AfterTrusted Custom Windows & Doors for Palm Beach Homeowners
Custom windows and doors in Palm Beach rarely start as a simple want. They start with an opening that stock units will not fit, a view that deserves more glass than a standard frame allows, or a historic elevation that demands openings match the original architecture. For many years, TruePane Windows & Doors has fabricated and installed custom units that look like they were drawn for the house, because they were. Dale Kessler founded this company in 2008 on a rule that still governs every install: if the pane is not true, the job is not done.
We serve Palm Beach, West Palm Beach, Lake Worth Beach, and every community between. A live person answers our phone 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, not a voicemail tree and not a regional call center. When you call (850) 801-5596, you’ll reach someone who can talk real numbers for your project and set a free on-site estimate. Most custom window and door jobs are measured, quoted, and scheduled in a single visit.
What Our Custom Windows & Doors Service Includes
Every custom window and door job in Palm Beach is different, which is exactly why we build them that way. Here is what we do, and how we do it.
Custom Shape Windows
Custom shape windows are exactly what they sound like: windows built to a geometry that off-the-shelf units will not cover. Arches, circles, half-rounds, triangles, trapezoids, and radius corners all fall under this heading. In Palm Beach, we regularly see custom shapes on Mediterranean Revival and Spanish Colonial homes where arched window openings are part of the architectural character. TruePane fabricates these to your exact rough opening, with frame materials and glass packages matched to the rest of the house, and we build the templates on-site so the radius is measured from the actual opening, not from a guess on paper.
Commercial Storefront Glazing
Commercial storefront glazing covers the glass and aluminum framing systems on retail, office, and restaurant fronts. It is a different beast from residential glass: heavier sections, different thermal requirements, and code around impact rating that Palm Beach enforces carefully. We install and replace storefront systems for properties along Worth Avenue and throughout the Palm Beach commercial districts. Our techs measure every opening twice and quote manufacturer lines side by side on paper, so a building owner knows exactly what they are buying before any glass gets ordered.
Curtain Wall Systems
A curtain wall is a non-load-bearing exterior wall system that hangs off the building structure, usually floor-to-ceiling glass. You see these on modern condominiums and office buildings, and they carry a lot of engineering responsibility: wind load, water management, thermal movement, and impact rating all have to work together. TruePane installs and services curtain wall systems for high-rise properties, and we coordinate with structural engineers and the local building department so the permitting is not an afterthought. Our team has worked on curtain walls within a mile of the Intracoastal Waterway, where salt air and storm exposure make spec compliance a real deal.
Architectural Grilles & SDLs
Architectural grilles and SDLs, which stands for simulated divided lites, are the muntin patterns that give a window its traditional look. SDLs sit inside or on the glass surface to mimic true divided lites at a lower price point and with better thermal performance. TruePane works with homeowners who want the look of a classic Palm Beach estate window, such as a 6-over-6 or 9-lite pattern, matched to an energy-efficient insulated glass unit. We can match grille profiles and widths to existing windows on the house, which matters more than most people realize when the old and new windows sit on the same elevation.
Oversized Glass Panels
Oversized glass panels are single lites of glass large enough to require specialized handling, heavier framing, and careful structural review. Think of a 10-foot by 8-foot fixed view window facing the ocean, or a wall of glass across the back of a great room. These panels are heavy, sometimes 400 pounds or more per lite, and the wrong approach to lifting or setting them is a safety hazard. TruePane has the vacuum lift equipment and the crew to handle oversized panels properly, and we verify the header and load path before we ever order the glass. This is not a job for a two-man crew with suction cups and hope.

Brands We Service for Custom Windows & Doors
We are an authorized installer for more than a dozen manufacturer lines, and for custom work we regularly specify CWS, ES Windows, ECO Window Systems. CWS produces thermally broken aluminum frames with clean sightlines that suit the modern coastal homes we see along South Ocean Boulevard. ES Windows, based in Colombia, specializes in slim-profile aluminum that can hold oversized lites, which makes them a good fit for big fixed view panels. ECO Window Systems puts out an impact-rated product line engineered for South Florida’s wind codes is a frequent choice when homeowners want a large opening at a more moderate price point.
Our relationship with these manufacturers means we can quote exact lead times, register both warranty layers in writing before we leave the driveway, and install the product the way the manufacturer requires. That last point matters a lot. A custom window or door with a voided manufacturer warranty is just an expensive piece of glass. We install to manufacturer spec, every time, and we register every warranty layer so you are covered. Whether you have CWS, ES Windows, ECO Window Systems, or any other make, we can help.
Signs You Need Custom Windows & Doors Right Now
- Your existing window or door no longer operates the way it should. If a door binds in July when humidity swells the frame, or a window will not lock because the sash has drifted out of square, the opening has moved or the original install was off. In coastal Palm Beach, salt air accelerates the damage once a seal or joint starts to fail. A custom rebuild gets you back to an opening that works year-round.
- You’ve got condensation or fog between the glass panes. A failed seal lets moisture into the insulated glass unit. You cannot wipe it off, and it will not get better on its own. Once the seal fails, the insulating gas is gone and the unit’s thermal performance is shot. Custom replacement means we build the new insulated unit to the exact dimensions of the old frame, which is the only way to fix it right.
- You are planning a remodel or addition and the stock sizes do not fit. Contractors sometimes make the opening match whatever window is on the shelf. That is backwards. The opening should match the house, and the window should match the opening. If you are adding a wing or opening up a wall, custom windows and doors let you keep the architecture coherent instead of patchwork.
- You have a non-standard opening shape that stock units cannot cover. Arches, circles, ovals, and angled tops are common in Palm Beach’s older neighborhoods. A stock rectangular window in a half-round opening leaves a dead space above the unit that gets covered with infill, which always looks like a patch. A true custom shape window fills the opening the way the original builder intended.
- Your windows or doors predate current hurricane codes. Palm Beach sits in a high-velocity hurricane zone. If your openings were installed before the current Florida Building Code requirements, they may not meet today’s impact standards. This is about more than code compliance; it is about what a window does when a Category 4 is pushing on it. Custom impact-rated units are built and tested to keep the envelope intact.
Our Custom Windows & Doors Process - Step by Step
- 1
Call for a free estimate. You call (850) 801-5596. A live person answers, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. We ask about the opening, the issue, and the property. We do not route you to a call center and we do not ask you to fill out a form and wait.
- 2
On-site measurement and consultation. A background-checked, uniformed technician comes to your Palm Beach home. We measure every opening twice, because a sixteenth of an inch matters on a custom unit. We talk through options: frame material, glass package, impact rating, swing direction, grille pattern. We bring manufacturer samples and quote lines side by side on paper.
- 3
Written quote with everything itemized. You get a line-item quote before any work is scheduled. The price we quote is the price you pay. No surprise line items on the bill, no change orders slid onto the invoice later. If the scope changes after we open the wall, we show you the number before we do the work.
- 4
Fabrication and permitting. We pull the permits and coordinate with the Palm Beach building department. Custom units are fabricated to the measurements we took, then inspected in our shop before they ever go on a truck. We register both warranty layers in writing, with durations stated, before any install begins.
- 5
Installation and cleanup. Our crew installs the unit, verifies it is level, square, and true, then cleans the site. We do not leave shims, fasteners, or packaging behind. Once the job is done, we walk the opening with you. If the pane is not true, the job is not done, and we do not call it done until it is.
How Much Does Custom Windows & Doors Cost in Palm Beach?
Custom windows and doors in Palm Beach run a wide range, and the honest answer depends on what you are building. A custom shape window, such as an arch or circle in an impact-rated aluminum frame, typically runs $1,800 to $4,500 per unit installed. Custom oversized glass panels, the kind that turn a rear wall into a view wall, run anywhere from $6,000 to $25,000 depending on lite size, glass type, and whether the opening requires structural reinforcement. A custom entry door system, built to fit a non-standard rough opening and rated for hurricane winds, commonly runs $4,500 to $12,000 installed. These are real Palm Beach numbers, not national averages pulled from a website.
What drives the price: the size of the opening, the frame material, whether the unit must be impact rated, the glass package (low-E, tinted, laminated, or a combination), and whether the existing opening needs correction. An opening that is out of square adds labor, because the correct fix is not shims and caulk; it is reframing the rough opening so the new unit sits true. How to avoid overpaying: get a line-item quote, ask that both manufacturer warranty layers be registered in writing, and make sure the quote includes permits and haul-off of the old unit. That is all standard with us, and our free estimate includes all of it, on paper, so there is nothing to guess at when the work starts.

Frequently Asked Questions - Custom Windows & Doors in Palm Beach
Custom windows and doors are units built to the exact dimensions, shape, and performance specifications of a specific opening in a specific building. They are not pulled from a warehouse shelf or ordered from a standard size chart. In Palm Beach, custom work is common on older homes with non-standard openings, modern homes with oversized view walls, and any project where the homeowner wants the opening to match the architecture rather than the other way around. TruePane fabricates and installs custom units with frame, glass, and hardware choices matched to your home.
Call (850) 801-5596 to talk about your opening with someone who knows what questions to ask.
Most custom windows and doors in Palm Beach take 6 to 10 weeks from final measurement to installation. The lead time depends on the manufacturer, the glass package, and whether the unit requires impact certification. Some custom shape windows and SDL packages take longer. We quote lead times in writing at the time of your estimate, and we schedule the install when the fabrication is confirmed, not before.
If your project is time-sensitive, call (850) 801-5596 and we’ll tell you the current lead times for the product lines that fit your opening.
Smaller custom shape windows start around $1,800 per unit installed; full custom door systems and oversized glass panels can run $6,000 to $25,000 depending on scope. The factors are opening size, frame material, impact rating, glass package, and whether the opening needs structural correction. Our written quote is itemized, and the price we quote is the price you pay. No change orders, no surprise line items.
Call (850) 801-5596 for an exact quote on your specific opening. Estimates are free.
Yes. We are an authorized installer for CWS and ES Windows, and we work on their custom lines regularly in Palm Beach. Our team knows the frame systems, the hardware, and the installation tolerances both manufacturers require. We also service ECO Window Systems products. If your windows or doors came from a different manufacturer, we can tell you whether the unit can be serviced or should be replaced, and we’ll quote it honestly either way.
Call (850) 801-5596 and tell us what brand you have. We’ll give you a straight answer on whether it can be fixed.
Yes. A broken or failing window or door on the exterior of your Palm Beach home is a security and weather issue, not a cosmetic one. We answer the phone 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, and we prioritize emergency calls where a home is exposed to weather or potential entry. If we cannot fabricate a custom replacement immediately, we can board and secure the opening until the new unit arrives. A live person is always on the other end of (850) 801-5596.
Every job carries the Done Right Promise: if it is not done right, we make it right, with no paperwork and no arguing. On top of that, The Keystone Standard means both manufacturer warranty layers are registered in writing, with durations stated, before the truck leaves your driveway. We do not let a warranty lapse because a registration form never got filed. That is a real problem in this industry, and it is one of the reasons Dale Kessler started this company.
Clear the area around the opening on both the interior and exterior. Move furniture, rugs, and wall hangings at least 6 feet back so our crew has room to work and set up. For oversized panels, make sure the access path from the truck to the opening is clear, including gates and landscaping. Remove curtains or blinds from the window or door being replaced. We will cover floors and protect surfaces, but a clear work area makes the install faster and safer. We will also go over any prep specific to your job when we schedule the install.
