AfterFast, Reliable Window Installation Across North Palm Beach
Window installation in North Palm Beach runs $800 to $1,800 per opening for impact-rated units, with whole-home packages typically landing between $8,000 and $25,000+. The number moves based on how many windows you’re replacing, whether the existing framing can hold modern laminated glass, and what your wind zone demands under the Florida Building Code. Ed Winslow started this company in 2011, and when you call (844) 901-4551 about Window Installation here, you’ll get a real person on the line, not a call center.
North Palm Beach is a narrow strip of land between the Atlantic Ocean and the Intracoastal Waterway. That means every window on your house gets salt spray from two directions, all year. It’s one of the most aggressive corrosion environments in Palm Beach County. We treat window work here differently because the houses demand it: most were built between the late 1950s and early 1970s, and the original aluminum frames and jalousie louvers simply were not designed for this much salt, this much wind, or today’s code. We know the difference because we’ve opened enough walls along Prosperity Farms Road, Lakeshore Drive, and the canal streets off Yacht Club Drive to see what 60 years of salt air does to a rough opening. That’s what makes trusted North Palm Beach window work different from inland installations.
Why Winslow Windows & Doors Is North Palm Beach’s Preferred Window Installation Company
Ed’s name is on the door, and Ed’s name is on every job we do. We don’t subcontract our Door Installation in North Palm Beach or window installations to whoever’s available. Every technician who pulls up to a North Palm Beach home is background-checked, uniformed, and has already been identified to you before the truck stops. That matters here because this is a village where neighbors still talk, and a bad install on Lighthouse Drive gets mentioned at the Sunday farmers market before lunch.
We’ve been at this since 2011, and the things that go wrong on North Palm Beach window jobs have become predictable to us. Corroded jambs. Undersized rough openings. Flashing that disintegrated sometime around 1980. Permits that trigger code upgrades no one mentioned in the first quote. Homeowners here have told us they’d rather know the truth up front than get a surprise change order. So we price that way. Every estimate is a written line item. If we open a wall and find something, you approve the fix in writing before we touch it. No vague allowances, no handshake math.
We’re also the only Window Installation company of our size in the area backing every job with the Done Right Promise. If it’s not done right, we come back and make it right. That’s not a warranty card that expires. It’s a hundred years of Ed’s word. You can verify who we are: we publish our address, our license number, and our ownership. No shell companies, no ticket numbers, no national chain runaround. Our crews serve North Palm Beach locally, with scheduling coordinated from our South Florida metro office.
Our Window Installation Services in North Palm Beach
Single & Double Hung Windows
Single and double hung windows are the most common replacement we install in North Palm Beach ranch homes and two-story CBS builds. Original units here are almost always single-pane aluminum, and by now the spring balances are shot, the tracks are pitted from salt, and the glass does nothing to stop wind-borne debris. We install PGT and CGI hung windows with laminated interlayers and large-missile ratings that match the wind zone east of the Intracoastal. A typical double hung replacement in a 1964 CBS home runs $900 to $1,800 per opening, including new flashing and tying the jamb to the existing block.
3-Panel Sliding (3-Lite Roller) Windows
our Sliding Glass & Patio Doors in North Palm Beach — three-panel sliders in particular — dominate Florida rooms and lanai conversions throughout the area. These are big openings, sometimes 8 to 12 feet wide, and the original 1960s tracks are usually corroded beyond repair. When we install a 3-lite roller in this village, we’re typically reframing the header and adding a new sill pan because the old one leaks. Expect $2,500 to $5,000 for larger configurations once framing and flashing are done correctly. Done right, a 3-panel slider on a canal-facing wall gives you the view without sacrificing the impact rating.
Casement Windows
Casement windows seal tighter than sliders or hung windows because the sash compresses against the frame when closed. In North Palm Beach, where wind-driven rain off the Atlantic pushes water through every gap, that compression matters. We recommend casements for east-facing walls along the ocean side of the village. The crank hardware on old aluminum casements here is frequently seized from salt. Replacing them with modern stainless hardware and impact glass is straightforward for our crews, and the result actually seals. Cost runs $800 to $1,500 per unit depending on size and whether the rough opening needs reframing.

Trusted Brands We Service in North Palm Beach
We install and service windows from PGT, CGI, CWS, and Mr-Glass, among our authorized brand lineup. These are the products Florida architects specify for coastal zones, and we stock common components for quicker turnaround on North Palm Beach jobs. PGT and CGI dominate our installations here because their laminated glass and marine-grade finishes hold up to the dual salt exposure this village dishes out. When Ed’s crew installs a CGI casement or a PGT double hung on a canal home off Lakeshore Drive, we’re matching the design pressure rating to the actual opening, not just selling a brand name.
Common Window Installation Problems We See in North Palm Beach Homes
- Corroded original aluminum frames. Salt air from both the ocean and the Intracoastal eats aluminum from the outside in. By year 30, which most original North Palm Beach homes are well past, frames are pitted, tracks are frozen, and water is getting behind the flange.
- Jalousie windows everywhere. Those louvered glass slats were standard on 1960s CBS builds. Today they’re prohibited under Florida Building Code wind requirements for this coastal zone. Any permitted renovation triggers mandatory replacement. We see them on carports, Florida rooms, and side openings all over the village.
- Undersized rough openings. Original jalousie and single-pane openings were framed for thin, lightweight aluminum. Modern impact-rated laminated glass is heavier and needs a deeper, stronger frame. When we open a wall and find this, the fix is real framing work, not a shim.
- Failed waterproofing at sills and jambs. Original CBS construction often skipped proper flashing. Decades of wind-driven rain push water into the rough opening, rot the wood buck, and stain interior drywall. New flashing is the only correct repair before new windows go in.
What Window Installation Costs in North Palm Beach
Impact windows run $800 to $1,500 per window installed in North Palm Beach. Impact single and double hung units run a bit higher: $900 to $1,800 each, because the laminated glass interlayer and stronger frames cost more. Large or custom openings, including 3-panel sliders and bay configurations, run $2,500 to $5,000. Whole-home packages for a typical three-bedroom CBS ranch here land between $8,000 and $25,000+, depending on opening count, floor height, and whether the existing framing needs reframing. The price of a North Palm Beach window job moves on four things: number of openings, wind zone requirements (east of the Intracoastal means higher design pressures), whether we’re on the ground floor or second story, and what we find when the old frames come out.

What You Actually Get When We Open a North Palm Beach Wall
This is Ed’s favorite topic, because it’s the one no national chain ever mentions in the brochure. Opening up an older North Palm Beach home almost never goes as cleanly as the showroom floor suggests. The house was built when builders used aluminum jalousies that weighed nothing, and the rough openings reflect that. When we pull a 1964 jalousie out of a CBS wall on Lighthouse Drive, we often find the jamb completely corroded, the wood buck rotted from decades of water intrusion, and the opening too small for any modern impact-rated frame.
We handle it a specific way. First, inspection before quotation: we measure, we probe, we check for water damage around the sill. If we suspect framing issues, we write a framing allowance into the contract as a line item, not a mystery fee. Then, when the walls are open and we can see what’s actually there, any surprise gets priced and approved in writing before we touch another screw. In that Lighthouse Drive job, the original single-pane jalousie frame had corroded through, and the rough opening was undersized. Once we removed the failed waterproofing and pulled permits, we framed the opening to Florida Product Approval specs and installed a PGT double hung with a laminated glass interlayer and large-missile rating. We tied the new jamb into the existing block with epoxy-anchored straps before the inspector ever arrived. That’s what done right looks like on a 1964 North Palm Beach ranch.
If your window installer’s quote doesn’t mention framing, flashing, or permits, assume it’s coming later. Ours is written down the first time.
Florida Pays You Back
There’s real money available for North Palm Beach homeowners who upgrade to impact-rated windows and doors. My Safe Florida Home matching grants can cover up to $10,000 toward qualifying wind-mitigation upgrades, depending on eligibility and funding. Florida’s sales-tax exemption applies to impact-resistant windows and doors at the point of sale. On the federal side, the 25C credit on Energy-Efficient Windows — North Palm Beach qualifying units can return 30% of the product cost, up to $600 per year. And after a wind-mitigation inspection (typically $75 to $150), many homeowners see windstorm-premium credits averaging around 25% on the windstorm portion of their policy. We’ll never promise a specific number: your carrier and the state set the final amounts. But we’ll tell you what to ask for, and we’ll make sure the products we install carry the Florida Product Approval numbers your inspector and your insurer want to see. In North Palm Beach’s wind zone, that means Miami-Dade NOA or Florida Product Approval per configuration, with design pressures matched to the actual opening. Never a rating above what the opening can support.
Pricing for Window Installation in North Palm Beach, FL
You should know the range before you call, so here it is in plain English. A standard impact window in North Palm Beach runs $800 to $1,500 installed. A single or double hung impact unit runs $900 to $1,800. Large three-panel sliders and custom configurations run $2,500 to $5,000. Whole-home installation for a typical 1,400 to 2,200-square-foot CBS home runs $8,000 to $25,000+ depending on opening count and framing condition. That includes new flashing, permitting, and installation by our licensed crews. It does not include you having to hang hurricane panels in a storm. One more honest comparison: impact windows cost more than shutters up front, but they protect your home every single day, without you hauling panels out of a shed at 10 p.m. when a storm is coming. That’s permanent protection, not a prep ritual.
We also keep it honest on discounts. Seniors and veterans get 10% off permanently, no expiration. Any repair over $200 takes $40 off. We’ll give you a free second opinion on any written estimate. And if you’re inside the home county, there’s no trip charge. Call (844) 901-4551 for your free written quote.

FAQs — Window Installation in North Palm Beach
Because the village sits in a high-velocity hurricane zone east of the Intracoastal, and the Florida Building Code requires impact-rated or protected openings here. Any replacement that changes the opening, the frame material, or the glass requires a permit, and jalousie windows are explicitly prohibited under current code. We pull permits on every job, handle the inspections, and price the permit into your written quote. Call (844) 901-4551 if you’d like us to walk your specific property before you commit.
Salt-laden air from both the Atlantic and the Intracoastal attacks window frames from both sides simultaneously, which means standard inland aluminum frames corrode faster here than almost anywhere else in the county. Impact-rated frames with marine-grade finishes and stainless or epoxy-coated hardware are a functional necessity, not an upsell. We install PGT and CGI products specifically because their coastal configurations are built for this environment. The wrong frame in North Palm Beach will start pitting within a decade.
We show you what we found, give you a written price to fix it, and don’t proceed until you sign off. That’s the Winslow rule. If the opening is undersized, we reframe it to Florida Product Approval specs. If the wood buck is rotted, we remove it and install new pressure-treated or composite bucking with full flashing. Then we tie the new jamb into the existing block with epoxy-anchored straps. You’ll never get a surprise on the invoice.
Yes, in most cases, though the exact credit depends on your carrier and a wind-mitigation inspection. Impact-rated windows and doors are a recognized wind-mitigation improvement under Florida insurance law, and most North Palm Beach policyholders see windstorm-premium credits averaging around 25% on the windstorm portion after a passing inspection. We’ll make sure your installation paperwork includes the Florida Product Approval numbers your insurer needs. Call (844) 901-4551 to schedule a free measure and we’ll explain how the credit process works.
Usually yes, but not always. If the existing opening is structurally sound and sized correctly, we can install a 3-panel slider and flash it with minimal stucco repair around the perimeter. If the opening is undersized or the header is sagging, we have to cut the block, reframe, and restore the stucco. We’ll tell you which situation you’re in before we quote, and your written estimate will reflect it. This is exactly the kind of thing you want your installer to be straight about, because on North Palm Beach homes, it can change the job by a few thousand dollars.
