AfterWindow Company in Palm Beach, FL
Window and door work in Palm Beach runs on a different set of rules than anywhere else in South Florida. The barrier-island estates here, many built in the 1920s through 1940s under the Mediterranean Revival influence of architect Addison Mizner, are reviewed by the town’s Architectural Commission before a single opening gets touched. Salt air off the Atlantic and Lake Worth Lagoon chews through standard aluminum in a way mainland homes never experience. If you’re weighing window replacement or door installation in Palm Beach, call us at (903) 354-7134. We’ll walk you through what your specific house actually needs.
Why Palm Beach Homes Are Different
The housing stock here splits into three distinct eras, and each one demands its own approach. The grand Mizner-era estates from the 1920s-1940s carry original steel casement windows, Crittall-style, set into stucco and hollow-tile masonry. Replacing those means matching razor-thin sight lines and divided-lite patterns that ARCOM will check against the original design. Then there’s the mid-century inventory from the 1950s and 1960s: jalousie windows and single-pane aluminum sliders that leak air and let the salt in. And the newer construction, which still sits on an island where design wind speeds require impact-rated glazing throughout.
The geography makes it worse. This is a narrow barrier island. Every parcel faces salt-laden air from either the Atlantic on the east side or the Intracoastal on the west, and often both. Aluminum extrusions, hardware, door thresholds, hinges: everything corrodes faster here than five miles inland in West Palm Beach. No one pulls a “standard” window off the shelf for a Palm Beach job and expects it to hold up. We spec products accordingly, and the pricing section below reflects what that actually costs.
The permitting reality is the third piece. ARCOM routinely rejects impact replacement windows that use visible black rubber glazing gaskets, because the original Mizner-era windows were glazed with putty and had almost no visible gasket at all. The fix is thermally broken, narrow-profile impact frames with wet-glazed or concealed gaskets. Contractors who don’t know this get their permits stalled at architectural review for months. We know it, and we bid for it from day one.
Our Main Palm Beach Services
Window replacement and door installation are the two calls we get most often from Palm Beach homeowners, with window installation close behind for new construction and additions. Each service has its own Palm Beach page with full pricing and specifics.
Window Replacement in Palm Beach
Replacing windows on this island usually means pulling out original steel casements or tired jalousies and setting impact-rated units into masonry openings without disturbing the stucco work ARCOM cares about. Every replacement has to hold its profile dimensions and sight lines to the original, or the permit stalls at review. We measure, document the existing divided-lite pattern, and order the glass so the new window reads the same from the curb. Full details on Window Replacement in Palm Beach.
Window Installation in Palm Beach
New-construction and addition work in Palm Beach follows the same ARCOM rules but without an existing window dictating the pattern. That means selecting mullion layouts, frame finishes, and glass packages that satisfy the commission and the coastal wind-load code together. We handle the spec, the permit documentation, and the installation. See Window Installation in Palm Beach for what’s involved.
Door Installation in Palm Beach
Entry doors on Palm Beach estates take a beating from salt and sun, and many original doors are solid mahogany or custom steel that can’t be replaced with an off-the-shelf unit. Thresholds corrode, hardware seizes, and the door itself starts to bind. We install impact-rated entry systems, often from Therma-Tru, that match the house’s architectural language and keep the weather outside. The full scope is on our Door Installation in Palm Beach page.

Palm Beach pricing runs higher than the mainland because the hardware has to resist both salt corrosion and hurricane wind loads, and because ARCOM-compliant frames with concealed gaskets cost more to source than standard impact units. That’s the honest math. Our written quote covers every line item, and we don’t revise it once work starts.

- Craig Dillard"Our sliding patio door had come off its track years ago and we just lived with it. New one is smooth as butter. They hauled off the old one and vacuumed up before they left."
- Jessica Landry"Replaced eight drafty old windows that were basically single pane. The house is warmer already and the street noise is way down. Crew was on time both days and the price was exactly the quote."
