AfterTrusted Window Replacement for Palm Beach Homeowners
Window replacement in Palm Beach typically costs between $600 and $1,800 per window for mid-range impact-rated units, with full-home projects ranging from $12,000 to $45,000 depending on size, glass package, and frame material. Most homeowners replace 10 to 15 windows at a time, and the work usually takes one to three days. At Winslow Windows & Doors, we’ve handled hundreds of window replacements across Palm Beach since 2011, and we answer our own phone at (561) 782-7525, 24 hours a day.
Salt air, hurricane season, and relentless sun do things to window frames here that homeowners in other parts of Florida never see. Seals fail, tracks corrode, glass fogs, and frames warp. Ed Winslow started this company because he saw too many Palm Beach homeowners getting sold cheap builder-grade windows that couldn’t survive five summers of coastal weather. We install what actually works here: impact-rated PGT and CGI windows, energy-efficient ViewLux units, and custom CWS designs built for the Florida Building Code’s High Velocity Hurricane Zone requirements.
Every job carries Ed’s Done Right Promise. If it’s not done right, we make it right. That’s not a warranty buried in fine print. It’s a lasting standard, and it’s how a locally owned, owner-operated company does business in Palm Beach.
What Our Window Replacement Service Includes
We replace windows in Palm Beach from opening to trim, handling everything from the initial measurement to the final inspection. Here’s what that looks like for each type of replacement we handle.
Full Frame Replacement
Full Frame Replacement means removing the entire existing window, including the frame, sash, and trim, down to the rough opening. You need this when your window frames are rotted, warped, or structurally compromised, which is common in older Palm Beach homes where decades of salt air have eaten through wood and aluminum. We install the new window, flash and seal the opening to code, replace interior and exterior trim, and then test the unit for air and water infiltration before we consider the job done.
Insert Window Replacement
Insert Window Replacement, also called pocket windows, fit inside your existing window frame. When your frames are still square and solid but the glass units have failed or the sashes don’t operate, inserts save you money and preserve your home’s original trim work. We measure the existing opening precisely, order inserts sized to within an eighth of an inch, and install them with new sealing that accounts for Palm Beach’s humidity swings.
Vinyl Replacement Windows
Vinyl Replacement Windows make sense for Palm Beach homeowners who want durability without painting or staining every few years. Modern vinyl doesn’t warp or corrode in coastal air, and the multi-chambered frames improve insulation enough to notice on your next FPL bill. We carry vinyl options from CWS that meet Miami-Dade impact standards, so you don’t have to choose between affordability and hurricane protection.
Energy-Efficient Upgrade
If your air conditioning runs constantly from April through October, an Energy-Efficient Upgrade may be the solution. We install low-E coated, argon-filled, double-pane glass units that block solar heat gain while letting in natural light. Many Palm Beach homeowners see a measurable drop in cooling costs after replacing single-pane or older double-pane windows, and several units qualify for utility rebates. We’ll help you work through the glass package options without pushing upgrades you don’t need.
Window Maintenance & Care
Not every window problem requires replacement, and we’ll tell you when a repair or maintenance service is the smarter spend. We clean and lubricate tracks, replace weatherstripping, adjust sashes, and repair or replace failed balances and hardware. If you’re not sure whether you need maintenance or full replacement, call us at (561) 782-7525 and we’ll give you an honest assessment, not a sales pitch.

Brands We Service for Window Replacement
We’re authorized installers for eight window and door brands, so when we show up to your Palm Beach home, we know the product from the inside out. PGT is our most-installed impact window brand in coastal Palm Beach. We’ve put in hundreds of PGT WinGuard and SpectraGuard units, and we know their fastening schedules, anchor requirements, and the exact torque specs their installation manuals call for. When a PGT warranty claim comes up, we handle the paperwork for you.
CGI windows carry some of the toughest impact ratings in the industry, and we install them regularly on waterfront properties where wind loads and missile-impact standards are most demanding. ViewLux gives us a strong energy-efficiency option for homeowners focused on cooling costs and UV protection. And CWS makes a high-end architectural line that works beautifully on custom Palm Beach homes. Whether you have PGT, CGI, CWS, or any other make, we can replace it with something better suited to this climate.
Signs You Need Window Replacement Right Now
- Condensation between the glass panes. When the seal fails, moisture gets trapped inside the insulated glass unit. That fog means the argon or krypton gas has escaped and the window has lost most of its insulating value. It won’t clear up on its own, and resealing is rarely cost-effective compared to replacement.
- Windows that stick, jam, or won’t stay open. In Palm Beach, this usually means corroded hardware, warped frames, or worn balances. If a window won’t open reliably, it’s also an escape-route problem in an emergency. Replace it before it fails completely.
- Drafts you can feel from across the room. Hold your hand near the window on a windy day. If you feel air moving, the weatherstripping or the frame itself has failed. Your air conditioner is working against outside air, and that shows up on your electric bill every month.
- Soft wood, peeling paint, or visible rot around the frame. Salt air accelerates wood rot in coastal Palm Beach homes. By the time you see it on the surface, there’s usually more behind the trim. Full frame replacement removes the rot and rebuilds the opening properly.
- Windows that are original to a home built before 2002. Florida’s building code changed dramatically after Hurricane Andrew. Pre-2002 windows often lack impact ratings and modern glazing. If your home predates the stronger code, your windows are the weak point in your home’s envelope.

Product selection and ordering. We walk you through glass packages, frame materials, and the brands we carry, including PGT, CGI, CWS. We order from the factory with lead times clearly communicated. No vague “it’ll be there when it’s there” timelines.

- 4

- 5
Final inspection and walkthrough. We walk the property with you, test every new window, and review what was done. Then we schedule the municipal inspection if required and handle it for you. If anything isn’t right, the Done Right Promise covers it. We come back and make it right.
How Much Does Window Replacement Cost in Palm Beach?
A typical insert window replacement in Palm Beach runs $500 to $900 per window. Full frame replacement runs $900 to $1,800 per window, depending on the size of the opening and the frame material. Impact-rated windows from PGT or CGI add roughly 15% to 25% over non-impact units, but they’re required on many Palm Beach homes and deliver real storm protection alongside insurance savings. A full-home project of 12 windows usually lands between $10,000 and $25,000, including labor, permits, and disposal.
What affects the price the most? Window size, glass package, frame material, and whether the opening needs any structural repair. Second-story windows cost more to install. Custom shapes like arches or circles cost more than standard rectangles. And homes with stucco exteriors require more involved flashing and sealing than wood-frame homes.
The best way to avoid overpaying is to get an itemized, written quote that shows the window cost, labor, and materials separately. If a contractor won’t break it down, walk away. At Winslow Windows & Doors, every estimate is free, itemized, and fixed. No change orders, no surprise line items. We also offer a free second opinion on any written estimate from another company, and a permanent 10% discount for seniors and veterans.

Frequently Asked Questions - Window Replacement in Palm Beach
Window replacement is the process of removing an existing window from its opening and installing a new, properly fitted unit in its place. It can be a full frame replacement, where everything down to the rough opening is removed, or an insert replacement, where a new window fits inside the existing frame. In Palm Beach, window replacement usually also means upgrading to impact-rated or energy-efficient glass that meets current Florida Building Code standards.
Most window replacement projects in Palm Beach take one to three days from start to finish. A single window typically takes two to four hours, including removal, installation, and trim work. Larger projects, custom shapes, or full frame replacements with structural repair may add a day or two. We’ll give you a firm timeline in your written quote and stick to it.
