AfterHow Much Does Window Replacement Cost in Boca Raton?
Window Replacement in Boca Raton typically costs between $400 and $1,800 per window installed, with most homeowners spending $6,000 to $18,000 for a full-house project. That wide range reflects real differences: a standard double-hung vinyl window in a Boca condo runs far less than a large impact-rated casement in a custom home on the Intracoastal. The two biggest cost drivers here specifically are impact-glass requirements and Florida Product Approval compliance – both of which affect nearly every Boca Raton homeowner and push costs higher than national averages you’ll find on generic pricing guides.
Window Replacement Cost Breakdown (2026)
The table below reflects what Winslow Windows & Doors actually sees in the Boca Raton market – neighborhoods from Broken Sound to East Boca, from Boca West to the barrier island. These are installed costs, meaning labor, materials, disposal, and permit fees are folded in. Product-only prices will look lower, but a window sitting in your garage isn’t protecting your home.
| Window Type | Installed Cost Per Window | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Standard Single-Hung (non-impact) | $400 – $700 | Rare in Boca Raton; most homes require impact or storm protection |
| Impact Single-Hung (vinyl/aluminum) | $550 – $900 | Most common entry-level choice for Boca condos and townhomes |
| Impact Double-Hung | $650 – $1,100 | Popular in mid-range single-family homes; PGT and CGI both strong here |
| Impact Casement | $800 – $1,400 | Tighter seal, better ventilation; common in newer Boca construction |
| Impact Sliding (horizontal roller) | $900 – $1,500 | Frequently specified in Boca oceanfront and Intracoastal properties |
| Impact Picture / Fixed | $700 – $1,200 | No moving parts; common in great rooms and entryways |
| Impact Bay or Bow Window | $1,800 – $3,500 | Custom framing required; structural assessment often needed |
| Custom or Geometric Shape | $1,200 – $4,000+ | Arch, circle, trapezoid; common in Mediterranean-style Boca homes |
| Full House Replacement (10-15 windows) | $7,000 – $22,000 | Varies significantly by home size, floor count, and product line |
A few things worth spelling out about these numbers. First, Boca Raton sits in Palm Beach County’s High-Velocity Hurricane Zone (HVHZ) designation under the Florida Building Code. That means virtually every Energy-Efficient Upgrade here must use impact-rated or hurricane-panel-protected glazing – you can’t simply swap in a standard builder-grade window and call it done. That HVHZ requirement alone adds $150 to $400 per opening compared to what you’d pay in central Florida. Second, permit costs in Boca Raton typically run $150 to $400 per project depending on scope, and any reputable installer – including us – pulls the permit and handles the inspection so you’re covered if you ever sell or make an insurance claim. Third, if your home was built before 2002 and has never had its windows replaced, there’s a reasonable chance the rough openings need new framing or flashing, which adds $100 to $300 per window. We find this most frequently in older homes near Mission Hills and the original Boca Teeca communities.
For a single-story home with 12 standard-size openings using PGT WinGuard impact windows – one of the most requested products we install – a realistic all-in budget is $9,500 to $15,000. That’s the honest middle of the market in Boca Raton in 2026.
What Affects Window Replacement Pricing in Boca Raton
- Impact vs. non-impact glass: Boca Raton’s position along the South Florida coast means the Florida Building Code requires impact protection or an approved shutter system on every window. Impact glass laminated to meet Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance (NOA) standards costs more than standard insulated glass – typically $80 to $200 more per window – but it eliminates the need for storm shutters and can reduce homeowner’s insurance premiums meaningfully. Most of our Boca Raton customers recoup a portion of the cost through insurance credits within the first few years.
- Frame material: Vinyl frames are the most affordable option and handle South Florida’s salt air and UV exposure well. Aluminum frames cost more but are structurally required for some larger openings and are popular in contemporary Boca homes. Fiberglass frames – available through products like ES Windows – sit at the top of the price range but offer the best dimensional stability in our heat and humidity. The difference between a vinyl and aluminum frame on the same window can be $100 to $250 per unit.
- Window size and configuration: Pricing is partly driven by square footage of glass, but configuration matters just as much. A 48×48-inch single-hung is straightforward. A 72×96-inch sliding glass window on an Intracoastal-facing wall requires heavier frames, more complex installation, and sometimes a two-person crew with different equipment. Geometric or arched windows – common in the Boca Raton neighborhoods built in the 1990s Mediterranean revival style – require custom fabrication and add 30% to 60% over a comparable rectangular unit.
- Second-story and high-rise access: Homes in areas like Boca Raton’s east side near the water often have second or third floors where scaffolding or lift equipment is needed. Condo units above the fifth floor require coordination with HOA freight elevators and common-area scheduling. These access factors can add $50 to $150 per window over a standard ground-floor installation. We work regularly in Boca’s high-rise communities and know the HOA approval process – it adds scheduling time but isn’t a cost surprise when you know it upfront.
- Existing frame condition and rough-opening repair: If the current windows show signs of water infiltration – and in Boca Raton’s driving-rain environment, this is more common than people expect – the surrounding framing or buck may need repair or replacement before new windows go in. Rotted wood framing costs $150 to $350 per opening to address. We document this before starting and price it into the written quote, so it doesn’t show up as a surprise line item afterward.
- HOA approval and architectural review: Many Boca Raton communities – from Woodfield Country Club to Boca Pointe to Boca Del Mar – have architectural review committees that must approve window style, frame color, and glass tint before installation. This process doesn’t cost extra in materials, but it does affect scheduling. We help our customers prepare the product specifications and NOA documentation that most HOA committees require, which cuts approval time significantly.
- Brand and product tier: There’s a real price difference between the brands we install, and it’s not arbitrary. PGT WinGuard and CGI Guardian represent the established South Florida impact window standard – well-proven, widely accepted by insurers, and mid-range in price. ECO Window Systems and ES Windows offer strong value at a slightly lower price point. CWS and ViewLux move toward the premium end with tighter tolerances and more custom configurations. Ed Winslow can walk you through which product tier makes sense for your specific home and budget without pushing you toward the highest margin option.
How to Save on Window Replacement in Boca Raton
The single best way to save money on a Full Frame Replacement isn’t finding the lowest bid – it’s getting an accurate, itemized quote before committing to anything. Vague estimates that lump everything into one number almost always hide costs that surface later. Ask every contractor to break out product cost, labor, permit fees, and any anticipated rough-opening work. If they won’t do that in writing, that’s your answer.
Here are the strategies that actually work in the Boca Raton market:
- Replace all windows in one project: The labor cost per window drops when a crew is already at your home and mobilized. Going from 8 windows to 14 windows might add $3,000 to $4,000 in product cost but save $800 to $1,200 in labor compared to splitting the job. One permit, one inspection, one crew mobilization.
- Time your project outside peak season: South Florida’s window replacement market gets busy in late spring as hurricane season approaches and again in the fall after a storm event. Scheduling in winter – November through February – often means shorter lead times, faster permit turnaround from the city, and occasionally better product availability from distributors.
- Check your homeowner’s insurance: Florida law gives homeowners certain rights around wind mitigation credits. New impact windows on a home built before 2002 can produce insurance premium reductions of $300 to $800 per year in the Boca Raton area, depending on your insurer and coverage level. Over 10 years, that’s a real offset against the replacement cost.
- Ask about manufacturer rebates: PGT, CGI, and ECO Window Systems periodically offer installer rebates on specific product lines. As authorized installers, we pass these through to customers when they’re available. They’re not always running, but it’s worth asking when you call.
- Get a second opinion on any written estimate: If you’ve already received a written quote from another contractor and it feels high or unclear, Winslow offers free second opinions on written estimates – no charge, no obligation. We’ll review the scope, flag anything that looks off, and give you a straight comparison. Call us at (561) 816-5648 and we’ll set it up, often the same week.
- Ask about senior and veteran discounts: We offer a permanent 10% discount for seniors and veterans. It’s not a promotion with an expiration date – it’s a standing commitment. If that applies to you, mention it when you call.
If you want an accurate number for your specific home in Boca Raton, call (561) 816-5648 and a live person will answer – not a machine, not an answering service. We offer free, no-trip-charge estimates with itemized pricing so you know exactly what you’re agreeing to before anyone picks up a tool.

FAQs – Window Replacement Cost in Boca Raton
How much does it cost to replace a single window in Boca Raton?
Replacing one impact window in Boca Raton typically costs $550 to $1,400 installed, depending on size, type, and frame material. A standard impact single-hung in a ground-floor opening runs toward the lower end; a large impact casement or custom-shape window runs toward the upper end. Insert Window Replacement jobs also don’t benefit from the per-unit labor savings that come with multi-window projects, so the per-window cost is usually higher than it would be on a full replacement. Call (561) 816-5648 for an exact quote – estimates are free and there’s no trip charge.
Are impact windows required in Boca Raton?
Yes, effectively. Boca Raton falls under the Florida Building Code’s High-Velocity Hurricane Zone (HVHZ) designation, which requires that any new or replacement window provide impact protection or be paired with an approved protection system like accordion shutters. Most homeowners choose impact windows outright because they eliminate the need to deploy shutters before every storm and because many insurers require them for the best wind mitigation credits. All eight brands we install – including PGT, CGI, and ECO Window Systems – carry Miami-Dade NOA approval and meet HVHZ requirements.
Is it cheaper to repair or replace windows in Boca Raton?
Repair is cheaper in the short term when the damage is limited to a broken seal, failed hardware, or a cracked pane in an otherwise sound impact window. Seal replacement on a single unit runs $150 to $350 and buys meaningful additional life. But if the frame is compromised, the glass has delaminated (the interlayer in impact glass can fail over time, especially near salt air), or the window is more than 15 to 20 years old, replacement is usually the better investment. An older window that fails a wind mitigation inspection costs you more in insurance than a new one saves you in upfront repair bills. We’ll tell you honestly which way to go when we look at it. Call (561) 816-5648 to schedule a free assessment.
How long does window replacement take in Boca Raton?
Most full-house window replacements in Boca Raton take one to three days of installation time, once the permit is issued. The permit process with the City of Boca Raton typically runs two to four weeks for a standard residential project, though this varies. Product lead time from manufacturers like PGT and CGI currently runs three to six weeks for standard configurations, longer for custom sizes. Realistically, from signed contract to completed installation, budget six to ten weeks. We handle the permit application and keep you updated at each stage so you’re not left guessing.
What’s included in a window replacement quote from Winslow Windows & Doors?
Every written estimate from Winslow Windows & Doors itemizes product cost, labor, permit fees, and haul-away of old windows – there are no vague line items that balloon at the end. If we anticipate rough-opening work or framing repair based on what we see during the estimate, we include that too. Upfront pricing isn’t a slogan – it’s how we’ve operated since Ed Winslow started this business in 2011, because surprises on the invoice are how you lose customers and reputation. Our estimates are free, cover the full scope of work, and come with no obligation. Call (561) 816-5648 to schedule yours.
Does Winslow Windows & Doors offer financing for window replacement?
Window replacement is a significant investment, and we understand that a $12,000 or $15,000 project isn’t always something homeowners want to pay all at once. Ask us about financing options when you call – we can walk you through what’s available and how it applies to your specific project. The 10% senior and veteran discount applies regardless of how you choose to pay.
What brands of impact windows does Winslow install in Boca Raton?
We’re authorized installers for eight brands: PGT, CGI, CWS, ES Windows, ECO Window Systems, Mr-Glass, Therma-Tru, and ViewLux. For most Boca Raton homeowners, the choice comes down to PGT WinGuard, CGI Guardian, or ECO Window Systems based on budget, window configuration, and HOA color requirements. Ed Winslow can match you to the right product for your home’s specific needs – not the one with the biggest installer margin.
Why Boca Raton Homeowners Choose Winslow Windows & Doors
There’s no shortage of window companies willing to give you a quote in Boca Raton. The difference with Winslow comes down to a few things that actually matter when the job is done and you’re living with the result.
Ed Winslow founded this company in 2011, and his name is literally on the door. When something isn’t right, you’re not filing a ticket with a regional call center – you’re calling the same number you always have, and a live person answers, around the clock.

That’s a commitment, not a marketing phrase. And because we only install brands we stand behind – PGT, CGI, ECO Window Systems, and five others – we don’t have to guess about product quality after the job is done.
Every technician who comes to your home in Boca Raton is background-checked and arrives in uniform. You know who’s at your door before the truck pulls up – we send that information ahead. On a day when you’re having strangers work in and around your home, that matters.
We’ve done work across Boca Raton’s neighborhoods – Woodfield, Boca West, Broken Sound, Via Mizner, the barrier island homes on A1A, mid-century ranches near Glades Road, and newer construction east of Federal Highway. Every one of those projects carries the same promise: upfront pricing, permitted work, and a finished job that holds up under South Florida weather.

What Our Customers Say
"Someone tried the back slider while we were away. The glass crazed and held, the alarm never had to earn its keep, and the police report reads better than it might have. Ed came out the next morning to check the frame himself."
- Cornelius Adeyemi"We sat out a hurricane behind the windows Ed put in. The gusts threw a neighbour's trampoline down the street and the loudest thing in our house was the kettle. I rang him after to say thank you and he answered his own phone, same as always."
- Thaddeus Okonkwo"Three big companies quoted us and every one sent a salesman with a leased truck. Ed turned up in a truck with his own name on the door, quoted less, and his crew were the same faces on day one and day nine."
