AfterFast, Reliable Custom Windows & Doors Across West Palm Beach
Custom windows and doors in West Palm Beach usually mean one of three things: a historic home in Flamingo Park that needs preservation-board approval for every profile line, a mid-century CBS house with jalousie windows that are bleeding air and raising your insurance premium, or a modern addition where an off-the-shelf unit simply won’t fit the opening. We handle all three. TruePane has been fabricating and installing custom units across West Palm Beach long enough to know which streets east of I-95 get the worst salt-air corrosion and which El Cid properties need a laminated impact glass retrofit with sightlines that match 1920s wood double-hungs. Call (754) 238-2201 and a live person answers, not a call tree. We’ll set a time to measure your openings, quote manufacturer lines side by side on paper, and tell you plainly what the job will cost before we touch anything.
Why TruePane Windows & Doors Is West Palm Beach’s Preferred Custom Windows & Doors Company
We’ve spent years learning what West Palm Beach openings actually require. The houses here were built in waves: 1920s frame construction in El Cid and Old Northwood, 1950s through 1970s concrete block in the central neighborhoods, and 1980s onward in the western corridors. Each wave has its own failure modes. A crew that only installs stock impact windows in new construction doesn’t know what to do when Flamingo Park’s preservation board wants muntin profiles that never factory-match a vinyl line. We do.
Our West Palm Beach customers call us back because we register both manufacturer warranty layers in writing before the truck leaves the driveway. That’s The Keystone Standard. It’s not a brochure promise. It’s a paper trail, and if anything fails inside 90 days, we return and make it right under the Done Right Promise. No paperwork fights, no arguing about who’s responsible.
We also answer the phone. Every hour, every day. When a West Palm Beach homeowner discovers a fogged pane the morning after a summer storm, they call and talk to a person who can dispatch a crew that same day. Not a callback form.
Our Custom Windows & Doors Services in West Palm Beach
Our Custom Windows & Doors team focuses on the openings where no stock unit fits. Here’s what that means in West Palm Beach specifically.
Custom Shape Windows
Arched tops, circular portholes, eyebrow dormers, trapezoid transoms over a 1970s ranch entry. West Palm Beach’s architectural range, from Mediterranean Revival in El Cid to mid-century modern in the South End, means a surprising number of openings are not rectangles. We template each opening, fabricate to the measured curve, and install with the same impact rating a square window would carry under Florida Product Approval. Custom shape windows in West Palm Beach typically run $1,100 to $4,800 per unit depending on glass package, frame material, and whether the shape requires curved laminated lites.
Commercial Storefront Glazing
Clematis Street storefronts, Northwood Village storefronts, medical offices along Palm Beach Lakes Boulevard. These buildings take a beating from afternoon sun and salt air off the Lake Worth Lagoon. We replace failed insulated glass units in aluminum storefront framing, reglaze entrances, and bring older storefronts up to current wind-load requirements. Jobs range from $900 for a single door lite to $14,000 for a full storefront reglaze and reframe.
Curtain Wall Systems
For low-rise commercial and high-end residential work along Flagler Drive and throughout downtown West Palm Beach, curtain wall systems require engineering calculation, anchor design, and installation tolerances measured in sixteenths of an inch. We handle perimeter sealants, pressure plate systems, and structural silicone glazing. A typical curtain wall section in West Palm Beach runs $35 to $95 per square foot installed, with engineering and permitting costs documented separately in the quote.
Architectural Grilles & SDLs
Simulated divided lites, true divided lites, and architectural grilles are how you keep a 1920s home looking like a 1920s home while meeting 2025 impact standards. We fabricate and install exterior applied grilles and interior flat grids for El Cid and Flamingo Park properties where the preservation board requires specific bar widths and profiles. SDL packages typically add $120 to $380 per window, with exact pricing set by bar profile and finish.
Oversized Glass Panels
When a West Palm Beach homeowner opens up a back wall for a view of the Intracoastal, they’re usually talking about panels eight feet wide and ten feet tall. That’s not a stock order. Oversized impact-rated panels require bolted framing, engineered headers, and glazing that often weighs too much for a two-man crew to carry. We plan for that on day one. Oversized panel installations in West Palm Beach typically run $4,500 to $18,000 per installation depending on panel count, glass thickness, and access conditions.

Trusted Brands We Service in West Palm Beach
We’re an authorized installer for more than a dozen manufacturer lines, including CGI, PGT, ES Windows, and ECO Window Systems. That matters for West Palm Beach because not every line is approved for Palm Beach County’s wind-borne debris region. We know which specific CGI and PGT impact packages carry Florida Product Approval for the county’s 140 to 150 mph design wind speed, and we’ll quote them side by side on paper so you see the glass package, frame material, and warranty terms without a spec sheet disappearing into a sales pitch. We keep the hardware and parts our West Palm Beach customers need, which means faster turnaround when a hinge wears out or a lock fails.
Common Custom Windows & Doors Problems We See in West Palm Beach Homes
- Jalousie windows in mid-century CBS homes. The original jalousie units on a 1960s West Palm Beach house leak conditioned air constantly. A single room can lose a third of its cooling load through closed jalousies, and once a wall is open for a permit inspection, that energy loss can trigger code compliance issues. Replacement with impact-rated casements or fixed units with operable mullions typically resolves the leak and satisfies the county’s wind-borne debris requirements.
- Fogged glass on 1990s impact retrofits. Original single-pane aluminum windows rarely fog, but the first wave of impact retrofits from the 1990s is now failing all over West Palm Beach. Salt air off the Lake Worth Lagoon corrodes the aluminum frame, which then allows moisture intrusion into the insulated glass unit. Once the seal fails, the only fix is a new IGU or full sash replacement.
- Rotted jambs on historic frame construction. In Flamingo Park and El Cid, the original 1920s to 1940s wood double-hungs have jambs that have wicked decades of humid air and salt spray. The jamb rots behind the sash, the window loses its structural seat, and the preservation board still wants the original sightlines restored. That means custom aluminum-clad wood frames with laminated impact glass, not a vinyl pocket insert.
- Undersized framing at original openings. A mid-century CBS home’s original window openings were often framed with 2×4 stock that cannot take the weight of a modern fusion-welded frame without transferring load to the sill. When we open the wall to install an impact-rated unit, we check the framing and reframe where necessary. Skipping that step is how a new window starts leaking air within two years.

FAQs - Custom Windows & Doors in West Palm Beach
West Palm Beach falls within Palm Beach County’s wind-borne debris region, which means any replacement window or door must be either impact-rated or protected by an approved shutter system. On replacement projects, most West Palm Beach homeowners choose impact-rated units because shutters add cost and operational hassle without improving energy performance. What matters to your insurance company is the Florida Product Approval on the specific unit, not the Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance. We can show you which lines meet Palm Beach County’s approval requirements before you spend a dollar. Call (754) 238-2201 to talk through your specific replacement.
You find things the original builder never planned for: undersized 2×4 framing that can’t carry a modern impact unit’s weight, rotted sill plates from decades of humid air and occasional water intrusion, and electrical runs that don’t meet current code. That’s why we price every West Palm Beach remodel with an inspection-first contract. We write allowances into the estimate for framing repair, waterproofing, and code-triggered upgrades. If we find something outside the allowance, we price it, show you the photos, and get your written approval before we proceed. Nothing gets added to the bill that you didn’t see coming.
Because preservation boards in those districts mandate that replacement windows match the original sightlines, profiles, and muntin patterns. A stock impact window, even in white, doesn’t match a 1920s wood double-hung’s frame thickness, sash profile, or glass plane. In Flamingo Park, we opened a 1920s wood double-hung and found the original jamb rotted from decades of salt-air wicking and the sash barely hanging on. The board required matching sightlines, so we retrofitted impact-rated laminated glass into a custom aluminum-clad wood frame with new flashing tape and an argon-filled low-E insulated glass unit. That’s the scope a stock impact unit can’t touch, and it’s why custom fabrication is the only path in those neighborhoods.
Yes, and this is the conversation we have most often in West Palm Beach. Insurance carriers are surcharging or nonrenewing policies on 1950s through 1970s CBS homes that still carry original jalousie or single-pane aluminum windows. Replacing them with impact-rated units that carry Florida Product Approval typically removes the surcharge and, in many cases, triggers a premium reduction through the carrier’s wind mitigation credit. The replacement cost often pays for itself in four to seven years in premium savings and cooling load reduction, before you count the resale value. We’ll provide the documentation your carrier needs to verify the upgrade. Call (754) 238-2201 for exact window recommendations based on your home’s construction.
Yes. Properties east of I-95, within blocks of the Lake Worth Lagoon, get persistent salt-air exposure that accelerates oxidation on standard aluminum frames. Hardware corrodes, frame corners lose their finish, and the frame’s structural seal degrades faster than the same unit would inland. We see 1990s impact retrofits near the Intracoastal with frame corrosion severe enough to let moisture into the insulated glass unit, causing fog between the panes. The fix is a frame with a premium coating or a fiberglass line, not just a new sash in the same failing frame. Call (754) 238-2201 and we’ll tell you honestly whether your current frames are worth keeping.
