Why TruePane Windows & Doors Is Ocean Ridge’s Preferred Window Installation Company

We’ve been doing Window Installation on this barrier island long enough to know what the salt does to an aluminum frame in ten years. Ocean Ridge is not Boynton Beach across the bridge. It’s not Delray. Every home here sits between two bodies of salt water, and that changes what belongs in the rough opening. We’ve replaced “modern” windows installed in 2012 that looked fine from the street but had fasteners corroded to dust inside the frame pockets. That’s the job.

Dale Kessler founded TruePane in 2008 on a rule that still hangs in the shop: if the pane is not true, the job is not done. We’re not a franchise crew rotating through from a regional office. Our technicians are background-checked, uniformed, and trained as apprentices before they ever touch a customer’s home. When you call Ocean Ridge, a live person answers. Not a voicemail tree. Not a callback form. That matters when a storm is three days out and your sash won’t close.

We’ve built our reputation in Ocean Ridge one opening at a time. The Done Right Promise means what it says. If the work isn’t right, we fix it. No paperwork fights, no arguing about scope. And The Keystone Standard goes further: both manufacturer warranty layers get registered in writing before the truck leaves your driveway, with durations stated on the invoice. Call (561) 264-1337 and you’ll speak to someone who knows the difference between a Harbour Drive North oceanfront and a Ridge Boulevard interior lot.

Our Window Installation Services in Ocean Ridge

We install and replace every window type you’ll find on the island, but three jobs dominate our Ocean Ridge workload. Here’s what those look like in real terms.

Fixed & Picture Windows

Oceanfront and Intracoastal-facing lots in Ocean Ridge want glass, and lots of it. Fixed and picture windows carry the view, but they also carry the full wind load off the Atlantic with zero structural break. In Ocean Ridge, a picture window is not a passive opening. It’s the largest piece of your home’s wind-borne debris defense. We frame these with marine-grade or fully clad systems, set them in stainless hardware, and flash them so salt spray never finds the rough opening. A typical fixed picture window replacement in Ocean Ridge runs $1,200-$3,800 installed, more for oversized custom glass.

Casement Windows

Casement windows are popular in Ocean Ridge because they seal tighter than double-hungs against wind-driven rain. The crank mechanism, though, is exactly where salt air does its damage. We’ve replaced countless casement operators on the island that seized within five to seven years because the original hardware was plated steel, not stainless. When we install casements here, every operator, hinge, and locking point gets upgraded to corrosion-resistant components. Casement replacements in Ocean Ridge typically run $900-$2,600 per window depending on size and impact rating.

Sliding Windows

Sliding windows make sense on the water. They don’t protrude into a walkway, and they let the breeze through when the afternoon trade winds shift. But the track is a salt trap. In Ocean Ridge, the lower track of a sliding window collects sea air, condensation, and fine sand, and if the weep holes are clogged or corroded, the track holds water. That water eats the frame from the inside. We tear out and replace sliding units with full marine-grade frames and stainless rollers, and we re-set the flashing so the rough opening stays dry. Expect $850-$2,200 per opening in Ocean Ridge.

Single & Double Hung

Older Ocean Ridge homes, especially the mid-century ranch stock, were built with single and double hung aluminum windows that are now decades past their useful life. The springs weaken, the balances bind, and the sash won’t stay up. Replacing these with impact-rated double-hungs restores functionality and brings the home up to current Florida Building Code high-wind standards. Double hung replacements in Ocean Ridge run $700-$1,800 per window for standard sizes, more for custom jamb depths on older homes.

Trusted Brands We Service in Ocean Ridge

We’re an authorized installer for more than a dozen manufacturer lines, and the ones that carry our Ocean Ridge workload are PGT, CGI, and ES Windows. These are marine-grade and impact-rated systems built for exactly the corrosion environment this island throws at a window frame. We quote manufacturer lines side by side on paper so you see the actual difference, not a sales pitch. If you have existing PGT or CGI product on an Ocean Ridge home and need service, we handle warranty work and replacement parts through the manufacturer channels without making you chase paperwork.

Common Window Installation Problems We See in Ocean Ridge Homes

• Fog between the panes from failed insulated glass seals. The argon fill escapes, the low-E coating starts degrading within weeks, and the glass loses most of its insulating value. In Ocean Ridge, the constant temperature swing between conditioned interiors and salt-humid exteriors accelerates seal failure on older double-pane units.
• Corroded weep holes and seized hardware on aluminum frames. Salt air from both the Atlantic and the Intracoastal binds sashes so tightly that homeowners can no longer open the window before a storm. We see this on frames installed as recently as 2012 on exposed oceanfront elevations.
• Rotting sill pockets and failed flashing tape behind bottom flanges. Years of wind-driven salt spray creeps past the original seal, leaving the rough opening spongy and the window code-noncompliant for high-wind impact. This is a full frame-out repair, not a caulk job.
• Split fused corners on original aluminum frames. On older Ocean Ridge homes, the corner welds on single-pane aluminum frames crack after decades of thermal cycling and salt attack, opening voids that drain water into the wall cavity. We find this constantly on Harbour Drive North and the older ridge lots.

How Long Does Window Installation Take in Ocean Ridge?

Simple replacements on standard-size openings can often be completed in a single visit. Custom windows are different. On this island, lead times drive the calendar, not labor. If you’re ordering Marvin or ES Windows with specific glass packages, expect 8-16 weeks from order to install. Oceanfront homes with architect-specified finishes and oversized units can run longer. We order nothing until you’ve approved the line-item quote in writing, and we register both warranty layers the day the order goes in. Then we schedule installation and hold to it. If you need windows before hurricane season, call us in January, not June.

FAQs - Window Installation in Ocean Ridge

Salt Air Does Not Wait. Neither Should Your Windows.

Every month you wait on corroded frames is another month of salt working its way deeper into the rough opening. Ocean Ridge homes do not forgive deferred maintenance. The fogged glass, the sash that won’t close, the sill that feels soft underfoot: these are not cosmetic issues. They are the early warning signs of a full frame-out repair that gets more expensive the longer it waits.

Call (561) 264-1337 for a free, no-pressure estimate. We’ll come out, measure every opening, and put a written line-item quote in your hand. Both warranty layers registered in writing before the truck leaves. The Done Right Promise on every job. And a live person answers the phone, 24/7. That’s the standard. Not a sales tactic.
