AfterFast, Reliable Custom Windows & Doors Across Cabana Colony
Custom window and door work in Cabana Colony comes down to one reality: the homes here were built between the 1950s and 1970s, long before Palm Beach County adopted wind-borne debris codes. That means nearly every replacement we install is a code-compliance upgrade, not just a swap. Original single-pane aluminum frames, jalousie units, and non-standard rough openings are the rule, not the exception. We send background-checked, uniformed crews into Cabana Colony regularly, and we know what these block homes need before we open the first wall. Call (754) 238-2201 and a live person answers. No voicemail tree, no callback form.
Why TruePane Windows & Doors Is Cabana Colony’s Preferred Custom Windows & Doors Company
We are not the newest name in Cabana Colony, and we do not need to be. TruePane Windows & Doors was founded by second-generation glazier Dale Kessler in 2008, and the standard behind every job is the same one Dale keeps on the whiteboard: if the pane is not true, the job is not done. That rule governs how we measure, how we flash, how we seal, and how we finish. In Cabana Colony, where salt air off the Intracoastal eats aluminum and non-marine hardware within a few seasons, that standard matters more than most places.
We background-check every technician, put them in uniform, and hold them to the same standard we would use in our own mothers’ homes. When a Cabana Colony homeowner calls us about a jalousie window that will not close or an aluminum frame that has pitted through, we send someone who has seen that exact failure before. Our crews coordinate scheduling and dispatch from our South Florida office, but the work is done locally in Cabana Colony by the same people each time. The Done Right Promise applies to every job here, in writing. If it is not done right, we make it right. No paperwork fights, no arguing.
We are an authorized installer for more than a dozen manufacturer lines, including, PGT, and CGI. Homeowners in Cabana Colony who call us get side-by-side quotes on paper, not a single line item and a shrug. That is a square deal, and it is the only way we do business.
Our Custom Windows & Doors Services in Cabana Colony
Most homes in Cabana Colony were framed with rough openings that do not match modern standard sizes. That makes custom work the default here, not an upsell. We measure every opening twice, quote manufacturer lines side by side, and register both warranty layers before the truck leaves the driveway. Here is what we handle most often in Cabana Colony.
Custom Shape Windows
Arched, radius, octagonal, and trapezoid openings show up all over Cabana Colony’s older block homes, and they rarely match anything off the shelf. We build custom shape windows to the exact opening dimensions, using NOA-certified impact glass rated for Palm Beach County’s wind-borne debris region. The frame is fabricated to the opening. Not the other way around. Homeowners on streets like Burns Road and Parker Avenue have called us after two or three other companies said no. We measure, we fabricate, we install.
Architectural Grilles & SDLs
Simulated divided lites, or SDLs, give a window the look of individual panes without sacrificing impact performance. For Cabana Colony homeowners who want to keep the mid-century character of their 1960s block homes, an SDL grid over impact-rated insulated glass is often the best path. We install architectural grilles and SDLs in custom windows and doors, matching the spacing and profile to the home’s original look. The grilles are applied on the interior and exterior surfaces, and they hold up to salt air far better than the original aluminum mullions ever did.
Oversized Glass Panels
Sliding glass doors and picture windows that open to a Cabana Colony yard need oversized glass panels rated for impact. We install oversized insulated glass units with marine-grade frames and stainless steel rollers. The old aluminum sliders in this neighborhood seize in the track within a few years of exposure to Intracoastal salt air. We replace them with heavy-gauge stainless hardware and sealed roller assemblies that do not corrode the same way. On a 1960s block home off Burns Road, our crew removed a row of corroded jalousie windows and found the original aluminum jambs had oxidized so badly that the rough openings varied by over half an inch. We reframed each opening and installed impact-rated casement windows with stainless steel hardware and marine-grade flashing tape, sealing the insulated glass units against salt air from the Intracoastal.
Commercial Storefront Glazing and Curtain Wall Systems
Cabana Colony is mostly residential, but the small commercial buildings along the main roads need the same coastal-spec attention. We handle commercial storefront glazing and curtain wall systems for storefronts and small offices in and around Cabana Colony, using the same NOA-certified glass and marine-grade framing we put in homes. Storefront work near the Intracoastal fails faster than inland, so we specify aluminum with a marine anodized finish and stainless fasteners as standard. If a property has original storefront framing from the 1970s, we survey the rough openings before quoting so the replacement fits the structure, not a catalog.
Trusted Brands We Service in Cabana Colony
We install and service windows and doors from more than a dozen manufacturer lines, and we quote them side by side on paper so a Cabana Colony homeowner can see exactly what they are buying. That includes PGT and CGI for impact-rated glass, both of which carry NOA certifications accepted by Palm Beach County permit review. We also work with Ply Gem for replacement windows and doors where full impact rating is not required by the specific opening. We keep local parts and hardware for Cabana Colony jobs, which means a broken sash lock, a seized roller, or a failed seal on a window we installed does not wait on a warehouse in another state. We stand behind the work, the warranty, and the promise, in writing.
Common Custom Windows & Doors Problems We See in Cabana Colony Homes
- Jalousie windows that fail every permit review. These louvered glass-slat units are still on many Cabana Colony homes, and they are non-compliant under current Palm Beach County wind-borne debris codes. Every permit review flags them. We remove the jalousies and the surrounding frame, reframe the opening to a standard depth, and install impact-rated casements or sliders with NOA certification.
- Original aluminum frames that have pitted and corroded. Salt air from the Intracoastal accelerates aluminum oxidation even a few blocks inland. Frames pit, sashes seize, and the seal between glass panes fails. Once the frame is pitted through, the only correct repair is replacement. We install marine-grade aluminum or vinyl with stainless hardware so the new frame does not repeat the cycle in five years.
- Non-marine fasteners that rust through custom door jambs. Original custom doors in Cabana Colony often used plain zinc or low-grade steel screws and hinges. Salt air rusts them through, which lets water into the jamb and rots the surrounding block. We replace door hardware with stainless steel and re-flash the opening with marine-grade tape before hanging the new door.
- Rough openings that were never square to begin with. Concrete-block homes from the 1950s and 1960s used non-standard rough opening sizes, and many of them drifted over time. A replacement window that assumes a square opening will leak. We measure every opening at multiple points, reframe where necessary, and flash to the actual dimensions of the wall, not the original window.
Pricing for Custom Windows & Doors in Cabana Colony, FL
Custom window and door work in Cabana Colony runs higher than a standard replacement in a newer inland subdivision, and the reason is the coastal-spec materials plus the labor to reframe non-standard openings. Here are honest ranges for the work we do most often in Cabana Colony:
| Job Type | Typical Cabana Colony Range |
|---|---|
| Custom impact casement window, standard opening | $900 - $1,600 per window |
| Jalousie removal and reframe to impact casement | $1,400 - $2,400 per opening |
| Oversized impact sliding glass door | $4,500 - $8,500 installed |
| Architectural grilles or SDLs added to impact windows | $700 - $1,900 per opening |
| Custom shape window (radius, arch, trapezoid) | $1,700 - $3,800 fabricated and installed |
| Full-home window replacement in Cabana Colony | $14,000 - $32,000 depending on opening count and reframing |
The coastal-spec version of the job costs more because marine-grade aluminum, stainless steel hardware, and NOA-certified impact glass each carry a materials premium over the inland-spec version. A cheap inland-spec window installed near the Intracoastal will pit and seize within a decade. The coastal-spec window is the less expensive job over 30 years.

FAQs - Custom Windows & Doors in Cabana Colony
Cabana Colony sits in Palm Beach County’s wind-borne debris region, which means every window and door opening must be protected by impact-rated glazing or an approved shutter system under current Florida Building Code. A Notice of Acceptance, or NOA, certifies that a specific window or door product has passed Miami-Dade or Florida Building Code impact testing. Standard replacement windows without an NOA will fail the permit review and cannot be installed legally in Cabana Colony. We quote NOA-certified products from PGT, CGI, and other approved manufacturers for every opening. Call (754) 238-2201 for a free estimate with the paperwork included.
In most Cabana Colony homes, the practical answer is no. Approved hurricane shutters can satisfy the wind-borne debris requirement on some openings, but the original jalousie windows in these 1950s and 1960s block homes typically fail for other reasons during the permit review: deteriorated aluminum frames, non-locking glass slats, and air infiltration that no longer meets energy code. Insurance underwriters also view original jalousies as a liability that raises premiums or blocks coverage entirely. The most cost-effective path is removal and replacement with impact-rated casements or sliders. Call (754) 238-2201 and we will tell you what your permit reviewer will actually flag before you spend money on shutters.
Salt air accelerates aluminum oxidation by several years compared to inland communities just a few miles west. Original aluminum frames in Cabana Colony pit and corrode from the outside in, which seizes sashes, breaks seals, and eventually eats through the frame wall. Non-marine-grade steel hardware rusts through the same way. We specify marine-grade aluminum or vinyl with stainless steel fasteners, hinges, and rollers for Cabana Colony work, and we flash every opening with marine-grade tape. The cheap inland-spec window is the expensive job here. Call (754) 238-2201 for a quote with the coastal-spec materials listed in writing.
Cabana Colony’s concrete-block homes were built in the 1950s through the 1970s with non-standard rough opening sizes, and the original aluminum or steel frames were often set into concrete block without proper flashing. Over decades, those openings have shifted, and the surrounding masonry has degraded. A custom window install here means measuring each opening at multiple points, often reframing to a true square, and bridging the gaps left by old jalousie units with marine-grade flashing tape. Newer subdivisions have standardized, well-preserved rough openings. Cabana Colony does not. That extra labor is the difference between a window that seats correctly and one that leaks in the first wet season. Call (754) 238-2201 for a free estimate that accounts for the actual openings in your home.
For most Cabana Colony homes, the best value is replacing the original single-pane aluminum frames with impact-rated casement or single-hung windows in marine-grade vinyl or aluminum, installed into reframed openings. Casements seal tighter than sliders, cost less per opening than custom shape windows, and perform well against both wind pressure and salt air. Replacing every original opening in one phase saves on mobilization and reframing labor compared to doing them one at a time over several years. We also register both manufacturer warranty layers before the truck leaves the driveway, so the coverage follows you. Call (754) 238-2201 to schedule a free estimate, and we will walk each opening with you before quoting.
