AfterFast, Reliable Window Installation Across North Palm Beach
Window installation in North Palm Beach is a different job than it is five miles inland. Every lot here sits within a block or two of tidal saltwater from the Intracoastal, Lake Worth Lagoon, or the village’s canal grid. That means the old aluminum frames on your 1960s or 70s CBS ranch home are corroding from the inside out, and code says any replacement has to carry impact-rated glazing rated for a coastal wind zone. We’ve been doing exactly this work for years, and we know what a compliant quote in the village actually has to include. Call Ed Winslow’s team at (561) 831-7863 for a free in-home measure and a written line-item quote.
Why Winslow Windows & Doors Is North Palm Beach’s Preferred Window Installation Company
Ed Winslow founded this company in 2011, and his name is on the door and on every job we do. We’re the locally owned, owner-operated alternative to the national chains that hand you a ticket number and a subcontracted crew. When a North Palm Beach homeowner calls, a live person answers, 24/7. No voicemail loops. The technician who shows up at your door in the Lakeside Park or Harbor Isles area is background-checked and in uniform, so you know who’s on your property before the truck pulls up.
We’ve worked enough canal-front homes in North Palm Beach to know the failure patterns before we even remove the first screw. The hidden corrosion at the sill-to-block interface on original Wausau and early Caradco aluminum sliders is so consistent in this village that we price block repair into canal-front quotes as a near-certainty, not a change order surprise. Upfront pricing is how we operate. Our Window Installation team handles every job as if it’s on our own street, because North Palm Beach is exactly the kind of community Ed built this business to serve. Every quote is backed by the 36500-Day Done Right Promise: if it’s not done right, we make it right. Period.
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’s mid-century ranch homes, and for good reason. They fit the existing rough openings of those 1960s-70s CBS block houses without major structural work, and modern impact-rated hung windows finally give these homes the coastal wind-load compliance the original single-pane aluminum never had. In the village’s salt-air environment, we recommend frames that won’t pit and seize the way the originals did, and every hung unit we set on a canal-front lot meets the Miami-Dade NOA requirements your wind mitigation inspection will check.
Horizontal Roller Windows
Horizontal roller windows are everywhere in North Palm Beach’s older housing stock, especially on the low-rise waterfront properties built between the late 1950s and early 1980s. Many of those original sliders are so corroded at the sill that they don’t seal against driving rain anymore, which is a serious issue in a village that catches Atlantic squalls from the east. We replace them with impact-rated horizontal rollers carrying Florida Product Approval numbers for this wind zone, and we rebuild the block openings when tidal humidity has eaten the anchors.
3-Panel Sliding (3-Lite Roller) Windows
Three-panel sliders are a signature feature on North Palm Beach waterfront homes, where wide canal and Intracoastal views are the whole point of the lot. Replacing one means matching the design pressure for a much larger opening, which is exactly where cheap bids fall apart. Our team at Window Installation in North Palm Beach sizes every 3-lite roller to the specific opening dimensions and the village’s coastal wind-speed exposure zone, so the new unit actually carries the rating your insurer will ask to see on a wind mitigation inspection report.
Casement Windows
Casement windows aren’t as common in original North Palm Beach stock as sliders, but they’re a smart upgrade for homeowners who want the tightest seal against salt-laden wind. A properly installed impact casement compresses the gasket against the frame on all four sides when closed, which is why we recommend them on east-facing elevations that catch the direct salt spray off the Atlantic. Every casement we install in North Palm Beach is anchored to block that’s been checked for hidden corrosion first, not just caulked over and called done.

Trusted Brands We Service in North Palm Beach
We’re an authorized installer for PGT, CGI, CWS, and ES Windows, which means we can order exact replacement sashes, hardware, and impact glass without the sourcing guesswork. For North Palm Beach homeowners, that’s the difference between a one-week turnaround on brand-specific parts and a six-week wait while some other contractor tries to source through a third party. Our familiarity with the product lines most common in this village, especially the CGI and PGT impact units that dominate coastal Palm Beach County, means we’re quoting and installing units we know perform in salt-air environments. These are the brands designed for exactly what North Palm Beach throws at them.
Common Window Installation Problems We See in North Palm Beach Homes
- Hidden sill-to-block corrosion on canal-front homes. On a canal-front street in the Lakeside Park neighborhood, we pulled a pair of original Wausau aluminum sliders that looked fine from the inside, but the sill-to-block interface crumbled when we unbolted them. Decades of tidal humidity had wicked through failed weep holes and eaten the anchors. We rebuilt the block openings, then set PGT impact-rated double-hungs with Miami-Dade NOA compliance, so the homeowners now have a documented wind mitigation credit for their policy.
- Pre-Andrew aluminum frames that can’t be re-glazed into compliance. We regularly see homeowners who think replacing just the glass in their original jalousie or slider frames will save money and satisfy code. It won’t. Those frames can’t meet current Florida Building Code design pressure for North Palm Beach’s coastal wind zone, no matter what glass goes in them.
- Salt-spray pitting that seizes hardware and destroys sealant adhesion. The village sits between the Intracoastal and the Atlantic, so salt deposition happens year-round. We see aluminum hardware so pitted it won’t operate, and old sealant that’s pulled clean away from the frame, leaving gaps that let in the same salt air that caused the problem in the first place.
- Non-impact units installed by out-of-area bidders who don’t know the wind zone. A cheap quote from a company that does most of its work in Palm Beach Gardens might not account for North Palm Beach’s specific coastal exposure. The homeowner gets a non-compliant window, fails the wind mitigation inspection, and loses the insurance premium credit Florida Statute 627.0629 requires insurers to offer. We see this too often.
Pricing for Window Installation in North Palm Beach, FL
Impact window installation in North Palm Beach generally runs $800 to $1,500 per window installed. A standard impact single-hung runs $900 to $1,800 depending on size and the design pressure rating the opening requires. Large or custom openings, like the 3-panel sliders on waterfront homes, run $2,500 to $5,000. Whole-home packages across the village’s typical 1,500-2,500 square foot ranch homes land between $8,000 and $25,000 or more, depending on opening count and whether we’re rebuilding corroded block at the sills. What moves the price in North Palm Beach specifically: canal-front lots almost always need some block repair before anchoring, openings on the east elevation need higher design pressure ratings, and every permitted change-out requires the paperwork trail that a cheap quote quietly omits. Our quotes include the permit, the product approval documentation for your exact configuration, and the site conditions we already know we’ll find in this village. Call (561) 831-7863 for your free written estimate, no trip charge inside the county.
What Window Installation Costs in North Palm Beach
The numbers above are what we actually see in North Palm Beach, and they’re useful for comparing against any quote you get. Impact windows in this village generally run $800 to $1,500 per window installed. Impact single-hung units run $900 to $1,800. Large or custom openings, think the big 3-lite sliders and picture windows on waterfront elevations, run $2,500 to $5,000. Whole-home packages generally run $8,000 to $25,000 or more. What moves the number is opening count, the wind zone rating on the exact elevation, floor height above grade, and whether the existing block at the sill is sound enough to anchor a new impact frame. On canal-front properties, the answer to that last question is frequently no. Ed Winslow’s team will measure every opening, check every sill, and hand you a written line-item quote before any work is scheduled. No change orders later because we found what we already knew to look for.
Florida Pays You Back
North Palm Beach homeowners have one of the best incentive stacks in the country for impact window installation, and a compliant job is the key to unlocking it. The My Safe Florida Home program offers matching grants up to $10,000 for qualifying wind-mitigation upgrades, and impact windows are one of the primary eligible improvements. Florida also has a sales-tax exemption on impact-resistant windows and doors, which takes the tax line out of a five-figure project. The federal 25C energy credit covers 30% of the product cost up to $600 per year on qualifying energy-efficient units. And the big one for North Palm Beach: a wind-mitigation inspection, which runs about $75 to $150, can document your new impact windows and open up windstorm premium credits that average around 25% on the windstorm portion of your policy. Programs and carriers set the final numbers, and we can’t guarantee an exact credit, but we can guarantee the installation is documented properly so your inspection doesn’t fail on a technicality.

FAQs - Window Installation in North Palm Beach
Yes. North Palm Beach sits within a coastal wind-speed exposure zone under the Florida Building Code, which means any permitted window or door change-out must meet impact-rated glazing requirements or carry an approved storm protection alternative. There’s no exemption for the village’s older ranch homes, and a non-impact unit will fail a wind mitigation inspection. Call (561) 831-7863 and we’ll tell you exactly what rating your specific openings need.
In most cases, yes, but only if the installation is documented correctly. Florida Statute 627.0629 requires insurers to offer premium credits for wind mitigation features, and impact-rated windows are one of the primary qualifying upgrades. The key is that your wind mitigation inspection form has to match your permit documentation and your product approval numbers. We provide the full paperwork trail on every North Palm Beach job, so the credit doesn’t get denied over a missing form.
That’s determined opening by opening, based on your home’s elevation, wind zone, and where the opening sits on the structure. In North Palm Beach’s coastal exposure zone, we routinely specify units with design pressures up to the +/-, well, up to the limits of the rating system, which caps at +/-100 PSF. The wind speed requirement is tied to your specific location in the village. We size the exact rating during the free measure, and we never install a unit that doesn’t meet the code for that specific wall and elevation.
Because decades of tidal humidity wick through failed weep holes and corrode the aluminum anchors and the block interface behind the sill. A unit that looks fine from the street can be completely deteriorated at the anchoring points. We find this on nearly every canal-front job in the village, and we price it in from the start. Call (561) 831-7863 for a quote that reflects what we’ll actually find, not a fantasy number that balloons later.
Not if you want a compliant, insurable home. Original North Palm Beach jalousie windows from the 1960s and 70s do not meet current Florida Building Code requirements for impact or wind load, and re-glazing the glass doesn’t change that. The frame itself is the problem, not just the pane. We’ll give you an honest assessment and a quote for a proper impact-rated replacement that will actually pass an inspection and earn you the insurance credit. Estimates are free.
