Fast, Reliable Custom Windows & Doors Across Palm Beach
Custom windows and doors in Palm Beach follow a different set of rules than anywhere else on Florida’s east coast. The salt air works on hardware from two directions at once, and the Town’s Architectural Commission reviews nearly every visible change on the island’s older homes. You need a company that understands both problems before the first measurement is taken. We’re TruePane Windows & Doors, and we’ve spent years in this trade, building and installing windows that hold true through hurricane seasons, salt fog, and ARCOM review. If you’re looking at custom work in Palm Beach, call us at (754) 238-2201 for a free estimate. A live person answers.
Why TruePane Windows & Doors Is Palm Beach’s Preferred Custom Windows & Doors Company
We learned early that Palm Beach is not the same job site as West Palm Beach. The barrier island geography changes everything. Salt air from the Atlantic and the Intracoastal Waterway hits windows and doors from both sides, year-round, and standard hardware simply will not hold up. When we send a crew to the Estate Section or South Ocean Boulevard, they arrive knowing the difference between what ARCOM will accept on a Mizner-era home and what it will bounce back for re-review. That local knowledge saves Palm Beach homeowners money and months of delay. Dale Kessler founded this company in 2008 on a simple rule: if the pane is not true, the job is not done. We still work to that standard on every custom window and door we install in Palm Beach.
We are not the cheapest bid in Palm Beach, and we will not pretend to be. What we offer is a square deal: written line-item pricing, both manufacturer warranty layers registered before our truck leaves your driveway, and a Done Right Promise in writing. If it is not done right, we make it right. No arguing. Palm Beach homeowners who have been through cheap replacement windows that fogged within two seasons understand why this matters. You want a company that will still be here in thirty years, and that still answers the phone when you call. That is us.
Our Custom Windows & Doors Services in Palm Beach
Custom work in Palm Beach is often the only path forward. When a standard off-the-shelf unit will not pass ARCOM review, or when the opening is an arched Mizner original that no stock size will fill, custom fabrication is the answer. Our Custom Windows & Doors team handles the full scope, from first measurement through final inspection. Here are the services Palm Beach homeowners call us for most often.
Custom Shape Windows
Palm Beach’s Mediterranean Revival and Bermuda-style homes are full of arched openings, round porthole windows, and trapezoid transoms that simply do not exist in a stock catalog. We build these to spec. Each custom shape window is measured twice, templated, and fabricated to match the original profile, then glazed with impact-laminated glass that meets Palm Beach County wind codes. For ARCOM-regulated properties, we coordinate the sightline details with your architect before anything is ordered.

Architectural Grilles & SDLs
Simulated divided lites are the detail that makes or breaks a historic Palm Beach elevation. ARCOM looks carefully at muntin width, profile depth, and grid alignment because these details define the character of an Addison Mizner facade. We specify true SDLs with aluminum spacer bars bonded between the glass, not snap-in grids that peel and rattle. On several Estate Section homes, we have matched original 1930s muntin profiles within a sixteenth of an inch to satisfy the board. This is the work that separates a real glazing contractor from a window salesman.

Oversized Glass Panels
Oceanfront and lakefront properties in Palm Beach often call for glass panels that run twelve feet or more, and the engineering on these is unforgiving. Wind loads on the barrier island are higher than inland Palm Beach County, and a large panel that is underspecified will deflect visibly in a tropical storm. We size the glass, the frame, and the structural silicone to the specific exposure of your lot, facing east to the Atlantic or west to the Intracoastal. The price is fixed in writing before we order.

Commercial Storefront Glazing
Worth Avenue and Royal Poinciana Way storefronts deal with the same salt air as the houses, plus foot traffic and security requirements. We install commercial storefront systems in Palm Beach with marine-grade finishes on frames and fasteners, impact glazing where the code calls for it, and thresholds detailed to shed the afternoon downpours that flood low elevation entries. Lead times here are real, and we tell you the truth about them before you sign.

Curtain Wall Systems
On newer ultra-luxury builds along South Ocean Boulevard, curtain wall is the envelope system of choice for water and air performance. The challenge in Palm Beach is that the system must be engineered for salt-laden wind from the ocean side while weeps and flashing manage horizontal rain from the Intracoastal side. We install curtain wall with pressure-equalized rain screen principles and marine-grade stainless hardware. Leaks in a curtain wall are expensive, and in Palm Beach, leaks are almost always a detailing failure, not a glass failure.

Trusted Brands We Service in Palm Beach
We are an authorized installer for more than a dozen manufacturer lines, and in Palm Beach we typically quote PGT, CGI, and CWS because their impact-rated lines hold up to the island’s salt exposure when specified correctly. When we prepare a quote, we put the manufacturer’s numbers side by side on paper so you see exactly what you are paying for: the glass package, the frame finish, the hardware grade, the warranty duration. Both warranty layers get registered in writing before the truck leaves the driveway. For Palm Beach homeowners replacing one bad sash or a full wall of glass, we have the parts channels and the manufacturer relationships to keep lead times honest.
Common Custom Windows & Doors Problems We See in Palm Beach Homes
- Salt-air corrosion of hardware and frames. The Atlantic and the Intracoastal work on metal from both sides. Stainless fasteners that last twenty years in Lake Worth will pit and seize within a few seasons on Palm Beach. We specify marine-grade stainless and anodized finishes as the baseline, not an upgrade.
- ARCOM rejections on off-the-shelf windows. We regularly meet Palm Beach homeowners who paid a contractor to install standard impact windows on a contributing property, only to have the Architectural Commission order them removed. The re-review is expensive. We handle the ARCOM submission and fabrication in one coordinated process from the start.
- Fogged panes from failed seals. Fusion-welded vinyl frames that pass wind codes in inland Palm Beach County still warp and leak under island heat and salt fog. When the seal goes, the insulating gas escapes and the glass fogs. We replace failed insulated glass units with marine-grade glazing and proper desiccant, and we correct the flashing defects that caused the water intrusion in the first place.
- Water intrusion at the jamb and sill. On the barrier island, horizontal rain pushes water against the window opening from both the ocean side and the Intracoastal side. Homes with poor flashing details get water into the wall cavity, which is how a window replacement turns into a rot repair. We flash the jamb and sill with peel-and-stick tape before we set the unit, every time.
Pricing for Custom Windows & Doors in Palm Beach, FL
Custom work in Palm Beach runs higher than the county average, and there is a reason for it. The fabrication is not stock, the glass is impact-laminated, and the detailing must satisfy ARCOM. A custom shape impact window on a historic home in the Estate Section typically runs $2,800 to $7,500 per opening, depending on size, profile complexity, and glazing spec. Oversized oceanfront glass panels start around $12,000 and climb with structural engineering requirements. Architectural grilles and SDLs add roughly $400 to $900 per sash, depending on muntin profile and whether true divided lites are specified. When we quote a job, the price is fixed in writing before anything is ordered. No change orders because the fabricator raised a price. No reopeners. The estimate is free, and the number you see is the number you pay. Call (754) 238-2201 to schedule yours.

FAQs - Custom Windows & Doors in Palm Beach
The Town of Palm Beach’s Architectural Commission protects the island’s contributing Mediterranean Revival and Bermuda-style buildings by requiring that replacement windows match the original profiles, materials, and sightlines. Standard impact units have wider frames and different muntin profiles that ARCOM routinely rejects on historic properties. Custom fabrication is required to retrofit impact-laminated glass into steel or bronze profiles that match the original. We handle the ARCOM submission and the fabrication together, which avoids the expensive re-review that happens when a contractor tries to bypass the board. Call (754) 238-2201 for an exact quote on your specific property.
For an oceanfront lot on Palm Beach, we specify a minimum of two low-E coatings tuned to reject solar heat gain while admitting daylight, and we use argon fill with a warm-edge spacer system that resists condensate at the glass edge. The salt air does not touch the argon, but it attacks the frame and hardware around the glass, which is why the glazing package and the frame finish are specified together. Krypton is an option for high-wind slots where the air space must be thinner. Ask for a side-by-side glazing comparison and we will show you the numbers.
Plan for 10 to 16 weeks from signed shop drawings to installation, longer if the project involves ARCOM review or custom bronze or steel profile fabrication. The lead time is set by the fabricator and the glass manufacturer, not by our labor schedule, which is why we tell you the truth about it before you sign. We lock the price in writing when the order is placed, and we do not ask for a change order if the manufacturer’s own price moves afterward. That is a square deal.
On many Palm Beach Mediterranean Revival homes, yes. If the original steel or bronze frame is structurally sound and the corrosion is limited to the sash and hardware, we can fabricate a new sash to match the original profile and fit it to the existing frame. ARCOM generally prefers this approach because it preserves the original opening. If the frame itself is pitted or the jamb is rusted through, a full replacement is the honest call. We will show you the condition of the metal before we recommend either path.
We flash every jamb and sill with peel-and-stick membrane before setting the unit, and we use marine-grade sealants rated for salt and prolonged UV exposure. On South Ocean Boulevard, we replaced a set of 80-year-old Mizner-era bronze casement windows after ARCOM refused standard impact units. The original bronze hardware had been eaten by salt air, so we specified marine-grade stainless fasteners and flashed the jamb and sash with peel-and-stick tape to stop the water intrusion that caused the seal failure. Our crew coordinated with the architect to match the original sightlines, and we locked the price in writing before ordering the custom profiles. That is the standard on every Palm Beach job, not the exception.
