AfterFast, Reliable Custom Windows & Doors Across Palm Beach
Custom window and Palm Beach Door Installation work runs on a different set of rules than anywhere else in South Florida. Most projects on the island take 8 to 16 weeks from approved drawings to installation, and the schedule is driven by ARCOM design review and manufacturer lead times, not by how many crews we can field. We know this because we’ve worked the island’s historic districts and oceanfront estates long enough to understand that a missed detail in the submittal package costs months, not days. If you’re planning a replacement or new build in Palm Beach, call (786) 829-6722 and we’ll walk you through what your specific project actually requires.
Why TruePane Windows & Doors Is Palm Beach’s Preferred Custom Windows & Doors Company
Dale Kessler founded TruePane in 2008 after decades of watching homeowners pay twice: once for the window, and again to fix the installation. The rule on his whiteboard has not changed since: if the pane is not true, the job is not done. That standard matters more in Palm Beach than almost anywhere, because the island’s ARCOM review process and salt-air environment punish shortcuts in ways a mainland subdivision never will.
Our Custom Windows & Doors team has completed work on Mizner-era estates, mid-century oceanfront homes, and new ultra-luxury builds across the island. We photograph and measure existing fenestration before anything is removed, submit shop drawings that clear ARCOM review without resubmittal, and register both manufacturer warranty layers in writing before the truck leaves your driveway. The Done Right Promise covers every job, and we do not argue about it. Our crews are background-checked, uniformed, and trained to work in a Palm Beach home the way they would work in their own mother’s house.
We serve all of Palm Beach, from the Estate Section down to the South End, and we schedule with the understanding that many of our island clients split their year between Florida and points north. We work around your calendar, not the other way around.
Our Custom Windows & Doors Services in Palm Beach
Custom Shape Windows
Arched, radius, oval, and curved-top windows are the architectural language of Addison Mizner’s Palm Beach, and they are the first casualty of a catalog-minded installer. Standard Impact Windows & Doors in Palm Beach do not come in true radius profiles that match 1920s steel casement geometry. We fabricate custom shape windows in impact-rated laminated glass with muntin profiles, glass tint, and frame dimensions matched to ARCOM’s historical compatibility standards. On Worth Avenue estates and along South Ocean Boulevard, this has meant replicating original divided-light patterns down to an eighth of an inch.
Architectural Grilles & SDLs
The Palm Beach ARCOM review process routinely demands that replacement windows replicate original divided-light muntin profiles, glass tint, and opening geometry before approval is granted. Simulated divided lites, or SDLs, are the standard solution, but the profile depth, width, and finish have to match the original. We document every detail of the existing fenestration before removal, then coordinate with your architect to submit shop drawings that pass review the first time. A stop-work order on a Palm Beach estate is an expensive education in the difference between catalog SDLs and true custom grille work.
Oversized Glass Panels
Oceanfront homes in Palm Beach push design-pressure ratings to levels that eliminate most off-the-shelf product lines. Fixed oversized panels on direct oceanfront facades often require laminated glass in the 3/4-inch to 1-inch range, with framing systems engineered for wind loads well beyond what a standard Florida product will carry. We have installed panels exceeding 12 feet in width on Intracoastal-facing walls and oceanfront terraces in the Estate Section, each one fabricated to the specific design-pressure calculation for that elevation, not a generic coastal spec.
Commercial Storefront Glazing & Curtain Wall Systems
Worth Avenue storefronts and Palm Beach’s commercial buildings face a different set of constraints: aesthetics that satisfy the town’s design review, glazing that holds up to Atlantic salt air, and installation windows that respect operating businesses. Our Custom Windows & Doors division handles storefront glazing and curtain wall systems with the same documentation discipline we bring to residential work. Marine-grade finishes and stainless hardware are standard, because aluminum that pits within three seasons is a warranty claim waiting to happen, and we do not install work we will have to redo.

Trusted Brands We Service in Palm Beach
We are an authorized installer for more than a dozen manufacturer lines, including, PGT, and CGI. In Palm Beach specifically, we recommend and install a narrower set: Andersen for traditional divided-light looks on landmarked homes, Marvin for custom radius and arched units, and PGT or CGI for high design-pressure oceanfront requirements. We quote manufacturer lines side by side on paper so you can see the actual cost difference, and we register both warranty layers in writing before the work begins. No homeowner should discover after the fact that their installation voided their glass warranty.
Common Custom Windows & Doors Problems We See in Palm Beach Homes
- ARCOM rejection of off-the-shelf impact windows. Standard impact units do not match Mizner-era muntin profiles or glass tint. The Architectural Commission requires documentation and replication of original fenestration details, and a rejected submittal means resubmission cycles that stretch schedules by months.
- Salt-air corrosion of standard hardware and frames. Palm Beach sits at the center of South Florida’s salt-air corrosion belt. Non-marine anodized aluminum and non-stainless hardware pit within a few seasons, causing seal failure and seized operators on oceanfront and Intracoastal elevations.
- Catalog-sized units forced into non-standard rough openings. Original steel casement and arched openings on 1920s and 1930s homes rarely match any catalog dimension. Improperly flashed and braced catalog units violate design-pressure ratings on oceanfront facades, and the failures show up in the first hurricane season.
- Missing documentation before removal. Installers who pull original windows on landmarked Palm Beach estates without photographing and measuring every detail of the existing sash, jamb, and glazing geometry create a documentation gap that ARCOM will not overlook. That gap causes resubmittals and stop-work situations on projects where a single set of french doors can exceed six figures.
Pricing for Custom Windows & Doors in Palm Beach, FL
Custom work in Palm Beach is priced differently than the rest of South Florida, and there is no honest way around that. A typical custom shape impact window in Palm Beach runs $2,400 to $6,800 per unit depending on size, radius complexity, and design-pressure rating. Architectural SDL grille systems add $400 to $1,500 per opening. Oversized fixed oceanfront panels run $8,000 to $25,000 per panel when high design pressures and 3/4-inch laminated glass are involved. A full Mizner-era estate fenestration replacement, where every opening is custom-fabricated and ARCOM-documented, commonly lands between $150,000 and $450,000.
| Work Scope | Typical Palm Beach Range |
|---|---|
| Custom arched impact window (per unit) | $2,400 - $6,800 |
| Architectural SDL grille upgrade (per opening) | $400 - $1,500 |
| Oversized oceanfront fixed panel | $8,000 - $25,000 |
| Full estate fenestration replacement | $150,000 - $450,000 |

FAQs - Custom Windows & Doors in Palm Beach
ARCOM review adds 4 to 10 weeks to a Palm Beach window or door project, depending on whether the property falls under Landmarks Preservation Commission jurisdiction as well. The submittal, review, and possible resubmittal cycle runs before any fabrication can begin, and fabricators will not start cutting glass until approvals are in hand. We handle the documentation and submittal package as part of the job, and we schedule around your seasonal calendar. Call (786) 829-6722 to get a realistic timeline for your specific property.
Off-the-shelf impact windows fail ARCOM review because their muntin profiles, frame geometry, and glass tint do not match the original 1920s and 1930s fenestration that the town requires to be replicated. ARCOM’s historical compatibility standards demand documentation of the existing sash, jamb, muntin, and glazing details before approval, and standard catalog units simply do not carry those profiles. Custom-fabricated, historically sympathetic impact units are the only viable route on landmarked estates.
On Palm Beach’s direct oceanfront and Intracoastal-facing elevations, marine-grade anodized or painted finishes and solid stainless steel hardware are the baseline, not an upgrade. Standard anodized aluminum and non-stainless hardware pit and corrode within a few seasons in the island’s salt-air belt, leading to seal failure and seized operators. We spec marine finishes and stainless fasteners on every coastal elevation as a matter of course.
Design-pressure ratings on direct oceanfront facades in Palm Beach push window and door engineering to levels that eliminate most standard product lines. Oversized panels, multi-slide doors, and fixed glazing on exposed elevations require laminated glass in the 3/4-inch to 1-inch range with frame systems engineered to the specific wind load calculation for that elevation. We size custom units to your property’s exact design-pressure requirements, not a generic coastal spec.
A contractor should provide a photographic and dimensional record of every existing sash, jamb, muntin profile, glass tint, and hardware detail before removing any Mizner-era window in Palm Beach. ARCOM requires this documentation as the basis for the replacement submittal, and any gap in that record will trigger resubmittals or stop-work orders. We document everything before demolition day, and we submit shop drawings that clear review without resubmittal.
