AfterFast, Reliable Impact Windows Across North Palm Beach
Impact window replacement in North Palm Beach typically runs $800 to $1,500 per window installed, with whole-home packages landing between $8,000 and $25,000 depending on the opening count and the wind zone your street sits in. That’s the real number we quote after measuring, and it’s fixed in writing before we order a single unit. If you’re on Lighthouse Drive, along the Intracoastal, or anywhere in the 33408 zip code, you already know what the salt air does to aluminum frames. We’re Winslow Windows & Doors, and we’ve been replacing failed windows and doors across this coastal strip long enough to know exactly which spec holds up and which one winds up fogged and pitted in five years. Call (844) 901-4551 and Ed’s team will measure, spec, and price your job with no obligation.
Key takeaways:
- Impact windows in North Palm Beach run $800-$1,500 per unit installed; custom or oversized openings reach $2,500-$5,000.
- Homes west of US-1 built in the 1960s still carry jalousie windows that Florida Building Code now prohibits in this wind zone. A remodel permit triggers mandatory replacement.
- Dual salt exposure from the Atlantic and the Intracoastal corrodes non-impact frames faster here than nearly anywhere else in Palm Beach County.
- Miami-Dade NOA ratings matter on this coastal strip. We spec them where the opening demands it, not as an upsell.
What Impact Windows Costs in North Palm Beach
Here’s the honest range, based on what we actually see on North Palm Beach jobs:
- Standard impact window (single-hung, up to 48″ x 72″): $800 to $1,500 per unit installed
- Impact single-hung with Miami-Dade NOA, ocean-facing elevation: $900 to $1,800 per unit
- Large or custom openings (picture windows, trapezoids, fixed architectural glass): $2,500 to $5,000 each
- Whole-home impact package (10-18 openings, single family ranch or CBS two-story): $8,000 to $25,000+
What moves the number in North Palm Beach is rarely labor. It’s the opening count, the wind zone on your specific block, whether the elevation faces the ocean or the Intracoastal, and whether your existing openings are standard sizes or will need custom fabrication. Frame material matters too: aluminum, vinyl, and wood-clad all perform differently in salt-heavy air, and we’ll tell you plainly which one we’d put on our own house a block from the water. Every quote includes a free in-home measure and a written line-item price before you sign anything.
Florida Pays You Back
Impact windows in North Palm Beach come with a stack of offsets that most homeowners don’t fully claim. My Safe Florida Home matching grants can cover up to $10,000 in qualifying wind-mitigation upgrades, and impact-resistant windows and doors are exempt from Florida sales tax. The federal 25C energy credit runs 30% of the product cost, up to $600 per year on qualifying units. The big one though is the windstorm-premium credit on your insurance: after a wind-mitigation inspection ($75 to $150), carriers typically drop the windstorm portion of the premium by about 25% when every opening is protected. We can’t guarantee the final number your carrier sets, but we’ll hand you the product approval paperwork that gets the conversation moving. One more thing worth knowing: impact windows beat hurricane shutters for a coastal house like this because there’s nothing to haul out of the garage at 10 p.m. with a storm two days out. The protection is always in place.
Why Winslow Windows & Doors Is North Palm Beach’s Preferred Impact Windows Company
Ed Winslow started this company in 2011, and his name is on the door and on every job we do. We’re not a national chain handing you a ticket number. We’re the local outfit that knows a Lighthouse Drive ocean-facing elevation from a leeward lot off Prosperity Farms Road, and we spec them differently because the wind loads and salt loads genuinely are different. Our technicians are background-checked and arrive in uniform, so you know who’s at your door before the truck pulls up. Calls to (844) 901-4551 are answered by a live person, 24 hours a day, every day. Not a voicemail loop. Not a call center in another state.
We carry a published address and license number, and we’ve been transparent about that since day one. The Done Right Promise is the backstop: if it’s not done right, we make it right. That’s a century of accountability no national chain will put in writing. North Palm Beach homeowners call us because they’ve been burned before by vague estimates that grew after the check cleared, and by warranties that evaporated when the installer stopped answering the phone. Our price is fixed in writing before we order your units, and it doesn’t change unless the scope changes in writing too.
Our Impact Windows Services in North Palm Beach
PGT WinGuard Impact Windows and Doors
We’re an authorized PGT installer, and WinGuard is the line we recommend most often for North Palm Beach ocean-facing and Intracoastal-facing elevations. The laminated glass interlayer holds the pane together under impact, which is what keeps wind and water out of your living room during a Category 4. We just finished a whole-house replacement on Lighthouse Drive where the original aluminum frames were so pitted from 60 years of salt air the sashes wouldn’t seal. The homeowner chose PGT WinGuard casements with laminated interlayers for the ocean elevation and Miami-Dade NOA-rated double-hungs on the leeward side.
Miami-Dade and HVHZ Impact-Rated Glazing
North Palm Beach sits just north of the Lake Worth Inlet, and the Florida Building Code treats this coastal strip as a high-velocity hurricane zone. That means openings on certain exposures need Miami-Dade NOA approval, not just a Florida Product Approval. We match the design pressure to the actual opening and the actual elevation, and we never sell a heavier rating than the opening requires. You get the spec that passes inspection and holds up, nothing more expensive than necessary.
Custom Impact-Rated Millwork and Architectural Trim Packages
Renovations on the original 1960s ranch houses and CBS two-stories in North Palm Beach frequently call for custom impact-rated millwork and architectural trim to match the existing lines. Off-the-shelf window units don’t always sit right in openings that have been widened, reconfigured, or fitted with new casing details. We coordinate directly with designers and architects so the long-lead custom units are ordered before the tear-out begins. That’s what keeps the project moving while the glass is being fabricated.
Full Window and Door System Replacement
The dense inventory of late-1950s through early-1970s homes in North Palm Beach means most jobs involve replacing the entire window and door system, not patching a single unit. Original aluminum-frame, single-pane windows are hurricane non-compliant, heavily corroded, and past saving. We handle the full scope: impact windows, entry doors, sliding glass and patio doors, and impact garage doors from our authorized lineup of Impact Windows brands including CGI, CWS, ES Windows, and ECO Window Systems. The goal is every opening protected, which is also what your insurance carrier wants to see.

Trusted Brands We Service in North Palm Beach
We install products from eight authorized manufacturers, including PGT, CGI, CWS, ES Windows, and ECO Window Systems. Being authorized matters: it means the factory stands behind the installation, the warranty is real, and we’re not sourcing gray-market units. For North Palm Beach jobs, we typically spec PGT WinGuard on ocean-facing elevations and CGI or CWS where budgets call for a mid-tier option that still carries strong coastal ratings. Ed’s name is on the door, so we don’t put a brand in your home we wouldn’t put in ours a block from the Intracoastal.
Common Impact Windows Problems We See in North Palm Beach Homes
- Salt pitting on original aluminum frames: The jamb and sash channels on 60-year-old aluminum rough up and pit from constant ocean and Intracoastal salt exposure. That lets salt air bypass the weatherstripping and corrode the hardware from the inside, which is why the sashes stop sealing even if the glass looks fine.
- Jalousie glass slats on carports and Florida rooms: The louvered jalousie windows common in 1960s construction flex under wind load and allow water intrusion through the louvered openings during squalls. Current Florida Building Code wind provisions for this coastal strip prohibit new jalousies, so any permit on those openings triggers a mandatory replacement with impact-rated units.
- Seal failures in laminated low-E glass units: When a homeowner replaces only the glass and reuses the original non-impact frames, the extra weight of laminated low-E IGUs overloads the old jambs. The insulated glass units bow and fog, and you’re paying twice for the same opening.
- Corrosion at the weatherstripping interface: North Palm Beach’s humidity and salt content eat weatherstripping faster than inland. Frames that pass a visual inspection often fail an air-infiltration test because the seals have hardened and shrunk over a few seasons.
Pricing for Impact Windows in North Palm Beach, FL
You’ll see impact window pricing in North Palm Beach clustered around $800 to $1,500 per window installed for standard sizes, with whole-home packages running $8,000 to $25,000 and up depending on how many openings and how many are non-standard. What moves the quote here specifically is the dual salt environment: we won’t spec a frame that can’t hold up to ocean and Intracoastal exposure both, and that occasionally means a stronger, slightly pricier frame than an inland quote. The price we write down is the price you pay. No change orders because we discovered the opening was bigger, no surprise upcharges at the end. Call (844) 901-4551 and we’ll measure and quote it line by line.

FAQs — Impact Windows in North Palm Beach
Jalousies were standard on carports and Florida rooms in the single-family zones west of US-1 that were subdivided in the early 1960s, and many still survive because they were never permitted for anything since. No, they cannot stay if you pull a permit. Current Florida Building Code wind provisions for this coastal strip explicitly prohibit new jalousie windows, so any kitchen or bath remodel that touches those openings triggers a mandatory impact-window replacement line item on the permit. That’s actually good news if you’re planning a remodel anyway: the replacement gets folded into one permit, one schedule, one inspection. Call (844) 901-4551 if you want us to check your openings against your remodel scope before you file.
Salt air from both directions attacks the frame, the hardware, and the weatherstripping simultaneously, but the real killer is pitting on aluminum jamb and sash channels. Once the channels pit, the weatherstripping can’t seal, and salt-laden air works its way inside the frame to corrode the balances and locks. On original 1960s aluminum frames near the water, this is often advanced enough that the sashes won’t seal at all. Impact glass itself is fine; it’s the frame that fails. We spec frame materials and coatings specifically for this dual-exposure reality. Call (844) 901-4551 for a free evaluation of what’s on your house right now.
For most openings in North Palm Beach, a Florida Product Approval is enough. Where a Miami-Dade NOA becomes necessary is on specific exposures: ocean-facing elevations and certain wind zones near the Lake Worth Inlet, plus any opening where the design pressure calculation demands it. The answer depends on your exact street, elevation, and opening size. We run the numbers for your specific openings and spec the cheapest compliant unit, not the heaviest one we can sell. Call (844) 901-4551 and we’ll tell you what your block actually requires.
Yes, in almost every case. The windstorm-premium credit is tied to a wind-mitigation inspection that verifies every opening, including the garage door, is protected. A house with impact windows on the front and old single-panes on the back typically gets no credit at all, because the unprotected openings compromise the whole envelope. That’s why we always price the full opening scope, not the visible street-facing windows. The inspection itself runs $75 to $150 and the typical credit lands around 25% off the windstorm portion. Call (844) 901-4551 to get a full-opening quote that makes the insurance conversation worth having.
Because custom impact units are fabricated to order, and that production run is typically 4 to 6 weeks from the day the order is placed. Installation itself is often a single day once the units arrive on site. The delays happen when the windows get ordered after the demo begins, which means the remodel sits with open walls waiting on glass. We coordinate the order before the tear-out, so the units are on site the week the permit is issued. That’s how the Lighthouse Drive job ran: long-lead insulated glass ordered before the kitchen came apart, installation day was a day, not a month. Call (844) 901-4551 before you file the permit and we’ll put the order timeline in writing.
