Our Window Replacement Services in Greenacres
Full Frame Replacement
Most Greenacres homes need full frame replacement rather than inserts. The original aluminum frames from the 70s, 80s, and early 90s are corroded, bent, or simply not rated for the wind speeds this part of Palm Beach County sees. Full frame replacement removes everything down to the concrete block, lets us correct any water intrusion at the rough opening, and gives you a properly flashed, Florida Product Approved installation. On oversized CBS openings, we use custom backer framing so the new impact unit seats correctly without voiding its approval.
Insert Window Replacement
For Greenacres homeowners whose existing frames are square and sound, insert replacement windows fit inside the current opening with less disruption to interior trim and stucco. This works well on homes where only a few windows were flagged by an insurer and the openings were built closer to standard sizing. We’ll tell you honestly whether inserts are viable for your specific home or whether full frame is the smarter long-term call. And if you already have a written estimate from another company, bring it in. We’ll give you a free second opinion.
Vinyl Replacement Windows
Vinyl remains the most practical choice for many Greenacres homes, especially single-story CBS ranches where budget and performance need to meet in the middle. Today’s vinyl impact units carry design pressure ratings that older aluminum frames simply don’t, and they hold up far better against Palm Beach County’s sun, humidity, and salt-laced air. We install vinyl replacement windows with reinforced meeting rails and stainless hardware, sized to your actual rough opening, not the closest stock size.
Energy-Efficient Upgrade
Greenacres sits 7 to 10 miles inland, which means the Atlantic breeze is weaker here and the afternoon sun hits hard. Upgrading from single-pane aluminum to impact-rated insulated glass with Low-E coating cuts solar heat gain through the glass itself. Our customers near Greenacres Elementary and the homes along Haverhill Road consistently tell us their cooling load drops noticeably after replacement, especially in west-facing rooms. We’ll match the right glass package to each elevation of your home, because a south-facing window and a north-facing window aren’t doing the same job. Learn more about our Window Replacement process.

Common Window Replacement Problems We See in Greenacres Homes
- Original single-pane aluminum sliders and jalousies flagging insurer non-renewal. These pre-1992 units don’t meet current wind-load requirements, and Palm Beach County insurers have been aggressively sending non-renewal notices on them. Replacement is the fix.
- Oversized openings that don’t match any off-the-shelf impact unit. Greenacres CBS homes were framed for big aluminum sliders, not modern impact products. A stock unit forced into that opening voids the Florida Product Approval and gets red-tagged at inspection.
- Corroded or missing flashing at the rough opening. Four decades of Florida rain and humidity rot the original flashing on many Greenacres homes. Skipping full frame replacement hides the damage behind new trim until water shows up inside.
- Failed wind mitigation inspections from non-rated glass substitutions. When a homeowner or a handyman installs insulated glass without an impact rating, the wind mitigation inspector rejects it. The insurer keeps the non-renewal in place, and the homeowner pays twice.
Pricing for Window Replacement in Greenacres, FL
A typical impact window in Greenacres runs $800 to $1,500 per window installed. Impact single-hung units land between $900 and $1,800. Large or custom openings, the kind common on 1980s CBS homes with oversized sliders, run $2,500 to $5,000 each. Whole-home packages span roughly $8,000 to $25,000 or more depending on opening count, frame material, and glass package. What moves the price most in Greenacres is opening size and shape: older homes rarely have standard openings, which means custom fabrication and backer framing, which cost more than a drop-in. We give free in-home measures and written line-item quotes before any order is placed. Call (561) 816-5648 to schedule yours. Serving Window Replacement in Greenacres and nearby neighborhoods.
What Window Replacement Costs in Greenacres
Beyond the per-window numbers, whole-home pricing in Greenacres tracks tightly with the age of your CBS structure and the condition of the rough openings. A 1970s ranch with ten original sliders will typically come in on the lower end of the $8,000 to $25,000 range when openings are close to standard and no structural rot is found. A two-story with oversized jalousie banks and corroded lintels will push higher. Frame material matters too: vinyl is the economy anchor, aluminum offers slimmer sightlines, and impact-rated wood or fiberglass fills the high end. Our fixed written quote locks the price before we order, and permits and inspections are included.
Florida Pays You Back
The incentive stack for Greenacres homeowners is worth knowing before you budget. My Safe Florida Home offers matching grants up to $10,000 for qualifying wind-mitigation upgrades, and impact windows and doors are squarely within that scope. Florida also exempts impact-resistant windows and doors from sales tax. On the federal side, the 25C energy credit returns 30% of product cost up to $600 per year on qualifying energy-efficient units, which many Low-E impact packages meet. After installation and a wind-mitigation inspection (typically $75 to $150), most Greenacres homeowners see windstorm premium credits averaging around 25% on the windstorm portion of their policy. Programs and carriers set the final numbers, but these are real, current incentives.

FAQs - Window Replacement in Greenacres
Florida Product Approval is sufficient in Greenacres. The city sits outside the High Velocity Hurricane Zone that mandates Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance, so you do not need NOA-rated units. That said, the design wind speeds for this part of Palm Beach County still exceed 140 mph, which means every opening still needs a properly rated impact product or approved panel protection. We spec Florida Product Approved units matched to your opening’s design pressure, which keeps you code-compliant without paying a premium for a rating you don’t need. Call (561) 816-5648 and we’ll confirm what your specific openings require.
Because your windows predate Hurricane Andrew. Greenacres is concentrated with pre-1992 concrete block homes whose original single-pane aluminum sliders and jalousies don’t meet current wind-load requirements. Insurers are aggressively non-renewing policies on these homes, and impact-rated replacement is the standard fix. Once the units are installed and a wind-mitigation inspection is completed, most carriers restore or rewrite the policy, often with a windstorm premium credit. We’ve handled this exact situation for dozens of Greenacres homeowners near Jog Road, Lake Worth Road, and Melaleuca Lane. Call (561) 816-5648 to start with a free measure.
It adds a required rough-in inspection before any window or door is set in the opening. Palm Beach County’s building department requires this first stage, then a final inspection after installation. Crews that skip the rough-in get red-tagged, and the homeowner is left with open or boarded openings for days during hurricane season. We schedule both inspections in sequence as part of the job, and we won’t remove more windows than we can close up same-day. Once your units arrive, installation on most homes is completed in as fast as a single day. Custom fabrication runs 4 to 6 weeks.
Yes, and the difference is measurable. Your original single-pane aluminum frames transfer heat almost directly, and in Greenacres’s inland location, the afternoon sun is relentless. Impact-rated insulated glass with Low-E coating cuts that solar gain at the glass, which reduces how hard your AC has to run. Homes with significant west-facing exposure see the biggest drop. How much you save depends on how many windows you replace and your system’s age, but the energy credit and the cooling reduction together make the upgrade pay back faster than most homeowners expect.

Yes. Jalousie windows are a signature of older Greenacres homes, and they’re also the least impact-resistant opening you can have. We remove the entire jalousie frame down to the concrete block, rebuild the rough opening with custom backer framing, and set a properly rated impact casement or fixed unit sized to the new opening. The Florida Product Approval is valid because the unit matches the actual opening dimensions. We recently did exactly this on a 1980s CBS home near Jog Road and 10th Avenue North, replacing original aluminum sliders with PGT impact casements and a Therma-Tru fiberglass entry door after the homeowners got a non-renewal notice. Final inspection passed in one cycle and they received their wind mitigation credit.
Window Replacement in Greenacres: Built Around High-End Work
On higher-end projects in Greenacres, the calendar is set by lead times, not labor. Custom millwork, architectural glass, specialty finishes, designer and architect coordination, and long-lead items from manufacturers like ES Windows and ECO Window Systems all run 4 to 6 weeks from order to delivery. We’re candid about that up front, because the price is fixed in writing before we order and the schedule should match reality. Where some companies promise a date and then scramble, we tell you the fabrication window honestly and keep the openings weathertight until the units arrive. The result is a cleaner install, a valid Product Approval, and no surprises on the invoice.
Impact windows beat hurricane shutters for most Greenacres homeowners because the protection is permanent. There are no panels to haul out of the garage at 2 a.m., no tracks to maintain, no family member who can’t lift the 40-pound corrugated sheet. The window itself takes the hit, stays intact, and keeps the envelope sealed. Shutters also do nothing for your daily energy costs. An impact-rated insulated unit works 365 days a year, not just during a named storm.
Ed’s name is on the door, and on every job we do. If it’s not done right, we come back. That’s the 36500-Day Done Right Promise, and it’s been the standard since 2011.
