We know Hobe Sound’s dual market well because we work both sides of it every month. The mainland’s 1960s and 1970s concrete-block ranch homes often still carry original single-pane aluminum sliders that bind in July and leak during coastal storms. Jupiter Island, same zip code, different world: custom estates where every opening must satisfy architectural review and wind-borne debris code. Same crew, same standard, two very different jobs.
Why TruePane Windows & Doors Is Hobe Sound’s Preferred Sliding & Patio Doors Company
TruePane was founded in 2008 by second-generation glazier Dale Kessler, but the craft tradition behind the name goes back many years. We’re not a franchise playbook. We hire local, train apprentices into journeymen, and act like a company that plans to be in Hobe Sound in thirty years. That’s why we sponsor county fairs and church roof funds. It’s why background-checked, uniformed technicians measure every opening twice before quoting. And it’s why a live person answers our phone 24 hours a day, seven days a week, not a voicemail tree.
Customers in Hobe Sound call us about salt-pitted frames, fogged glass, and doors that will not track straight anymore. We quote manufacturer lines side by side on paper so you see exactly what you’re buying, and we register both warranty layers in writing before the truck leaves your driveway. That’s The Keystone Standard, and it’s backed by our Done Right Promise: if it’s not done right, we make it right, no paperwork, no arguing.
Our Sliding & Patio Doors Services in Hobe Sound
Our Sliding & Patio Doors team handles everything from a simple slider swap on a mainland ranch to a fully custom panoramic system on a barrier-island estate. Here’s what we do most in Hobe Sound:
Heavy-Duty Sliding Doors
On Jupiter Island, where wind loads and architectural review standards are unrelenting, heavy-duty sliders are the default, not the upgrade. We install reinforced multi-point locking systems, laminated impact glass, and stainless steel hardware that holds up to salt air far better than the aluminum rollers and mortise locks that came on mainland homes fifty years ago. A heavy-duty impact slider for a Hobe Sound coastal parcel typically runs $6,000 to $12,000 installed, depending on size and finish.
Pocket & Barn Doors
Pocket doors make sense in Hobe Sound’s smaller mainland floor plans, where a swinging door eats nine square feet and a slider wastes a wall. We retrofit pocket frames into existing walls, convert old swing openings, and install barn-style doors when the wall cannot be opened. On tight lots off Dixie Highway and Bridge Road, this is often the difference between a living room that works and one that fights you. Expect $1,800 to $4,500 for a quality pocket door retrofit, including framing and trim.
Screen Door Installation
Hobe Sound sits between the Atlantic and the Intracoastal. The bugs know this. A properly fitted screen door on a slider or patio opening keeps the cross-breeze and keeps out the no-see-ums. We build and install custom screen doors sized to your exact opening, including pet-resistant mesh and extruded aluminum frames that will not corrode in salt air. Most screen door installs in Hobe Sound run $350 to $900 and take under two hours.
Panoramic Sliding Systems
For Jupiter Island estates and newer mainland builds on larger lots, panoramic sliders with floor-to-ceiling glass panels open an entire wall to the ocean or the yard. These are custom-engineered systems from manufacturers like ES Windows and ECO Window Systems, with stainless tracks, thermal breaks, and impact glazing built to Martin County wind-borne debris requirements. Budget $15,000 to $30,000 for a true panoramic system in Hobe Sound, and expect a four-to-eight-week lead time.

Trusted Brands We Service in Hobe Sound
TruePane is an authorized installer for more than a dozen manufacturer lines, including, PGT, CGI, and ES Windows. For Hobe Sound coastal work, we frequently specify ES Windows and ECO Window Systems for their corrosion-resistant hardware and impact ratings for large-format glazing where sightlines matter. We keep common replacement parts stocked locally for Hobe Sound customers: rollers, tracks, handles, and weatherstripping for most major brands. That means a door that drags on Thursday can often be rolling on Friday.
Common Sliding & Patio Doors Problems We See in Hobe Sound Homes
- Salt-pitted aluminum frames and corroded hardware. Hobe Sound’s persistent salt-laden air, with no meaningful inland buffer between the Atlantic and the Intracoastal, pits aluminum frames and corrodes door hardware faster than communities even ten miles west. We see sliders that bind, rollers that freeze, and thresholds that crumble within a decade of installation.
- Original single-pane sliders flexing under wind load. The 1960s and 1970s CBS ranch homes that dominate mainland Hobe Sound were built before Florida’s impact-resistant opening requirements existed. Their original sliders flex during coastal storms, compromising the jamb seal and letting water intrude behind the frame.
- Fogged glass from failed seals. Salt air accelerates seal degradation, and a slider facing the Intracoastal can fog within eight to twelve years. You cannot repair a failed seal; the glass unit gets replaced, and if the frame is pitted, you’re often better off replacing the whole door.
- Jupiter Island architectural review failures. Non-impact sliders fail Martin County’s wind-borne debris requirements, and they can also fail the island’s architectural review standards during a sale or insurance renewal. We quote impact-rated, architecturally sympathetic units before you spend money on something that will not pass.

Mainland homes from the 1960s and 1970s often carry a hidden cost: the rough opening. Original aluminum sliders were set in frames that rarely match modern impact-rated units, so expect some rough-opening modification, which adds $400 to $1,200 depending on the wall. A tight lot off Dixie Highway also affects staging. If we cannot park a truck and store materials on-site, we coordinate with neighbors, which we are used to doing. Call (954) 280-4413 for an exact quote. Estimates are free.

FAQs - Sliding & Patio Doors in Hobe Sound
Yes. The entire 33455 zip code falls within Martin County’s wind-borne debris region, so any new or replacement sliding door must be impact-rated or protected by an approved shutter system. On Jupiter Island, impact glazing is effectively required because architectural review boards rarely approve shutter systems for primary openings. On the mainland, older homes are sometimes grandfathered until a door is replaced or a sale triggers a wind mitigation inspection, but any new slider must meet current Florida Building Code. Call (954) 280-4413 for a free assessment of what your specific opening requires.
Access and staging add $200 to $600 on a typical mainland Hobe Sound install. If we can park the truck close and stage materials on the driveway, the job runs lean. If the lot is tight, the carport is enclosed, or there’s no side yard access, we need more time and more hands. On a recent job off Dixie Highway, we staged on the driveway, tarped the carport to protect the homeowner’s belongings, and used hand tools before 8 a.m. to keep noise down for the neighbors. We’ll tell you the staging cost in the quote, not after the job starts. Call (954) 280-4413 for a written estimate.
Because the rough opening in a 1970s CBS home was not built to modern impact-rated dimensions. Original aluminum sliders are thinner than today’s impact units, which use laminated glass and reinforced frames that are noticeably deeper. Trying to force an impact slider into the old opening creates a weak point, and that’s how water gets in. Modifying the rough opening, which typically means trimming back the interior finish and re-flashing the perimeter, adds $400 to $1,200 in most Hobe Sound mainland homes. It’s not optional if you want the warranty to hold. Call (954) 280-4413 and we’ll measure what you’ve got before we quote.
Usually, yes. Jupiter Island operates under strict architectural review standards, and replacing a sliding door is not treated as a like-for-like swap, even if the new door looks similar. The review board generally wants to see specifications for the impact rating, finish, glazing type, and often a door that matches the home’s architectural character. We’ve navigated this process for Jupiter Island homeowners many times. We provide the spec sheets and product data the review board asks for, and we quote doors that are designed to pass review the first time. Call (954) 280-4413 if you’re planning a replacement and want to avoid a rejection.
Sometimes, yes. If the frame is still straight, the rollers are decent, and the corrosion has not eaten through the aluminum, we can replace the insulated glass unit, or IGU, for $500 to $1,200 depending on size and glazing type. But if the frame is pitted and the hardware is failing, which is common within a decade in Hobe Sound’s salt air, you’re spending good money on a door that will keep failing. We’ll inspect it and tell you straight whether a glass replacement or a full door replacement is the better use of your money. Call (954) 280-4413 to schedule a free estimate.
