Fast, Reliable Custom Windows & Doors Across Hobe Sound
Custom window and door work in Hobe Sound runs on two tracks: mainland ranch homes that need code-compliant impact glass before the next Martin County inspection, and Jupiter Island estates where an oversized pane has to hold its rating against salt air and a Category 4 wind field. TruePane handles both. Dale Kessler founded this company in 2008 on a rule that still hangs in the shop: if the pane is not true, the job is not done. For a fast, straight answer on your project, call (772) 218-5890. We schedule free estimates across Hobe Sound and know the difference between a Bridge Road CBS home and a beachfront spec house that needs marine-grade stainless on every hinge.
Why TruePane Windows & Doors Is Hobe Sound’s Preferred Custom Windows & Doors Company
We have spent years working the split market that defines this stretch of Martin County. The mainland side is mostly 1950s to 1980s concrete block ranchers with original jalousie windows that never met current Florida Building Code wind-load requirements. Cross the bridge toward Jupiter Island and the job changes entirely: vast glass expanses, engineered large-format impact systems, and hardware that has to survive direct ocean exposure. A crew that only knows one side of that equation will get the other side wrong. Our Custom Windows & Doors team quotes both pathways on paper, side by side, so you see exactly what you are buying before you sign.
TruePane has served local communities since 2008 through Dale’s second-generation glazier heritage. Every technician is background-checked and uniformed. We register both manufacturer warranty layers in writing before the truck leaves the driveway, and our Done Right Promise means if something is off, we fix it without paperwork fights. A live person answers our phone 24 hours a day, seven days a week. That matters in Hobe Sound, where a fogged seal on a custom arch window should not wait until Monday.
Our Custom Windows & Doors Services in Hobe Sound
Oversized Glass Panels
Open acreage lots and Intracoastal-facing elevations in Hobe Sound put real stress on large-format glass. A 12-foot fixed panel on a mainland lot with no windbreak has to hold grade-level wind-load uplift, and the math changes again when the same panel sits 200 yards from the dune line. We spec oversized panels with the right laminate, the right frame depth, and the right anchoring for your specific exposure zone. Most Hobe Sound oversized panel jobs run $2,800 to $9,500 installed, depending on square footage and whether full replacement framing is pulled into the order.

Custom Shape Windows
Hobe Sound’s older ranch homes often have arched or radius openings that do not match anything in a catalog. Off-the-shelf units either compromise the rough opening or force a stucco repair that turns a window swap into a masonry job. We measure every opening twice and order custom shapes built to the actual frame, not the nearest stock size. Trapezoids, half-rounds, eyebrow arches, and clipped corners are all standard territory for our shop. Custom shape windows in Hobe Sound typically run $900 to $3,200 per unit, with tempered glass and impact lamination adding to the figure.

Curtain Wall Systems
On Jupiter Island, curtain wall is often the only way to get the uninterrupted view the design calls for without sacrificing impact rating. These are engineered systems, not assembled window banks. Mullion depth, thermal break, and anchoring all have to be calculated for salt-air corrosion resistance and high-wind deflection. TruePane has installed and serviced curtain wall on estate properties along the Hobe Sound stretch of Jupiter Island, and we coordinate wind-load calculations and county inspections before a single panel is ordered. Expect $150 to $300 per square foot for a residential curtain wall system here, with marine-grade hardware specified on ocean-facing elevations.

Architectural Grilles & SDLs
Hobe Sound homeowners replacing jalousies in a 1960s ranch sometimes want the new impact windows to look like they were always there. Simulated divided lites and architectural grilles get you that. We spec SDL bars between the glass so cleaning stays simple and the exterior profile reads correct from Bridge Road. Grilles add $110 to $280 per window depending on pattern density, bar width, and finish. We quote the delta on paper so there is no surprise line item when the order is placed.

Trusted Brands We Service in Hobe Sound
TruePane is an authorized installer for more than a dozen manufacturer lines, and we pull side-by-side quotes so the homeowner sees what each brand actually costs. For Hobe Sound’s salt-air corridor, we often quote PGT impact lines against Andersen’s coastal-rated series, because the marine environment here punishes standard aluminum hardware faster than inland installers expect. We keep common replacement parts stocked for older Andersen and Pella units still holding on in Hobe Sound’s ranch homes, which shortens turnaround on service calls. Every manufacturer warranty layer gets registered in writing before our truck leaves the driveway. That is The Keystone Standard, and it is non-negotiable.
Common Custom Windows & Doors Problems We See in Hobe Sound Homes
- Salt-air hardware failure on Intracoastal elevations: Standard aluminum hinges and screen frames pit and bind within two seasons when they face the Indian River Lagoon side of Hobe Sound. We spec 316 marine-grade stainless or coated hardware on any elevation within sight of salt water.
- Jalousie-to-impact conversions done without Martin County permits: Crews crossing from Palm Beach County routinely underestimate this. Hobe Sound is under Martin County jurisdiction, and a jalousie swap triggers wind-load calculations, a full permit, and inspections. Skipping that means a stop-work order and double permit fees.
- Sash deflection on oversized windows on open acreage: Hobe Sound lots without windbreaks put more uplift on large-format glass than a typical subdivision install. Under-spec’d frames sag, seals fail after the first tropical storm, and the homeowner pays twice.
- Original louvered glass in 1950s-1980s ranch homes: A disproportionate share of Hobe Sound’s mainland housing stock still carries jalousie windows. They leak air, they will not meet wind-load code, and “just replacing the glass” is often not an option because the jamb system cannot hold an impact-rated unit.

FAQs - Custom Windows & Doors in Hobe Sound
Martin County requires a full permit, wind-load calculations, and inspections on virtually every replacement window or exterior door job, including jalousie-to-impact conversions. Palm Beach County crews moving north often miss this, and the homeowner pays for it in stop-work orders and re-inspection fees. TruePane pulls the Martin County permit on every Hobe Sound job before materials are ordered. Call (772) 218-5890 to confirm what your street and zone will require.
Any elevation facing the Indian River Lagoon needs 316 marine-grade stainless hardware, salt-resistant flashing systems, and a frame finish rated for coastal exposure. Standard aluminum pits and binds within two seasons. We spec corrosion-resistant hardware and seal every jamb with tape rated for salt-air contact. The exact spec on your side of Bridge Road is something we confirm during the free estimate.
In most Hobe Sound ranches, glass-only replacement is not possible. The jalousie frame system cannot hold an impact-rated unit and will not pass Martin County wind-load review. A full custom window order with a new engineered frame is the path to code compliance. That order typically runs $900 to $3,200 per opening, and we register warranties before the truck leaves. Call (772) 218-5890 for a line-item quote on your specific openings.
Yes. Jupiter Island properties sit in a higher wind-load exposure zone and face direct salt-air corrosion. A large-format panel that holds on a mainland acreage lot may not meet deflection limits on an oceanfront elevation. We order engineering for the specific property, not the generic zone. Oversized panels on Jupiter Island estates in Hobe Sound typically run $3,500 to $9,500 installed, with marine-grade anchoring specified throughout.
Sometimes. If your custom window or door project changes the building footprint, or if you are adding a detached structure with its own custom glazing, Martin County will review septic and well setbacks during permitting. We flag this before quoting so the estimate does not hide a surprise once construction starts. Call (772) 218-5890 and we will walk your lot with you before we put anything on paper.
