Casement Windows in Boca Raton, FL

Casement windows are hinged on one side and swing outward with a hand crank, giving you full-opening ventilation, a clean sight line, and one of the tightest seals available in a residential window-unlike Picture & Fixed Windows, which don’t open at all. In Boca Raton’s humid, wind-driven climate, that seal matters: a properly installed casement creates an airtight compression fit that keeps conditioned air in and salt-laden coastal air out far more effectively than a double-hung window can. If you’re replacing aging jalousies, upgrading builder-grade sliders, or adding impact-rated windows ahead of hurricane season, casements are worth a serious look.

At Winslow Windows & Doors, Ed Winslow has been overseeing casement window installations across Boca Raton since 2011. We’re locally owned, owner-operated, and we install impact-rated casements from brands like PGT and ECO Window Systems – products tested to Florida’s strict Product Approval standards. Call us at (561) 816-5648 and a live person answers, any hour of the day. For a full picture of what we do with windows in this city, visit our Window Installation in Boca Raton page.

When You Need Casement Windows

Not every home needs casement windows, but certain situations make them the obvious right call. Here are the most common scenarios we see in Boca Raton:

• Your existing windows are failing the wind test. If you’re feeling drafts around frames or seeing condensation between panes, you’re losing both energy efficiency and hurricane protection. Single-pane or early-generation double-pane windows in older Boca Raton neighborhoods like Boca West or The Sanctuary were never rated for the wind loads we now require.
• You need maximum cross-ventilation without sacrificing security. Casements open fully – 100% of the frame area – unlike sliders or single-hung windows, which open at most 50%. In the narrow lots common in East Boca, catching even a light ocean breeze can cut AC runtime noticeably.
• You’re updating to impact-rated glazing. Boca Raton sits in the High-Velocity Hurricane Zone (HVHZ), which means any new window installation requires Miami-Dade or Florida Product Approval. PGT and ECO Window Systems casements meet those standards, and we handle the permit process with Palm Beach County for you.
• Your kitchen or bathroom has an over-counter window. Casements are the standard solution for windows installed above countertops or deep in wall cavities where reaching down to lift a sash isn’t practical. The crank operates from the front of the frame.
• You want better energy numbers. South Florida’s cooling loads are relentless from April through October. The compression seal on a casement window – where the sash presses into the frame rather than sliding across a channel – consistently outperforms sliders on air infiltration tests, which translates directly to lower FPL bills.
• You’re renovating a contemporary or Mediterranean-style home. The clean, uninterrupted glass plane of a casement suits both modern and traditional Boca Raton architecture. We see them in new construction in Broken Sound and in full-home renovations throughout Mizner Park-area homes.

Our Casement Windows Process

We don’t hand you a quote and disappear until installation day. Every job Ed oversees follows the same structured process so nothing falls through the cracks.

1. In-home measurement and consultation. A uniformed, background-checked technician visits your Boca Raton home and takes precise rough-opening measurements on every window you want replaced. We assess the existing framing condition, note any water intrusion or rot that needs addressing before new windows go in, and discuss your priorities: impact rating, energy performance, operating style, and frame color. No trip charge inside Palm Beach County.
2. Product selection and permit submission. Based on your measurements and the home’s construction type (CBS, wood frame, or older concrete block common in pre-1990 Boca), we specify the right PGT or ECO Window Systems casement unit. We then pull the Palm Beach County building permit and submit the required Florida Product Approval documentation. You don’t chase the permit desk – we do.
3. Upfront pricing confirmation. Before anything is ordered, you receive a written, itemized quote. The number on that paper is the number on your invoice. We don’t pad for “unforeseen conditions” after the job is started.
4. Removal and frame preparation. On installation day, we remove your existing windows carefully – protecting interior finishes and exterior stucco. Any deteriorated sill or framing discovered during removal gets addressed and documented before new units go in. Skipping this step is how leaks develop; we don’t skip it.
5. Installation and waterproofing. New casement units are set, shimmed, and anchored to Florida code. All perimeter gaps are sealed with code-compliant flashing tape and sealant appropriate for Boca Raton’s salt-air exposure. Hardware is adjusted so the crank operates smoothly and the sash compresses fully against the weatherstrip.
6. Inspection sign-off and walkthrough. We schedule and pass the Palm Beach County inspection. Then we walk through the finished windows with you: we demonstrate the crank, the lock, and the tilt-wash mechanism if the unit has one. You know exactly what you have before we leave. And if anything isn’t right – ever – our 36500-Day Done Right Promise means we come back and make it right.

Casement Windows Pricing in Boca Raton

Casement window pricing in Boca Raton typically runs between $650 and $1,800 per window installed, including the Palm Beach County permit. That’s a wide range, and the spread is real – here’s what drives it.

A single casement replacement on a standard CBS home in east Boca Raton – say a 30″ x 48″ kitchen window with a straight swap into an existing rough opening – typically lands between $750 and $950 fully installed. A whole-home replacement of eight to twelve windows in a Boca West estate home with large openings and custom aluminum frames can reach $12,000 to $18,000 for the full project.

We don’t charge a trip fee inside Palm Beach County. Seniors and veterans receive a permanent 10% discount – just mention it when you call. And if you have a written estimate from another company, we’ll give you a free second opinion on it, no strings attached.

Why Boca Raton Homeowners Choose Winslow

Boca Raton has no shortage of window contractors. What’s harder to find is one where the owner’s name is literally on the business and he still shows up.

Ed Winslow founded this company in 2011 with a published address, a state license, and a simple standard: if it’s not done right, we come back and make it right. That’s the 36500-Day Done Right Promise, and it means exactly what it sounds like. Not a one-year labor warranty buried in fine print. A standing commitment that doesn’t have an asterisk.

We’re an authorized installer for PGT and ECO Window Systems, among others – brands with specific installation requirements that, if ignored, void the manufacturer’s warranty. We follow them because Ed’s reputation is tied to every window we touch in this city.

Every technician on a Winslow job is background-checked and arrives in uniform. You’ll know who’s coming before the truck pulls up. We handle the Palm Beach County permit process start to finish, and we don’t consider the job done until the inspection passes and you’ve seen the crank work with your own hands.

One more thing that matters in Boca Raton: we answer the phone at 2 a.m. Not a voicemail. Not a call center reading from a script. A real person who can pull up your job, answer your question, or get Ed on the line if that’s what it takes.

Casement Windows and Boca Raton’s Climate

South Florida’s environment is genuinely hard on windows in ways that homeowners sometimes underestimate until they’ve lived here for a decade. Salt air from the Intracoastal and the Atlantic coast accelerates corrosion in aluminum hardware, a concern even for specialty styles like Garden Windows. Humidity cycling between outdoor air (often 85-95% relative humidity in summer) and aggressively air-conditioned interiors creates expansion and contraction stress on frames and glazing compounds. And then there’s the wind – Boca Raton sits far enough south that even a Category 1 storm making landfall near Fort Lauderdale puts sustained 75-90 mph gusts over the city.

Casement windows handle this environment well for a structural reason: when the wind loads up against the exterior face of the glass, the sash is pushed harder into the frame seal, not pulled away from it the way Horizontal Roller Windows or a single-hung sash can be. That’s why impact-rated casements from manufacturers like PGT are a common specification in coastal Boca Raton homes between A1A and Federal Highway.

We also see a specific failure pattern in older Boca Raton casements: the operator mechanism (the crank and gear assembly) corrodes and seizes before the glass itself fails. When that happens, the window won’t close fully, the weatherstrip loses its compression, and your energy bill climbs before you even notice a draft. If your casement window is hard to crank or won’t latch flush, call us – sometimes it’s a hardware replacement, not a full window replacement, and we’ll tell you honestly which one you need.

FAQs – Casement Windows in Boca Raton

Are casement windows impact-rated for Boca Raton’s hurricane requirements?

Yes – impact-rated casement windows are available and are the standard specification for Window Installation services in Boca Raton, which falls under Florida’s High-Velocity Hurricane Zone (HVHZ). We install PGT and ECO Window Systems casements that carry both Miami-Dade and Florida Product Approval, meeting Palm Beach County’s building code. These units use laminated impact glass bonded to an aluminum or vinyl frame engineered to withstand the wind loads and projectile-impact tests required by the state. If your current casements are not impact-rated – common in homes built before 2002 – replacing them is both a safety upgrade and, in many cases, a condition for your homeowner’s insurance discount. Call (561) 816-5648 and we’ll confirm what your home needs.

How much do casement windows cost in Boca Raton?

A single casement window installed in Boca Raton typically costs between $650 and $1,800, with most standard residential replacements landing in the $750-$1,100 range. The biggest cost variables are window size, glass package (standard impact laminate vs. low-E or argon-filled), and frame material (vinyl vs. aluminum). Permit and inspection fees are included in our quotes – we don’t separate them out as add-ons at the end. Call us at (561) 816-5648 for a free in-home estimate; it costs you nothing and you’ll have a real number to work with.

Can casement windows be installed in a home with stucco or CBS construction?

Concrete block (CBS) and stucco construction is the norm in Boca Raton, and casement windows are a standard fit for it. The installation method differs from wood-frame construction – we use an anchor-flange or buck system appropriate to the opening type – and the flashing and sealant details are critical in CBS homes because water can wick through block if the perimeter seal isn’t done correctly. Our installers are experienced specifically with Boca Raton’s mix of pre-1990 CBS block and newer poured-concrete construction. We assess the framing condition before ordering product so there are no surprises on installation day.

How long does a casement window installation take?

A single casement window replacement takes roughly two to four hours from removal to cleanup. A full-home replacement of eight to twelve windows typically runs one to two full days depending on crew size, opening complexity, and whether any framing repairs are needed. The Palm Beach County permit process adds time before installation day – generally one to three weeks from permit submission to approval, depending on current county volume. We submit permits immediately after your order is confirmed so that wait doesn’t extend your overall timeline unnecessarily. Once the installation is done, we schedule the inspection and stay on it until sign-off is complete.
