AfterFast, Reliable Impact Windows Across Boca Del Mar
Impact window installation in Boca Del Mar runs $800 to $1,500 per window for standard openings, with whole-home retrofits typically landing between $8,000 and $25,000 or more depending on opening count and wind-load requirements. That’s the honest range for a community where nearly every home was built between 1973 and 1988 with original single-pane aluminum frames that no longer satisfy Palm Beach County’s wind-load design criteria. We’ve retrofitted countless CBS ranch homes in Timbercreek, Boca Del Mar’s original subdivisions, and the neighborhoods along Palmetto Park Road, so we know exactly what your permit reviewer will ask for. Call (844) 901-4551 and Ed Winslow or a member of our team will walk you through what your home actually needs, not what a sales script says you should buy.

Our Impact Windows Services in Boca Del Mar
Full-Home Impact-Rated Retrofit
Most Boca Del Mar homes need a complete window replacement, not a patch job. Original aluminum single-hungs from the 1970s and early 1980s have frames that pitted from salt air, lost their glazing seals, and can’t carry a large-missile rating without full removal and new anchoring. We handle the entire retrofit: engineered anchoring into the CBS wall, new impact-rated units sized to your actual rough openings, and a final product that passes Palm Beach County’s design pressure test. One opening at a time or the whole house, done in sequence so you’re never left with a boarded-up wall overnight.
Palm Beach County Wind-Load Compliance and Permitting
Because Boca Del Mar is unincorporated, every permit runs through Palm Beach County Building Division, not a city department. That’s a distinction that trips up Broward County crews every week. A Miami-Dade NOA product is not automatically code-compliant in Palm Beach County. We confirm each unit’s Florida Product Approval number against the county’s specific design wind speed before we ever submit the permit package. That step alone saves homeowners weeks of back-and-forth and rejected submissions.
Wind Mitigation Documentation for Insurance Credits
After your retrofit is complete, we provide the documentation your insurance carrier needs under Florida Statute 627.0629 to apply the windstorm premium credit. We document each opening, the product approval number, the anchoring method, and the design pressure rating. Palm Beach County homeowners see meaningful premium reductions after a verified wind mitigation inspection, and our paperwork is built to support that inspection from day one.
Impact Sliding Glass and Patio Doors
Those original builder-grade sliding doors on the back of your Boca Del Mar home are often the weakest opening on the entire structure. We replace them with impact-rated sliders from PGT or CGI, properly anchored to the existing CBS wall with the same large-missile rating as your new windows. A slider that doesn’t meet the wind-load design pressure for your specific elevation can compromise the whole wind mitigation credit, so we never treat a door as an afterthought.

Trusted Brands We Service in Boca Del Mar
We’re an authorized installer for PGT, CGI, CWS, ES Windows, and several other premium manufacturers, but the brand matters less than the rating it carries for your specific opening. In Boca Del Mar, that usually means a large-missile rated product with a Florida Product Approval number recognized by Palm Beach County. We stock replacement hardware and common component parts locally, so service calls in 33433 don’t wait on a warehouse three counties away. If you already have a specific brand in mind, tell us and we’ll spec the exact series and configuration that meets code here.
Common Impact Windows Problems We See in Boca Del Mar Homes
- Pitted and corroded aluminum frames from salt air: Sitting 3 to 5 miles inland from the Atlantic puts Boca Del Mar squarely in the path of salt-laden ocean air. Original aluminum frames oxidize, pit, and bind until sashes won’t open or close without real force.
- Failed glazing seals and chronic moisture intrusion: The South Florida UV cycle degrades 40-year-old butyl and weatherstripping, letting water seep into the CBS wall cavity. You might not see the leak until the drywall stains or the frame starts to warp.
- Non-compliant original windows triggering insurance non-renewal: Florida property insurers are aggressively dropping or surcharging homes with pre-Andrew windows. Many Boca Del Mar homeowners call us after receiving a non-renewal notice that names their single-pane aluminum windows as the reason.
- Improper retrofits by crews unfamiliar with Palm Beach County code: A Miami-Dade NOA product without a Palm Beach County-recognized Florida Product Approval will fail at permit review. We fix these mistakes for homeowners who hired the wrong crew first.
Pricing for Impact Windows in Boca Del Mar, FL
A standard impact single-hung window in Boca Del Mar runs $900 to $1,800 installed. Larger or custom openings, including picture windows, radius units, or floor-to-ceiling casements, land between $2,500 and $5,000 per opening. Whole-home packages for the typical three and four-bedroom CBS ranch in 33433 run $8,000 to $25,000 plus, depending on opening count, frame material, and the wind-load design pressure your specific street and elevation require. The price you’re quoted should include the permit, the engineered anchoring, the product itself, and the installation labor. Ours does. We don’t pad the invoice with surprise line items after the fact. Call (844) 901-4551 and we’ll schedule a free in-home measure and give you a written quote with every opening priced out.
What Impact Windows Costs in Boca Del Mar
Here’s a straight answer, because you deserve one before you even pick up the phone. Impact windows in Boca Del Mar generally run $800 to $1,500 per window installed. Single-hung impact units go $900 to $1,800. Large or custom openings like picture windows or sliders run $2,500 to $5,000. Whole-home packages for the CBS ranches that dominate this community run $8,000 to $25,000 and up, depending on how many openings you have and what wind-load design pressure applies to your lot. What moves the price in Boca Del Mar specifically? Opening count is the big one. Floor height matters too, because wind speed increases with elevation, and second-story openings on a few of the larger 1980s builds need a higher design pressure rating. Frame material is another factor: vinyl keeps cost down, aluminum is mid-range, and premium aluminum from PGT or CGI pushes the top end. But the single biggest cost driver here is whether your current rough openings are stock sizes. On 1970s and early 1980s Boca Del Mar homes, jamb depths and rough openings vary enough that a crew who treats every opening as stock will force a unit in and compromise the large-missile rating. We don’t do that. We measure every opening, and if something’s out of square or out of stock size, we tell you before we quote, not after demolition starts. Free in-home measure. Written line-item quote. Call (844) 901-4551 and Ed or someone from his team will come out and give it to you straight.
Florida Pays You Back
You’re already paying for Florida’s windstorm risk through your premiums. The state gives you several ways to claw some of that back when you install impact windows in Boca Del Mar. The My Safe Florida Home program offers matching grants up to $10,000 for qualifying wind-mitigation upgrades. Florida waives sales tax on impact-resistant windows and doors. The federal 25C energy credit returns 30% of product cost, up to $600 per year, on qualifying energy-efficient units. And after a wind-mitigation inspection, which costs anywhere from $75 to $150, the windstorm portion of your premium typically drops by roughly 25%. That’s the average, not a guarantee. Your carrier sets the final numbers, and your home’s specific construction and location matter. What we do is give you the documentation and the product approvals to support the maximum credit you’re entitled to. Insurers in Palm Beach County don’t hand out credits on trust, they hand them out on paperwork. Ours is complete the day the job’s done.
Why Shutters Aren’t the Same Thing
Some Boca Del Mar homeowners ask us about hurricane shutters as a cheaper alternative. Here’s the honest comparison. Shutters protect the opening while they’re deployed, and only if someone’s home to hang the panels and tension them properly. Impact windows protect the opening 24/7, 365 days a year, whether you’re asleep in the house or away for the weekend. They never need to be put up or taken down. They also do double duty as your everyday window: energy-efficient, UV-blocking, and quiet. Shutters are a metal shell over a window that’s still drafty and single-pane underneath. If you’re already replacing 40-year-old aluminum windows that leak and bind, putting shutters over them is like bolting armor onto a car with no suspension. Impact windows are the permanent fix. They’re the upgrade that lowers your insurance premium, not just the one that keeps a storm out.

FAQs — Impact Windows in Boca Del Mar
Because Palm Beach County is a different jurisdiction with different product approval requirements. A product carrying a Miami-Dade NOA is tested to Miami-Dade’s High-Velocity Hurricane Zone standard, but Palm Beach County sits just north of that boundary and requires each product’s Florida Product Approval number to be rated for the county’s specific design wind speed. Broward County crews who assume their approved list crosses the county line unchanged end up with a permit rejection at Palm Beach County Building Division. We confirm the Florida Product Approval for every unit before we submit the permit. Call (844) 901-4551 if you’ve had a competitor’s permit rejected and want a straight answer on what it’ll take to fix it.
Most single-story CBS homes in Boca Del Mar’s 33433 neighborhoods require large-missile rated impact windows with a design pressure rating that matches Palm Beach County’s wind speed zone for your specific address and opening dimensions. The exact number varies by elevation, roof geometry, and how far the opening sits from the corner of the structure. A qualified installer runs the numbers for each opening before quoting. We do that as part of every free measure. Call (844) 901-4551 and we’ll give you the specific design pressure your home needs, not a generic number pulled from a chart.
Look at the frame, not the glass. If the aluminum is pitting, chalky, or showing white oxidation bloom, the frame is corroding from salt air. If the sash binds when you try to open it, or if condensation fogs between the panes, the seal is already gone and moisture is getting into the wall. If you see water stains on the drywall below or around the window opening, the leak is active. In Boca Del Mar, that 40-year-old aluminum frame was never designed for this environment. By the time the glass itself fails, the damage to the rough opening has usually been happening for years. Get a free measure and we’ll tell you honestly whether repair or replacement makes sense.
It usually does, and often significantly, but the premium credit comes from a wind mitigation inspection that documents openings with verified impact-rated protection and Florida Product Approval numbers. A partial retrofit can still earn a partial credit, but the inspection form gives credit for each protected opening individually. The more openings protected, the larger the credit. Some carriers require full protection of all glazed openings before they’ll apply the maximum windstorm premium discount at all. Call (844) 901-4551 and we’ll document your openings in a way that supports the largest credit your home qualifies for.
Yes, but the credit will be smaller. Florida’s wind mitigation inspection form credits each opening individually. Protect the bedrooms and living areas first if you’re phasing the work, since those are the openings inspectors weight most heavily. Some carriers require all glazed openings to be protected before they apply any windstorm credit at all, so check with your agent before you commit to a partial scope. We’ll give you a written quote that phases the work in whatever order makes sense for your budget and your policy. Estimates are free.
What Goes Into a Compliant Impact Window Retrofit in Boca Del Mar
Here’s what a compliant quote includes, and what a cheap one leaves out. First, the Florida Product Approval number for every unit, confirmed against Palm Beach County’s design wind speed, not just Miami-Dade’s NOA. Second, engineering for the CBS wall’s original anchor spacing. Those 1970s walls were built to a different standard, and the new impact windows need anchoring that actually meets the design pressure test. Third, the permit through Palm Beach County Building Division, pulled before work starts and inspected after. Fourth, wind mitigation documentation for your insurance carrier. A cheap quote skips one or more of those steps. You find out when the permit gets rejected, or the inspection fails, or your insurance credit gets denied after the fact. We don’t cut those corners. Ed Winslow signs his name to the quote, and he stands behind it with the Done Right Promise: if it’s not done right, we make it right. Period.
