AfterFast, Reliable Window Installation Across Hobe Sound
Window installation in Hobe Sound is rarely a simple swap. Most homes along the US-1 corridor and SE Bridge Road were built between the 1960s and 1980s with concrete block walls and original aluminum jalousie windows that no longer meet Martin County’s 150+ mph wind-load code. TruePane Windows & Doors has spent years setting impact-rated units into those exact openings, including the structural header work most contractors underquote or skip until the inspector flags it. If you live anywhere from the Intracoastal west to the Hobe Sound National Wildlife Refuge, call (813) 320-9346 and we’ll walk the job with you before you spend a dollar.
Why TruePane Windows & Doors Is Hobe Sound’s Preferred Window Installation Company
We answer the phone. A live person, 24 hours a day, not a callback service. That matters when you’re standing in a house with a corroded jalousie sash and salt air coming through the gap.
Dale Kessler founded TruePane in 2008 on a rule that still sits on the whiteboard: if the pane is not true, the job is not done. Our crews are background-checked and uniformed, and they measure every rough opening twice before any unit is ordered. More than a dozen manufacturer lines run through our shop, including Andersen, Pella, Marvin, and PGT, so we quote side by side on paper and register both warranty layers in writing before the truck leaves your driveway.
Hobe Sound homeowners call us because we know what the Martin County inspector will flag on a jalousie retrofit, what marine-grade hardware a home near Hobe Sound Beach actually needs, and why a lead time from Andersen or Pella can stretch past twelve weeks. That knowledge keeps permits moving and prices honest. Every job carries our 90-Day Done Right Promise under The Keystone Standard. You can read every page of this city’s building history in its window openings. We know how to work with it.
Our Window Installation Services in Hobe Sound
Jalousie-to-Impact Window Conversion
This is the work that defines Hobe Sound. The original jalousie rough openings in CBS ranch homes are non-standard sizes, and Martin County building inspectors routinely require a structural header change before any impact unit can be set. We pre-file the framing detail with the permit package so the inspection doesn’t stall mid-job. Prices for a full jalousie-to-impact conversion in Hobe Sound typically run $1,800 to $4,600 per opening, depending on header span and the chosen manufacturer line.
Casement Windows with Marine-Grade Hardware
For homes within half a mile of the Intracoastal, standard hardware fails in three to four years. We set casement windows with corrosion-resistant stainless or marine-grade hardware as standard on those jobs, not as an upsell. A casement replacement with marine-grade hardware in Hobe Sound runs $950 to $2,200 per unit installed. Fixed pricing is locked in writing before we order.
Fixed & Picture Windows for Intracoastal Views
If your home faces the water, you want glass that doesn’t haze from salt exposure and frames that don’t pit. We install fixed and picture windows with impact-rated laminated glass and fusion-welded frames sized to your existing opening or a new one, depending on the view and code requirements. Plan on $1,400 to $5,500 per unit for larger fixed and picture windows in Hobe Sound, with higher-end architectural lines from Marvin or Andersen at the top of that range.
Single & Double Hung
For the ranches and newer homes that favor traditional vertical sashes, we install single and double hung windows in both impact and non-impact ratings. Most Hobe Sound single and double hung replacements run $700 to $1,600 per window installed, with full-frame retrofit work on the higher end. We measure, quote, order, and set, all under one team.

Trusted Brands We Service in Hobe Sound
TruePane is an authorized installer for more than a dozen manufacturer lines, and we quote Andersen, Pella, and Marvin side by side on paper so you see the exact difference in glass, frame, and warranty. For coastal Hobe Sound properties, we regularly recommend PGT and CGI for their salt-air and wind-load engineering. We keep common replacement hardware and seal stock in our local service vehicles, which shortens turnaround for repairs and tune-ups across Hobe Sound, Port Salerno, and Stuart. If a brand is on your house today, we can service it or replace it with a line that fits the opening and the coastal exposure.
Common Window Installation Problems We See in Hobe Sound Homes
- Jalousie rough openings treated as simple swaps. A contractor quotes the job like a standard insert replacement, then the inspector demands a structural header and the price doubles mid-project. We pre-file header details so the quote you approve is the price you pay.
- Salt-air corrosion eating standard aluminum frames. Within half a mile of the Intracoastal, standard frames lose their seals and pit within three to four years. Hobe Sound homes near the water need corrosion-resistant frames and coated or marine-grade hardware from day one.
- Fogged glass from failed seals on original single-pane units. The older ranch homes along SE Bridge Road and the streets off US-1 still carry single-pane glass that fogs permanently once the seal fails. A new impact unit with a registered warranty is the durable fix, not a re-seal.
- Long-lead custom orders without a written fixed price. Custom millwork and architectural glass from Andersen or Pella can run past twelve weeks. A verbal estimate leaves you exposed to material price increases. We fix the price in writing before anything is ordered.
Pricing for Window Installation in Hobe Sound, FL
Window installation in Hobe Sound runs the full range because the housing stock does. A straightforward single hung replacement in a 1980s CBS ranch typically costs $700 to $1,600 per unit installed. A jalousie-to-impact conversion with structural header work runs $1,800 to $4,600 per opening. Fixed and picture windows for Intracoastal-facing walls run $1,400 to $5,500 per unit.

FAQs - Window Installation in Hobe Sound
Because the original 1960s and 1970s jalousie rough openings were framed for lightweight aluminum slat panels, not for the impact-rated units Martin County now mandates at 150+ mph design loads, and no modern impact window shares that rough-opening size. The code requires a structural header upgrade before the new unit can be installed. We pre-file the framing detail with the permit package so the inspection clears on schedule. Call (813) 320-9346 and we’ll tell you exactly what your openings need.
Salt air corrodes standard aluminum frames, sash hardware, and steel rollers within three to four years on any property within about half a mile of the water. In Hobe Sound that includes most of the streets east of US-1 and much of the SE Bridge Road corridor. We specify corrosion-resistant frames and marine-grade hardware as standard on those jobs, and the warranty registration reflects the coastal environment. Call (813) 320-9346 for a free coastal-condition assessment.
Lead time on custom impact windows from Andersen or Pella currently runs twelve to sixteen weeks from order approval, with architectural lines sometimes longer. We fix the full price in a written contract before placing any order, so material cost changes during the wait are not passed to you. The contract states both warranty layers and the 90-Day Done Right Promise in writing. Call (813) 320-9346 to review lines and lead times side by side.
You can replace individual jalousie slats as a short-term fix, but the original frames on Hobe Sound’s older CBS homes still fail Martin County’s current wind-load code and will not pass an inspection if any structural work is done elsewhere. Most homeowners replace jalousie units with impact-rated windows over one or two openings at a time. We’ll quote the conversion cost per opening and phase the work around your budget. Call (813) 320-9346 to start with a measure.
Because water-facing walls take the full design wind load at 150+ mph, so the glass pack, frame reinforcement, and anchoring schedule are heavier than an inland window, and the salt air demands marine-grade hardware and corrosion-resistant framing. The larger the glass area, the thicker the laminated impact package. On a four-by-six foot fixed unit, that difference is roughly $600 to $1,100 in materials alone. Call (813) 320-9346 for a written quote specific to your elevation and view.
