Why Winslow Windows & Doors Is Royal Palm Beach’s Preferred Impact Windows Company
We’ve been installing Impact Windows across South Florida since 2011, and Royal Palm Beach keeps us busy for one reason: this village was built out fast between the mid-1970s and mid-1990s, and nearly every original opening has aged past its useful life. That means aluminum sliders with clouded glass, jalousie louvers that leak air through tropical-force gusts, and exterior doors that predate Florida’s post-Andrew impact standards. We’ve seen it all on streets like Ponce de Leon, Crestwood Boulevard, and Okeechobee. It’s not random to us - it’s predictable, which is why we can price hidden repairs up front instead of springing them on you mid-job.
What you get with us that big-box installers can’t match: Ed Winslow is the owner, not a franchisee three states away. Our license number and address are published. Every crew member is background-checked and arrives in uniform, so you know exactly who’s at your door before the truck parks. And our Done Right Promise means if it’s not done right, we come back and make it right - a standard of accountability written into every job. Impact Windows in Royal Palm Beach is what we do, not a side offering.
The one down the road.
Our Impact Windows Services in Royal Palm Beach
This is where the permit-triggered reality of Royal Palm Beach’s uniform tract housing matters. One failed slider legally forces a whole-house impact conversion under Palm Beach County code, because every Sliding Glass & Patio Doors in Royal Palm Beach replacement opening must be impact-rated. We plan for that from the first measurement.
Full Impact-Rated Jalousie-to-Casement Replacements
Royal Palm Beach has more jalousie windows than almost anywhere we work. They were everywhere in the original Florida rooms and lanais of 1970s and 1980s CBS homes. Glass louver systems cannot meet current HVHZ design pressure requirements, period. We replace them with impact-rated PGT casements or fixed picture units with low-E insulated glass, and the difference in both security and air sealing is something you feel the first afternoon thunderstorm.
Whole-Home Impact Window Conversions
A single failed or leaking slider in a Royal Palm Beach tract home often triggers a full Window Replacement in Royal Palm Beach conversion, because Palm Beach County requires every replacement opening to be impact-rated. That’s not an upsell - it’s the code. We handle this as a single project: one permit, one coordinated install, one written quote with line-item allowances for hidden framing and waterproofing that we can see coming in these neighborhoods. The work can be installed in as fast as a single day once your units arrive, and custom fabrication typically runs 4-6 weeks.
Pre-Remodel Opening Inspections
Before you push a wall out or convert a lanai, we inspect every opening like the permit inspector will. On older Royal Palm Beach CBS homes, the hidden stuff behind stucco - rotted jambs, rusted steel lintels, missing flashing - is predictable enough that we write it into the contract as an allowance. That means when we open the wall and find what we expect, there’s no surprise invoice. If we find something else, you approve the price in writing before we touch it. Ed’s name is on the door - and on every job we do.
Impact-Rated Sliding Glass Doors and Exterior Doors
Sliders on tract homes in Royal Palm Beach fail in clusters. The original aluminum frames oxidize, seals go, and water wicks behind the stucco, rotting the rough opening and rusting the lintel before you ever see a leak. We replace them with impact-rated options from Therma-Tru and PGT, set into properly shimmed and flashed openings that will outlast the original opening by decades.

Trusted Brands We Service in Royal Palm Beach
We’re authorized installers for Cws service in Royal Palm Beach, PGT, CGI, ES Windows, ECO Window Systems, Mr-Glass, Therma-Tru. For Royal Palm Beach’s older tract stock, we specify a lot of PGT single-hungs and casements for whole-home conversions, and Therma-Tru doors where a fiberglass replacement has to match a mid-1980s facade. We stock common replacement parts and glass packs locally for faster turnaround on repair callbacks. What we don’t do: sell brands we’re not authorized to install. That’s the whole lineup.
Common Impact Windows Problems We See in Royal Palm Beach Homes
- Clouded glass in original 1970s aluminum sliders. Decades of humidity and afternoon thunderstorms break down the seals, and you’re left with insulated glass units that look fogged from the inside. This is the most common complaint we hear on streets like Cambridge and Madeline.
- Jalousie louvers that can’t meet HVHZ design pressure. Florida-room and lanai enclosures built in the 1970s and 1980s are functionally impossible to bring into compliance without complete replacement. They leak air and water during tropical-force winds, and no repair fixes that.
- Rotted jambs hidden behind stucco. Inadequate original jamb shimming in CBS block openings lets water wick behind the frame, rotting the rough opening and rusting the steel lintel before any visible leak appears. We’ve seen this on homes throughout the original village section.
- Hollow-core exterior doors that predate post-Andrew standards. Many Royal Palm Beach homes still have the original fiberglass or hollow-core doors from the 1980s. They flex under wind load and compromise the entire opening’s impact rating. We replace them with impact-rated Therma-Tru units that handle the design pressure and seal properly.
Pricing for Impact Windows in Royal Palm Beach, FL
Upfront pricing. No surprises on the invoice. A single impact window replacement in Royal Palm Beach generally runs $800-$1,500 installed, and impact single-hungs fall between $900 and $1,800. Large or custom openings - picture windows, radius units, oversized sliders - typically land between $2,500 and $5,000. Whole-home packages on Royal Palm Beach’s tract homes run $8,000-$25,000 and up, driven by opening count, frame material (vinyl vs. aluminum), floor height, and your wind zone’s design pressure requirements. We never quote over the phone without measuring - the quote you get is the price you pay unless you approve a written change order.
What Impact Windows Costs in Royal Palm Beach
Here’s the price breakdown Royal Palm Beach homeowners actually ask about:
- Impact windows, general replacement: $800-$1,500 per window installed
- Impact single-hung: $900-$1,800 per opening
- Large or custom openings: $2,500-$5,000
- Whole-home packages: $8,000-$25,000+
- Wind-mitigation inspection: $75-$150 (often offset by premium credits within the first year)
What moves the price in Royal Palm Beach specifically: the village’s flat, unobstructed terrain sits in South Florida’s hurricane corridor with no natural windbreaks, so design pressure requirements stay high even 15 miles inland. Opening count is the biggest variable - a 1970s four-bedroom tract home with a Florida room can have 20-plus openings. Frame material also matters: vinyl keeps costs down, while aluminum runs higher but matches certain original facades. We’ll give you a written line-item quote after a free in-home measure.

Florida Pays You Back
Florida’s incentive stack for impact windows is real, and Royal Palm Beach homeowners should know what’s available before they assume the full cost is on them. The My Safe Florida Home program offers matching grants up to $10,000 for qualifying wind-mitigation upgrades, and impact-resistant windows and doors are exempt from Florida sales tax. The federal 25C energy credit covers 30% of product cost, up to $600 per year on qualifying energy-efficient units. And after a wind-mitigation inspection (typically $75-$150), many Royal Palm Beach homeowners see windstorm-premium credits averaging around 25% on the windstorm portion of their policy. Programs and carriers set the final numbers, so we don’t guarantee a dollar figure - but we do handle the inspection coordination and documentation so you’re not chasing paperwork.
One more thing worth knowing: impact windows beat hurricane shutters for most Royal Palm Beach homeowners, because there are no panels to haul out, no tracks to maintain, and no scramble when a storm is 48 hours out. Permanent protection is in place the day the window goes in.

FAQs - Impact Windows in Royal Palm Beach
Palm Beach County code requires every replacement opening to be impact-rated, so once you replace one slider, any other openings you later replace must also be impact-rated. Most Royal Palm Beach homeowners choose to do the whole house at once - one permit, one install, one warranty - rather than piecemeal replacements at different times. Call (561) 660-9539 and we’ll walk you through the code and the cost.
You can keep them, but they’ll remain non-compliant. Jalousie louvers cannot meet current HVHZ design pressure standards, which means they’ll still leak air and water during tropical-force winds and won’t reduce your windstorm premium. Most Royal Palm Beach homeowners replace them during the same project once they see the difference a sealed impact-rated casement makes. We’ll give you a straight answer and a written price for either path.
On Ponce de Leon Street in the original 1970s section, we opened a master-bedroom wall to replace a failed aluminum slider and found the jamb had rotted from years of water intrusion behind the stucco. The permit inspection flagged the adjacent jalousie Florida-room openings as non-compliant, so we wrote the allowance for full impact-rated PGT casements and a new low-E insulated glass unit into the change order - and the homeowner’s wind mitigation credits cut their premium by over $400 a year. That’s not an outlier; it’s the pattern in Royal Palm Beach’s tract stock. We write allowances for it in the contract, so there are no surprises.
Yes, often substantially. After a wind-mitigation inspection, many Royal Palm Beach homeowners see windstorm-premium credits averaging around 25% on the windstorm portion of their policy. Combined with My Safe Florida Home grants and the Florida sales-tax exemption, the net cost drops significantly. We’ll coordinate the inspection and documentation for you. Call (561) 660-9539 for an exact quote on your home.
Miami-Dade NOA is the stricter certification, required in Miami-Dade and Broward counties. Florida Product Approval is the statewide standard that covers Royal Palm Beach’s wind zone, but many products carry both. We specify products with Florida Product Approval numbers matched to each opening’s design pressure, and HVHZ compliance applies where Royal Palm Beach’s wind zone requires it. If you’re not sure what your replacement needs, call (561) 660-9539 and we’ll tell you what’s required for your specific address - not a generic answer.
