AfterFast, Reliable Window Replacement Across Hobe Sound
Window replacement in Hobe Sound typically runs $850-$2,400 per opening for impact-rated inserts, while full-frame replacements on mid-century CBS ranch homes land between $1,900 and $4,600 per window depending on jamb rework and finish. A whole-house job on a 1960s three-bedroom usually settles between $22,000 and $38,000. Call (772) 218-5890 for a written line-item quote, not a ballpark guess.
We’ve worked the US-1 corridor, the neighborhoods off Bridge Road, and the Intracoastal-facing elevations where salt air eats aluminum frames faster than anywhere else in Martin County. Our crews know what Martin County’s wind-load review demands before we order a single sash. That matters when you’re replacing original jalousie windows that haven’t been code-compliant since the 1990s. We measure twice, quote manufacturer lines side by side on paper, and register both warranty layers before the truck leaves your driveway. That’s the Keystone Standard, and it’s how Window Replacement gets done right in Hobe Sound.
Why TruePane Windows & Doors Is Hobe Sound’s Preferred Window Replacement Company
TruePane was founded in 2008 by second-generation glazier Dale Kessler, and the crew that shows up at your Hobe Sound home is background-checked, uniformed, and trained as apprentices into journeymen, not hired off a day-labor lot. We’re an authorized installer for more than a dozen manufacturer lines, including, and we quote them side by side on paper so you see exactly what you’re buying before you spend a dollar.
Hobe Sound customers call us because a live person answers the phone 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Not a voicemail tree, not a callback form. When a Jupiter Island estate manager calls about fogged glass on a beachfront elevation at 7 a.m., a human picks up. When a homeowner on SE Croton Avenue needs a code-compliance fix for a 1962 jalousie cottage, we schedule the site walk that same afternoon. Dale Kessler keeps one rule on the whiteboard: if the pane is not true, the job is not done. That governs every install we run in Hobe Sound, from a two-window insert to a forty-opening custom glazing package.
We stand behind the work with a Done Right Promise. If it’s not done right, we make it right. No paperwork fights, no arguing, no fine print that covers neither. And both manufacturer warranty layers are registered in writing, durations stated, before our truck leaves your driveway. The company that shows up in Hobe Sound is the same company that plans to be here in thirty years.
Our Window Replacement Services in Hobe Sound
Full Frame Replacement
Full-frame replacement is the standard fix for Hobe Sound’s 1950s-1980s concrete block ranch homes, where original jalousie jamb depths won’t accept a modern fusion-welded insert without reworking the rough opening. We tear out the old frame to the block, reset and flash the new unit, and pull permits with Martin County before demolition starts. On a 1960s CBS ranch off Bridge Road, we recently locked the full-frame replacement price in writing before ordering long-lead insulated glass units, then scheduled inspections around the six-week lead time, not around labor. On Hobe Sound homes, full-frame work typically runs $1,900-$4,600 per opening, including jamb rework, flashing, and interior trim.
Insert Window Replacement
When the existing frame is square and rot-free, an insert replacement drops a new energy-efficient sash into the original opening without disturbing interior trim or stucco. It’s the most economical route for Hobe Sound homeowners who want to retire single-pane aluminum windows without a full tear-out. Insert jobs in Hobe Sound commonly land between $850 and $2,400 per window for impact-rated units. The catch on older Hobe Sound homes is jamb depth. Original jalousie frames were built shallow, and a modern fusion-welded insert often won’t seat properly without some rework. We measure every opening twice and tell you honestly if an insert will work or if you need the full frame.
Storm Window Replacement
Storm windows buy time and cut drafts for Hobe Sound homeowners who aren’t ready for a full impact conversion. We install interior and exterior storm units that meet current Florida Building Code wind-load requirements where applicable, add a layer of insulation against summer heat, and protect original wood sashes on older Hobe Sound homes. Storm window replacement typically runs $350-$750 per window in Hobe Sound, depending on size and attachment hardware. For Intracoastal-facing elevations, we recommend marine-grade stainless hardware from the start. Standard aluminum corrodes within two years in that salt air, and we’d rather do it once.
Energy-Efficient Upgrade
Between the Atlantic and the Indian River Lagoon, Hobe Sound homes take heat from both sides. Low-E glass with argon fill cuts the solar gain that makes July electric bills in Martin County painful, and it stops the salt-air condensation that fogs standard double-pane seals prematurely. Energy-efficient upgrades in Hobe Sound cost $75-$180 per window over the base replacement price for low-E and argon, and the difference shows up on the first full summer bill. We quote Marvin, Milgard, Pella, and Jeld-Wen energy packages side by side, so you see the payback math before you sign.

No chasing a supply house, no “we’ll call you back.” A square deal means you know exactly what brand, model, and glass package you’re paying for, written on the quote.
Common Window Replacement Problems We See in Hobe Sound Homes
- Salt-corroded aluminum frames on Intracoastal elevations. Hobe Sound’s location between the Atlantic and the Indian River Lagoon means aluminum window frames, screen hardware, and hinges on water-facing elevations corrode far faster than inland. We specify marine-grade stainless hardware on any opening within sight of the water, because standard aluminum fails within two years in that environment.
- Original jalousie windows that Martin County won’t let you swap casually. A disproportionate share of Hobe Sound’s older homes still have original jalousie windows, and they’re not a simple swap. Martin County requires a full permit, wind-load calculations, and inspection, a process contractors accustomed to the faster Palm Beach County permitting rhythm routinely underestimate when they cross the county line.
- Fogged seals from salt-air condensation on older double-pane units. Hobe Sound’s humidity plus salt exposure shortens the life of standard double-pane seals, especially on east-facing elevations. Fog between the panes usually means the insulated glass unit has failed, and in most cases the sash can be reglazed without replacing the entire window.
- Jamb depth mismatches when contractors spec modern inserts for mid-century frames. A contractor who quotes a generic off-the-shelf impact window for a 1960s CBS ranch often discovers on demo day that the original jalousie jamb is too shallow for a fusion-welded insert. That turns a one-day insert job into a full-frame rework, and the price changes after tear-out has begun. We measure before we quote, so the price is fixed in writing before we order anything.

FAQs - Window Replacement in Hobe Sound
Yes, in most cases Martin County will accept a standard single-hung window paired with code-compliant shutters, but the permit still requires wind-load calculations and an inspection. What you cannot do is skip the permit because you’re adding shutters, Hobe Sound’s older jalousie homes draw extra scrutiny because the original openings were never engineered for modern glazing. Call (772) 218-5890 and we’ll pull the permit and coordinate the inspection so the work passes the first time.
Large-format custom impact systems for Jupiter Island estates are built to order, with engineered glass packages and marine-grade stainless hardware that carry six-to-ten-week factory lead times, while standard insert windows for a Stuart home might ship in two weeks. The permitting review on large custom glazing jobs also takes longer in Martin County. We lock the price in writing before we order and schedule inspections around the factory lead time, so you never sit with open rough openings waiting on a sash.
Fog between panes means the insulated glass unit’s seal has failed, and Hobe Sound’s salt-air humidity accelerates that failure, especially on Intracoastal-facing elevations. The sash can usually be reglazed without replacing the entire window frame. Call (772) 218-5890 and we’ll assess whether a reglaze or a full replacement makes sense, with the price on paper before we start.
Yes, Martin County requires a permit for insert window replacement when the new unit changes the opening’s wind-load rating, and on Hobe Sound homes built before 1990, that’s almost always the case. We pull the permit, file the wind-load calculations, and schedule the inspection as part of the job. Contractors who skip this step leave you with an unpermitted opening and an insurance problem if a storm ever tests it.
Yes, in some cases you can install code-compliant interior storm panels or exterior shutters over restored original jalousie windows, but Martin County will still require wind-load documentation. We’ve done this on Hobe Sound mid-century homes where the homeowner wanted to preserve the original louvered look. Call (772) 218-5890 and we’ll tell you what the county will accept before you spend a dollar on restoration.
