AfterTrusted Window Installation for West Palm Beach Homeowners
Window installation in West Palm Beach means choosing glass and frames that can stand up to hurricane season, salt air, and relentless afternoon sun. A properly installed window does more than open and close. It seals out wind-driven rain, keeps your cooling bills from spiking in August, and holds its own when a Category 2 storm pushes through. Since 2011, we’ve installed thousands of windows across West Palm Beach, and Ed Winslow’s name goes on every single job. When a window fails here, it fails fast. Salt corrodes hardware. UV degrades seals. Wood frames swell and rot in the humidity. Our crews know exactly what that looks like, because we see it every week from Westgate to Palm Beach. Call (561) 660-9539 and a real person answers, any hour, any day.
What Our Window Installation Service Includes
Single & Double Hung Windows
Single hung windows keep the top sash fixed while the bottom moves. Double hung lets both sashes slide, which improves airflow and makes cleaning a whole lot easier on a second story. In West Palm Beach, double hung windows are popular in older Ranch-style homes from the 1960s and 70s where homeowners want to keep the original look but gain modern impact ratings. Winslow Windows & Doors measures every opening to the sixteenth of an inch before ordering, then installs with foam-insulated frames and stainless hardware that won’t seize from salt air.
Horizontal Roller Windows
Horizontal roller windows slide side to side on tracks, which makes them a natural fit for wide openings where a crank or lift might feel awkward. You’ll see them all over West Palm Beach condos and mid-century homes, particularly near the Intracoastal where wide water views matter. We replace worn rollers, square up the track, and install new frames with low-E glass that cuts glare without dimming the view. If your current roller window takes two hands to open, that’s usually a track alignment problem, and we fix it during install, not after.
3-Panel Sliding (3-Lite Roller) Windows
3-Panel Sliding (3-Lite Roller) Windows give you one fixed lite and two that glide, opening up nearly two-thirds of the frame for ventilation. These are common in West Palm Beach sunrooms and pool-facing living areas where the goal is maximum glass and minimal obstruction. We install these with reinforced corner joints and interlocking meeting rails so the panels seal tightly against wind-driven rain. In neighborhoods like Lake Park and Westgate, where older aluminum frames have warped over decades, we often find the entire rough opening needs rebuilding before the new window goes in. We do that work too, and we include it in the upfront price.
Casement Windows
Casement Windows crank outward on side hinges, which means the weather seal gets tighter as wind presses against the sash. That’s a real advantage during West Palm Beach summer squalls. They’re also the easiest window to open one-handed, which suits locations above a kitchen sink or behind a couch. Winslow installs casements with multi-point locking systems and heavy-duty crank operators that won’t strip after a few years of salt exposure.
Awning & Hopper Windows
Awning & Hopper Windows work well in West Palm Beach because they let air circulate without exposing the opening to direct rain. Awning windows hinge at the top and push outward, so you can leave them cracked open during a light rain without soaking the sill. Hopper windows hinge at the bottom and tilt inward, usually found in bathrooms or basement-level utility rooms. Both styles work well in West Palm Beach because they let air circulate without exposing the opening to direct rain. We install these with tight perimeter seals and corrosion-resistant hardware, and we always confirm the drainage plane before setting the frame.
Picture & Fixed Windows
Picture windows don’t open. Their job is to frame a view, and West Palm Beach has plenty worth framing: the downtown skyline, a mature banyan canopy, the lake, the ocean. The installation challenge here is structural, because large fixed panes carry significant wind load. We size the glass to meet current Florida Building Code for your exact exposure category, then anchor the frame into the rough opening with fasteners spaced to spec. No bowing, no flexing, no whistling when the wind picks up.
Bay & Bow Windows
Bay & Bow Windows project outward from the wall. Bay windows typically use a three-panel arrangement with a fixed center and operable sides, while bow windows use four or more panels to create a gentler curve. Both add usable interior ledge space and bring in light from multiple angles, which changes how a living room feels by late afternoon. These projects require a cantilevered support structure, and in West Palm Beach that support has to be engineered for uplift. We pull permits, pour or brace the support, flash every intersection, and install the finished window as one weathertight assembly.
Garden Windows
A garden window is a small projecting box window, usually over a kitchen sink, with glass on three sides and a built-in shelf. It’s designed for herbs, orchids, or just a little extra sunlight. In West Palm Beach, garden windows need serious attention to flashing because a single leak can rot the wall cavity behind your cabinets without you noticing for years. We bed these units in sealant, add a sloped cap flashing above, and verify the interior shelf drains to the exterior. Then we test it with a garden hose before we call the job done.

Brands We Service for Window Installation
Winslow Windows & Doors is an authorized installer for CWS and ES Windows, and we’ve put both brands through some punishing West Palm Beach weather. CWS builds impact-rated aluminum and vinyl windows that hold up well against UV and salt. We know their frame extrusions, their glazing options, and their installation tolerances. If you already have CWS windows and need matching replacements, we can order the exact same series and finish so the new unit disappears next to the old ones.
ES Windows makes a lot of thermally broken aluminum frames specified on newer construction along Flagler Drive and downtown. We install those with the same care we’d use on a $20,000 retrofit, because the frame is only as good as the opening it sits in. ECO Window Systems and Mr-Glass units also come through our shop regularly, and we’re comfortable servicing or installing any of them. Whether you have one of those brands or something else entirely, we can help. The glass and frame matter, but the install is where the window earns its keep.
Signs You Need Window Installation Right Now
- Condensation between the panes. When the seal fails on a double-glazed unit, moisture gets trapped between the glass and fogs the window from inside the assembly. You can’t wipe it away. That fog means the insulating gas has escaped and the window has lost most of its energy performance. We see this constantly in West Palm Beach homes where six or eight hours of direct sun bakes the seals until they crack.
- Windows that stick, jam, or fall shut. A window that won’t stay open is more than an annoyance. It’s a balance system failure, a warped sash, or a frame that’s shifted out of square. In older Woodlawn and Belvedere Park homes, we often find the original wood frames have swollen and seized, and the fix isn’t a repair; it’s a full replacement with a properly flashed opening.
- Drafts you can feel from across the room. Stand three feet from a closed window on a breezy day. If you feel air moving, the weatherstripping is shot or the frame is no longer square to the sash. In August, that leak is air you paid to cool. In September, it’s water trying to find a way in.
- Visible rot, rust, or flaking around the frame. Salt air eats aluminum. Humidity rots wood. If you see corrosion pitting on the frame corners or soft spots in the casing, the structural integrity of the entire opening is compromised. By the time rot shows on the inside, the damage in the wall cavity is usually worse.
- Windows that rattle or whistle during storms. That noise is wind finding the gap between sash and frame. A well-installed impact window doesn’t rattle, because the interlocks meet tightly and the frame is anchored to the rough opening at every prescribed point. If your current windows sing during a summer squall, they’re already losing the argument with the weather.
Our Window Installation Process - Step by Step
- 1
The walkthrough and measurement. We come to your home in West Palm Beach, look at every window opening, and measure each one precisely. We check the squareness of the rough opening, the condition of the surrounding framing, and the existing flashing details. If there’s rot or termite damage hidden behind the old frame, we’ll find it before we order anything.
- 2
Straightforward pricing. We give you a written, line-item quote that covers the window, the install, the flashing, the trim, and the haul-away of the old unit. If we find a problem once the old window comes out, we tell you immediately and the added work is priced and approved before we continue. No surprises on the invoice, ever.
- 3
Removal and prep of the opening. We take the old window out carefully, inspect the rough opening, and repair any compromised framing. We use a moisture meter on the surrounding sheathing, especially near sills. If the wood reads high, we find the leak and fix it before the new window hides it.
- 4
Installation and flashing. The new window is set, leveled, shimmed, and anchored per the manufacturer’s exact specs and the Florida Building Code. We flash the sill, the jambs, and the head in the correct sequence so water always drains outward and down. This is the step where bad installs fail, and it’s the reason we never rush it.
- 5
Seal, test, and clean up. We insulate the perimeter, apply interior and exterior sealant, trim out the opening, and then test the operation of the sash or crank in both directions. We run a water test on exterior-grade installations. Then we haul away the old window, the packaging, and every scrap. You shouldn’t know we were there, except for the new window.
How Much Does Window Installation Cost in West Palm Beach?
A typical single or double hung window installation in West Palm Beach runs between $550 and $1,100 per opening, depending on size, frame material, and whether you’re upgrading to impact-rated glass. A casement window generally falls in the $700 to $1,400 range. Bay and bow windows are the exception; those projects often run $3,500 to $7,000 because they require structural support and a new roof over the projection. The two biggest cost drivers are glass type and the condition of the surrounding framing. Impact glass adds roughly 35 to 50 percent over standard insulated glass, but it’s the single most common upgrade in this market and required for most new construction and many retrofit projects. If the rough opening has rot or termite damage, expect additional framing repairs. We include those costs in your written quote before we start, never after. We offer a free second opinion on any written estimate you already have. If another company quoted you, bring it to us. We’ll go through it line by line. Call (561) 660-9539 and we’ll schedule a measurement at your home.

Frequently Asked Questions - Window Installation in West Palm Beach
Window installation is the process of removing an old or absent window and setting a new unit into the wall opening, properly flashed, insulated, leveled, and secured. It includes preparing the rough opening, repairing any damaged framing, anchoring the new window to code, sealing every joint, and trimming out the interior and exterior. The install matters as much as the window itself; a badly flashed opening will leak even with a premium frame and glass.
Most individual window installations take one to three hours per opening once the old window is out, and a typical whole-home project of eight to twelve windows is usually completed in two to three working days. Bay or bow windows take longer because of the structural work underneath. We’ll give you a day-by-day schedule in your written quote so you know exactly when we’ll be in your home. Call (561) 660-9539 and we’ll walk you through what your specific project requires.
Single and double hung windows run $550 to $1,100 per opening, casements run $700 to $1,400, and bay or bow windows usually land between $3,500 and $7,000 depending on size and structural needs. Impact-rated glass adds 35 to 50 percent over standard insulated glass. The exact number depends on the window type, size, frame material, and whether the opening needs framing repairs. We provide free line-item estimates so you see exactly what you’re paying for before you commit.

Our workmanship is covered by the Done Right Promise: if it’s not done right, we make it right. That’s Ed Winslow’s personal commitment, and he’s the one whose name is on the door. In addition, the window manufacturers carry their own published warranties on glass, frame, and hardware. We’ll walk you through both so you know exactly what’s covered, for how long, and what to do if anything ever comes up.
Clear a path to each window by moving furniture, remove curtains and blinds, and take anything fragile off the sills. We’ll lay down drop cloths and clean up thoroughly at the end of each day, but a clear work area helps us move faster and keeps your things safe. If you have landscape plantings directly outside the window openings, trim them back just enough for ladder access. We’ll do the rest.
