AfterTrusted Window Installation for Palm Beach Homeowners
Window installation in Palm Beach is about more than swapping glass. It’s about engineering a barrier against salt air, hurricane-force winds, and the kind of heat that warps cheap frames within three summers. Palm Beach homes demand windows built for a marine climate, and that’s where we come in.
Winslow Windows & Doors has been installing and replacing windows in Palm Beach since 2011. Ed Winslow started this company with a simple rule: do the job right the first time, or come back and do it over. That rule became the 36500-Day Done Right Promise, and it’s why homeowners keep our number saved in their phones. When you call (561) 831-7863, a live person answers. Not a call center. Not a voicemail. A real person who knows Palm Beach building codes and can tell you whether your existing openings will accept a PGT or CGI unit without reframing.
What Our Window Installation Service Includes
Every window installation in Palm Beach starts with the same question: what is this window supposed to do? Keep out hurricane debris? Quiet a bedroom facing A1A? Frame a water view without losing energy efficiency? The answer tells us which of these window types belongs in your home.
Single & Double Hung Windows
Single hung windows have a fixed top sash and a bottom sash that slides up. Double hung windows let both sashes move, which makes cleaning second-floor windows a whole lot easier and improves ventilation. In Palm Beach’s older homes around the Estate Section and El Cid, we frequently replace original single hungs with double hungs that keep the traditional proportions while adding impact glass and modern seals. The difference in humidity control alone is noticeable within the first month.
Horizontal Roller Windows
Horizontal roller windows slide side to side on tracks, which makes them a natural fit for wide openings, kitchens over sinks, and mid-century ranch homes throughout Palm Beach. The hardware is simple, but the track alignment is everything. We see a lot of rollers installed by other contractors that bind within a year because the frame wasn’t shimmed square before the window went in.
3-Panel Sliding (3-Lite Roller) Windows
A 3-Panel Sliding (3-Lite Roller) window spans a wide opening with two fixed panels and one operating panel, or two operating panels and one fixed, depending on how you want air to move. These are popular in Palm Beach living rooms and dens where a single picture window would feel too closed off. We stock rollers, tracks, and weatherstripping for these units, so a sticky 3-lite slider rarely needs a full replacement. When it does, we can match the original sightlines.
Casement Windows
Casement windows are hinged on one side and crank outward, which makes them the tightest-sealing window type available. They catch the ocean breeze and direct it into the house, which matters a lot on Palm Beach afternoons when the air stills. The crank mechanism is where cheap casements fail, so we only install units with hardware we’d put on our own homes.
Awning & Hopper Windows
Awning & Hopper windows hinge at the top and push outward, which means you can leave them open during light rain without water coming in. Hopper windows hinge at the bottom and tilt inward. Both are compact ventilation windows that fit bathrooms, laundry rooms, and above garage slabs. We install them most often in Palm Beach beach cottages where wall space is tight but air flow is essential.
Picture & Fixed Windows
Fixed windows don’t open. Their job is to frame a view: the Intracoastal, the golf course, the line of royal palms in your front yard. In Palm Beach, fixed windows also carry serious engineering weight, because a large fixed pane is the first thing a wind-driven branch finds. We size the glass and the frame to the exposure, not just the opening.
Bay & Bow Windows
Bay & Bow windows project outward from the wall, adding floor space, seating, and a wider view angle. They’re structural projects, not drop-in replacements, which means the header, the cantilever, and the flashing all matter. We’ve installed bays and bows throughout Palm Beach’s waterfront neighborhoods, and we pull permits on every single one.
Garden Windows
Garden windows are mini bays designed for herbs, orchids, and the occasional cat. They extend out over the kitchen sink and add four-sided glass, which means four seams that need sealing. In a salt-air climate, garden window leaks are usually the flashing, not the glass. We fix the root cause and replace the unit only when the frame is gone.

Brands We Service for Window Installation
We’re an authorized installer for PGT and CGI, the two impact window brands most Palm Beach homeowners ask about by name. PGT’s WinGuard line is the default choice for hurricane zones in Palm Beach County, and we install enough of them that we can tell you honestly where they’re worth the money and where a different brand gets you the same performance for less. CGI makes heavier extruded aluminum frames that hold up better on direct oceanfront exposures, and we’ve put them into condos and single-family homes from Palm Beach Shores down to South Palm Beach.
For homeowners who don’t need hurricane-rated glazing, we also install ViewLux and CWS. ViewLux window installation is a strong mid-range choice for interior-facing walls and second-floor bedrooms where impact codes don’t apply. CWS carries a metal line that works well on modern and commercial projects. Whether you have a PGT unit going soft, a CGI frame corroding at the corners, or any other make in your Palm Beach home, we can help.
Signs You Need Window Installation Right Now
- Your windows fog between the panes. A broken seal means the inert gas has escaped and the window’s insulating value is gone. In Palm Beach’s humidity, that fog becomes permanent condensation and eventually mold at the sill. Once the seal is blown, the fix is replacement, not repair.
- Crank-out windows won’t close tight, or slide-bys rattle in the track. Gaps mean your air conditioner is working overtime and your impact rating may be compromised. A loose window that once sealed is a quiet sign the frame has warped or the hardware is failing. Don’t wait until a storm test reveals it.
- You can feel heat radiating through the glass at noon. Single-pane and old double-pane windows turn a Palm Beach summer living room into a greenhouse. Modern low-E coated windows cut that heat transfer dramatically. The energy savings start the month the windows go in.
- Opening any window is a two-hand fight. When sashes stick, frames are swollen or bent. That’s more than an inconvenience. In an evacuation or a fire, a window that won’t open is a safety hazard. We fix or replace stiff windows throughout Palm Beach before they turn into a real problem.
- Outside noise keeps getting louder. If you can now hear traffic on Royal Palm Way or your neighbor’s pool pump, your window seals and weatherstripping are failing. Newer laminate and acoustic glazing make a dramatic dent in Palm Beach neighborhood noise.
Our Window Installation Process - Step by Step
We think you should know exactly what’s going to happen before the first tool comes off the truck. Here’s how a typical window installation in Palm Beach goes with Winslow Windows & Doors.
- 1
Measure and document the existing openings. We measure width, height, and diagonal on every opening, then check for square. Palm Beach homes settle, and we’ve shimmed and re-flashed plenty of openings that other installers left crooked. We’ll also note the existing stop type and whether the drywall returns need repair after removal.
- 2
Walk the property and talk through options. Ed or one of his senior techs walks the house with you, looking at sun exposure, prevailing wind, and which rooms get used when. We’ll tell you where impact glass pays for itself and where standard low-E is the smarter spend. The decision stays yours. We just give you the honest read.
- 3
Present a written line-item estimate. No vague numbers, no verbal ranges. The quote shows the window type, brand, glass package, frame finish, removal haul-away, and installation labor. This is the price, and it’s the price on the invoice. Ed doesn’t send change orders halfway through a job.
- 4
Permit and schedule. On every Palm Beach window installation that requires one, we pull the permit and pass the inspections. Then we set a date. On install day, our background-checked, uniformed team arrives at the time we said, with all the windows loaded and everything they need on the truck.
- 5
Install, seal, and inspect. Each window goes in level, square, and sealed with flashing tape and sealant rated for Palm Beach’s salt air. We cap the exterior, trim the interior, and inspect with a thermal imager to verify the seal is tight before we leave. Then we clean up. Then we walk the job with you, window by window.
How Much Does Window Installation Cost in Palm Beach?
Window installation in Palm Beach runs a surprisingly wide range, and most of that range is the window itself, not the labor. A basic single hung window with builder-grade glass installed on a ground floor can run $550 to $900. A mid-range double hung from PGT with impact-rated low-E glass lands around $1,100 to $1,800 per opening. Large custom jobs, like a CWS 3-panel slider or a CGI oceanfront-rated picture window, can hit $2,500 to $5,000 or more. Palm Beach’s strict wind-load codes mean larger openings on direct exposures need thicker glass and heavier frames, which pushes the numbers up. You can see why we give line-item quotes instead of lump sums.
What changes the price: the window brand, glass package (impact vs. standard, double vs. triple pane), frame material, opening size, and whether you’re on the second story or right on the water. What doesn’t change: our labor rate is in the quote. We don’t pad materials and we don’t discover surprise charges on day two. The best way to know what your windows cost is to have us measure, and the estimate is free. Call (561) 831-7863 and we’ll set a time.
