AfterFast, Reliable Custom Windows & Doors Across West Palm Beach
Custom windows and doors in West Palm Beach are rarely a simple swap. This is a city where a 1927 Mediterranean Revival home in El Cid can sit three blocks from a 1963 concrete block ranch off Parker Avenue, and the two houses face completely different rules when it comes to glass, framing, and approval. We handle both, and everything between. Our crews measure every opening twice, file the paperwork that West Palm Beach actually requires, and register both warranty layers before the truck leaves your driveway. If you’re weighing options or just need a straight answer on cost, call (772) 794-8169. A live person picks up.
Why TruePane Windows & Doors Is West Palm Beach’s Preferred Custom Windows & Doors Company
Dale Kessler founded TruePane in 2008 on a rule he keeps on the whiteboard: if the pane is not true, the job is not done. That rule travels with every crew we send into Flamingo Park, El Cid, Prospect Park, and the newer subdivisions west of Military Trail. We’re not a franchise operation running crews out of a regional call center. We hire local, train apprentices into journeymen, and our technicians are background-checked and uniformed. They work in your house the way they’d work in their own mother’s.
West Palm Beach homeowners call us because we understand the dual-approval reality that most window companies learn about the hard way. Our work has passed Historic Preservation Board design review in Flamingo Park and Palm Beach County structural inspection on the same project, on schedule. We file the submittal packets, we track both approval queues, and we don’t tear out an opening until the paperwork is stamped. That’s not a selling point. It’s the only way to do this work without leaving a house exposed or a job half-finished waiting on a committee.
Our Done Right Promise covers workmanship with no fine print and no arguing. The Keystone Standard means both manufacturer warranty layers are registered in writing, with durations stated, before the truck leaves. And our Custom Windows & Doors team treats every opening the same way, whether it’s an architect-specified curtain wall or a single casement window in a 1930s sunroom.
Our Custom Windows & Doors Services in West Palm Beach
Architectural Grilles & SDLs
Simulated divided lites, or SDLs, are the most common request we field from historic-district homeowners in West Palm Beach. The Historic Preservation Board reviews replacement windows in Flamingo Park, El Cid, and Prospect Park against the original lite patterns, and a flat impact-rated window with no divided glass will fail review. We source SDL units from PGT, Andersen, and Marvin that carry both the correct divided-lite profile and a valid Florida Product Approval for Palm Beach County’s 150+ mph design wind speeds. The review packet includes elevation drawings that show the muntin bar width and lite count, and we file it on your behalf. The typical cost for SDL-configured impact windows in a West Palm Beach historic home runs $1,450 to $3,100 per opening, installed, depending on the original lite pattern and whether the existing frame is steel, wood, or masonry-set.
Custom Shape Windows
Arched, radius, octagonal, and fixed-picture windows in unusual dimensions are common in the city’s 1920s-to-1940s housing stock, and they’re almost never stocked off the shelf. We order each unit to the traced opening, which takes roughly three to five weeks from template to delivery. Custom shapes in West Palm Beach generally run $1,800 to $4,200 per window installed, with arched radii and true divided lites at the higher end. We template the opening before ordering so the glass fits on the first day of installation.
Oversized Glass Panels
Downtown condos and newer western subdivisions west of Jog Road increasingly use wide sliding glass door systems and large fixed picture windows, and those panels carry a real structural load requirement under Palm Beach County’s wind zone. We install large-format panels from ES Windows and CGI, and every panel is ordered with the correct Florida Product Approval documentation for the specific address. Oversized panel replacement in West Palm Beach runs $3,800 to $9,500 per opening depending on width, height, and whether it’s a fixed unit or a working door. HOA and condo association approvals can add one to three weeks, and we file those packets as part of the job, not as an afterthought.
Commercial Storefront Glazing & Curtain Wall Systems
For commercial properties along Clematis Street, Northwood Road, and the warehouse-district storefronts near Australian Avenue, we handle storefront glazing systems, aluminum entrances, and curtain wall restoration. Commercial landlords in West Palm Beach usually need us to work in occupied spaces, so we plan phased access and panel-by-panel removal. Salt-spray corrosion near the Intracoastal shortens the life of untreated commercial aluminum, so we specify anodized or PVC-clad frames for any opening within a few blocks of the water. Storefront glazing replacements run $65 to $135 per square foot installed, and curtain wall work is quoted after a full elevation survey.

Trusted Brands We Service in West Palm Beach
We’re an authorized installer for more than a dozen manufacturer lines, and for West Palm Beach work we typically specify PGT, CGI, ES Windows, and CWS because of the hurricane-impact requirements and the salt exposure near the Intracoastal. We stock local replacement hardware and weatherstripping for these lines, which means we’re not waiting on a freight shipment when a sash lock seizes or a roller binds. We quote manufacturer options side by side on paper, so you can see exactly what you’re buying and what each warranty covers.
Common Custom Windows & Doors Problems We See in West Palm Beach Homes
- HPB design review rejection on divided-lite mismatches: We regularly see homeowners who bought impact windows with flat glass, then failed Historic Preservation Board review in Flamingo Park or El Cid because the lite pattern didn’t match the 1920s original. The windows were correctly rated for wind, but the aesthetic review is separate and unrelenting. We reorder with proper SDLs and resubmit.
- Palm Beach County permit rejection on missing Florida Product Approval: A window can pass HPB review and still fail building permit plan review if it lacks current Florida Product Approval for the home’s wind zone. We check the product approval number against the county’s database before we order, not after.
- Salt-spray seizing on Intracoastal-adjacent hardware: Within a few blocks of the Intracoastal, standard aluminum hardware corrodes fast. Sash locks seize, jamb hinges bind, and weatherstripping crumbles. We specify marine-grade stainless hardware on every job within salt-spray distance, which costs more but lasts.
- Original steel casement frames rusted through: 1920s and 1930s steel casement windows in Mediterranean Revival homes rust at the sill and jambs. Surface painting doesn’t fix it. We pull the entire frame and set a modern impact-rated steel or thermally broken aluminum unit in the same masonry opening, which keeps the original wall opening size and structural load path.

FAQs - Custom Windows & Doors in West Palm Beach
Yes. Homes in Flamingo Park, El Cid, and Prospect Park require a Historic Preservation Board design review plus a separate Palm Beach County building permit with the Florida Product Approval documentation. Each review is its own queue with its own timeline, and an approval in one does not guarantee approval in the other. We file both, in the correct order, so you’re not left waiting. Call (772) 794-8169 to have us check your specific address.
A simulated divided lite, or SDL, window uses a single impact-rated glass pane with grilles applied to the interior and exterior surfaces to mimic the look of multiple individual panes. In West Palm Beach’s historic districts, the HPB requires the lite pattern to match the original divided-lite profile, typically a 6-over-6 or 8-over-1 configuration. SDL gives you that matched look with a single impact-rated lite behind it, which is the only way to pass both the aesthetic review and the wind code. We quote these side by side with true divided lite so you can see the cost difference.
Typically two to six weeks, though it can stretch longer if the HPB board meets monthly and your submittal misses the cutoff date by a day. Outside West Palm Beach, a standard window permit might clear in under a week. Here we budget the HPB design review and the county permit as two separate milestones, and we schedule tear-out only after both are stamped. The review time is what it is, but it shouldn’t leave your openings exposed. We plan around it.
Yes, and this is the standard approach we use on 1920s-to-1940s Mediterranean and Mission-style homes. We remove the rusted steel frame and set a modern steel or thermally broken aluminum impact-rated casement into the existing masonry opening, which preserves the structural load path and the room’s original proportions. Our crew did exactly this on a 1938 Mediterranean Revival home in Flamingo Park, matching a 6-over-6 lite pattern with Andersen Architectural Collection casement units, then scheduling the tear-out only after both the HPB approval and the county permit were stamped so the openings were never exposed for more than one day. Call (772) 794-8169 if you’d like us to look at your original frames.
For any home within a few blocks of the Intracoastal Waterway, we recommend anodized aluminum or PVC-clad frames with marine-grade stainless hardware, and we avoid standard mill-finish aluminum entirely. Salt spray in West Palm Beach corrodes standard aluminum sash locks, jamb hinges, and weatherstripping within two years. The upgrade adds cost, but it’s the difference between hardware that lasts twenty years and hardware that needs replacing on the next inspection. Call (772) 794-8169 for an exact quote on your specific location.
