Impact window installation in Royal Palm Beach typically costs $800-$1,500 per window installed, with whole-home packages on 1970s-1990s CBS ranch homes running $8,000-$25,000 depending on opening count and jalousie infill work.

We know Royal Palm Beach’s original GDC-built sections street by street, because we’re out here every week pulling corroded aluminum sliders and glass-louver jalousies out of the same era of homes. Ed Winslow started this company in 2011, and the crews who show up at your door are background-checked, uniformed, and trained on exactly what Royal Palm Beach’s older concrete block homes demand under Florida Building Code. A live person answers our phone at 2 a.m. or 2 p.m. Not a call center. Not a ticket number.
Why Winslow Windows & Doors Is Royal Palm Beach’s Preferred Impact Windows Company
We’re the local alternative to the big-box installers that cycle through subcontractors. Winslow Windows & Doors is owner-operated, and Ed Winslow’s name is on the door and on every job we do. Our Impact Windows team has been replacing original aluminum openings throughout Royal Palm Beach long enough to know exactly what we’ll find behind the stucco: corroded frames, failed sealant, and jalousie jams that need infill, not retrofit. That experience means the quote we give you holds up when the wall comes open.
We’re a full exterior-protection specialist, which matters more than you’d think in Royal Palm Beach. When a wind-mitigation inspection flags your windows and your sliding glass doors in the same report, you don’t need two companies. You need one crew that understands how the openings work together. We install PGT, CGI, CWS, and ES Windows products, all with Miami-Dade NOA documentation in hand for your insurance paperwork.
Every Royal Palm Beach customer gets the same standing commitments: $40 off any repair over $200, a free second opinion on any written estimate you’ve received, no trip charge inside our home county, and a permanent 10% discount for seniors and veterans. Those aren’t promotions. They’re how we’ve done business since 2011.
Our Impact Windows Services in Royal Palm Beach
Jalousie Removal and Block Infill
Royal Palm Beach’s original GDC homes still have operational jalousie windows in bathrooms, utility rooms, and side bedrooms on a huge percentage of streets. These glass-louver assemblies cannot be made hurricane-resistant, period. We remove the old jalousie frame, infill the opening with concrete block to match your existing CBS wall, and stucco to a flush finish, or we install a full impact-rated replacement window if you’d rather keep the light. This is a workflow we’ve done hundreds of times in Royal Palm Beach and almost never see in newer communities like Wellington.
Full Frame Replacement with Impact-Rated Glazing
The original aluminum windows on Royal Palm Beach homes have reached the end of their service life, and surface-level retrofits won’t fix failed thermal seals or corroded frame tracks. Full frame replacement removes the entire old window system down to the rough opening, lets us inspect and repair the concrete buck, and seats a new impact-rated window with proper anchoring and flashing. You get a clean opening that passes wind-mitigation inspection and actually seals against the humidity rolling off the Everglades.
Sliding Glass Door Replacement
That original 6-foot lanai slider every Royal Palm Beach ranch has is almost certainly non-impact-rated and off its track by now. We replace it with CGI or PGT sliding glass doors that carry the laminated glass interlayer required for high-velocity hurricane zones. The difference isn’t just wind protection. A properly sealed impact slider stops the daily humidity from bleeding into your living room, and it opens and closes with one hand instead of a two-person struggle.
Whole-Home Impact Package
When insurers non-renew a Royal Palm Beach policy, they usually require documentation on every glazed opening, not just the windows facing the street. We’ll measure every window, door, and fixed sidelight, match the right Miami-Dade-rated product to each opening, and hand you a single line-item quote with the Florida Product Approval numbers listed per unit. Your wind-mitigation inspector gets exactly what they need the first time.

Trusted Brands We Service in Royal Palm Beach
We’re an authorized installer for eight premium manufacturers, and for Royal Palm Beach homes we most often specify PGT WinGuard for casements and single-hung units, CGI for large sliding glass doors, and CWS or ES Windows when a homeowner wants a specific aesthetic without sacrificing design pressure ratings. Because we install these brands daily, we carry factory parts and know the lead times cold. Custom fabrication runs 4-6 weeks, and once your units arrive we can install in as fast as a single day.

Common Impact Windows Problems We See in Royal Palm Beach Homes
- Corroded aluminum frames binding mid-track. The original sliders on 1975-1995 GDC-built homes seize up as the aluminum oxidizes in humid air. When a window won’t open all the way, it’s an egress failure that fails code and becomes a replacement job, not a repair.
- Jalousie windows that cannot be made compliant. Bathroom and utility-room glass louvers are unfixable from an impact standpoint. We see them on nearly every original Royal Palm Beach home, and they must come out for infill or full frame replacement before the property passes a wind-mitigation inspection.
- IGU seal failure from Everglades humidity. Condensation between the panes of original single-pane or early double-pane windows means the seal is gone. Insurers in Palm Beach County flag this on inspection reports and non-renew policies until documented impact-rated replacement happens.
- Off-track 6-foot lanai sliders. The rear sliding glass door on a mid-1980s Royal Palm Beach ranch has been opening hard for years. By the time it derails completely, the frame is usually racked and the opening needs a full replacement with a Miami-Dade NOA product rated for the wind zone.
Pricing for Impact Windows in Royal Palm Beach, FL
In Royal Palm Beach, a standard opening impact window runs $800-$1,500 installed. Single-hung units with impact glazing start around $900 and go to $1,800 depending on size and frame finish. Large or custom openings, like picture windows or oversized sliders, land in the $2,500-$5,000 range. Most whole-home packages on the original GDC ranch homes in Royal Palm Beach fall between $8,000 and $25,000, with the spread driven by opening count, how many jalousies need infill, and whether sliding glass doors are included. Wind zone requirements, floor height, and frame material all push the final number. The quote we write after our free in-home measure is the price you pay, with allowances written in for any discovery work behind the old frames. No change orders sprung on you later.
What Impact Windows Costs in Royal Palm Beach
The numbers above reflect what we’ve actually quoted on Royal Palm Beach homes over the past few years. Jalousie infill work adds real cost that coastal towns don’t have to deal with, usually $400-$900 per opening just for the block and stucco work before the window goes in. Every quote comes as a written line item with the Florida Product Approval number listed per unit, so you see exactly what you’re paying for and your insurance carrier sees exactly what got installed. Schedule your free in-home measure and written quote by calling (561) 782-7525.
One comparison worth understanding before you decide: impact windows versus hurricane shutters. Shutters are cheaper upfront, but someone has to be home to deploy them before every storm, and they do nothing for energy efficiency, UV damage, or daily security. Impact windows are permanent protection with no panels to hang, and in Royal Palm Beach’s wind zone they’re the upgrade that actually satisfies the insurer’s documentation requirement. Big-box retail installs have a place, but they rarely include the Miami-Dade NOA paperwork workflow or the jalousie infill capability. A licensed impact specialist handles both.
Florida Pays You Back
Several incentive programs can offset impact window costs in Royal Palm Beach. My Safe Florida Home offers matching grants up to $10,000 for qualifying wind-mitigation upgrades on your primary residence, with a free wind-mitigation inspection as the first step. Florida also has a sales-tax exemption on impact-resistant windows and doors, which takes roughly 6-7% off the top of your material cost at point of purchase. On the federal side, the 25C energy credit returns 30% of product cost on qualifying energy-efficient units, up to $600 per year. After installation, your windstorm insurer may apply a premium credit, often around 25% on the wind portion of the bill, once you submit a wind-mitigation inspection report (typically $75-$150). Program eligibility and final numbers come from the state and your carrier, not from us, but we’ll hand you the documentation they ask for.

What We Find When We Open Up Your Royal Palm Beach Walls
Royal Palm Beach’s original 1970s-90s GDC-built CBS homes still contain operational jalousie windows in bathrooms and utility rooms, openings that cannot be retrofitted for impact resistance and require complete removal plus block infill or full frame replacement. This is the single biggest difference between a Royal Palm Beach quote and a quote for a newer coastal home, and it’s why we inspect before we price.
On a mid-1980s ranch off Okeechobee Boulevard near the original GDC section, we removed six corroded aluminum single-pane sliders and one original 6-foot off-track lanai slider, replacing them with PGT WinGuard impact-rated casements and a CGI sliding glass door with laminated glass interlayer. The bathroom jalousie unit required full frame replacement with a double-hung impact window, and we documented the Miami-Dade NOA for the homeowner’s wind mitigation inspection. That job is a pretty accurate picture of what a whole-home replacement looks like on Royal Palm Beach’s original streets.
When the old window comes out, we inspect the concrete buck for cracking, verify the anchoring substrate is sound, and repair any water damage around the rough opening before the new impact window seats in. If we find something the quote didn’t cover, we stop, show you photos, put a price in writing, and get your approval before we proceed. No open-ended time-and-materials billing. No assumptions. You know what’s happening at every step because Ed’s name is on the job and Ed answers the phone.

FAQs - Impact Windows in Royal Palm Beach
Your insurer isn’t reacting to visible damage. They’re reacting to the absence of documentation proving your glazed openings meet current Florida Building Code impact requirements, and original aluminum single-pane windows from the GDC era do not. Royal Palm Beach properties that deferred window replacement after 2004-2005 are now hitting a correction wave as carriers audit inland policies. Replacing those windows with Florida Product Approval or Miami-Dade NOA-rated units and submitting the wind-mitigation inspection report is the direct path back to coverage. Call (561) 782-7525 and we’ll walk you through what your insurer needs.
No. Jalousie windows cannot be retrofitted to meet impact resistance standards under any Florida Building Code pathway. The only compliant solutions are complete removal with concrete block infill or full frame replacement with an impact-rated window in the same opening. We do both, and we’ll quote either so you can decide based on whether you want the light or the solid wall. Estimates are free.
Royal Palm Beach sits 12-15 miles inland, but Palm Beach County’s wind-speed maps still designate it a high-velocity hurricane zone, so full Miami-Dade-rated products are required, not basic double-pane. Design pressure ratings are matched to the specific opening size and location on your home, and we’ll list the required DP rating for each window in your quote. Call us to get exact numbers for your home.
You should expect one of our crews to find the same things we’ve seen on hundreds of GDC-era Royal Palm Beach homes: corroded anchors, degraded sealant, and occasional water staining in the rough opening. We budget a reasonable allowance for those repairs in the quote, and if we find something beyond the allowance, we show you photos, put a number in writing, and wait for your approval before proceeding. Nothing gets touched without your sign-off.
Yes, and in our experience the reduction is most noticeable in Royal Palm Beach homes where original single-pane aluminum windows are still in place. Impact-rated laminated glass with low-E coatings cuts solar heat gain and seals the envelope against the humidity that makes your AC run constantly from May through October. The 25C federal energy credit exists precisely because the Department of Energy sees measurable efficiency gains from this upgrade. Call (561) 782-7525 for a free in-home measure.
