AfterFast, Reliable Custom Windows & Doors Across North Palm Beach
Custom window and door work in North Palm Beach usually costs between $1,800 and $14,000 per opening, depending on whether we’re setting a single architectural arch window or cutting out a corroded 1960s jalousie bank and reframing the rough opening for impact-rated casements. Most custom jobs here run 2 to 6 weeks from template to trim-out, though permit review and masonry work on older CBS homes can add time. If you’re in the Village of North Palm Beach or along Prosperity Farms Road or Lighthouse Drive, call (954) 280-4413 and a live person answers, day or night. We measure every opening twice, quote manufacturer lines side by side on paper, and register both warranty layers before the truck leaves your driveway.
North Palm Beach is not a generic suburb. The village was master-planned and built out almost entirely between 1957 and the mid-1970s, which means most homes still carry original jalousie louvered windows and hollow single-pane aluminum sliders. Those openings were never designed for modern impact-rated sashes, and decades of salt air off the Intracoastal have done exactly what salt air does. We know what’s behind those frames before we open the wall, because we have done it on hundreds of homes between US-1 and the water.
Why TruePane Windows & Doors Is North Palm Beach’s Preferred Custom Windows & Doors Company
We have been doing custom work in North Palm Beach long enough to know that no two openings here are the same. A 1963 ranch on Lighthouse Drive cuts differently than a canal-front split-level on Intracoastal Way. The block is drier, the frames less fused, the flashing less rotted. Crews that quote North Palm Beach work from a phone call and a satellite photo miss that. Our technicians walk the site, pull a frame or two where needed, and write a line-item quote that accounts for what the opening actually is, not what a database says it might be.
Homeowners in North Palm Beach call us because the company plans to be here in thirty years. That’s not marketing language. We sponsor county fairs and church roof funds in Palm Beach County, and Dale Kessler founded TruePane in 2008 out of a simple rule: if the pane is not true, the job is not done. Every North Palm Beach job carries the Done Right Promise and The Keystone Standard, which means both manufacturer warranty layers are registered in writing, durations stated, before our truck leaves your driveway. No paperwork fights. No arguing.
Our crews are background-checked and uniformed, trained as apprentices and moved up to journeymen, and they work in a customer’s home the way they would work in their own mother’s. When a North Palm Beach homeowner asks why a frame fused to the block, they get a straight answer, not a shrug and a change order. That’s the difference between a second-generation glazier’s craft tradition and a franchise playbook.
Our Custom Windows & Doors Services in North Palm Beach
Custom Shape Windows
North Palm Beach’s original 1950s and 60s floor plans often feature arched transoms, trapezoid clerestory banks, and half-round accent windows over entry doors. Replacements don’t come off a shelf. We template each opening in place, order the unit to the exact radius or angle, and set it with the same care as the original carpenter would have, except now with impact-rated laminated glass and marine-grade framing that meets Palm Beach County’s wind-borne debris code. Custom shape windows in North Palm Beach typically run $2,400 to $7,800 per unit depending on size, radius complexity, and whether the surrounding block needs re-pointing.
Commercial Storefront Glazing
Along US-1 and the retail corridors near Northlake Boulevard, commercial storefront glazing takes a beating from salt air and afternoon storms. We replace cracked impact-rated storefront panes, rebuild corroded aluminum mullions, and upgrade older non-rated entries to current code. Business owners in North Palm Beach call us because we keep parts for common storefront systems in stock and we quote the work honestly. A typical storefront reglaze here runs $900 to $3,400 per opening, with full entry system replacements starting around $6,000.
Curtain Wall Systems
Mid-rise condominiums along the Intracoastal in North Palm Beach use curtain wall systems that were engineered decades ago for wind loads and salt exposure that now exceed what the original weatherstripping and gaskets can handle. We replace failed insulated glass units, rebuild drainage channels, and reseal joints with marine-grade sealants rated for continuous salt spray. Because these are elevated openings, we bring in proper lift equipment and follow strict tie-off protocols. Curtain wall repair and reglazing in North Palm Beach typically runs $3,500 to $18,000 depending on access, glass size, and frame condition.
Architectural Grilles & SDLs
Homeowners in North Palm Beach who want the look of true divided lite without the maintenance often ask for simulated divided lites, or SDLs. We install architectural grilles between the glass panes or on the interior surface, matching the original sightlines of mid-century jalousie and awning windows where appropriate. For canal-front homes, we recommend SDLs with impact-rated laminated glass so the grille pattern doesn’t compromise the wind-borne debris rating. Expect $220 to $680 per sash for SDL upgrade work, depending on pattern density and glass type.
Trusted Brands We Service in North Palm Beach
TruePane Windows & Doors is an authorized installer for more than a dozen manufacturer lines, including, PGT, and CGI. For the custom work that dominates North Palm Beach’s older housing stock, we often quote ES Windows, ECO Window Systems side by side on paper, so a homeowner sees exactly what they are buying, line by line. We stock common replacement parts and sealants for the brands we service locally, which means a sagging Anderson sash on a Lighthouse Drive home doesn’t wait two weeks for a factory order when we can often repair it the same visit. If the part isn’t on the truck, we’ll tell you when it lands and we’ll be there when we say.
Common Custom Windows & Doors Problems We See in North Palm Beach Homes
- Fused aluminum frames in CBS block openings. Decades of Intracoastal salt spray corrode the original 1960s jalousie frames until they bond to the surrounding concrete block. Removal becomes a hammer-drill and cold-chisel job, not a pull-and-reset. This is the single biggest hidden labor cost on custom window work in North Palm Beach, and it is exactly why a phone quote without a site inspection will not hold.
- Undersized rough openings. The village’s original planned development used tight masonry openings sized for hollow single-pane sliders, not modern impact-rated sashes with insulated frames. Most custom work here requires reframing the rough opening with pressure-treated bucks before the new unit goes in. Skipping that step is how you get a jamb that binds in July and a seal that fails in three years.
- Hidden water intrusion on the Intracoastal side. Failed flashing tape and missing sill pans on canal-facing elevations rot jamb ends and cause seal failure in new insulated glass units. We find this on nearly every original opening we open along the water. The repair is straightforward: cut out the rotted wood, set a proper sill pan, flash the rough sill with marine-grade tape, and reset the unit. The damage only gets worse if it’s ignored.
- Original jalousie windows that cannot be permitted as-is. North Palm Beach falls within Palm Beach County’s wind-borne debris region, which means impact-resistant glazing or approved shutters are required on all new and replacement openings. Original louvered windows have zero impact rating and no path to compliance. Replacement is not optional; it’s code.
Pricing for Custom Windows & Doors in North Palm Beach, FL
A typical custom window or door replacement in North Palm Beach runs $1,800 to $14,000 per opening, depending on size, glass package, frame material, and how much masonry work the opening demands. Simple impact-rated double-hungs on a 1960s ranch off Prosperity Farms Road often land between $1,800 and $3,600 installed. Cutting out a fused jalousie bank on a canal-front elevation and reframing for impact casements can run $4,200 to $9,800 per assembly. Oversized fixed glass panels with custom templated shapes start around $3,500 and climb with size and access complexity.
What moves the number in North Palm Beach is the condition of the opening, not the window itself. If the original aluminum frame is fused to the block, expect demolition labor at $85 to $140 per hour, plus disposal fees and masonry re-pointing. If the opening needs a pressure-treated buck and reframing, add $300 to $900 per opening. We write these allowances into the contract before we start, and any surprise we find behind the wall gets priced and approved in writing before we touch it. Call (954) 280-4413 for a free estimate with no obligation and no change orders you didn’t sign for.

FAQs - Custom Windows & Doors in North Palm Beach
Because original 1960s aluminum jalousie frames in North Palm Beach often fuse to the surrounding CBS block from decades of Intracoastal salt exposure. Removing a fused frame requires a hammer drill and cold chisel at $85 to $140 per hour, plus masonry re-pointing and disposal fees, typically adding $400 to $1,200 per opening. The good news is that an inspector can tell you upfront whether your openings are fused or will pull clean. Call (954) 280-4413 for a free site inspection and written estimate that doesn’t hide the masonry line item.
Yes, under the Florida Building Code, North Palm Beach homes with approved hurricane shutters or other code-compliant protection on every opening may install non-impact windows in some cases, but the shutters must be in place, documented, and rated for the specific opening size. Most original jalousie homes in the village can’t take standard shutters without significant modification, which is why impact-rated replacement is the dominant job type here. We quote both paths on paper so you see the real cost difference before you choose.
In North Palm Beach, demolition of a fused aluminum frame in a CBS opening typically adds $400 to $1,200 per opening, where the same window swap in an inland town like Palm Beach Gardens rarely exceeds $150 in extra labor. The reason is the bi-directional salt corridor between the Intracoastal and the Atlantic, which corrodes frames twice as fast as communities a few miles west. A free inspection tells you whether your openings are in the fused category or the clean-pull category, and we’ll put that in writing before you sign.
For canal-front homes in North Palm Beach, we generally recommend impact-rated casements over double-hungs on water-facing elevations. Casements seal tighter against wind-driven rain and salt spray because the sash compresses against the frame when closed. They also carry higher design pressure ratings than double-hungs of the same size, which matters on exposed east-facing elevations. That said, double-hungs are practical for street-facing sides where the original opening is narrow and a casement would look out of scale. We’ll quote both options side by side on paper so you can decide based on your actual elevations.
Yes, in many North Palm Beach homes we replace only the insulated glass unit when the frame is sound, the seal has failed, and the opening is not in the wind-borne debris path that would require a full impact-rated replacement. On original aluminum frames, however, the frame is rarely fine after 40 years of salt air, and the code will often require the whole assembly to come out once we’re touching the opening. We’ll tell you which path applies to your house based on a free inspection, not a guess. Call (954) 280-4413 to schedule one.
If you live in North Palm Beach and you’re tired of looking through fogged panes or fighting a slider that binds every July, call TruePane Windows & Doors at (954) 280-4413. We’ll send a background-checked, uniformed technician to measure every opening twice, quote manufacturer lines side by side on paper, and explain exactly what’s behind your walls before we touch them. The estimate is free, the pricing is upfront, and the work is covered by the Done Right Promise and The Keystone Standard. We stand behind it.
