We’re TruePane Windows & Doors. Dale Kessler founded this company in 2008 because he got tired of watching out-of-true installs and voided warranties leave homeowners holding the bag. Our Impact Windows & Doors crews work Hobe Sound weekly, and we know the difference between a 1962 CBS ranch on a quarter-acre and a Jupiter Island estate with 40 feet of oceanfront glass. The permitting rhythm, the salt air, the original jalousie frames: none of it surprises us.
Why TruePane Windows & Doors Is Hobe Sound’s Preferred Impact Windows & Doors Company
We answer the phone. Not a voicemail tree, not a callback form. A live person picks up 24 hours a day, seven days a week, and that matters when a storm rolled through in the night and you’re standing in front of a cracked impact pane at dawn. Hobe Sound homeowners tell us they’ve called three companies before finding one that answers before the third ring. We’re that one.
Our technicians are background-checked and uniformed, and they measure every opening twice before quoting. No surprises on the bill. No second appointment left hanging because someone guessed wrong on rough opening dimensions. When we quote Andersen beside Pella beside ViewLux on paper, you see exactly what you’re buying before you spend a dollar.
Every job carries the Done Right Promise. If it isn’t done right, we make it right, with no paperwork fights and no arguing. The Keystone Standard means both manufacturer warranty layers are registered in writing, with durations stated, before the truck leaves your driveway. That’s not a sales pitch. That’s how Dale runs every install, from a single window replacement on Gomez Avenue to a full hurricane package on Jupiter Island.
Our Impact Windows & Doors Services in Hobe Sound
Hurricane Impact Windows
Impact windows are the permanent solution for Hobe Sound’s high-wind coastal zone. Unlike shutters, they don’t wait for you to haul panels out of the garage while the breeze picks up. We install impact-rated single-hung, casement, picture, and fixed-lite units, including large-format glass for Intracoastal-facing elevations where the wind load calculations get serious. A standard impact window replacement in a Hobe Sound CBS ranch runs $850-$1,900 per opening for mid-range lines like ECO Window Systems.
Impact Sliding Glass Doors
Sliders take the worst of it on Hobe Sound’s rear elevations, especially when the patio faces the Intracoastal. Salt pitting on tracks and rollers is a five-year problem here, not a twenty-year one. We install impact-rated sliding doors with marine-grade stainless rollers and hardware, sized and engineered for the wind zone. Expect $3,200-$7,500 for a quality impact slider in Hobe Sound, installed and permitted, depending on width and glass package.
Impact Entry & French Doors
Your front door is the first thing wind pressure tests during a storm, and a non-impact entry door on a Hobe Sound ranch is a code compliance issue waiting for a sale inspection to flag. We install impact-rated entry doors and French door systems that hold their seals and swing true, with heavy-gauge stainless hinges that won’t seize from salt exposure. A standard impact entry door in Hobe Sound runs $2,800-$6,000; French door sets run higher based on width and sightline glass.
Impact Garage Doors
A garage door that fails in a hurricane turns the whole house into a wind sail. Hobe Sound’s older ranch homes often have original non-rated garage doors that would fold under the pressure. We install and retrofit impact-rated garage door systems, including bracing packages that satisfy Martin County’s wind-load requirements without replacing an otherwise sound door. Budget $1,900-$4,800 depending on door size and whether full replacement or bracing is the right call.

Trusted Brands We Service in Hobe Sound
We’re an authorized installer for more than a dozen manufacturer lines, and for Hobe Sound customers we stock parts for the brands that dominate this market: ECO Window Systems. That means faster turnarounds on hardware replacements and warranty claims. You don’t want to wait three weeks for a replacement sash because a distributor in Miami has to special-order it. We keep what the local houses need, and we quote manufacturer lines side by side on paper so you can compare glass packages, U-values, and structural ratings without a sales rep hovering over your shoulder.
Common Impact Windows & Doors Problems We See in Hobe Sound Homes
- Salt-air pitting on aluminum frames and hinge hardware. Intracoastal-facing elevations in Hobe Sound chew through standard aluminum in 3-5 years. Sashes bind, locks seize, and window seals fail. We replace with marine-grade stainless hardware and powder-coated frames rated for coastal exposure.
- Jalousie-to-impact conversions done without full Martin County permits. We’ve red-tagged jobs where contractors from Palm Beach County assumed the permitting rhythm was the same. It isn’t. Martin County requires full wind-load calcs and a field inspection before final sign-off, and skipping that step costs homeowners weeks and rework dollars.
- Improper flashing on stucco block openings after jalousie removal. Original jalousie windows in Hobe Sound’s CBS ranches often sat directly on the stucco with no flashing tape. A straight swap without reframing the rough opening invites wind-driven rain into the wall cavity, and the mold shows up a year later. We flash every perimeter and use stainless fasteners on every jamb.
- Failed impact-rating compliance on estate glass walls. On Jupiter Island, vast glass expanses demand engineered large-format systems, not off-the-shelf units. When a standard impact window gets shoved into an opening rated for a custom engineered assembly, it fails wind-load review and the permit stalls. We specify to the opening, not to what’s sitting in a warehouse.
Pricing for Impact Windows & Doors in Hobe Sound, FL
Here are the ranges we quote for Hobe Sound work, based on current market rates and the openings we see across the US-1 corridor and over the bridge:
- Standard impact window replacement: $850-$1,900 per opening
- Jalousie-to-impact conversion (including reframing and flashing): $1,400-$2,800 per opening
- Impact sliding glass door: $3,200-$7,500
- Impact entry door: $2,800-$6,000
- Impact garage door (replacement or bracing): $1,900-$4,800
- Whole-home retrofit on a 1960s CBS ranch: $18,000-$45,000
What moves the number: opening count, the condition of your existing rough openings, whether we’re reframing jalousie cutouts, hardware grade (standard stainless vs. marine-grade), and glass package. The Jupiter Island side of the service area runs higher because engineered large-format assemblies carry a real cost. We give written, line-item quotes and fixed pricing with no change orders.

Hobe Sound’s Split Market: CBS Ranches and Jupiter Island Estates
Hobe Sound is the mainland gateway to Jupiter Island, one of the wealthiest barrier islands in the United States. That means window and door contractors here work a split you don’t see in Stuart or Tequesta: aging CBS ranch homes along the US-1 corridor needing code-compliant impact-glass upgrades, and oceanfront Jupiter Island estates requiring custom-engineered impact systems with marine-grade stainless hardware. Our crews might spend Monday reframing jalousie openings on a 1962 block home off Bridge Road and Thursday setting an engineered 12-foot slider on an oceanfront elevation. No single city in Martin or Palm Beach County presents that same pairing within one service radius, and we’ve built our Hobe Sound workflow around it.
On Olympus Drive, we replaced a 1962 CBS ranch’s original jalousie windows with ViewLux impact-rated casement and fixed-lite units. The job required full Martin County permits, wind-load calcs, and a field inspection, plus reframing the rough openings because the old louvered sashes sat directly on the stucco without flashing tape. Our crew sealed each jamb with stainless fasteners and flashed the perimeters before setting the argon-filled insulated glass units, cutting the homeowner’s AC load and ending the salt-air corrosion on the old aluminum screens.
Sandwiched between the Atlantic Ocean and the Indian River Lagoon section of the Intracoastal Waterway, Hobe Sound gets constant salt spray that accelerates corrosion on everything metal: window frames, screen hardware, door hinges, roller tracks. Martin County also sits within Florida’s high-wind coastal zone, which means almost every replacement window or exterior door permit triggers an impact-rating or shutter compliance review. That’s the reality we quote to: not a fast permit, not a standard hardware spec, and not a price that ignores either.

FAQs - Impact Windows & Doors in Hobe Sound
Martin County requires full permit, wind-load calculations, and a field inspection on virtually every replacement window or exterior door job, while Palm Beach County’s rhythm is generally faster and less documentation-heavy for standard retrofits. Contractors crossing the county line routinely underestimate this and get red-tagged. We pull the permits, schedule the inspections, and don’t call a job done until Martin County signs off. Call (772) 218-5890 if you’re unsure what your specific project will trigger.
You can add shutters, but jalousie windows on a Hobe Sound CBS ranch often don’t meet current Florida Building Code wind-load requirements even with shutter protection, because the louvered assemblies themselves can still fail under pressure and let water in. Impact glass is the permanent fix and eliminates the annual shutter-deployment hassle. We quote both options so you can compare actual numbers. Call (772) 218-5890 for a free estimate.
Yes, and measurably so. Original jalousie windows leak conditioned air constantly, and replacing them with argon-filled insulated glass units with low-E coatings typically cuts AC load by 15-25% on Hobe Sound’s block-wall ranches. The Olympus Drive job we completed with ViewLux casements saw the homeowner’s summer FPL bill drop noticeably in the first two months. Call (772) 218-5890 and we’ll walk you through what to expect for your specific floor plan.
We use marine-grade stainless steel hardware on every door we install on an Intracoastal-facing elevation in Hobe Sound: hinges, rollers, tracks, and fasteners. Standard aluminum hardware pits and seizes within 3-5 years in this salt-air environment. Marine-grade costs more upfront and lasts decades. We quote it by default for waterfront elevations, and we note it on the written estimate so you see the line item. Call (772) 218-5890 and tell us if your elevation faces the water.
Yes. Detached structures on Hobe Sound acreage still fall under Martin County’s wind-load requirements, and we handle the same permit, calc, and inspection process for ADUs, workshops, and outbuildings as we do for primary residences. Septic and well setbacks don’t change the window permitting, but they can affect access and staging, which we scope before quoting. Call (772) 218-5890 and we’ll come out to measure every opening on the property, including the detached ones.
