Palm Bay Window Replacement provides professional wood and clad-wood windows in Palm Bay, FL for residential and commercial properties across south Brevard County. Clad wood is beautiful and, within a mile of the Indian River Lagoon, it is usually a mistake. We install it, we install it properly, and we tell Palm Bay clients honestly which houses it belongs in and which houses will punish them for it.
The construction is a wood interior sash and frame with an extruded aluminum or roll-formed cladding on the weather side. You get a paintable or stainable interior with a finish the weather never touches. In a dry climate that arrangement lasts decades with almost no attention paid to it.
Brevard is not a dry climate. Average relative humidity here sits high year round, wind-driven rain arrives horizontally several times a season, and any breach in the cladding lets water into a cavity that cannot dry outward. Failures in clad wood almost never start at the wood. They start at a cladding joint, a corner key or a failed sealant bead, and by the time the interior stain darkens the sill is already gone.
There is a second problem specific to this coast. Aluminum cladding within sight of salt spray needs an anodized or high-performance fluoropolymer finish, not a standard paint. On beachside homes in Melbourne Beach or Indian Harbour Beach we will not quote a builder-grade cladding at all, because we would be back in five years looking at chalking and filiform corrosion under the coating.
Where clad wood earns its place is inland and away from direct exposure. Older homes off Port Malabar Boulevard, houses in June Park with deep overhangs, historic properties in Rockledge where a vinyl sightline would be visually wrong. Give it a generous roof overhang, keep it out of direct salt spray, and the assembly behaves for a very long time.
On the mitigation side, clad wood impact units exist and carry Florida Product Approvals, and they record on Question 7 exactly the same as any other unit tested to the same missile and cyclic standard. There is no penalty on the form for the material and no bonus for it either. What matters is only that the assembly, at the size you are ordering, was tested and approved for your design pressure.
Maintenance is the part buyers skip in the showroom. The exterior sealant joints need looking at annually, weep paths need to stay clear, and any interior finish has to be renewed on schedule. If nobody in the household is going to do that, and nobody is going to pay somebody to do it, this is the wrong product and we would rather say so now.
When a client on the water insists on the look, we usually propose an alternative: a fiberglass or aluminum exterior with a factory wood-look interior liner. It gives most of the interior warmth, keeps the exposed assembly non-organic, and removes the failure mode that ruins clad wood in a lagoon-side house.
Our licensed and insured team brings the right materials and equipment to every job — nine-pound large-missile impact testing, cyclic pressure loading to ASTM E1886, polyvinyl butyral and ionoplast interlayers, Florida Product Approval numbers, design pressure ratings per elevation, buck-anchored perimeter fastening — and backs the work with a written workmanship warranty. We serve Palm Bay and nearby communities including Melbourne, West Melbourne, Palm Shores, Melbourne Village.

Materials, equipment and how we do wood and clad-wood windows
The difference between wood and clad-wood windows that lasts and wood and clad-wood windows that gets redone in three years is almost always preparation and materials, not the finish you see on day one. We work with nine-pound large-missile impact testing, cyclic pressure loading to ASTM E1886, polyvinyl butyral and ionoplast interlayers, Florida Product Approval numbers, spec them to the job instead of to the invoice, and write the material grades into the free estimate so you know exactly what you are buying.
Every Palm Bay job runs the same way: site walk and measurements, written scope and fixed price, protection of the surrounding area, then the work itself with a daily clean-up. Years of window work in south Brevard County means we have already met whatever your property is going to throw at us — awkward access, older construction, an HOA with opinions.
