Custom Windows & Doors in South Palm Beach - Free In-Home Measure, Written Price

Fast, Reliable Custom Windows & Doors Across South Palm Beach

Custom window and door work in South Palm Beach carries a requirement almost nobody on the mainland deals with: before a single pane is ordered, the project has to pass an architectural review board that governs the exterior appearance of every condo tower in town. The board’s rules cover glass tint, frame color, mullion pattern, even the profile of a replacement sliding door track. Most custom window and door projects here run $1,800 to $9,500 depending on size, impact rating, and whether we can retrofit the opening or need a full frame replacement. Call (954) 280-4413 and we’ll walk you through what your building will actually approve.

We know the 1970s and 80s towers along South Ocean Boulevard and the couple of blocks west of A1A because we’ve filed submittals for them for years. We know which boards insist on bronze anodized extrusions, which ones will accept a modern thermally broken frame only if the sightlines match, and which ones are still catching up on Florida’s SB 4-D milestone inspection deadlines. That local knowledge is the difference between a job that gets approved in thirty days and one that sits in committee for six months. If you own a unit in South Palm Beach, you are not buying a window off a shelf. You’re buying a window that has to look like it has been there since 1978.

Why TruePane Windows & Doors Is South Palm Beach’s Preferred Custom Windows & Doors Company

Our Custom Windows & Doors work in South Palm Beach comes out of a shop run by Dale Kessler, a second-generation glazier who built this company on a rule that still hangs in the shop: if the pane is not true, the job is not done. We’re not a franchise with a rotating crew. We hire local, train apprentices into journeymen, and we plan to be in South Florida in thirty years. That matters when your condo board wants to know who is going to stand behind a 40-unit phased replacement.

South Palm Beach customers call us because the live person who answers the phone at (954) 280-4413 knows what a jalousie lanai enclosure is and why a board would flag it during a milestone inspection. Our technicians are background-checked and uniformed. They measure every opening twice and quote manufacturer lines side by side on paper so you see exactly what you are buying. Every job carries our Done Right Promise and The Keystone Standard: both manufacturer warranty layers registered in writing, durations stated, before the truck leaves the driveway.

We’ve replaced corroded original aluminum frames on towers where the salt air had pitted the metal so deeply that new impact sashes could not seal. We’ve matched discontinued bronze anodized finishes that no longer exist in any catalog. The boards in South Palm Beach trust us because our submittal packets are complete the first time: material samples, Florida Product Approval drawings, wind-load calculations, and a written finish-matching spec. That saves the board time and saves you months of back-and-forth.

Our Custom Windows & Doors Services in South Palm Beach

Custom Shape Windows

Older South Palm Beach towers have arched, radiused, and trapezoidal openings that were installed as architectural features in the late 1960s and 1970s. When those original single-pane aluminum units fail, nothing at the big-box store fits. We measure, template, and fabricate custom curved and geometric shapes to match the original opening exactly, then submit the drawings for architectural review. In South Palm Beach, that submission almost always includes a requirement that the new unit’s sightline matches the old one, which means custom-milled stops, matching mullion geometry, and often a finish match to the original anodized coating. Figure $2,200 to $6,800 per unit depending on shape complexity and impact rating, with lead times running four to eight weeks once the board signs off.

Commercial Storefront Glazing

South Palm Beach’s ground-floor commercial spaces and condo lobby entries need storefront glazing that can hold up to salt spray from both the Atlantic and the Intracoastal Waterway. We install and replace aluminum storefront systems, entry doors, and transom glass that meet Florida Product Approval for large-missile impact. The typical lobby or storefront entry replacement here runs $7,000 to $18,000 depending on size and whether the frame is salvageable. Corrosion at the base of these frames is common this close to the ocean, and we often find that partial retrofitting is not viable once we expose the sill. The architectural review board will want submittal drawings showing the new storefront’s finish and sightlines, and we file those with our permit package.

Curtain Wall Systems

Some of the newer mid-rise buildings in South Palm Beach use curtain wall glazing, and when a panel fails, the repair is not a simple sash swap. Curtain wall work in a barrier island environment demands exacting sealant joints and pressure-equalized drainage because the wind-driven salt water finds every gap. We handle curtain wall panel replacement, gasket renewal, and full system rehab on condominium and commercial facades. Residential curtain wall panel replacement in South Palm Beach typically runs $3,500 to $9,000 per panel depending on size, access, and whether a crane or swing stage is required. We coordinate with the board and building engineer to schedule the work with minimal disruption to residents.

Architectural Grilles & SDLs

This is the sub-service that separates South Palm Beach from nearly every other city we work in. The architectural review boards here frequently require simulated divided lites (SDLs) or true divided lites to preserve the exterior appearance of the original 1970s fenestration. We source and install interior and exterior grilles in the exact bar width, profile, and finish the board demands. On several towers, that means a 7/8-inch flat bar in a bronze anodized finish, installed as an exterior SDL over impact-rated insulated glass. Adding architectural grilles to a replacement window in South Palm Beach typically adds $110 to $260 per window, and the submittal packet must include a sample of the exact grille profile. We keep samples on hand for the most common board-approved profiles along South Ocean Boulevard.

Oversized Glass Panels

The oceanfront units in South Palm Beach were built to frame the view, and many have fixed picture windows six to ten feet wide. Replacing those with code-compliant impact glass changes the weight and the engineering. We handle oversized panel replacement with a structural review that accounts for the higher wind loads at elevation. Oversized impact glass panels in South Palm Beach typically run $3,800 to $11,000 installed, depending on panel size, floor height, and access. The board will want engineering drawings showing deflections and anchor details, and we prepare that as part of the submittal.

Trusted Brands We Service in South Palm Beach

We are an authorized installer for manufacturer lines that hold Florida Product Approval numbers accepted by South Palm Beach’s architectural review boards, including PGT, CGI, CWS, and ES Windows. When a board asks for a specific glass composition or a particular anodized finish, we quote those manufacturer lines side by side on paper so the board and the owner see exactly what is being purchased. We keep local parts inventory for common South Palm Beach tower applications, which shortens lead times after approval. If your building’s original windows were anodized aluminum from a now-defunct extruder, we work with regional finishers to color-match the coating. Most board-approved replacement packages in South Palm Beach run $900 to $2,600 per opening for materials and fabrication, with installation quoted separately.

Common Custom Windows & Doors Problems We See in South Palm Beach Homes

Salt air hits South Palm Beach from two directions. The Atlantic sits east of A1A and the Intracoastal runs along the west side of town, and every tower in between gets a constant bath of airborne salt. Here is what that does to windows and doors over forty years:

• Aluminum frame pitting and corrosion. Salt spray pits the original aluminum so deeply that new impact-rated sashes cannot seat against the frame. The board will often not approve a patch repair, which means full frame replacement with a matching sightline and finish. We see this on nearly every tower built between 1968 and 1985.
• Original jalousie lanai enclosures flagged during milestone inspections. The SB 4-D milestone inspection process is now forcing boards to address jalousie windows that leak air, water, and cannot support impact glazing. Boards want them replaced, but they also want the replacement to match the original louver geometry, which can delay approval for months while we source a compliant alternative.
• Seal failure caused by adjacent original single-pane sliders. When a unit replaces only the fixed windows and leaves the original single-pane slider in place, the slider flexes under wind load and transfers movement into the new insulated glass unit next to it. We flag this in every estimate because the seal failure that follows is not a manufacturing defect; it is a structural mismatch.
• Corroded sliding door tracks and rollers. The original sliding glass doors on older South Palm Beach towers have steel rollers that seize in the salt air. When the doors bind, residents force them, which bends the track and compromises the weather seal. Replacement doors need impact rating, a board-approved finish, and often a new sub-sill because the original is corroded through.
