Palm Beach’s housing stock demands more than standard product knowledge. The island’s Mediterranean Revival and Spanish Colonial Revival estates carry original steel casement windows and arched masonry openings that won’t accept catalog units, while midcentury condos along South Ocean Boulevard face salt corrosion that seizes aluminum frames within seasons, not decades. Our crews work with the Town’s Landmarks Preservation Commission regularly, and every specification we write accounts for both the historic profile the LPC requires and the impact rating the Florida Building Code mandates.
Why Palm Beach Homes Are Different
Palm Beach sits on a narrow Atlantic barrier island with ocean exposure to the east and Intracoastal exposure to the west. That geography means near-constant salt spray oxidizes aluminum frames, pits screen frames, and seizes hardware - marine-grade materials aren’t an upgrade here, they’re the baseline for any installation that is expected to last. The island’s direct coastal position also places every property in the highest wind-borne debris region under ASCE 7, so every permitted opening replacement must meet Florida’s impact-rated glazing or approved shutter standards without exception.
The housing stock compounds the challenge. Original Addison Mizner-designed Mediterranean Revival estates from the 1920s through 1940s retain steel casement windows, monumental entry surrounds, and arched openings that cannot accept off-the-shelf replacements. Midcentury co-ops and condos along the North End and South Ocean Boulevard still run aluminum jalousie or original sliding glass doors, many now corroded past operation and non-compliant with current codes. Before any work begins on a Landmark-designated property, specifications must clear a formal Landmarks Preservation Commission review - a 30- to 90-day pre-approval process requiring an architect’s letter, materials sample board, and Commission hearing that simply does not exist across the bridge in West Palm Beach.

AfterOur Main Palm Beach Services
These are the two services Palm Beach homeowners call about most, with sliding and patio doors close behind.
Window Replacement in Palm Beach
Window replacement in Palm Beach means matching original profiles on historic estates while meeting current impact codes, or pulling corroded aluminum units from midcentury condos and installing properly flanged, marine-grade frames that won’t fail at the sill. We work with the LPC when the property requires it, and we specify from eight manufacturer lines by what the opening demands, not by what is in stock. Window Replacement in Palm Beach covers the full scope, from measured survey to final photo record.
Impact Windows & Doors in Palm Beach
Impact windows and doors in Palm Beach are not optional - the Florida Building Code mandates impact-rated glazing or approved shutters on every opening in this wind-borne debris region. For historic properties, that means custom-fabricated impact-rated steel casement or bronze units that satisfy both the LPC and the FBC, a dual-compliance challenge essentially unique to this island. Impact Windows & Doors in Palm Beach details the product lines and approval process.
Sliding & Patio Doors in Palm Beach
Sliding and patio doors in Palm Beach face the same salt corrosion that destroys standard hardware, plus the structural load of impact-rated glass in large formats. We see corroded rollers, failed weatherstripping, and frames that have pulled from their anchors on midcentury buildings along the Intracoastal. Sliding & Patio Doors in Palm Beach covers multi-panel systems, lift-and-slide hardware, and the marine-grade specifications that hold up here.

Window Installation in Palm Beach
Window installation in Palm Beach requires working with two masters: the Landmarks Preservation Commission, which enforces original profiles and proportions on historic structures, and the Florida Building Code, which mandates impact-rated glazing in this highest wind-borne debris zone. Most of our Palm Beach window work involves either custom-fabricated impact-rated steel or bronze units for Mediterranean Revival estates, or marine-grade vinyl or aluminum systems for midcentury condos where salt corrosion has destroyed original frames. Window Installation covers our full methodology, but Palm Beach jobs routinely require specifications that simply don’t exist in catalog form.
Single & Double Hung Windows
Signs you need it
Sashes that won’t stay open, visible sash cord deterioration, or single-pane glass with condensation between lites on original steel units in North End or Estate Section homes.
What it costs in Palm Beach
Standard vinyl single or double hung installation runs $1,200-$2,800 per opening; impact-rated aluminum or custom steel units for LPC-compliant historic work range $3,800-$7,500.
How we do it
We measure the existing rough opening and sightline, specify the replacement from our eight manufacturer lines by performance tier, pull permits with LPC pre-approval when required, and install with marine-grade fasteners and full perimeter sealant per the written scope.
Casement Windows
Signs you need it
Crank mechanisms that have seized from salt corrosion, frames pulling from masonry on original steel casements, or inability to achieve a weather-tight seal during storm season.
What it costs in Palm Beach
Standard casement installation ranges $1,800-$3,400; custom impact-rated steel or bronze casements fabricated for LPC compliance on historic estates run $4,500-$8,500 per unit.
How we do it
We document the existing hinge placement and sightline, fabricate or specify the replacement to match original proportions, coordinate LPC materials review when the property is Landmark-designated, and install with proper shimming and marine-grade hardware.
What Window Installation Costs in Palm Beach
| Item | Typical range in Palm Beach |
|---|---|
| Standard vinyl single/double hung | $1,200 - $2,800 |
| Impact-rated aluminum single/double hung | $2,400 - $4,200 |
| Custom steel or bronze casement (LPC-compliant) | $4,500 - $8,500 |
Do you pull permits for window installation in Palm Beach?
Yes. Every window installation in Palm Beach requires a building permit, and Landmark-designated properties must also clear Landmarks Preservation Commission review before permit issuance - a process we coordinate with the architect’s letter and materials sample board included in our scope. Call (772) 362-5967 to schedule your free measured survey.
How long does window installation take in Palm Beach?
Standard installations complete in one day per opening; LPC-pre-approval adds 30-90 days before work can begin, though we use that time for fabrication so the install itself still moves quickly. Call (772) 362-5967 for a timeline on your specific property.
Door Installation in Palm Beach
Door installation in Palm Beach means navigating the same dual compliance that governs windows: the Landmarks Preservation Commission requires original proportions and materials on historic estates, while the Florida Building Code mandates impact-rated assemblies in this highest wind-borne debris zone. Monumental entry surrounds on Addison Mizner-designed homes cannot accept standard pre-hung units, and corroded aluminum frames on midcentury condos along South Ocean Boulevard have often pulled from their anchors entirely. We measure the opening, photograph the existing conditions, and write the specification to satisfy both bodies before any fabrication begins.
Entry Doors
Signs you need it
Frame rot at the sill, door that binds in the jamb, or original wood entry doors on historic estates that have checked and warped beyond weather-tight sealing.
What it costs in Palm Beach
Standard fiberglass or steel entry door installation runs $1,800-$3,600; custom impact-rated mahogany or bronze units fabricated for LPC-compliant historic entries range $4,200-$8,000.
How we do it
We template the existing opening including jamb depth and sightline, specify the replacement from Therma-Tru or custom fabricators as the opening requires, coordinate LPC review when applicable, and install with proper flashing and marine-grade hardware.
Hurricane-Proof Front & Entry Doors
Signs you need it
Current door lacks impact-rated glazing or proper anchorage, or the existing assembly failed inspection during a home sale or insurance renewal.
What it costs in Palm Beach
Impact-rated fiberglass or steel entry systems with approved glazing run $2,800-$5,500; custom impact-rated bronze or steel with decorative glass for historic compliance range $5,500-$9,500.
How we do it
We verify the wind-load requirement for the specific Palm Beach address, specify the door and frame assembly from tested and labeled product lines, pull permits with LPC coordination when required, and install with impact-rated fasteners and full perimeter sealant.
What Door Installation Costs in Palm Beach
| Item | Typical range in Palm Beach |
|---|---|
| Standard fiberglass or steel entry door | $1,800 - $3,600 |
| Impact-rated fiberglass or steel entry system | $2,800 - $5,500 |
| Custom impact-rated bronze/steel (LPC-compliant) | $5,500 - $9,500 |
Do I need LPC approval to replace my front door in Palm Beach?
Only if your property is Landmark-designated; we verify this in our initial survey and coordinate the architect’s letter, materials sample board, and Commission hearing as part of our scope. Call (772) 362-5967 to check your property’s designation.
Can you match my historic door’s profile?
Yes. We work with custom fabricators who produce impact-rated steel and bronze units to original proportions, with LPC pre-approval built into our process. Call (772) 362-5967 to schedule your free measured survey.
Energy-Efficient Windows in Palm Beach
Energy-efficient windows in Palm Beach must solve a problem that standard low-E coatings alone don’t address: the combination of intense solar heat gain, high humidity, and salt-air corrosion that degrades standard spacer systems and frame seals within years, not decades. Midcentury condos along South Ocean Boulevard and the North End still run original single-pane aluminum units that conduct heat directly into the conditioned space, while historic estates with original steel casements face the additional constraint of LPC-mandated profiles that limit product selection to high-performance custom fabrications. We specify by the opening’s orientation, the existing frame material, and the performance tier the customer needs - not by what is in stock.
Low-E & Argon Gas Glass
Signs you need it
Rooms that overheat despite air conditioning running continuously, or visible UV damage to furnishings, flooring, or artwork near south- and west-facing windows.
What it costs in Palm Beach
Low-E with argon fill in standard vinyl or aluminum frames runs $1,400-$2,800 per opening; marine-grade impact-rated low-E/argon units for coastal exposure range $2,800-$4,800.
How we do it
We measure each opening’s solar heat gain coefficient requirement by orientation, specify the appropriate low-E coating and argon fill from ES Windows or ECO Window Systems, and install with warm-edge spacers rated for salt-air environments.
Insulated Laminated Glass
Signs you need it
Original single-pane steel casements on historic estates where the LPC prohibits full frame replacement but the owner needs improved thermal performance and impact compliance.
What it costs in Palm Beach
Insulated laminated retrofits into existing historic steel frames run $3,200-$6,500 per opening, including the custom fabrication and LPC materials review.
How we do it
We template the existing sash and frame, fabricate the insulated laminated lite to the measured sightline, coordinate LPC approval of the glass specification, and install with marine-grade sealants compatible with the original steel.
What Energy-Efficient Windows Costs in Palm Beach
| Item | Typical range in Palm Beach |
|---|---|
| Low-E/argon vinyl or aluminum replacement | $1,400 - $2,800 |
| Impact-rated low-E/argon marine-grade unit | $2,800 - $4,800 |
| Insulated laminated retrofit (historic steel frame) | $3,200 - $6,500 |
Will energy-efficient windows lower my cooling bills in Palm Beach?
Yes. Properly specified low-E/argon units with appropriate SHGC values for south Florida’s climate typically reduce solar heat gain by 40-60 percent compared to single-pane or clear-glass units. Call (772) 362-5967 for a performance analysis of your specific openings.
Can I get energy-efficient glass in my historic steel windows?
Yes. Insulated laminated retrofits into existing LPC-approved steel frames are a significant part of our Palm Beach work, with custom fabrication to the original sightline. Call (772) 362-5967 to schedule your free measured survey.
Impact Garage Doors in Palm Beach
Impact garage doors in Palm Beach face a structural challenge that standard residential garage doors don’t: they must resist wind-borne debris impact while spanning openings large enough for multiple vehicles, often on estate properties where the garage door is a prominent architectural element. The Florida Building Code treats garage doors as opening protections subject to the same impact and pressure requirements as windows and doors, and Palm Beach’s position in the highest wind zone means no exceptions. We see failed original doors on midcentury homes where the track has pulled from corroded headers, and we engineer replacements that satisfy the structural engineer’s letter required for permit approval.
Hurricane-Rated Garage Doors
Signs you need it
Existing garage door lacks a Miami-Dade or Florida Product Approval number, shows visible panel deformation from past wind events, or the homeowner’s insurance renewal requires documented opening protection.
What it costs in Palm Beach
Single-car hurricane-rated steel garage door installation runs $2,200-$4,200; double-car or custom wood-grain impact-rated units for estate properties range $4,500-$8,500.
How we do it
We measure the opening and verify the structural header capacity, specify the wind-load-rated door from tested product lines, obtain the engineer’s letter for permit, and install with reinforced track and impact-rated hardware.
Wind-Load Code Compliance
Signs you need it
Building permit application rejected for insufficient garage door documentation, or existing door installed before current code cycles without product approval documentation.
What it costs in Palm Beach
Wind-load compliance verification and replacement on a standard double-car opening runs $3,800-$6,500 including structural engineering, permits, and installation.
How we do it
We assess the existing opening and header structure, engage a structural engineer for the load-path analysis required by Palm Beach building officials, specify and install the code-compliant door, and pass final inspection with documentation.
What Impact Garage Doors Costs in Palm Beach
| Item | Typical range in Palm Beach |
|---|---|
| Single-car hurricane-rated steel door | $2,200 - $4,200 |
| Double-car impact-rated door | $4,500 - $8,500 |
| Wind-load compliance replacement (engineered) | $3,800 - $6,500 |
Does my garage door need to be impact-rated in Palm Beach?
Yes. The Florida Building Code classifies garage doors as opening protections in wind-borne debris regions, and Palm Beach is in the highest zone - every replacement requires a Miami-Dade or Florida Product Approval. Call (772) 362-5967 for a compliance check on your existing door.
Can you match my garage door to my home’s style?
Yes. We specify from product lines including wood-grain and custom panel designs that carry the required impact ratings, with the engineer’s documentation included in our scope. Call (772) 362-5967 to schedule your free measured survey.
Custom & Geometric Windows in Palm Beach
Custom and geometric windows in Palm Beach are not a specialty service here - they are the standard requirement for a significant portion of the housing stock. Addison Mizner’s Mediterranean Revival estates from the 1920s through 1940s feature arched, curved, and oversized openings that cannot accept rectangular replacement units, and the Landmarks Preservation Commission enforces original proportions and materials on these properties. Even midcentury condos have geometric clerestory or angled corner windows that demand custom fabrication. We measure to the sixteenth, photograph every condition, and specify from fabricators capable of producing impact-rated custom shapes in steel, bronze, or aluminum - with LPC pre-approval built into the timeline.
Arched & Curved Windows
Signs you need it
Original arched steel casements on historic estates with failed glazing, rotted sub-sills, or frames that have settled out of true with the masonry arch.
What it costs in Palm Beach
Custom arched or curved impact-rated steel or bronze windows with LPC compliance run $5,500-$12,000 per opening, including templating, fabrication, and Commission materials review.
How we do it
We create a full-size template of the existing arch, fabricate the replacement unit to the measured radius and sightline, submit materials samples to the LPC for pre-approval, and install with custom flashing to match the original masonry profile.
Oversized Openings
Signs you need it
Monumental living room or stair hall windows exceeding standard manufacturing limits, where the original steel frame has corroded or the single-pane glass no longer meets code or comfort requirements.
What it costs in Palm Beach
Oversized custom impact-rated units - typically 60+ square feet - range $8,500-$18,000 per opening, with structural engineering for wind load and header capacity included.
How we do it
We engineer the wind-load and dead-load requirements, specify the custom unit from Mr-Glass or CWS custom fabrication, coordinate structural engineering and LPC review when applicable, and install with reinforced anchorage and marine-grade sealants.
What Custom & Geometric Windows Costs in Palm Beach
| Item | Typical range in Palm Beach |
|---|---|
| Arched/curved steel or bronze (LPC-compliant) | $5,500 - $12,000 |
| Geometric shaped window (custom fabricated) | $4,200 - $9,500 |
| Oversized opening (60+ sq ft, engineered) | $8,500 - $18,000 |
How long does LPC approval take for custom windows?
Landmarks Preservation Commission materials review typically takes 30-90 days; we use that period for fabrication so the installation itself proceeds without delay once approval is issued. Call (772) 362-5967 to start the measured survey and templating process.
Can you replicate my original steel window profile in impact-rated glass?
Yes. Custom steel and bronze fabricators produce impact-rated units to original sightlines and proportions, with the LPC materials sample board included in our scope. Call (772) 362-5967 to schedule your free measured survey.
Brands We Service in Palm Beach
We specify from eight manufacturer lines - PGT, CGI, CWS, ES Windows, ECO Window Systems, Mr-Glass, Therma-Tru, and ViewLux - selected by what the opening requires, not by margin. For Palm Beach’s marine environment, we favor CWS and ES Windows for their salt-air-rated finishes, and Mr-Glass for custom geometric fabrications. Parts and hardware for these lines are stocked through our Miami (South FL) office, with most repair and replacement orders turning in 3-5 business days. our brands

FAQs About Windows & Doors in Palm Beach
Only if your property is designated a Landmark or located within a historic district; we verify this status during our initial survey and coordinate the entire LPC process including the architect’s letter, materials sample board, and hearing scheduling. Most midcentury condos and non-designated properties proceed under standard building permits only.
Salt spray oxidizes standard aluminum frames, seizes hardware, and pits screen frames within 2-4 years on ocean-exposed elevations; we specify marine-grade finishes, stainless or bronze hardware, and proper perimeter sealants as baseline practice, not upgrades, to counter this.
Yes. We provide the written specifications, product data sheets, and photo documentation that most Palm Beach HOAs require for architectural review, and we coordinate our schedule with their approval timeline so work begins only after written clearance.
