This page covers what Boca Del Mar homeowners actually pay, which permits Palm Beach County requires, and why Miami-Dade NOA products don’t automatically fly here. If you’re staring at a non-renewal notice from your insurer, you’ll find the answer below.

Why Winslow Windows & Doors Is Boca Del Mar’s Preferred Window Replacement Company

Ed Winslow’s name is on the door, and on every job we do. That matters in a place like Boca Del Mar, where the housing stock is uniform enough that you can spot a bad window install from the street. We’ve been locally owned and operated since 2011, and our crews know the difference between a PGT window rated for Palm Beach County’s design wind speed and one that only carries a Miami-Dade NOA. That single distinction is why so many Boca Del Mar homeowners call us after another contractor’s work fails county inspection.

Every technician who pulls up to a home near Boca Rio Road or Palmetto Park Road is background-checked and in uniform. You’ll know who’s at your door before they ring the bell. We maintain a published address and license number, so there’s no shell company between you and the person accountable for the work. When you call (844) 901-4551, a live person answers. That’s true at 2 p.m. and at 2 a.m. No voicemail loops, no call center in another state.

Our Window Replacement Services in Boca Del Mar

Most Boca Del Mar homes were built between 1973 and 1988 as CBS (concrete block and stucco) construction. That means standard retrofit and replacement methods apply, but the condition of the original aluminum frames often dictates which approach is smarter. Here’s what we handle most often in 33433.

Full Frame Replacement

Full frame replacement is the dominant job in Boca Del Mar because the original aluminum frames are usually pitted and seized from decades of salt-laden air. We remove the entire frame down to the concrete opening, reset the jamb, and install a new impact-rated unit with proper flange and sealant details. Done wrong, this voids the builder’s structural warranty and cracks the stucco. Done right, it’s a permanent fix. Full frame work runs $800–$1,500 per window installed in Boca Del Mar depending on size and product.

Insert Window Replacement

If your original frames are still square and the glazing is the only failure, insert replacement often makes sense. We pull the old sash, leave the existing frame in place, and set a new impact-rated unit inside it. This is faster and less invasive, but it only works when the frame is structurally sound. In Boca Del Mar, that’s maybe 30% of homes we see. The other 70% have too much oxidation to save the frame.

Vinyl Replacement Windows

Vinyl holds up well in South Florida’s humidity, which is why so many Boca Del Mar homeowners choose it for non-impact openings or for rooms that don’t face the coast. Vinyl replacement windows in Boca Del Mar typically run $500–$900 per window installed for standard sizes. If the opening needs impact glazing, the price moves into impact territory. We’ll tell you which openings actually need impact-rated glass based on Palm Beach County’s wind zone requirements, not a sales script.

Energy-Efficient Upgrade

Those original single-pane aluminum windows are thermal sieves. The intense South Florida UV has degraded whatever weatherstripping and butyl seals they once had, so they leak conditioned air straight into the CBS wall cavity. Upgrading to low-E insulated glazing cuts heat gain in summer and reduces your cooling load year-round. The federal 25C energy credit covers 30% of product cost on qualifying units, up to $600 per year. In Boca Del Mar, energy-efficient replacement windows add measurable resale value because buyers here expect impact-rated, insulated glass as the baseline.

Trusted Brands We Service in Boca Del Mar

We’re an authorized installer for PGT, CGI, CWS, and ES Windows, among others. That matters in Boca Del Mar because Palm Beach County’s product approval requirements are specific: each unit’s Florida Product Approval number must be rated to the county’s design wind speed, not just Miami-Dade’s HVHZ standard. We stock local parts for these brands and can usually turn a standard replacement around quickly. When a PGT unit gets a bad seal or a CGI hinge binds, you don’t want to wait on a parts shipment from a supplier who doesn’t service this market. We keep the fast-moving components on hand.

Common Window Replacement Problems We See in Boca Del Mar Homes

• Miami-Dade NOA products that fail Palm Beach County inspection. This is the most common and most expensive mistake we see. An installer works the Broward County market, gets used to Miami-Dade NOA approvals, and carries that product list into Boca Del Mar. The county building division rejects it, and the homeowner pays for a reorder and a second permit cycle. Always verify the Florida Product Approval number against Palm Beach County’s design wind speed before ordering. We do this on every job.
• HOA architectural rejection over frame color or style. Many Boca Del Mar communities have an approved palette, and deviating from it triggers a redo. Before we order a single unit, we confirm the frame color, style, and grid pattern against your community’s architectural guidelines. It saves weeks of delay and the cost of uninstalling a perfectly good window.
• Original aluminum frames seized by salt-air pitting. Boca Del Mar sits 3–5 miles inland from the Atlantic, close enough that salt-laden air accelerates oxidation on original aluminum frames. The frames bind, the sashes won’t lift, and the glazing seals fail long before the glass itself cracks. You can’t repair pitting. The frame has to come out.
• Stucco cracking from improper full-frame flange work. When a crew cuts into a CBS opening without proper flange and sealant details, the stucco cracks within a season or two. Water follows the crack, and the wall cavity stays damp. In Boca Del Mar’s concrete block homes, that dampness can go unnoticed for years until the interior drywall shows staining. We’ve fixed too many of these after the fact.

What Window Replacement Costs in Boca Del Mar

We covered the per-window numbers above, but the full picture matters when you’re budgeting a whole-home project. A typical 1970s CBS home in Boca Del Mar has somewhere between 10 and 18 window openings. If all of them are original single-pane aluminum, you’re looking at a full-home impact retrofit around $8,000–$18,000 for mid-range product. Larger homes with more openings or custom geometric windows can push past $25,000.

In the Boca Del Mar neighborhood off Lyons Road, our crew replaced 14 original single-pane aluminum windows with PGT impact-rated double-hung units after the homeowners got a non-renewal notice from their property insurer. We pulled permits through Palm Beach County, verified the Florida Product Approval numbers against the county’s design wind speed, and reset the jambs to correct years of salt-air pitting that had seized the original sashes. That job came in at just under $14,000 with permit and inspection included.

Here’s the line-item math for Boca Del Mar’s market:

• Impact windows, standard opening: $800–$1,500 per window installed
• Impact single-hung, standard opening: $900–$1,800 per window installed
• Large or custom opening (picture, geometric, oversized slider): $2,500–$5,000 per opening
• Whole-home retrofit, 10–18 openings: $8,000–$25,000+

We measure every opening, confirm the product approval against Palm Beach County’s design wind speed, and give you a written quote with a fixed price. Free in-home measure, no trip charge inside our home county. Call (844) 901-4551.

Florida Pays You Back

Florida has a stack of incentives that materially reduce the cost of window replacement in Boca Del Mar, and you should know about all of them before you write a check. First, My Safe Florida Home matching grants can cover up to $10,000 in qualifying wind-mitigation upgrades for eligible homeowners. Second, Florida exempts impact-resistant windows and doors from sales tax. Third, the federal 25C energy credit returns 30% of product cost on qualifying energy-efficient units, up to $600 per year. Fourth, after a wind-mitigation inspection (typically $75–$150), many Boca Del Mar homeowners see their windstorm premium drop by around 25% on the wind portion of the policy. These programs carry eligibility rules, and carriers set final premium numbers. We can point you to the right inspectors and documentation. We don’t guarantee a specific rebate or credit amount, and neither should anyone who quotes you one.

One comparison worth making: impact windows versus hurricane shutters. Shutters are cheaper up front, but you have to hang them every time a storm approaches, they don’t stop UV degradation of your existing windows, and they do nothing for your cooling load the other 350 days a year. Impact windows are permanent. They’re always on. No panels to drag out of the garage at midnight. For Boca Del Mar homeowners planning to stay in the home more than a few years, the impact retrofit is usually the better financial decision once you factor premium credits, resale value, and daily comfort.

Do I Need Palm Beach County Approval for Replacement Windows in Boca Del Mar?

Yes, and here’s the part most people get wrong. Boca Del Mar is unincorporated Palm Beach County. Every window replacement permit goes through the Palm Beach County Building Division, not a city department. That matters because Palm Beach County sits just north of the High-Velocity Hurricane Zone boundary. Impact products carrying a Miami-Dade NOA are not automatically code-compliant here. Each product must carry a Florida Product Approval number rated to the county’s specific design wind speed. A crew that works Broward County all day may not know this. We do. It’s the single most common reason replacements fail inspection in 33433, and it’s completely avoidable.
