Fast, Reliable Custom Windows & Doors Across Highland Beach
Custom window and door work in Highland Beach typically runs $1,800 to $14,000 per opening depending on size, impact rating, and the architectural review requirements of your building, and most projects take two to six weeks from measure to install, with the HOA approval window adding one to three weeks on condominium towers. We serve every condo tower and the few single-family homes along the barrier island between the Atlantic and the Intracoastal. Call (754) 238-2201 for a free, line-item estimate.
Highland Beach is not like working in Boca Raton or Delray Beach. Every single structure in town sits inside the Palm Beach County wind-borne debris region, and every structure gets salt-laden air from both the ocean side and the Intracoastal side simultaneously. That double exposure changes what we specify, how we flash openings, and which manufacturer lines we recommend. We know this because we have pulled permits through the town of Highland Beach building department and sat in front of HOA architectural review committees that govern nearly every tower here.
Why TruePane Windows & Doors Is Highland Beach’s Preferred Custom Windows & Doors Company
Our Custom Windows & Doors team has spent years working the condominium corridors along South Ocean Boulevard, Bel Lido Drive, and the towers clustered near the Highland Beach library. That local repetition matters. We know which buildings require uniform exterior profiles, which HOAs will approve architectural grilles and which will not, and which manufacturer lines already have standing approval with specific boards.
Highland Beach customers tend to call us after another contractor has already gotten tangled in the approval process. They tell us the same story: a window order placed, an HOA rejection letter, and a unit sitting half-finished for months. That does not happen on our jobs because we file the architectural review package before the order goes to the manufacturer, not after. We carry a strong local reputation among Highland Beach condo owners precisely because we understand that the committee approval is the schedule, not an afterthought.
Background-checked, uniformed technicians handle every opening. We measure twice, quote manufacturer lines side by side on paper, and register both warranty layers in writing before the truck leaves your driveway. Dale Kessler founded this company on a rule that still names it: if the pane is not true, the job is not done.
Our Custom Windows & Doors Services in Highland Beach
Custom Shape Windows
Custom shape windows in Highland Beach almost always start with the architectural review committee. Radius tops, porthole units, trapezoids, and geometric transoms all require a written submittal describing profile, color, glass type, and confirmance with the building’s existing aesthetic before any order goes in. We prepare that package ourselves and schedule the shop work around the committee’s calendar so you are not paying rush fees on a unit that has not been approved. Expect lead times of four to seven weeks for true custom geometries, longer if the HOA has a monthly rather than weekly review cycle.

Commercial Storefront Glazing
Highland Beach does not have a commercial downtown the way Delray does, but the ground-floor lobbies, leasing offices, and amenity spaces inside the condo towers count as commercial glazing work, and they face the same salt-air and wind-load requirements as the residential units above. We install and replace impact-rated storefront systems, aluminum curtain wall entries, and reinforced glass doors that hold up to the constant Atlantic and Intracoastal exposure. Our commercial work in Highland Beach is almost always tied to a building-wide improvement program, which means we coordinate schedules with the property manager and the building department at the same time.

Curtain Wall Systems
Curtain wall work in Highland Beach is concentrated in the mid-rise and high-rise towers built between the 1960s and 1980s. These buildings used original aluminum-framed systems that are now heavily pitted and failing. Replacing a curtain wall section here means specifying NOA-approved, impact-rated glass with a profile and finish that matches the rest of the elevation. We have done this on towers along South Ocean Boulevard where the HOA required a uniform exterior appearance across the full facade. The project is as much about the governing documents as it is about the glass.

Architectural Grilles & SDLs
Simulated divided lites and architectural grilles are a common requirement in Highland Beach because many original 1970s and 1980s towers used them, and the architectural review boards insist on continuity. We specify grilles that sit between the glass panes or on the interior and exterior surface, depending on what the committee has approved in past projects. On a mid-rise along South Ocean Boulevard, we matched a 1970s grille pattern using ViewLux casement units and got the approval package through without a revision. That is the kind of detail that keeps a board from sending you back to the manufacturer.

Oversized Glass Panels
Oversized panels in Highland Beach push past the standard 60 by 96 inch window and into the realm of floor-to-ceiling fixed glass, corner glass, and sliding walls that open to ocean-view terraces. These panels are heavier, require structural review, and must be impact-rated to meet Palm Beach County wind-borne debris code. We handle the engineering submittal, the lifting plan, and the installation, and we have done enough of these in Highland Beach to know which towers can take a 12-foot panel through the service elevator and which need a crane. The answer sometimes changes the entire job, so we check before you order.

Trusted Brands We Service in Highland Beach
We are authorized installers for more than a dozen manufacturer lines, and in Highland Beach we most often specify ES Windows based on what the architectural boards have approved on past projects. If your building already has a standing spec for a particular manufacturer, we work within that. We do not push a brand just because the margin is better. We quote side by side on paper so you see the exact glass, frame, finish, and warranty written out before you sign. Local stock for common Highland Beach replacement parts means we can often turn around a hardware or seal repair without waiting on a cross-country shipment.
Common Custom Windows & Doors Problems We See in Highland Beach Homes
- Salt-pitted aluminum frames. The original 1960s-to-1980s aluminum sliders and jalousies in Highland Beach towers have spent decades absorbing salt spray from both the ocean and the Intracoastal. The frames pit, the weep systems clog, and the glass eventually loses its seal.
- Stalled approval packages. A homeowner orders a custom unit, then discovers the HOA architectural review committee rejects the profile, color, or grille pattern. The window has already been fabricated and the unit sits half-finished for months. We file the submittal first, which stops this before it starts.
- Non-impact glass installed by mistake. Palm Beach County wind-borne debris region rules make impact-rated glazing a code requirement in Highland Beach, not an upgrade. A non-impact unit gets a stop-work order and a forced reorder. We do not let that happen.
- Seal failure from dual-direction salt. Highland Beach’s razor-thin barrier island means every opening faces salt-laden air from two directions. Standard flashing and sealants degrade in two years where an inland property would get ten. We use marine-grade flashing and fusion-welded frames that hold up to the punishment.
Pricing for Custom Windows & Doors in Highland Beach, FL
Here is what we see on Highland Beach jobs. A custom shape window with architectural review and impact rating runs $2,200 to $7,500 per opening. Architectural grilles and SDLs add $300 to $1,200 per window depending on pattern and profile. Oversized glass panels start around $4,000 and climb past $14,000 when they require structural engineering and crane access on the tower side. Full curtain wall sections on Highland Beach condominiums are bid per elevation, not per panel, and those projects run into six figures because they involve uniform exterior profiles, engineering, and multi-unit scheduling.
What moves the price in Highland Beach more than anything is the approval timeline. Rush fabrication to hit a board meeting costs extra, and so does correcting an order that was never submitted. We handle the submittal ourselves, so you pay for the window and the install, not for indecision. We also offer a permanent 5% discount for seniors and veterans. Call (754) 238-2201 for a free, written, line-item estimate.

FAQs - Custom Windows & Doors in Highland Beach
Typically one to three weeks, depending on whether your board meets weekly or monthly and whether your submittal packet is complete on the first pass. We prepare the full package, including profile drawings, color samples, glass type, and manufacturer specifications, before the window goes into production, so the review runs concurrent with fabrication, not after it. Call (754) 238-2201 and we will walk you through your building’s specific review cycle.
Yes. Highland Beach is a razor-thin barrier island, and every single address falls within the Palm Beach County wind-borne debris region. That code requirement applies to openings facing the Intracoastal Waterway exactly as it applies to openings facing the Atlantic. There is no inland side of Highland Beach. We specify NOA-approved impact-rated glazing on every window and door we install here, regardless of which direction it faces.
Yes, but only if the replacement matches the profile, color, finish, and grille pattern the architectural review committee has already established for the building. Most Highland Beach towers require unit-by-unit replacements to match the existing exterior appearance exactly. We have done this work on multiple buildings and know how to specify the right manufacturer and profile without the committee sending you back. Call (754) 238-2201 and we will check what your tower has already approved.
Highland Beach sits on a barrier island with the Atlantic on one side and the Intracoastal on the other, so every opening is hit with salt-laden air from both directions, all year, all day. Boca Raton and Delray Beach have many properties set back from the water, which buffers the worst of the corrosion. In Highland Beach there is no buffer at all. The original 1960s-to-1980s aluminum frames pit, the sealants degrade, and the glass seals fail in half the time you would expect inland. We use marine-grade materials and fusion-welded frames for exactly that reason.
We do. The homeowner or the association manager should not have to navigate the town of Highland Beach building department and the HOA architectural review committee at the same time. We prepare the full submittal for custom oversize glass panels, including structural engineering, wind-load calculations, impact rating documentation, and profile samples, and we file it under our name. Our team does the same for every custom window and door project in Highland Beach, and we do not order the glass until the paperwork is right. Call (754) 238-2201 for a free estimate and we will take the review process from there.
If you are ready to stop fighting the wind, the salt, and the committee, call TruePane Windows & Doors at (754) 238-2201. We will measure every opening twice, put the quote in writing, and handle the Highland Beach approval process from start to finish. Free estimates, no pressure, no surprises on the bill.
