AfterTrusted Impact Windows for West Palm Beach Homeowners
Impact windows in West Palm Beach do two jobs at once. They protect your home when a hurricane pushes wind and debris at 130 miles per hour, and they quietly block heat, noise, and intruders every other day of the year. We’ve been installing and servicing our Impact Windows in West Palm Beach since 2011, and in that time we’ve seen firsthand what cheap glass does when a Category 3 makes landfall at the Palm Beach County coast. It fails. The right impact window, installed to Florida Building Code, doesn’t. If you’re wondering whether your current windows would hold, call (561) 660-9539 and we’ll give you a straight answer. We’re Winslow Windows & Doors, Ed Winslow’s company, and we answer the phone around the clock.
What Our Impact Windows Service Includes
Impact Window Installation
This is the big one and the reason most West Palm Beach homeowners call us. We remove your existing windows down to the rough opening, inspect the framing for rot or termite damage, then install new impact-rated units with the correct anchoring system for your wall type. In West Palm Beach, that’s usually concrete block on older homes and wood framing on newer construction, and each requires different fasteners and sealants. Every installation includes new flashing, a continuous seal, and a final water test. Ed’s name is on the door, and he signs off on every install we do.
Impact Window Replacement
When an impact window gets cracked, fogged, or simply worn out, replacement is often more cost-effective than repair. We match the new unit to your existing frame style, glass package, and tint so the replacement doesn’t stand out from the rest of the house. West Palm Beach’s salt air and intense UV exposure age windows faster than inland Florida, so we see plenty of 15-to-20-year-old impact units that have lost their seal. We’ll pull the old unit, inspect the opening, and install the new window with fresh anchors and sealant. If the frame is sound, this is a same-day job in most homes.
Impact Window Repair
Not every issue means a full replacement. If your impact window is hard to open, has a broken balance, or shows condensation between panes, we can often fix the hardware or replace the insulated glass unit while keeping your existing frame. We keep common replacement parts for PGT, CGI, and CWS windows on our trucks, which means fewer second trips and faster repairs for West Palm Beach homeowners. A window that doesn’t close and lock isn’t impact-rated anymore, no matter what the sticker says. If you’re not sure whether to repair or replace, call us and we’ll tell you what we’d do if it were our house.
Impact Sliding Glass Doors
Sliding glass doors are usually the largest opening in a West Palm Beach home, which makes them the most vulnerable point in a storm. We install and service impact-rated sliders from ES Windows and ECO Window Systems, both engineered for wind loads that exceed Florida’s coastal requirements. A properly installed impact slider should glide open with two fingers and seal tight enough to hold a piece of paper in place when closed. We also replace rollers, tracks, and locks on existing impact sliders that have gotten stiff or difficult to operate. Salt air and sand are hard on door hardware, and we see a lot of it in homes near the Intracoastal and the coast.
Impact French Doors and Entry Doors
French doors look beautiful and leak air like a screen door if they’re not installed correctly. Our impact French door installations include reinforced frames, multi-point locking systems, and a compression seal that keeps water out during horizontal rain. For entry doors, we install impact-rated units that meet Miami-Dade and Florida Building Code standards for windborne debris protection. In West Palm Beach, a single unrated entry door can void your wind mitigation credits and leave your home’s envelope compromised. We’ll make sure every door on your home earns its rating.
Impact Casement and Awning Windows
Casement and awning windows are popular in mid-century West Palm Beach homes, and they’re excellent in wind events because the sash presses into the frame when the wind blows. We install and service impact casements from CWS and Mr-Glass, including crank mechanisms, hinge replacements, and seal repairs. These windows often last longer than sliders, but their hardware takes a beating from daily use and coastal corrosion. If your crank is grinding or the sash won’t seal evenly, we’ll get it operating smoothly or recommend replacement if the frame has warped.
Impact Window Inspection and Wind Mitigation
If you’re buying or selling a home in West Palm Beach, a wind mitigation inspection can affect your insurance premium by hundreds of dollars a year. We inspect every opening in your home and document what is and isn’t impact-rated, then give you a clear written report for your insurer. If we find unprotected openings or weak points, we’ll tell you exactly what it costs to fix them. There’s no obligation, and we don’t charge a trip fee anywhere for Palm Beach Impact Windows. A lot of homeowners discover that one unprotected window is costing them far more in premiums than it would cost to replace.

Brands We Service for Impact Windows
We’re authorized installers for CWS and ES Windows, two of the most respected impact window manufacturers in Florida. CWS builds its frames from heavy-gauge aluminum and offers glass packages tuned for South Florida’s heat and UV exposure. ES Windows is known for precision engineering and a thinner frame profile that preserves sightlines while still meeting Miami-Dade impact standards. We’ve installed and serviced hundreds of both brands across West Palm Beach, and we know their hardware, their anchoring requirements, and their quirks.
We also work extensively with ECO Window Systems and Mr-Glass. ECO Window Systems is a newer player that’s gained a strong following in Palm Beach County for its energy-efficient low-E glass packages, and we were early adopters of their Impact Windows - Greenacres product line. Mr-Glass has been around for decades and makes a workhorse impact window that’s popular in newer West Palm Beach subdivisions. Whether you have one of these brands or something else entirely, we can service it, replace it, or give you an honest read on whether it’s worth keeping. If it’s been installed in a Florida home, we’ve probably worked on it.
Signs You Need Impact Windows Right Now
- Your windows are original to a home built before 2002. Florida’s impact window requirements tightened significantly after Hurricane Andrew in 1992 and again in 2001. If your West Palm Beach home still has its original single-pane windows from the 1980s or 1990s, they’re almost certainly not impact-rated, and they’re costing you money on cooling and insurance every month.
- You can feel air moving around closed windows on a windy day. Stand near your windows during the next afternoon thunderstorm. If you feel air movement, your seals are shot and the window isn’t doing its job, impact-rated or not. A window that doesn’t seal isn’t protecting you from wind, water, or pressure changes during a storm.
- Your insurance company sent a letter or hiked your premium. West Palm Beach is in a high-risk wind zone, and insurers are getting stricter about documented impact protection. If your premium jumped or your carrier wants a wind mitigation report, unprotected windows are often the reason. Replacing them can lower your premium enough to offset the cost over time.
- Condensation or fog between the glass panes. That haze between the glass means the insulated unit’s seal has failed. The window has lost its energy efficiency, and in an impact-rated unit, the structural bond between glass and frame may be compromised. In West Palm Beach’s humidity, a failed seal is not something to ignore.
- Windows stick, jam, or won’t lock from the inside. A window you can’t fully close and lock is a security risk and a storm liability. If you have to force it, shim it, or leave it unlocked because the latch doesn’t line up, the window has shifted or the hardware is failing. An impact window that can’t lock isn’t an impact window.
Our Impact Windows Process - Step by Step
- 1
Call and talk to a real person. Call (561) 660-9539 any hour of the day or night. You’ll get a live human being, not a voicemail tree. We’ll ask about your home, your windows, and what you’re experiencing, then schedule a time that works for you. No trip charge anywhere in Palm Beach County.
- 2
We show up and take real measurements. Ed or one of our background-checked, uniformed technicians comes to your West Palm Beach home and does a thorough opening-by-opening assessment. We measure every window, check the framing, note any water damage or rot, and document what’s there today. This is not a 10-minute drive-by quote.
- 3
You get line-item pricing in writing. Within a day or two, we send you a written estimate that breaks down exactly what we’re installing, what it costs, and what’s included. No vague allowances, no “we’ll figure it out later.” If you already have an estimate from another company, bring it to us for a free second opinion.
- 4
We install to Florida Building Code, every time. On install day, we protect your floors and furniture, remove the old windows carefully, and install the new impact units with code-specified anchors, flashing, and sealants. We pull permits and schedule inspections when required. You’ll know exactly who’s working in your home, because every tech is background-checked and arrives in a Winslow uniform.
- 5
We walk the job with you before we leave. Every window gets tested in front of you: opened, closed, locked, and checked for air and water infiltration. If anything isn’t right, we fix it before we pack up. Then we clean the work area and haul away all debris. The job isn’t done until you say it’s done, and the Done Right Promise says if it stops being right, we come back.
How Much Does Impact Windows Cost in West Palm Beach?
A typical impact window replacement in West Palm Beach runs $900 to $2,800 per window installed, depending on size, frame material, glass package, and how accessible the opening is. Standard aluminum impact single-hungs from a manufacturer like CWS or Mr-Glass usually fall in the $900 to $1,500 range. Larger fixed picture windows, casements, and specialty shapes run higher, and a full-home replacement on a 2,000-square-foot West Palm Beach house with 15 to 20 openings typically lands between $18,000 and $45,000. Sliding glass doors start around $3,500 and can exceed $8,000 for oversized multi-panel units.
What drives the price: the number of windows, their size, whether your existing frames can be reused or full replacement is required, the glass package you choose, and whether we find hidden framing damage when we pull the old units. What you should not do is accept a quote without a site visit, sign a contract with allowances instead of fixed prices, or skip the permit. We include permit fees and inspection scheduling in our estimates. Every quote you get from Winslow Windows & Doors is line-item, fixed, and free. Call (561) 660-9539 and we’ll give you an exact number for your home, not a brochure range.

Frequently Asked Questions - Impact Windows in West Palm Beach
Impact windows are windows built with laminated glass and reinforced frames that are tested to withstand hurricane-force winds and flying debris without breaking open. In West Palm Beach and throughout Palm Beach County, they must meet Florida Building Code standards for windborne debris protection, which means they’re shot with a 9-pound 2×4 at 50 feet per second during testing. If the glass cracks but the inner laminate holds and the window stays in its frame, it passes. Impact windows also provide permanent protection, unlike shutters, which only work if someone is home to deploy them before a storm.
Most whole-home impact window installations in West Palm Beach take 2 to 5 working days, depending on how many windows you’re replacing and what we find in the openings. A single window replacement is usually a half-day job. We’ll give you a specific timeline in your written estimate before any work begins, and we stick to it. If something unexpected comes up, like hidden rot in the framing, we’ll show you and tell you what it changes before we proceed.
Impact windows in West Palm Beach typically cost $900 to $2,800 per window installed, with most homeowners spending $18,000 to $45,000 for a full-home replacement. Sliding glass doors run $3,500 to $8,000 or more depending on size and configuration. The exact price depends on your window sizes, frame material, glass package, and whether we find damage when we open the walls. Call (561) 660-9539 for a free, line-item estimate on your specific home.
Yes. We’re authorized installers for CWS, ES Windows, ECO Window Systems, and Mr-Glass, and we service and replace units from PGT, CGI, and most other major manufacturers in the Florida market. If you have impact windows from a brand we don’t sell, we can still repair them, replace hardware, or replace the units outright. The brand matters less than the quality of the installation and the integrity of the anchoring system.
Yes. If a tree branch goes through a window or a storm blows in a door, call (561) 660-9539 any time. A live person answers 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, and we’ll get a crew to your West Palm Beach home as fast as we physically can. We board up damaged openings immediately if full replacement can’t be done right away, and we’ll work directly with your insurance company on the claim.
Every impact window installation from Winslow Windows & Doors is covered by the Done Right Promise. That’s 100 years, which is longer than the house will be there. It means if we didn’t do it right, we come back and make it right, at no cost to you. The windows themselves also carry manufacturer warranties from brands like CWS, ES Windows, and ECO Window Systems, which we register for you and help you claim if you ever need it.
Move furniture, plants, and decor at least 3 feet away from every window we’ll be working on, and clear a path from your entry door to the work areas. Remove curtains, blinds, and any window treatments so we can get to the frames. If there are pictures or mirrors on shared walls, take them down so hammering won’t knock them loose. We’ll bring drop cloths and floor protection, and we’ll tell you exactly what to expect before install day arrives.
