We’re Winslow Windows & Doors, and we’ve been installing impact-rated windows and doors in Palm Beach County since 2011.

Royal Palm Beach homeowners face a specific problem: the village sits roughly 15 miles inland, so for decades many people assumed hurricane-opening rules didn’t apply to them. That assumption is now colliding with Florida’s insurance reality, and carriers are demanding documented impact-rated openings on CBS homes built between the mid-1970s and early 1990s. We know this housing stock block by block, and we know exactly what the Village building department requires before an inspection will pass. That local knowledge is the difference between a smooth permit and a stalled one.
Why Winslow Windows & Doors Is Royal Palm Beach’s Preferred Impact Windows Company
Ed Winslow founded this company in 2011 and put his name on the door. That’s not marketing copy. It means when you call about a permit question, a product approval number, or a crew arrival time, the person accountable for the answer still works here every day. We’re locally owned and owner-operated, with a published address and license number. No shell companies, no anonymous subcontractor rotation.
Royal Palm Beach customers call us because we answer the phone. A live person picks up 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Not a voicemail loop, not a call center routing tree. If your sliding glass door won’t close after a storm band rolls through at 2 a.m., you get a human on the line who knows what a wind mitigation inspection actually checks.
Every technician who arrives at a Royal Palm Beach home is background-checked, uniformed, and on record before the truck pulls into your driveway. Our Impact Windows team has swapped hundreds of original aluminum units in neighborhoods like La Mancha, Crestwood, and the communities off Royal Palm Beach Boulevard, so we know what’s behind the stucco before we open the wall.
Our Impact Windows Services in Royal Palm Beach
Impact Windows
Most Royal Palm Beach homes we see still have their original aluminum single-hung or double-hung windows from the 1970s and 1980s. Those frames are thermally shot, the glazing seals have failed, and they don’t come close to meeting Palm Beach County’s 150+ mph design wind speed requirement. We replace them with PGT, CGI, and CWS impact-rated units that carry Florida Product Approval numbers for the exact configuration we install, matched to the opening’s design pressure rating. Every window we quote includes the product approval documentation the Village submittal portal asks for, so your permit doesn’t stall on paperwork.
Sliding Glass Doors
The aluminum sliding glass doors on Royal Palm Beach’s CBS ranch homes are usually the weakest opening in the house, and the first place a wind mitigation inspector looks. We install impact-rated sliders with laminated glass interlayers rated for large-missile impact, which the village requires for any opening that faces windborne debris. If your rear slider is original to a 1980s build, it’s almost certainly unrated and dragging down your wind mitigation credit even if the windows are new.
Pool Enclosure Windows and Doors
This is the gap that costs Royal Palm Beach homeowners their insurance discount, and most contractors don’t mention it. Nearly every home here has a screened pool enclosure with original aluminum sliders, and those sliders count as openings in a wind mitigation inspection. We replace them with impact-rated units and document everything so the enclosure doesn’t void the credit you just earned on the main structure. We’ve seen too many neighbors in La Mancha and around Commons Park get flagged for exactly this after a hurricane retrofit that skipped the lanai.
Custom and Geometric Windows
Plenty of Royal Palm Beach homes have eyebrow windows, octagons, or picture-window combinations that don’t fit a standard catalog size. We handle those with custom fabrication through our authorized manufacturer network, and we tell you upfront that custom units run 4 to 6 weeks from order to delivery. Once your units arrive, installation is typically a single day for most Royal Palm Beach homes.

Trusted Brands We Service in Royal Palm Beach
We’re an authorized installer for PGT, CGI, CWS, and ES Windows, among others. That means we stock common components locally and can handle warranty work directly, without shipping your claim to a third party. For Royal Palm Beach homeowners, that often translates to faster parts access on PGT WinGuard and CGI Sentinel lines, the two product families we install most often in this village. We don’t sell every brand under the sun. We sell the ones we’re willing to stand behind with the 36500-Day Done Right Promise, which is Ed’s commitment that if it’s not done right, we make it right. No fine print, no expiration.
Common Impact Windows Problems We See in Royal Palm Beach Homes
- Fogged insulated glass on 1980s aluminum frames. The vinyl glazing beads on original units fail in Royal Palm Beach’s humidity long before the aluminum frame gives out, and homeowners call us thinking they need just glass replacement when the whole unit is below current wind-load code.
- Insurance non-renewal over unrated pool enclosure sliders. We replace the main windows to impact standard, then the homeowner finds out the lanai sliders still count as unprotected openings and the wind mitigation discount never lands.
- Permit stalls at the Village building department. Out-of-area crews file through the county system or miss Royal Palm Beach’s separate product-approval checklist, and a two-week swap-out turns into five weeks of re-inspection fees and scheduling loops.
- Mixed ratings on the same elevation. A homeowner upgrades the front windows to large-missile impact but leaves rear casements as builder-grade units, so the house still reads as out of compliance on a 150 mph design wind zone inspection.
Pricing for Impact Windows in Royal Palm Beach, FL
Expect to pay $800 to $1,500 per window installed in Royal Palm Beach for standard impact units. Impact single-hung windows run $900 to $1,800. Large or custom openings, like picture windows or geometric shapes, land between $2,500 and $5,000. A whole-home package on a typical three-bedroom CBS ranch here usually falls between $8,000 and $25,000 plus.
What moves the price in Royal Palm Beach specifically is opening count, floor height, whether stucco repair is needed around the buck, and which product approval the Village requires for each elevation. Some openings need large-missile-rated glass; some qualify for small-missile. We give you a written line-item quote that separates product, labor, permit fees, and the exact product approval numbers per window. No change-order surprises. Call (561) 831-7863 for a free in-home measure.
What Impact Windows Costs in Royal Palm Beach
The range above holds for most Royal Palm Beach homes, but here’s what actually moves the final number. Opening count is the biggest lever, followed by whether we’re replacing aluminum frames that have rotted sills or just swapping sashes inside sound bucks. Floor height matters on second-story work because of the additional bracing requirements the Village inspector verifies. Frame material is the third variable: heavy-gauge aluminum costs more than vinyl but lasts longer in South Florida’s UV and humidity. We never pad a quote with “miscellaneous” line items, and we give you a fixed price before the first permit gets pulled.
Florida Pays You Back
Royal Palm Beach homeowners can stack several incentive programs when upgrading to documented impact windows and doors. The My Safe Florida Home program offers matching grants up to $10,000 for qualifying wind-mitigation upgrades, though funding windows open and close, so check current availability. Florida’s sales-tax exemption on impact-resistant windows and doors applies at purchase. The federal 25C energy credit can return 30% of product cost on qualifying units, up to $600 per year. And after a wind-mitigation inspection ($75 to $150), many carriers apply a windstorm-premium credit averaging around 25% on the windstorm portion of your policy. We don’t guarantee any of these numbers. Programs and underwriting rules change, and your carrier sets the final premium figure. But documented compliance is what unlocks them, and we make sure the paperwork trail is complete.

FAQs - Impact Windows in Royal Palm Beach
Yes. Palm Beach County’s adopted wind speed maps place Royal Palm Beach in a 150+ mph design wind speed zone despite the inland position, so every replacement window and door must meet Florida Product Approval impact or shutter requirements, the same standard oceanfront properties carry. The inland location doesn’t exempt you. Call (561) 831-7863 and we’ll verify exactly which rating your specific openings need.
Royal Palm Beach runs its own building department with a submittal portal, inspection scheduling system, and product-approval checklist that differ from Palm Beach County’s. A contractor who files through county channels or submits incomplete product documentation will get the permit kicked back, and re-inspection fees will eat weeks. We pull Village permits routinely and include the approval numbers in the submittal before your first inspection.
Yes, they count, and they’re the most common reason Royal Palm Beach homeowners fail a wind mitigation inspection even after installing impact windows on the main house. Unrated lanai sliders get flagged as unprotected openings. We replace them with impact-rated units and close out the inspection with complete documentation so the discount actually applies. Call (561) 831-7863 for a free look at your enclosure.
You can, but the savings depend on what we’re replacing. Original single-pane aluminum windows from the 1970s and 1980s are thermally terrible, and swapping them for laminated low-E impact glass reduces solar heat gain and air infiltration measurably. Royal Palm Beach’s sustained UV intensity also breaks down old glazing seals, so the upgrade addresses both efficiency and structural integrity. We won’t promise a specific dollar figure on your FPL bill, but the physics is documented.
Often yes, but only if the documentation is complete and the wind mitigation inspection passes. Carriers apply credits under Florida Statute 627.0629 when every opening, including pool enclosure sliders, is rated and documented. A partial retrofit that leaves unrated openings can void the entire credit. We handle the paperwork so the inspection closes clean. Call (561) 831-7863 and we’ll walk you through what your specific home needs.
