AfterTrusted Impact Windows for Palm Beach Homeowners
Palm Beach Impact Windows do two jobs at once: they stand up to hurricane-force wind and flying debris, and they cut your cooling bill every month of the year. A properly installed impact window system typically runs $2,800 to $5,600 per opening in Palm Beach, including the unit and installation. We’ve been installing them here since 2011, and Ed Winslow still walks every job site himself. Call (561) 831-7863 and you’ll get Ed or a live team member, not a call center. That’s how we’ve done it for over 15 years.
Key takeaways:
- Impact windows in Palm Beach cost roughly $2,800-$5,600 per opening, installed
- We’re an authorized installer for PGT, CGI, and ViewLux products
- Every installation is covered by our 36500-Day Done Right Promise
- A live person answers when you call (561) 831-7863, 24/7
- Free estimates, no trip charge in our home county, and a permanent 10% discount for seniors and veterans
What Our Impact Windows Service Includes
Impact windows are more than a pane swap. They’re a complete opening protection system, and our service covers everything from your first call to final inspection. Here’s what falls under the impact windows work we do in Palm Beach.
Impact Window Installation
New impact window installation means removing your existing units, prepping the openings to Florida product approval standards, and setting windows that meet Miami-Dade and Palm Beach County code for wind-borne debris protection. We install mostly PGT and CGI units in Palm Beach, sized and ordered specifically for your openings, never pulled from “off the shelf and hope it fits” inventory. Every install includes flashing, anchoring, and sealant work done to manufacturer spec, so the warranty holds up in real weather.
The installation is usually completed in one to three days for a standard single-story home. Larger two-story residences or custom geometric openings take longer. We give you a written schedule before work begins, and Ed Winslow’s name is on that paper.
Impact Window Replacement
If your existing windows are older than Florida’s 2002 building code update, they’re likely not impact-rated at all. We replace them with code-compliant units that actually protect the home, not just the idea of protection. Common triggers for replacement are failed seals, fogged glass, rusted frames, or windows that simply predate hurricane glazing standards.
Replacement work includes hauling away your old units and disposing of them properly, not leaving a pile at the curb. We also check each opening for hidden rot or water intrusion while the cavity is exposed, a step a lot of crews skip. If we find something, we show you photos and give you a written line-item price before doing any extra work.
Impact Window Repair
Impact glass can delaminate, seals can fail, and hardware can wear out from salt air exposure. We repair all of it: sash replacement, re-glazing, weatherstripping, lock replacement, and operator hardware on casement and awning windows. If your window still holds glass and frame integrity, repair is often the more honest recommendation than a full replacement.
We’ll tell you straight if a repair is worth doing or if you’re throwing money at a unit that should be retired. That candor is part of why Palm Beach homeowners keep our number. And remember: $40 off any repair over $200.
Impact Sliding Glass Door Installation
Sliding glass doors are the largest unprotected opening in most Florida homes, and they’re often the first point of failure in a storm. We install impact-rated sliding doors from PGT and CGI, including multi-panel configurations that can span 12, 16, even 20 feet across a back wall. Each installation meets large-missile impact standards, the same testing that residential windows must pass.
In our Impact Windows in North Palm Beach service area, especially on the Intracoastal side, sliders get battered by salt and sun year-round. We set stainless steel rollers and marine-grade hardware so that door opens smoothly five years from now. If your current slider takes a shoulder to slide, you know what we mean.
Impact French Door and Entry Door Installation
French doors and front entry systems need impact protection too, and not every contractor bothers to do them correctly. We install impact-rated French doors with multi-point locking systems, plus entry doors from Therma-Tru that meet Florida wind and impact code when paired with the right glazing. A heavy, solid, properly anchored door changes the feel of a home instantly.
We also handle the threshold and sill pan detailing that keeps afternoon thunderstorms from working their way under the door. That’s the kind of detail that fails after five years and leaves you re-caulking every opening. We fix it the first time.
Impact Garage Door Installation
Your garage door is a wall, and if it’s not impact-rated, it becomes a sail. A breached garage door is one of the most common causes of roof lift-off during a hurricane, because the pressure enters the home and tries to escape upward. We install impact-rated garage doors and reinforce existing doors with bracing systems from trusted manufacturers.
Most homeowners never think about the garage until a storm is named. By then, it’s too late to order a custom door. We schedule garage door assessments year-round and keep rush ordering available for homeowners who realize they’re exposed before June 1.
Impact Window Tinting and Energy Efficiency Upgrades
Impact windows already provide a layer of UV and heat reduction, but we also offer factory-integrated Low-E coatings and tinting options through our authorized brand lineup. This is especially useful for east-facing glass on Palm Beach homes, where morning sun heats rooms before the AC ever catches up. High-performance glazing can reduce solar heat gain by 30 to 50 percent, depending on the glass package.
We’ll run the numbers on different glazing options before you commit, so you know exactly what the payback period looks like on your electric bill. No vague promises, just the thermal performance data from the manufacturer.
Custom Geometric Impact Windows
Arched, round, triangular, octagonal, even trapezoid windows can all be fabricated as impact-rated units. Not every company will tell you that, because custom shapes complicate ordering and installation. We do them regularly, from eyebrow transoms over a front door in South Palm Beach to full circular portholes in mid-century homes around Lake Worth Beach.
Ordering custom impact glass requires precise field measurements, which we take ourselves, because a quarter-inch error on a radius window turns the whole unit into an expensive mistake. We’ve built our reputation on getting these right the first time, and the 36500-Day Done Right Promise backs that stubbornly exact standard.

Brands We Service for Impact Windows
We’re an authorized installer for PGT, one of Florida’s largest impact window manufacturers. That means direct factory training, direct parts access, and direct warranty support for every PGT unit we set in Palm Beach. We install PGT WinGuard and PGT’s heavier commercial-rated lines, and we know exactly how each series performs in our coastal wind zone.
We also work extensively with CGI, including their Sentinel and Estate collection, which we’ve put into dozens of homes from Palm Beach Shores to our Impact Windows in West Palm Beach area. And for homeowners who want a premium aluminum line with strong curb appeal, we install ViewLux, a brand known for narrow frames and big glass visibility. Whether you have PGT, CGI, ViewLux, or any other make already installed, we can maintain it, repair it, and replace it honestly.
Signs You Need Impact Windows Right Now
- Your windows are single-pane or pre-2002. Florida’s building code required impact-rated protection for new construction after 2002, but many Palm Beach homes predate that by decades. Single-pane glass shatters on impact, leaving you exposed to wind, water, and projectiles. If your house was built before the updated code and hasn’t been re-glazed, your windows are the weakest point in your storm envelope.
- You’re still putting up hurricane shutters every June. Shutters work, but they’re a twice-yearly ritual: haul them out, secure them, pray they’re installed right. Impact windows are always on duty. You don’t have to be home to deploy them, and you don’t have to rent a helper to lift 30-pound steel panels above your head in the heat.
- Your interior fades faster than it should. Non-impact glass typically blocks only a fraction of UV light, and Florida sun bleaches flooring, furniture, and art relentlessly. Impact glass with Low-E coating blocks up to 99 percent of UV rays. If your sofa has a permanent stripe from the afternoon sun, that’s visible proof your windows aren’t doing enough.
- You can hear the ocean, the road, or your neighbor’s pool pump like it’s inside the house. Impact windows use laminated glass, the same construction as car windshields, which dramatically reduces sound transmission. Homes around Palm Beach see a night-and-day difference in acoustic comfort the day we set impact glass. If you hear every boat leaving the marina, you’re hearing every decibel your old windows let in.
- Your insurance company keeps asking about wind mitigation. Florida insurers heavily discount homes with verified impact-rated openings. A wind mitigation inspection that shows impact windows installed to current code can cut windstorm premiums substantially. If your agent sends you mitigation forms every renewal and you’re leaving them blank, you’re likely leaving real money on the table every year.

Ordering and inspection of the units. Once you approve, we order your windows with exact specifications from the authorized manufacturers we install. When the units arrive at our warehouse, each one is inspected for glass clarity, frame finish, hardware operation, and proper size. Any unit that isn’t right doesn’t get loaded on a truck.
- 4
Installation by background-checked, uniformed technicians. Our crew arrives on time, in uniform, and each technician has passed a background check before they set foot in your home. We protect your floors, walls, and landscaping during the work. A typical whole-home installation of 10 to 15 openings takes 3 to 5 working days depending on the home and glazing package.

Final walkthrough, cleanup, and the 36500-Day Promise. When the work is done, we walk each window with you, demonstrate operation, and go over the warranty paperwork. The entire job is covered by our 36500-Day Done Right Promise: if it’s not done right, we make it right. Not for a year, not for a decade. For 100 years.
How Much Does Impact Windows Cost in Palm Beach?
Impact windows in Palm Beach typically run $2,800 to $5,600 per opening for a standard installation. A smaller single-hung in a standard rectangular opening might land closer to $2,800, while a large fixed picture window with a premium frame finish can reach $5,600 or more. A full single-story home with 12 to 15 openings generally falls in the $38,000 to $75,000 range installed.
Several factors move the number. First is size and shape: a 36-by-36 window costs less than a 96-by-72 picture window, and custom geometries cost more than rectangles. Second is brand and glass package: basic clear impact glass is cheaper than Low-E with tinting, and aluminum frames price differently than vinyl. Third is the condition of your existing openings: if there’s hidden rot or water damage behind the old frame, that repair work adds to the total. We walk you through each of these factors in your quote, so you understand exactly what you’re paying for.
How to avoid overpaying: get a written line-item bid, verify the installer is authorized for the brand they’re installing, and ask for proof of local experience with Florida product approvals. We give you all of that, plus a free second opinion if you have a written estimate from another company. Our quote comes free, with no trip charge inside our home county.

Frequently Asked Questions - Impact Windows in Palm Beach
Impact windows are laminated glass units designed to withstand wind-borne debris and pressure changes during a hurricane. They’re constructed with two panes of glass bonded to a tough interlayer, similar to automotive windshield glass, and set in reinforced frames tested to Florida standards. In Palm Beach County, impact windows must meet Miami-Dade or Florida Building Code product approval, and our installed units meet both. Call (561) 831-7863 for a free assessment of your current windows.
Most whole-home installations in Palm Beach take 3 to 5 working days for 10 to 15 openings. Single openings or smaller projects can be done in a day.
