AfterFast, Reliable Custom Windows & Doors Across West Palm Beach
Custom window and door work in West Palm Beach rarely goes the way the brochure promises. Older concrete block homes hide corroded steel casements, failed flashing, and rough openings that are not square. Newer custom builds demand oversized glass panels and curtain wall systems that have to hold up under salt air and hurricane season. TruePane Windows & Doors has been sorting out both ends of that spectrum for years. We measure every opening twice, quote manufacturer lines side by side on paper, and register both warranty layers before the truck leaves your driveway. If you’re in West Palm Beach and the opening is out of true, the job is not done. Call (386) 251-6745 for a free estimate.

We’re not the cheapest bid in West Palm Beach, and we won’t pretend to be. What we are is the last call a homeowner needs to make on a window or door. Our Custom Windows & Doors team has worked in El Cid, Flamingo Park, Northwood, and the mid-ring ranch neighborhoods long enough to know what’s behind the stucco before we open it. That matters when the Historic Preservation Board is reviewing your submittal and your insurance agent is waiting on wind mitigation paperwork.

Our Custom Windows & Doors Services in West Palm Beach
Architectural Grilles & SDLs
Simulated divided lites are not an aesthetic afterthought in West Palm Beach. They are the difference between an approved permit and a rejected one in the city’s historic districts. The West Palm Beach Historic Preservation Board routinely rejects impact window submittals that change the original divided-lite profile or frame finish. We spec purpose-built SDLs that match the original window’s muntin width and profile, so the COA review goes through clean. In Flamingo Park and El Cid, we’ve seen standard impact units bounced back because the grille profile was off by a quarter inch. We don’t let that happen.
Custom Shape Windows
Arched openings, radius tops, eyebrow windows, true circles. West Palm Beach’s Mediterranean Revival homes are full of them, and off-the-shelf rectangular units will not fit the masonry rough opening without ugly infill. We order custom shape windows cut to the exact template of your opening, with impact-rated glazing that carries Florida Product Approval. The grille pattern follows the radius, not the other way around. On a 1930s CBS home in El Cid, we rebuilt a spalled lintel and set a radius-top impact unit that cleared COA on the first submittal. That’s the standard.
Oversized Glass Panels
West Palm Beach sits directly on the Lake Worth Lagoon, with the Atlantic only miles east. Oversized glass panels on waterfront homes take full hurricane wind loads and salt spray at the same time. We engineer the panel size, thickness, and laminate interlayer to the exposure rating of your specific lot, not a generic county table. Tempered laminated glass, reinforced mullions, and structural silicone glazing are standard practice when the panel exceeds code maximums. If the panel is not true, the job is not done.
Commercial Storefront Glazing & Curtain Wall Systems
Clematis Street storefronts and the office buildings along Flagler Drive have one thing in common: salt air eats aluminum framing. We replace commercial storefront glazing and curtain wall systems with thermally broken, impact-rated assemblies that hold alignment and finish in West Palm Beach’s coastal environment. For commercial owners, the conversation is the same as residential: wind mitigation credits, insurance compliance, and workmanship in writing. We handle the engineering submittals, the permitting, and the install. One crew, one standard.

Common Custom Windows & Doors Problems We See in West Palm Beach Homes
- Historic COA rejections: The West Palm Beach Historic Preservation Board rejects impact window submittals that deviate from the original divided-lite profile or frame finish. Homeowners who started with a standard impact quote end up weeks or months into a permit stall because the contractor didn’t know the local process. We spec simulated divided-lite impact windows that clear COA on the first pass.
- Hidden damage behind 80-year-old steel casements: On a 1930s CBS Mediterranean Revival in El Cid, we opened the wall around a corroded steel casement to find failed flashing tape, undersized wood bucks, original 1930s wiring running through the jamb cavity, and a lintel with spalled concrete where leaked salt air had rusted the rebar. The window quote and the structural reality were two different numbers. We handle both.
- Corroded aluminum sliders in 1960s-1980s mid-ring homes: Failed weatherstripping and corroded jamb hardware let salt air reach the insulated glass unit’s edge seal. Fogged panes follow. By the time the homeowner notices, the unit no longer meets wind mitigation inspection standards. Repair is not the answer. Custom replacement is.
- Jalousie windows in original condition: The older core of West Palm Beach still has jalousie windows that provide essentially zero wind resistance. Insurance companies know it. A jalousie replacement with a Florida Product Approval impact unit is one of the fastest ways to earn wind mitigation credits and lower a premium. We measure for the masonry opening and order custom to fit.
Pricing for Custom Windows & Doors in West Palm Beach, FL
Custom window work in West Palm Beach runs on a different cost curve than production replacement. Architectural grilles and SDLs typically add $80 to $180 per window, depending on the profile and whether the lites are applied to the glass surface or structurally through the frame. Custom shape windows (radius tops, arches, circles) run $1,200 to $2,400 per unit for impact-rated glazing, before labor. Oversized glass panels start around $2,500 and climb with laminate interlayer thickness and engineering requirements. A full curtain wall or commercial storefront replacement is quoted per project, but expect $85 to $140 per square foot for engineered, impact-rated, thermally broken systems. West Palm Beach’s historic district work carries an additional factor: COA documentation, masonry retrofit, and period-correct finishes typically add 15% to 25% over a standard impact install in a newer home. We write every number into the contract before we open a wall. Call (386) 251-6745 for a free, written line-item quote. Estimates are free.

FAQs - Custom Windows & Doors in West Palm Beach
Yes, if your home is a locally designated historic property or sits within the El Cid, Flamingo Park, or Northwood historic districts, any exterior window or door change that alters the original opening, frame finish, or divided-lite profile requires a Certificate of Appropriateness. The Board reviews submittals against the original 1920s-1940s character of the structure. Standard impact units without simulated divided-lites or with the wrong frame color get rejected. We prepare COA submittals with period-correct grille profiles, frame finishes, and documented Florida Product Approval numbers so the review goes through without a stall. Call (386) 251-6745 if you’re unsure whether your property needs this. We’ll check the designation for you.
Because what’s behind the stucco is rarely what the original quote assumed. In 1940s CBS construction, original steel casements were often set into undersized wood bucks, with flashing that failed decades ago and concrete lintels that have spalled from rusted rebar. Once the rough opening is exposed, the contractor discovers structural repairs, wiring rerouting, and masonry rework that no window-only quote could have included. We avoid this by writing realistic allowances into the contract before we start, and by inspecting the opening before we write the final number. If we find something, we price it and get your written approval before touching it. You’ll never see a surprise line item on our bill. Call (386) 251-6745 for an inspection-first quote.
Yes. Wind mitigation credits apply to any West Palm Beach home with impact-rated windows carrying Florida Product Approval, regardless of historic status. The credits are tied to a wind mitigation inspection documenting the glazing, frame anchoring, and opening protection. For homes outside the historic districts, the process is simpler: we install Florida Product Approval impact units, document the install, and provide the paperwork for your inspector. For historic homes, the COA process runs parallel to the insurance process. Both paths lead to a credit, but the historic path requires the divided-lite and frame finish work we described. Call (386) 251-6745 and we’ll explain the exact documentation your carrier needs.
If the glass is fogged between the panes, the insulated glass unit’s edge seal has failed. That is a replacement, not a repair. If the frame shows white oxidation or pitting, the aluminum is corroding from salt air exposure, which means the weatherstripping is compromised and the frame’s structural flanges are weakening. If you can hear wind whistle through a closed window or feel a draft, the window no longer meets wind mitigation inspection standards. In West Palm Beach’s salt-air environment, corrosion accelerates faster than inland. A fogged or pitted window on a 1960s-1980s mid-ring home is a failed window. We’ll inspect it and write you a straight answer. Call (386) 251-6745.
A simulated divided-lite impact window uses a single pane of impact-rated laminated glass with grille bars applied to the interior and exterior surfaces, or with internal spacers between two panes, to replicate the look of true divided-lite windows without sacrificing impact performance. West Palm Beach’s Historic Preservation Board requires them because the original 1920s-1940s windows in El Cid, Flamingo Park, and Northwood had true divided-lites, and a flush modern unit without grilles changes the facade character the district exists to protect. We order SDL units with grille widths and profiles matched to the original windows in the home. That detail is the difference between an approved COA and a seven-month permit saga. Call (386) 251-6745 to see SDL samples before you commit.
