportion and profile requirements.
What it costs in Palm Beach
Custom arched impact-rated windows in Palm Beach typically range $3,200-$6,800 per opening, with complex multi-radius or segmented designs starting at $7,500.
How we do it
We field-measure the radius and spring points, produce CAD shop drawings for ARCOM and customer approval, fabricate the custom frame with impact-rated laminated glazing, and install with marine-grade flashing matched to the original masonry profile.
Oversized Openings
Signs you need it
Grouped window assemblies or single openings exceeding 60 square feet where standard unit sizes cannot replicate the original sightlines or structural mullion spacing.
What it costs in Palm Beach
Oversized custom impact-rated openings in Palm Beach range $5,500-$14,000 per assembly, depending on the engineering required for wind load and the complexity of the glazing specification.
How we do it
We engineer the structural support for wind load and dead load, specify custom frames from PGT or CGI with the required design pressure, coordinate ARCOM and building department submission, and install with reinforced anchoring and documented photo record.
What Custom & Geometric Windows Costs in Palm Beach
| Item | Typical range in Palm Beach |
|---|---|
| Arched/curved custom impact window | $3,200 - $6,800 |
| Complex multi-radius or segmented design | $7,500 - $12,000+ |
| Oversized opening assembly | $5,500 - $14,000 |
How long does ARCOM approval take for custom windows?
ARCOM review typically requires 6-12 weeks from submission of complete shop drawings, material samples, and finish mockups. We build this into the project schedule from the measured survey date and do not fabricate until written approval is issued. Call (561) 354-3861 to start the measured survey and documentation package.
Can you replicate my original steel casement sightlines exactly?
Yes. We measure the original sightline width, muntin spacing, and hardware placement to the sixteenth, then specify custom profiles from PGT or CGI that replicate these dimensions while incorporating impact-rated laminated glazing and stainless hardware for coastal durability.
