The Palm Beach Gardens window market — what you should know
Neighborhoods + housing stock
PBG's premier addresses are golf community estates — Mirasol, BallenIsles, PGA National, Frenchman's Reserve, Old Marsh — plus newer Alton and the older eastern PBG near US-1.
What you're working with structurally
PBG's golf-community homes are upscale Mediterranean and contemporary with concrete or clay tile, large footprints (3,000+ sqft typical), and elaborate hurricane protection from the original build.
Storm history shaping today's window market
Frances 2004 and Wilma 2005 hit PBG — Frances especially hard because the storm parked over PBG for hours. The golf-community boards executed coordinated tile-roof inspections in 2006–2007 that caught widespread underlayment failures.
The insurance reality in Palm Beach Gardens
PBG's golf-community housing is highly insurable — large, well-maintained, code-compliant. Premiums are high but availability is good. The older eastern PBG along US-1 has more carrier difficulty.
What Palm Beach Gardens owners are actually installing
PBG owners typically pursue full premium-package roofing: clay tile or standing-seam metal, copper flashing, full SWB underlayment, and matching impact-rated skylights. Total job costs routinely run $60K–$120K+.
One local quirk to budget for
Several PBG golf-community HOAs maintain master-design guidelines that lock in specific tile profiles and colors. Verify HOA approval before ordering material — non-conforming tile cannot be returned in most contracts.
