AfterTrusted Window Replacement for Palm Beach Homeowners
Window replacement in Palm Beach typically costs between $700 and $1,900 per window installed, with most full-home projects landing between $9,000 and $28,000 depending on glass packages, frame materials, and whether you’re upgrading to impact-rated units. We’ve handled hundreds of replacements here since 2011, and most jobs wrap up in one to three days once the windows arrive. Ed Winslow’s name is on the door, and it’s on every window we install. Call (561) 831-7863 for a straight answer and a free estimate.
Salt air, hurricane season, and the relentless Florida sun do a number on window frames and seals. You’ll see it first in fogged glass, difficulty opening sashes, or a spike in your FPL bill that doesn’t match your thermostat settings. We’ve replaced windows in Palm Beach homes from oceanfront condos near Worth Avenue to inland single-family homes off South Olive, so we know exactly how coastal conditions accelerate frame rot and seal failure. When you call, a live person answers. That’s been true since day one, and it’s true at 2 a.m. too.
What Our Window Replacement Service Includes
Every window replacement project in Palm Beach gets the same treatment: honest assessment first, written line-item pricing, and installation that respects your home and your time. Here’s what falls under our window replacement service, and what each option actually means for your house.
Full Frame Replacement
Full Frame Replacement means we remove the entire existing window down to the rough opening, including the old frame, casing, and any compromised flashing or insulation. This is the right call when your current frames have rotted from Palm Beach humidity, when you’re changing window styles entirely, or when air leaks have gotten so bad you can feel a draft standing four feet away. Ed Winslow and his crew inspect every opening after tear-out, repair any hidden water damage, and set the new window plumb, square, and sealed against the coastal wind-driven rain we get every summer.
Insert Window Replacement
Insert Window Replacement, also called pocket replacement, keeps your existing frames in place and fits a new window unit into the old frame. It’s a good option when the surrounding frame is still structurally sound but the sashes, glass, or hardware have failed, and it’s usually more economical than a full tear-out. We measure to the sixteenth of an inch and order each custom-fit unit to match the opening, which matters on older Palm Beach homes where nothing is exactly standard. Insert replacement won’t fix a rotten frame, and we’ll tell you honestly if that’s what you actually need.
Vinyl Replacement Windows
Vinyl Replacement Windows are the workhorse of South Florida replacement projects: they handle humidity, never need painting, and deliver solid energy performance at a price that makes sense for most budgets. We install multi-chamber vinyl frames with double-pane, Low-E glass, and we recommend them for homeowners who want durable, low-maintenance windows without paying for impact-rated aluminum or wood. Vinyl doesn’t rust or corrode in salt air the way metal frames can, which is a real advantage for homes east of the Intracoastal.
Energy-Efficient Upgrade
An Energy-Efficient Upgrade replaces older single-pane or failed double-pane windows with Low-E coated, argon-filled, ENERGY STAR certified units that cut heat gain and UV exposure. In Palm Beach, your windows are the single biggest structural factor in your cooling bill, and swapping 20 year old single-panes for modern Low-E glass can reduce solar heat gain by 40 percent or more. We help you pick the right glass package for each elevation of your house, because west-facing windows take a beating the north side never sees.
Window Maintenance & Care
Window maintenance covers everything that keeps your existing windows working and sealed between replacements: track cleaning, roller and balance replacement, weatherstripping, weep hole clearing, and hardware adjustment. Palm Beach salt deposits crust over everything within a few blocks of the ocean, and a properly maintained window can buy you years before full replacement becomes necessary. We offer maintenance as an honest alternative when a window doesn’t need replacing yet, and we’ll never sell you a replacement when a $40 repair fixed the real problem, though that repair earns you $40 off if it runs over $200.

Brands We Service for Window Replacement
We are an authorized installer for PGT and CGI, the two names you’ll hear most often when you talk impact windows in South Florida. PGT’s WinGuard and CGI’s Sentinel lines are built for the Miami-Dade and Palm Beach wind load requirements, and we’ve installed hundreds of their units in homes from Palm Beach Gardens down to Lantana. Our crews know the nuances of their installation specs, from anchoring patterns to the specific caulking and flashing systems these brands require for warranty compliance.
We also work extensively with CWS and ViewLux for homeowners who want premium aluminum frames or architecturally distinct profiles. CWS is a go-to when you need oversized fixed windows or custom shapes, and ViewLux offers a strong combination of thermal performance and slender sightlines that high-end Palm Beach homes often demand. Whether you’re replacing a single PGT slider or outfitting a whole house with CWS, the install specs and warranty paperwork are handled correctly, and if we encounter any other make or model, we can still help you replace it right.
Signs You Need Window Replacement Right Now
- Condensation or fog trapped between the glass panes. That means the seal has failed and the insulating gas has leaked out. Your window is now working about as well as a single pane of glass, and no amount of wiping it down will fix that.
- You feel a draft with the window closed and locked. Warm, humid air leaking in around your sashes drives up your AC run time and lets moisture into your walls. In Palm Beach’s climate, that moisture becomes mold faster than you’d think.
- Frames are soft, discolored, or flaking when you press a fingernail into them. Rot and salt corrosion have already taken hold. Once the frame itself is compromised, the window’s structural integrity and its ability to hold impact glass in a storm are both suspect.
- Windows stick, refuse to stay open, or won’t lock anymore. A window that won’t lock is a security risk, not just an annoyance. It’s also an air leak, and siblings that jam shut in an emergency are a direct hazard if you ever need an alternate escape route.
- Your energy bill keeps climbing without explanation. Single-pane or failed double-pane glass is the most common culprit in older Palm Beach homes. Modern Low-E, argon-filled windows often pay for themselves within five to seven years in cooling savings alone.
If you’re nodding along to two or more of these, you’re not imagining things. Call (561) 831-7863, and we’ll give you a straight read on which windows are truly done and which ones still have life in them.
Our Window Replacement Process - Step by Step
- 1
You call, and a real person picks up. No call center, no voicemail tree, no ‘we’ll get back to you before the weekend.’ Ed Winslow or one of our team members answers the phone 24/7 and schedules your free, on-site estimate at a time that works for you.
- 2
We inspect your windows and measure every opening. We look at the condition of frames, lintels, interior trim, and exterior flashing, and we use digital laser measuring to capture each rough opening to a tolerance no tape measure can match. If we see hidden damage, we show it to you with photos before we quote a single line item.
- 3
You receive a written, line-item estimate. The price we quote is the price you pay. Every line item is spelled out: material, glass package, labor, haul-away, and permit costs. We don’t do change orders after you sign, and if a project changes scope, we discuss it with you before anything moves forward.
- 4
Your windows are ordered and installed by our own background-checked crew. We order each unit from our authorized manufacturers, verify dimensions at arrival, and schedule your install day. On install day, uniformed technicians arrive with tool trailers and cover the work area. We remove old windows carefully, repair any hidden damage, set and flash each new unit, and seal everything to Palm Beach wind and rain standards.
- 5
We walk the job with you and you sign off before we leave. You’ll see every window open, close, lock, and seal before we call the job done. If anything isn’t right, we fix it before the trailer door closes. And if something goes wrong later, the 36500-Day Done Right Promise means we come back and make it right. That’s a century of accountability, and it’s the only reason we’re still here after 15 years.
How Much Does Window Replacement Cost in Palm Beach?
A typical window replacement in Palm Beach runs $700 to $1,900 per window, and a full house of 12 to 16 windows usually lands between $9,000 and $28,000. That spread comes down to a few predictable factors: glass package is the biggest one. Standard double-pane Low-E runs on the lower end, while impact-rated PGT or CGI units can add 40 to 70 percent to the per-window price. Frame material matters too; vinyl is the most budget-friendly, and aluminum or architecturally custom options push costs up. Labor for full frame replacement runs higher than insert replacement because of the extra tear-out, flashing, and trim work.
What affects the price aside from glass and frame: the condition of your existing openings (hidden rot gets found on every other older Palm Beach job), how far your home sits from the Intracoastal or ocean (more direct salt exposure, higher corrosion resistance requirements), whether your HOA or Palm Beach architectural review board requires specific profiles or colors, and whether you’re replacing a standard size window or a custom geometric shape. Modern homes off Ibis Isle or near the Lake Worth Lagoon often face stricter design standards than inland subdivisions.
The best way to avoid overpaying is to get a written line-item quote from an installer who measures everything before pricing, not after. Every estimate from Winslow Windows & Doors includes all material, labor, haul-away, and permit costs in writing. If you have a quote from another company, bring it in, and we’ll give you a free second opinion on it. If we can improve on the price without cutting corners, we will.
Call (561) 831-7863 for your free, no-obligation written estimate. We’ll measure, we’ll inspect, and we’ll hand you a number that covers everything.

Frequently Asked Questions - Window Replacement in Palm Beach
Window replacement is the process of removing your existing windows and installing new, properly sealed, code-compliant units in their place. It can be full frame replacement (tearing out the old frame and all) or insert replacement (fitting a new window into the existing frame), depending on the condition of your current setup. In Palm Beach, most replacements also involve upgrading to impact-rated or energy-efficient glass because of hurricane codes and cooling costs. We help you decide which type makes sense, and we never push a pricier option when a simpler one works.
Most window replacement projects in Palm Beach take one to three days once the windows arrive on site. A single window install can be done inside a few hours, while a full home of 12 to 16 windows typically takes two to three days, depending on the condition of your existing openings and any hidden repair work. The bigger variable is lead time: custom-ordered impact windows from PGT or CGI can take four to ten weeks from order to delivery. We give you a clear production timeline at the estimate stage, and we don’t start tear-out until your windows are in our warehouse. Call (561) 831-7863 and we’ll tell you what the current lead times look like from our manufacturers.
Window replacement in Palm Beach runs $700 to $1,900 per window for most standard-sized units, with impact glass pushing the higher end of that range. A full home of 12 to 16 windows typically lands between $9,000 and $28,000 depending on glass packages, frame materials, and whether you have any hidden frame damage that needs repair. Custom shapes, oversized fixed windows, and architecturally specific profiles can run higher. Every estimate we give is written, line-itemed, and covers material, labor, haul-away, and permits, and if you have another company’s written quote, we’ll give you a free second opinion on it. Call (561) 831-7863 for an exact number for your house.
Yes, we are an authorized installer for both PGT and CGI, and we install their impact-rated window and door lines across Palm Beach County. Our crews know the specific anchoring, flashing, and caulking requirements these brands require for warranty validation and Miami-Dade/Palm Beach wind code compliance. We also install CWS, ViewLux, and several other premium brands, so if your home already has PGT or you’re upgrading to it, we handle the full scope correctly. Give us a call and tell us what you’ve got, and we’ll tell you what we can do.
We can often assess you the same day or the next day, and if a window has failed completely, like broken glass or a blown-out frame after a storm, we make you a priority. Replacement windows themselves are usually custom-ordered and can take weeks to arrive, so true same-day full replacement isn’t realistic on standard orders. What we can do same-day is board and secure a failed window so your home is protected until the new unit arrives, and we’ll never leave you exposed. Call (561) 831-7863 any hour and we’ll get eyes on the problem fast.
Every window replacement we install carries the manufacturer’s warranty plus our own 36500-Day Done Right Promise. If it’s not done right, we make it right, period, for as long as the promise stands. We also back our workmanship with a written commitment, and we stand behind the flashing, caulking, and installation details that keep your windows dry and sealed for decades. That promise is Ed Winslow’s name on the line, not a warranty department’s ticket number.
We handle most of the prep, but you can make the day go smoothly by clearing a three foot workspace around each window on the inside and outside. Move furniture, wall art, and any fragile decor out of the room where we’re working, and remove window treatments like curtains or blinds before we arrive. If you have exterior plants, hedges, or hardscape installed against the windows, our crew can work around most of it, but trimming anything touching the glass path helps. We’ll bring drop cloths, run a HEPA vacuum if we’re sawing trim, and haul away every old window and scrap when we leave. Call (561) 831-7863 with any prep questions, and a live person will talk you through it.
