AfterFast, Reliable Custom Windows & Doors Across North Palm Beach
Custom window and door work in North Palm Beach is rarely a simple swap. Between the salt air off the Intracoastal, the 1955 to 1980 housing stock, and the code requirements that come with living inside Florida’s Wind-Borne Debris Region, most projects here involve tear-out, custom sizing, and county-level permits. TruePane Windows & Doors handles all of it. We quote manufacturer lines side by side on paper, pull the permits, and register both warranty layers before the truck leaves your driveway. If you’re weighing a replacement on a canal-front home or an unincorporated acreage lot, call (772) 794-8169 and we’ll walk the property with you.
Why TruePane Windows & Doors Is North Palm Beach’s Preferred Custom Windows & Doors Company
We’ve been answering the phone as a live person, 24 hours a day, since Dale Kessler founded this company on a principle that out-of-true installs and voided warranties were problems worth fixing permanently. North Palm Beach homeowners call us because the person on the other end knows what a jalousie window is, knows why an original aluminum slider on a canal-front wall has separated from its sill, and doesn’t need to look up the village’s wind zone on a chart. That’s years of glazing craft talking, not a franchise playbook.
The Done Right Promise applies to every job we do in North Palm Beach. If something isn’t right, we make it right. No paperwork fights, no arguing, no fine print that covers neither. We back that with The Keystone Standard: both manufacturer warranty layers registered in writing, durations stated, before we leave the driveway. When a North Palm Beach customer on Lighthouse Drive or Country Club Drive calls back, they get a straight answer from a company that plans to be in town in thirty years. Our technicians are background-checked, uniformed, and they measure every opening twice. That’s not a slogan. That’s how we keep a square deal square.
You can call (772) 794-8169 right now and a person will pick up. Not a voicemail tree, not a regional call center. That matters when a storm is coming and you need to know whether your openings are actually compliant.
Our Custom Windows & Doors Services in North Palm Beach
Most of what we do in North Palm Beach falls under the umbrella of Custom Windows & Doors work, but the village and the unincorporated acreage around it demand a few specialties more than others. Here’s what we handle most often.
Oversized Glass Panels
North Palm Beach has a particular concentration of wide canal-front and Intracoastal-facing openings, many of them original 1960s aluminum sliders that span 12 to 16 feet. Replacing those with a modern impact-rated unit means engineering the header, building new jamb extensions to match CBS block, and working with the county on wind-load documentation. We scope all of that before we quote, because an opening that large is not a drop-in replacement. It’s a structural conversation.
Custom Shape Windows
Ranch and split-level homes built between 1955 and 1980 in North Palm Beach often have eyebrow windows, octagonal vents, or half-rounds over the front entry that standard catalogs don’t cover. A jalousie tear-out on one of these homes usually reveals framing that was never meant for an insulated glass unit. We order custom radius and trapezoid sashes sized to the actual opening, not the nearest stock size, and we cut new buck framing so the result is true and square.
Architectural Grilles & SDLs
Simulated divided lites matter on North Palm Beach’s older homes, where the original window pattern is part of the house’s character. We match grille profiles, bar widths, and spacing to the existing architecture, and we do it on both the interior and exterior surfaces where the original design calls for it. On a 1960s ranch off Prosperity Farms Road, the difference between a flat, grille-less impact window and a properly matched SDL unit is the difference between a renovation that looks considered and one that looks cheap. We order the former.
Commercial Storefront Glazing and Curtain Wall Systems
North Palm Beach’s commercial strip along U.S. 1 and the low-rise office buildings near the PGA corridor need storefront glazing that can pass wind-load review and stand up to salt spray. Curtain wall systems on coastal exposure demand scheduled maintenance and, when panels fail, precise replacement with matching sightlines. We handle both for property owners who’d rather have one crew on the job than three.

Trusted Brands We Service in North Palm Beach
TruePane is an authorized installer for more than a dozen manufacturer lines, including, PGT, and CGI. For North Palm Beach homes, PGT and CGI come up constantly because their impact-rated product lines are engineered for exactly the coastal wind and salt conditions this village deals with. We also work with Ply Gem and CWS when the project calls for them. We stock parts and common hardware for these lines locally, which means a North Palm Beach repair doesn’t wait on a shipment from out of state. When you sit down for a quote, we put the manufacturer options on paper side by side so you see exactly what you’re buying and what each line costs.
Common Custom Windows & Doors Problems We See in North Palm Beach Homes
- Corroded sill-to-jamb corners on Intracoastal-facing walls. Salt-laden humidity eats aluminum at the corner joint first. We regularly find the frame separated from the sill by a quarter inch or more, which lets wind-driven rain get behind the stucco and into the wall cavity. That’s a structural problem, not a caulk problem.
- Jalousie windows that can’t meet current code. The original louvered glass on a 1960s North Palm Beach ranch offers almost no insulation value and fails impact-rated glazing requirements outright. Any replacement means a full tear-out and new buck framing to accept an insulated, code-compliant unit.
- Seized sliding door rollers on original aluminum sliders. Salt and sand work into the track, the rollers bind, and homeowners force the door until the frame twists. On a canal-front lot off Lighthouse Drive, we recently replaced a 16-foot original slider where the frame had separated from the sill by nearly half an inch and every roller was seized. The owners assumed a hardware fix would do. We documented the missing wind-load rating, pulled a permit that required a full impact-rated PGT slider with a fusion-welded frame and new flashing tape, and the home now meets current Florida Building Code for the first time since 1968.
- Undersized openings on detached garages and outbuildings. Larger lots in North Palm Beach often have outbuildings or garages that were built without permits and framed for openings that no standard impact window fits. That means custom sizing and county-level permit coordination before a single sash is ordered. We handle that scoping up front so the quote reflects the real job.
Pricing for Custom Windows & Doors in North Palm Beach, FL
Custom window and door work in North Palm Beach runs a wide span because the scope varies this much. A straightforward tear-out and replacement of a stock-size impact window on a village ranch typically runs $900 to $1,800 per opening, installed. A custom shape window, an oversized canal-front slider, or a unit on an unincorporated lot with septic and well setback complications will push higher. A 12 to 16 foot impact-rated sliding glass door with fusion-welded frame and custom jamb extensions generally lands between $6,500 and $14,000, and that’s for a single opening done right with permits pulled and both warranty layers registered. Architectural grilles and SDLs add $150 to $400 per sash depending on profile and finish. Every quote includes the permit, the manufacturer’s warranty registration, and our Done Right Promise. We give you written line-item pricing before you sign anything. Call (772) 794-8169 and we’ll schedule a free estimate on your property.

FAQs - Custom Windows & Doors in North Palm Beach
Yes. Window and door replacements that change the opening size, the glazing type, or the framing require a permit through Palm Beach County when the property falls outside the village’s permitting jurisdiction, and even inside village limits, any structural change to an exterior opening triggers review. We pull permits on every job that needs one, and we coordinate the wind-load documentation so the inspection passes the first time. Call (772) 794-8169 and we’ll tell you exactly what your specific property requires before we quote.
Sometimes, but not as often as homeowners hope. The original jalousie and single-pane aluminum windows on a 1960s ranch were set into thin buck framing that usually can’t accept a modern insulated glass unit without modification. When we do a full tear-out, we often need to install new jamb extensions and adjust the trim reveal. If the existing trim is in good shape and the reveal works, we’ll reuse it. If not, we’ll quote you new trim in the same profile. Either way, you’ll see it on the written estimate before you approve anything.
Florida Department of Health code requires that any structural improvement, including a new window or door opening, maintain a minimum 5-foot setback from the septic drain field and a 10-foot setback from the septic tank. On a North Palm Beach acreage lot, that can dictate where an oversized glass panel or a new door opening can go. We measure and flag setback conflicts during the estimate walk so the quote you get reflects a legal, permitted scope.
If the door is an original aluminum slider from the 1960s or 70s, the fog is the least of your problems. Those units were never wind-rated, and on an Intracoastal-facing wall, any repair that requires a permit will trigger a full impact-rated replacement. If the door is a modern impact-rated unit with a failed seal, we can often replace the insulated glass panel alone. The determining factor is whether the existing frame and glazing meet current Florida Building Code. Call (772) 794-8169 and we’ll tell you which situation you’re in, in plain terms.
It can. Adding living area or upgrading an unpermitted existing structure to code often triggers a reassessment, and insurance carriers, including Citizens, commonly require documentation of impact-rated openings before they’ll write or renew a policy. That’s not a reason to skip the work. It’s a reason to have the work done with permits and with warranty registration in writing, which is exactly how we do every job in North Palm Beach. We’ll point you to what the county and your insurer will ask for, and we’ll make sure the paperwork is there.
