AfterFast, Reliable Impact Windows Across Greenacres
Impact window replacement in Greenacres typically runs $800 to $1,500 per window installed, with whole-home packages starting around $8,000. You need a Florida Product Approval (FL#) rating here, not the pricier Miami-Dade NOA, because Greenacres sits in Palm Beach County’s wind-borne debris region but outside the High Velocity Hurricane Zone. That one code fact changes what you should pay, what you should buy, and what a legitimate permit looks like. Call (561) 468-6136 and Ed Winslow will walk you through it himself, because his name is on every job we do.
Why Winslow Windows & Doors Is Greenacres’s Preferred Impact Windows Company
We’ve been doing Impact Windows work in Palm Beach County since 2011, and Greenacres has its own rhythm. The tract homes here, most built between the late 1960s and early 1990s, tell a story the moment we pull a window. Corroded aluminum frames, pitted jambs, single-pane glass that fogs from decades of humidity. Ed Winslow founded this company on a simple promise: if it’s not done right, we make it right. That’s the Done Right Promise, and it covers your windows long after the inspection passes.
When you call our office at (561) 468-6136, a live person answers. Not a call center, not a voicemail loop. You’ll talk to someone who knows what a jalousie window is and why Palm Beach County won’t let you keep it. We publish our address and license number because we want you to know exactly who’s showing up to your door near Jog Road or 10th Avenue North. Every technician is background-checked and in uniform before the truck pulls up.
Greenacres homeowners call us because we tell them the truth about what their house needs, even when that truth means more work than a cheaper quote promised. A neighbor you can call at 2 a.m., and someone will actually answer.
Our Impact Windows Services in Greenacres
Most of what we do in Greenacres is full-frame tear-out replacement, because the original aluminum frames here have simply reached the end of their life. Here’s what that looks like in practice.
Impact Window Replacement
Full-frame replacement is the standard job in Greenacres, not the exception. The CBS concrete block homes that dominate the city were built with single-pane aluminum sliders, and 40 to 50 years of South Florida humidity has corroded those frames beyond what an insert pocket install can salvage. We remove the entire old unit down to the rough opening, replace any damaged jamb material, and install a new impact-rated window with a Florida Product Approval number. That’s what closes a permit in Greenacres.
Jalousie Window Removal and Replacement
If your Greenacres home still has louvered jalousie windows in the bathroom, utility room, or Florida room, they have to go. Not because we want to sell you more windows, but because Palm Beach County will not close a permit application that leaves them in place. Jalousie units are functionally impossible to make hurricane-compliant. We remove them and install a fixed or operable impact-rated unit that actually seals against wind-driven rain.
Single-Hung and Casement Impact Windows
For bedrooms and living areas, Greenacres homeowners usually choose between impact single-hung and impact casement windows. Single-hung runs $900 to $1,800 per opening installed and keeps a familiar look. Casements cost a bit more but seal tighter against wind pressure, which matters on the south- and west-facing elevations that take the brunt of Palm Beach County storms. Both carry the FL# rating your permit requires.
Whole-Home Impact Packages
When you’re replacing every opening, we treat it as a system, not a collection of windows. A whole-home package in Greenacres typically runs $8,000 to $25,000 or more depending on opening count, floor height, and frame material. We measure every opening, match design pressures to your wind zone, and give you a written line-item quote before any work starts. Upfront pricing, no surprises on the invoice.

Trusted Brands We Service in Greenacres
We’re an authorized installer for PGT, CGI, and CWS, and we stock local parts in our Florida warehouse so Greenacres customers aren’t waiting on a shipment from out of state. PGT’s WinGuard line is the most common choice here, priced well and carrying the Florida Product Approval numbers Greenacres permits demand. CGI and CWS both make excellent aluminum and vinyl impact lines when you want a specific frame profile or finish. We match the product to your opening, your wind zone, and your budget, and we never sell a window we wouldn’t put in Ed’s own house.
Common Impact Windows Problems We See in Greenacres Homes
Greenacres has a specific housing profile, and it creates specific failure patterns. Here’s what we see most often.
- Corroded aluminum frames on 1970s and 1980s CBS homes. Decades of humidity and UV exposure pit the aluminum, especially on south-facing elevations. The old sash literally wiggles in wind gusts, and the glazing seals fail so the glass fogs permanently.
- Unpermitted non-impact replacements from years past. Some previous owner installed insulated glass without a Florida Product Approval because Greenacres is outside Miami-Dade. The permit can’t close, and the window wouldn’t hold up in a real storm anyway.
- Jalousie windows still in place on permit applications. This is the single biggest reason Greenacres permits stall. Palm Beach County rejects the application outright when louvered glass remains, and homeowners are blindsided mid-project.
- Failed insert pocket installs over corroded jambs. A contractor tries to save money by reusing the old aluminum frame, and the new sash never seals. During a storm, wind-driven water finds its way inside. Full-frame replacement is the only fix that lasts in this climate.
Pricing for Impact Windows in Greenacres, FL
Impact windows in Greenacres run $800 to $1,500 per window installed for standard openings. Single-hung units run $900 to $1,800. Large or custom openings, picture windows, and radius tops can push $2,500 to $5,000 each. Whole-home packages on the typical three-bedroom CBS ranch here run $8,000 to $25,000 or more. What moves the price is opening count, floor height (second-story work costs more), frame material (vinyl is usually less than aluminum), and whether you’re doing a full-frame tear-out or a rare insert install. The good news for Greenacres homeowners: you don’t need Miami-Dade NOA products here, which keeps pricing lower than in Broward or Dade.

What Impact Windows Costs in Greenacres

Large or custom openings run $2,500 to $5,000. Whole-home packages start around $8,000 and can exceed $25,000 on larger homes or higher-end frame materials.

The free in-home measure and written quote is how we give you an exact number instead of a ballpark. Call (561) 468-6136 and we’ll schedule it.
Florida Pays You Back
Greenacres homeowners have real incentives available, and they stack. The My Safe Florida Home program offers matching grants up to $10,000 for qualifying wind-mitigation upgrades, which impact windows absolutely are. Florida also exempts impact-resistant windows and doors from sales tax. On the federal side, the 25C energy credit covers 30% of product cost up to $600 per year on qualifying efficient units. After installation, a wind-mitigation inspection ($75 to $150) can document your upgrades and often reduces the windstorm portion of your homeowners premium by around 25%. We can’t guarantee what your carrier will credit, but we’ll give you the documentation they ask for. Programs set the final numbers, not us, and some funds run out, so it’s worth checking current availability before you schedule.
One thing worth weighing before you decide: impact windows versus hurricane shutters. Shutters cost less upfront, but someone has to put them up before every storm, and if you’re not home when the warning comes, they do nothing. Impact windows are always working. No panels, no prep, no panic at 11 p.m. when a storm shifts toward Palm Beach County. For most Greenacres homeowners, permanent protection wins.

FAQs - Impact Windows in Greenacres
Florida Product Approval (FL#) is sufficient in Greenacres. The city sits in Palm Beach County’s wind-borne debris region but is outside the High Velocity Hurricane Zone, which covers only Miami-Dade and Broward counties. That means you don’t need to pay for the stricter and more expensive Miami-Dade NOA products required one county south. Your windows still need a Florida Product Approval number for impact resistance, and the permit still has to close, but the product cost is lower than it would be in Broward. Call (561) 468-6136 and we’ll verify the product numbers before you buy.
No. Palm Beach County will not close a permit on a home that still has jalousie louvered windows in place, even if you’re adding hurricane shutters. The jalousie units must be fully removed and replaced with impact-rated windows or a permitted fixed impact unit before the permit application will be approved. This is the most common surprise Greenacres homeowners hit mid-project, and it’s why we flag it on every estimate. Call (561) 468-6136 if you’re unsure what’s on your house now.
Greenacres code requires impact-rated openings that meet the design wind pressures for Palm Beach County’s wind-borne debris region, typically in the +/- 40 to +/- 70 psf range depending on your specific lot, elevation, and opening size. The exact design pressure gets calculated per opening, not applied as a blanket number across the house. We match every window to its opening’s required design pressure and the Florida Product Approval documents to back it up. That’s what inspectors look for, and what a cheap quote skips.
Yes, in most cases. After installation, a wind-mitigation inspection documents your impact-rated openings, and the windstorm portion of your premium typically drops by around 25%. The inspection runs $75 to $150, and we provide the documentation your carrier asks for. The final credit amount is up to your insurance company, not us, but the impact windows themselves are exactly what the inspection looks for. Call (561) 468-6136 and we’ll walk you through what to request after the job’s done.
Because impact windows are structural storm protection, not a cosmetic swap. Palm Beach County requires a permit to verify that the products carry a Florida Product Approval number, that the design pressures match the openings, and that the installation meets code for wind-borne debris protection. An unpermitted install fails final inspection if it’s caught, and it can complicate a future insurance claim or sale. We pull permits on every job, and inspections are part of our standard process. Call (561) 468-6136 for an estimate that includes the permit work, not one that hides it.
Off Pinehurst Road, our crew tore out seven corroded original single-pane aluminum sliders from a 1982 CBS home and installed PGT impact-rated casements with laminated glass interlayers and insulated glass units rated to the county’s design pressure. The exterior south-facing jamb pockets had pitted so badly the old sash wiggled in wind gusts. After full-frame replacement and Low-E glass, the homeowner’s wind mitigation inspection passed first try, and the jalousie unit in the utility room finally came out for a permitted fixed impact window.
That’s the job, done the way Greenacres requires it. Impact-rated. Energy-certified. Done right the first time, or we come back.
