Custom Windows & Doors in Boca Raton - Free In-Home Measure, Written Price

Fast, Reliable Custom Windows & Doors Across Boca Raton

Custom window and door replacement in Boca Raton runs $800-$1,800 for most impact-rated openings, with full-home packages typically landing between $8,000 and $25,000. The HOA review process in Arvida-era communities adds 3-6 weeks before a permit can even be filed, and we handle that paperwork start to finish. If you live in a gated community like Boca West or Woodfield Country Club, the Architectural Review Committee has to approve your exact frame color, glass tint, and grille pattern before the city will touch your permit application.

Why TruePane Windows & Doors Is Boca Raton’s Preferred Custom Windows & Doors Company

TruePane Windows & Doors has been installing and replacing windows across South Florida since 2008, and our founder Dale Kessler built this company in 2008 around one rule: if the pane is not true, the job is not done. That standard matters in Boca Raton, where the housing stock is older, the HOA requirements are strict, and the salt air off the Atlantic eats aluminum frames faster than most homeowners expect. Our technicians are background-checked and uniformed. They measure every opening twice, and they quote manufacturer lines side by side on paper so you can see exactly what you’re buying.

We work in Boca Raton neighborhoods every week, from the country-club communities off Glades Road to the older condos lining the Intracoastal. We know which HOA boards want bronze Low-E tints and which ones insist on specific muntin grid profiles. Our crews are dispatched from our South Florida office, but they live and schedule locally, which means your measure, permit, and install all happen on a timeline we control. Reviews from Boca Raton customers consistently point to the same things: we show up when we say, we register both warranty layers before the truck leaves the driveway, and we stand behind the work for 90 days with no paperwork fights.

Our Custom Windows & Doors Services in Boca Raton

Every job here starts with the same question: what does your HOA require, and does your current glazing meet Palm Beach County’s wind-load code? From there, our Custom Windows & Doors team handles the full scope. Here are the four services Boca Raton homeowners call us for most.

Impact-Rated Window Replacement

Boca Raton sits in Palm Beach County’s coastal high-wind zone with design wind speeds around 150 mph. That means impact-rated glazing is effectively mandatory under the Florida Building Code, and most insurers here won’t write or renew a policy without it. We install impact windows from PGT, CGI, and ES Windows, all with Miami-Dade NOA or Florida Product Approval numbers matched to the specific opening. If your home still has original single-pane aluminum windows from the 1970s or 80s, those frames are now 40-50 years into a design life accelerated by salt exposure, and repair rarely makes economic sense.

Impact Sliding Glass Doors

The original single-track sliders in Boca Raton’s Arvida-built homes were never engineered for modern wind-load specs. In many cases, the aluminum jamb has honeycombed from Atlantic salt air to the point that the sash no longer seals, which drops your wind mitigation score and can make your home uninsurable with Citizens. We replace those with impact-rated sliders that carry the proper product approvals, and we file the permit only after your community’s ARC stamps the submittal. Most slider replacements are installed in two days once the unit arrives.

Custom-Sized Windows for HOA-Governed Communities

Boca Raton has dozens of gated communities, each with an Architectural Review Committee that must pre-approve the exact frame color, glass tint, and grille pattern before the city will accept a permit application. We build the submittal packet for you: color-matched frame samples, Low-E tint mockups, and grille profiles from the manufacturers that your community already approves. That’s the difference between a project that moves through review in three weeks and one that gets rejected twice and drags for months.

Wind Mitigation Upgrades

Many Boca Raton homeowners come to us after a wind mitigation inspection flagged their original windows or doors. The most common findings are corroded frames, non-impact glazing, and failed pressure tests on older sliders. We replace those openings with Florida Product Approval-rated units, and we register both manufacturer warranty layers in writing before the truck leaves the driveway. After installation, you can schedule a re-inspection with your insurer’s approved inspector. We don’t perform the inspections ourselves, but we make sure the glazing will pass.

Trusted Brands We Service in Boca Raton

We’re an authorized installer for more than a dozen manufacturer lines, and for Boca Raton’s coastal wind zone we typically recommend PGT, CGI, and ES Windows for impact-rated glazing. For entry doors, Therma-Tru holds up well against the humidity and salt the same way it does everywhere else in Florida, but the seal and threshold detailing matters here more than inland. We keep an inventory of common PGT and CGI hardware locally, which means replacement parts for serviced units don’t require a two-week factory lead time. If your existing windows are from a brand we don’t install, we’ll still tell you honestly whether it’s worth repairing or if you’re better off replacing the whole unit.

Common Custom Windows & Doors Problems We See in Boca Raton Homes

• Salt-corroded aluminum frames. The onshore Atlantic air in Boca Raton is far more concentrated than even 20 miles inland in western Palm Beach County. Original 1970s and 80s frames honeycomb from the inside, which means the window can look fine from the street while the jamb is structurally gone.
• HOA non-compliance red tags. Homeowners skip the pre-approval, pay for custom-sized impact windows, and then get red-tagged by Boca Raton code enforcement because no city permit can be issued without the ARC’s stamped submittal. We see this several times a year.
• Fogged insulated glass in Arvida-era sliders. The original single-track sliders in homes across 33433 and 33434 fail at the seal after decades of thermal cycling and salt exposure. Fogged glass means the seal is gone, and sealed glass means full unit replacement, not a repair.
• Wrong tint or grid pattern ordered. A contractor orders double-hung units with standard clear glass, but the HOA demands a specific bronze Low-E tint and 5/8-inch muntin grid. Now the homeowner waits six more weeks for a full reorder. We spec the ARC requirements before we order anything.

Pricing for Custom Windows & Doors in Boca Raton, FL

What Custom Windows & Doors Costs in Boca Raton

Here’s the honest range for Boca Raton’s market. Standard impact windows run $800-$1,500 per opening installed. Single-hung impact units run $900-$1,800. Large or architecturally custom openings run $2,500-$5,000. Whole-home packages start around $8,000 and climb past $25,000 for full tear-outs on Mediterranean-style estates in Woodfield Country Club or Broken Sound. What moves the price most is floor height and frame material: a second-story casement in a wind zone 5 exposure C opening costs more than a ground-floor double-hung in a protected courtyard. We measure every opening twice, quote your options in writing, and register both warranty layers before the truck leaves the driveway. The free in-home measure is the only way to get a real number, and there’s no pressure attached to it.

Florida Pays You Back

Several programs can offset the cost of impact-rated custom windows and doors in Boca Raton, but the final numbers come from the program administrators and your insurance carrier, not from us. The My Safe Florida Home program has offered matching grants up to $10,000 for qualifying wind-mitigation upgrades, and Florida’s sales-tax exemption applies to impact-resistant windows and doors at the point of sale. The federal 25C energy credit can return up to $600 per year on qualifying energy-efficient units. After a wind-mitigation inspection ($75-$150, arranged through your insurer), many homeowners see the windstorm portion of their premium drop by around 25%. We’ll give you the approval documentation your inspector needs, but we won’t quote you a premium credit we can’t guarantee.

One comparison worth making: impact windows versus hurricane shutters. Shutters cost less upfront, but they require someone to hang panels before every storm, and they do nothing for your home’s daily energy performance or resale value. Impact windows are permanent protection with no panels to store, and they qualify for the wind-mitigation credits that shutters only partially address. For a homeowner planning to stay in the house twenty more years, the permanent route usually makes more sense.

FAQs - Custom Windows & Doors in Boca Raton

How We Handle Boca Raton’s HOA Review Process

Boca Raton’s Arvida-era HOA communities were built on a promise of architectural consistency, and that promise still governs every exterior change today. The Architectural Review Committee in Boca West, Broken Sound, Woodfield Country Club, and St. Andrews must pre-approve the exact frame color, glass tint, and grille pattern before the city will even accept a permit application. That’s a bureaucratic gate that adds 3-6 weeks to every custom window or door project, a delay that contractors working in non-HOA Boynton Beach or Deerfield Beach never face. We’ve built our Boca Raton scheduling around that gate, not against it.

The sequence that works is this: we measure the openings and document the existing conditions, then we prepare the ARC submittal with color-matched frame samples, Low-E tint mockups, and grille profiles drawn from manufacturers your committee has already approved. We file the submittal, track it through review, and only order fabrication once we have the stamped approval. The units are custom-sized and take 4-6 weeks to fabricate, so the approval and the fabrication run on parallel tracks. By the time the windows arrive, the permit is ready, the ARC is satisfied, and the install happens in as fast as a single day once your units are on site. The alternative is what we see too often: a homeowner orders windows early, gets the approval late, and sits with a torn-open wall for weeks. We don’t let that happen.

At a 1978 Arvida home in Woodfield Country Club in 33434, our crew replaced a corroded original single-track sliding glass door with a PGT impact-rated slider, Miami-Dade NOA approved, after first submitting three color-matched frame samples and two Low-E glass tint mockups to the community’s ARC. The original jamb had salt-corroded to the point that the sash no longer sealed, which dropped the home’s wind mitigation score and made it uninsurable with Citizens. We filed the permit only after the ARC stamped approval, then installed the full door and new insulated glass unit in two days, restoring the owner’s insurance eligibility. That’s the order of operations we bring to every job in Boca Raton.
