AfterFast, Reliable Custom Windows & Doors Across Hobe Sound
Custom window and door work in Hobe Sound runs $1,800-$6,400 per opening on most mainland homes, with custom-shaped and oversized units on Jupiter Island-adjacent estates often reaching $9,000-$22,000 per unit when architect-specified impact glazing and structural reinforcement are required. We’ve been doing this work long enough to know that a 1960s CBS ranch on Bridge Rd and an oceanfront estate two miles east are two entirely different jobs, even when they’re both in the 33455 zip code. If you’re planning a replacement or new install in Hobe Sound, call (754) 238-2201 and we’ll walk the job with you. Our Custom Windows & Doors team is led by Dale Kessler, and we’ve been setting glass straight since 2008. A live person answers that number any hour, any day.
Why TruePane Windows & Doors Is Hobe Sound’s Preferred Custom Windows & Doors Company
Hobe Sound homeowners tend to ask the same three questions before they sign anything: who’s actually doing the work, what happens if a warranty claim comes up, and will you still be here in ten years. We answer all three the same way we have since 2008: our own background-checked, uniformed technicians do every install, we register both manufacturer warranty layers in writing before the truck leaves your driveway under The Keystone Standard, and we’re a second-generation glazier’s company that plans to be in this community thirty years from now. Dale Kessler founded the company on a rule that’s still on the whiteboard: if the pane is not true, the job is not done.
What that means for a Hobe Sound homeowner is practical. When you call with a question about a window we installed three years ago, we don’t route you to a call center. We send a tech back. Our Done Right Promise covers the workmanship with no paperwork fights and no fine print that covers neither. And every job gets upfront pricing in writing, so the number on the estimate is the number on the bill. That’s a square deal, and it’s the only way we know how to work.
Our Custom Windows & Doors Services in Hobe Sound
Hobe Sound’s housing stock runs from 1960s concrete block ranches to modern custom builds, and the window and door work follows that split. Here’s what we handle most often across Hobe Sound and the surrounding Treasure Coast communities.
Custom Shape Windows
Arched tops, circles, triangles, trapezoids, eyebrow transoms: the older ranch homes in Hobe Sound were built with standard rectangular openings, but many homeowners are adding or replacing custom architectural windows to get more light into Florida rooms and gable ends. A custom-shaped impact window for a Hobe Sound home typically runs $2,200-$5,800 per unit depending on glass package and frame material. We measure every opening twice, quote the manufacturer line side by side on paper, and order the unit to fit the rough opening exactly, no shim stacks and no gap fills.
Commercial Storefront Glazing
Hobe Sound’s commercial stretches along US-1 and Bridge Rd have storefronts that take a beating from salt air and afternoon sun. We handle storefront glazing replacements, door closers, hinges, and full frame rebuilds for small businesses that can’t afford a week of downtime. Most single-storefront Hobe Sound jobs land between $3,500 and $9,000 depending on whether we’re replacing glass only or full framing and hardware.
Curtain Wall Systems
For larger commercial buildings and high-end residential work near the Intracoastal, curtain wall systems are a different animal: structural aluminum mullions, oversized lites, and engineering letters that have to line up with Martin County wind-load requirements. We handle curtain wall installs and rehabilitations where the specs call for impact-rated glazing and heavily reinforced framing. This work is quoted per project after site review; call our team at (754) 238-2201 and we’ll schedule a walk-through.
Architectural Grilles & SDLs
Simulated divided lites are a popular upgrade on Hobe Sound homes where homeowners want the look of traditional muntins without sacrificing impact-glass performance. We install SDLs and architectural grilles on everything from Andersen 100 Series casements to PGT WinGuard sliders. Expect to add $80-$180 per sash for interior or simulated divided lites, and considerably more for true divided lites on custom units. If you’re matching a specific historic look on a Hobe Sound ranch or a Jupiter Island estate, we quote it as a line item so you see exactly what you’re paying.
Oversized Glass Panels
High-end Hobe Sound homes increasingly use oversized fixed glass panels for uninterrupted views of the Intracoastal and Atlantic. These units often exceed standard tempering and lamination thresholds and require engineering review, custom fabrication, and crane or lift assist on-site. Oversized impact glass panels in Hobe Sound typically start around $7,500 and climb quickly from there depending on size, site access, and whether structural reinforcement is required at the opening. We’ll give you a written quote that includes the engineering, not just the glass.

Trusted Brands We Service in Hobe Sound
We’re an authorized installer for more than a dozen manufacturer lines, including, PGT, CGI, and ES Windows. For Hobe Sound specifically, that matters because the salt-corrosion problem means hardware and frame materials have to be chosen carefully; a powder-coated aluminum frame that does fine inland may pit in three years on a street near the Intracoastal. We stock local parts for common Hobe Sound service needs and can turn around most hardware replacements without waiting on a factory order. If you’re weighing PGT versus CGI versus Andersen for an impact install, we’ll quote all three side by side on paper so you can see the differences in glass build, frame alloy, and warranty terms before you spend a dollar.
Common Custom Windows & Doors Problems We See in Hobe Sound Homes
- Jalousie windows that can’t be repaired to code. Original louvered jalousie windows are common in Hobe Sound’s 1960s and 1970s ranches. They offer no impact protection, leak air constantly, and have no salvageable components. This is a total-replacement job, and the rough openings often need re-framing before a modern impact unit goes in.
- Galvanic corrosion from salt air. Hobe Sound’s position on the central Atlantic coast means aluminum frames, rollers, hinges, and threshold plates corrode fast. Hardware that lasts a decade in Stuart may fail in four to six years on Hobe Sound streets near the Intracoastal or the ocean side of Jupiter Island.
- Failed waterproofing that rotted the framing behind the stucco. Wind-driven rain gets past old flashing and rots king studs and cripples behind the stucco, which stays hidden until we pull the old window. Our inspection-first process catches this before it becomes a mid-job emergency and a revised contract.
- Undersized headers concealed behind old aluminum frames. We’ve found undersized headers on Hobe Sound ranches more times than we can count. When a larger window or door goes in, Martin County code may require the header to be upsized and the opening shear-reinforced. We write an allowance into the contract for exactly this, and any surprise gets priced and approved in writing before we touch the wall.
Pricing for Custom Windows & Doors in Hobe Sound, FL
Here’s what we tell every Hobe Sound homeowner who calls: a standard impact-rated window replacement on a mainland CBS home runs $1,800-$4,200 per opening installed, depending on size, frame material, and glass package.

A full-house jalousie tear-out on a three-bedroom Hobe Sound ranch typically lands between $22,000 and $48,000 including framing repairs, permitting, and disposal. We keep our pricing a square deal: the estimate is the price, period, and every line item gets explained before you approve it.

FAQs - Custom Windows & Doors in Hobe Sound
No. Original louvered jalousie windows from the 1960s and 1970s cannot be repaired, retrofitted, or upgraded to meet the Florida Building Code’s wind-borne debris requirements; they must be fully replaced. The open-frame rough openings on Hobe Sound ranches often require re-framing before a modern impact-rated unit can be installed, which is why our inspection-first process matters: we price the tear-out, the framing, and the new unit all before we start demo. Call (754) 238-2201 to schedule a free measurement and get a written estimate.
No. Hobe Sound is in Martin County, which is not part of Florida’s High Velocity Hurricane Zone, so standard Florida Building Code impact products meet code for mainland CBS homes. The exception is Jupiter Island estates, which are often spec’d to HVHZ-equivalent or beyond at owner insistence. That two-tier reality means we quote both paths and you decide what you want to buy; we’ll walk you through the differences in glass build, frame strength, and cost before any contract is signed.
Hobe Sound sits directly on the Atlantic coast, and the salt-laden sea air accelerates galvanic corrosion on aluminum frames, hardware, rollers, and threshold plates. A frame that lasts twelve years in Palm City may pit and bind in four years on Hobe Sound streets near the Intracoastal. That’s why, for Hobe Sound jobs, we recommend marine-grade hardware and powder-coated or thermally broken aluminum frames where the budget allows, along with hardware and sealants chosen specifically for salt exposure. We’ll show you the warranty terms in writing before you commit, not after.
We stop, document what we found, and hand you a written change order with a line-item price before any additional work starts. On a 1964 CBS ranch on Bridge Rd we opened the wall for a jalousie replacement and found undersized headers and decades of rot behind the stucco; the framing fix was priced and approved in writing before we touched the wall. No hidden change orders, no surprises on the final bill. That’s our Done Right Promise and our standard of work, set by Dale Kessler and enforced on every job we run in Hobe Sound.
Usually yes, if the framing corrections are handled correctly. The key is that older Hobe Sound CBS homes often have concealed undersized headers, which must be upsized when a larger or heavier window goes in, and the rough opening may need shear reinforcement. We write a framing allowance into every Hobe Sound contract so the work is priced up front, and we get any additional fix approved in writing before we proceed. Once the opening is corrected, most custom-shape and moderately oversized units can be installed on a CBS home without requiring a full structural retrofit. Call (754) 238-2201 for an exact quote on your house, and we’ll walk the walls with you.
