Boral Windows & Doors: The West Palm Beach Owner’s Guide
We stock and install Boral-compatible windows and doors across West Palm Beach, with most replacement units priced between $450 and $1,200 per opening installed, depending on size, series, and whether the frame needs reframing. Most Boral parts we carry on the truck, and we can typically measure, quote, and schedule within a single visit. Homeowners usually discover a problem when the sash won’t stay open, they feel a draft along the meeting rail, or they spot delamination at the bottom of the frame after a heavy rain.
Which Boral Models This Applies To
Boral’s window and door catalog spans several series, and the part you need depends on which generation of product is in your wall. The Boral 3000 Series vinyl single-hung, common in West Palm Beach builds from 2012 to 2019, uses a 5/8-inch tilt latch that differs from the 3/4-inch version found in the 5000 Series double-hung. The Boral sliding patio door, particularly the PD-200 and PD-400 lines, shares roller assemblies across both models but uses distinct screen track profiles that are not interchangeable. To identify your unit, check the etched code in the glass corner or the sticker on the frame head; if that’s gone, measure the sash thickness and the visible glass dimensions.
We source OEM Boral parts where they’re still in production, and where Boral has discontinued a component, we spec an aftermarket equivalent that matches the original durometer, wall thickness, and UV rating. The decision between OEM and aftermarket isn’t about cutting corners; it’s about whether the factory part still exists. In West Palm Beach’s UV exposure and salt-air environment, we’ve seen aftermarket weatherstrip hold up as well as original equipment when it’s spec’d to the same ASTM standards.
Signs Your Boral Windows & Doors Is Failing

- Sash drops or won’t stay open. The balance system, typically a block-and-tackle or constant-force spring, has lost tension. In West Palm Beach, we see this accelerate when homeowners run the AC hard and the temperature differential across the glass stresses the mechanism.
- Draft at the meeting rail or sill. The weatherstrip has compressed or the sill track has worn, creating a gap. Boral’s original pile weatherstrip in the 3000 Series was a medium-density fin seal that degrades faster in Florida humidity than in drier climates.
- Condensation between glass panes. The insulated glass unit (IGU) seal has failed, allowing moist air into the space between lites. Once the desiccant saturates, the fogging becomes permanent and the thermal performance drops to that of single-pane glass.
- Frame swelling or delamination at the sill. Water intrusion at the weep holes or behind the exterior trim has compromised the substrate. In West Palm Beach, we regularly see this on east-facing elevations where wind-driven rain overwhelms poorly maintained caulking.
- Difficulty latching or locking. The keep or strike plate has shifted, or the multipoint hardware has corroded. Salt air accelerates this; we’ve replaced Boral multipoint locks on oceanfront properties in five years that should have lasted fifteen.

AfterReplacement Cost & What’s Included
For a full Boral window replacement in West Palm Beach, our installed range runs $450-$1,200 per opening for standard sizes, with larger picture windows or custom shapes moving toward the top of that band. A Boral sliding patio door replacement typically falls between $1,800 and $3,500 installed, depending on whether we’re working within an existing frame or reframing for a new size. The price includes removal and disposal of the old unit, installation of the new window or door with proper flashing and sealant, interior and exterior trim repair or replacement, and cleanup. We pull permits when required by Palm Beach County, and every job carries our 365-Day Done Right Promise under The Haven Standard. Under Clause 1, the price is written before anyone starts; no change proceeds without a signed change order.
DIY or Call Us?

There’s a safe middle ground here. A homeowner can check the weep holes for debris, verify the lock engages cleanly, and confirm the weatherstrip is seated in its groove without removing anything. What we don’t recommend is removing a Boral sash or attempting to replace an IGU yourself. The balance systems are under tension, and a sash dropped from height can cause serious injury; the IGUs are sized to a 1/16-inch tolerance that a tape measure won’t reliably hit. We’ve been called to West Palm Beach homes where a DIY attempt turned a $600 repair into a $2,400 full-unit replacement because the frame was damaged during removal. If you’re unsure, call us at (561) 475-3903 and we’ll look at it. The estimate is free, and the price we write is the price you pay.
FAQs
Vinyl Boral units typically last 15 to 20 years in South Florida’s climate, though we’ve seen the weatherstrip need replacement at year 8 and the balance system at year 12 on properties near the Intracoastal where salt air is heaviest. Call (561) 475-3903 for an exact quote on your unit - estimates are free.
Often, yes. Sash balances, weatherstrip, locks, and IGUs can be replaced independently if the frame is square and the exterior cladding is intact. We assess this on every visit and will tell you honestly when repair stops making sense. Call (561) 475-3903 to schedule a look.
A standard single window takes 2 to 4 hours; a patio door replacement typically requires a full day including trim work. We don’t promise same-day installation on planned replacements because proper flashing and sealant curing can’t be rushed, and we won’t skip steps that protect your wall cavity. Call (561) 475-3903 to book a measurement and get a written timeline.
We carry common Boral hardware - tilt latches, balances, rollers, and weatherstrip profiles - for the 3000 and 5000 Series, plus standard IGU sizes. For discontinued Boral components or custom glass, we order with a 5 to 10 business day lead time and track the shipment so we’re ready when it arrives. Call (561) 475-3903 to confirm availability for your specific model.
