Fast, Reliable Custom Windows & Doors Across Boca Raton
Custom windows and doors in Boca Raton run $1,800-$6,500 per opening for most residential work, and the job typically takes 3-6 weeks from first measure to final inspection once ARC and city permits clear. If you live in a deed-restricted community like Boca West, Broken Sound, or Woodfield, the approval process is the real timeline driver, and we build that buffer into every proposal so you’re not left waiting. Call (561) 264-1337 for a free estimate, and we’ll walk your project through both approval layers before we ever cut an opening.
We’ve been serving this city long enough to know that a custom window quote in Boca Raton is never just about glass and aluminum. It’s about the Architectural Review Committee submittal, the Florida Building Code wind-load calc, the salt-air corrosion on the existing frame, and the staging plan that fits a concrete-block ranch on a narrow side yard. Dale Kessler built TruePane Windows & Doors on a simple rule: if the pane is not true, the job is not done. That standard applies to every arched transom, oversized fixed panel, and divided-lite window we set in Boca Raton.
Key Takeaways:
- Most Boca Raton custom window and door projects need dual approval: HOA/ARC sign-off plus city permit. Budget 2-4 weeks for that alone.
- East Boca homes within a half-mile of the ocean need marine-grade stainless hardware and anodized or powder-coated finishes. West Boca frames fail years later.
- Custom shape windows, architectural grilles, and oversized panels are our core work here, not an add-on line item.
- Every job carries the Done Right Promise and The Keystone Standard: both manufacturer warranty layers registered in writing before the truck leaves.
Why TruePane Windows & Doors Is Boca Raton’s Preferred Custom Windows & Doors Company
We’re the crew Boca Raton homeowners call when the first bid came from someone who didn’t know the difference between a Boca West ARC submittal and a city permit application. That distinction matters here more than in Delray Beach or Deerfield Beach, because Boca Raton’s older planned communities enforce their own design standards on top of Palm Beach County code. Skip the HOA review, and the city won’t schedule the inspection. We’ve seen contractors lose weeks that way. We don’t let it happen to our customers.
Our Boca Raton customers tend to ask the same things: Is the crew background-checked? Will the same tech measure and install? Who registers the warranties? The answers are yes, yes, and we do it before the truck leaves the driveway. Both manufacturer warranty layers get registered in writing, with durations stated, on every job. That’s The Keystone Standard, and it’s been our practice since 2008 of community service across South Florida.
A live person answers our phone 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. When you call about a custom window or door in Boca Raton, you talk to someone who knows the local permit path, not a call center in another state. We’re a company that plans to be in this city in thirty years, which is why we hire local, train apprentices into journeymen, and sponsor county fairs and church roof funds. Our reputation in Boca Raton is built on showing up when we say, measuring twice, and standing behind the work in writing.
Dale Kessler founded this company in 2008 out of a principle that out-of-true installs and voided warranties were problems worth fixing permanently. That founding rule still governs every custom window we fabricate and every rough opening we flash in this city.
Our Custom Windows & Doors Services in Boca Raton
This page covers the full scope of our Custom Windows & Doors work, but in Boca Raton, three services carry the most weight: architectural grilles and simulated divided lites (SDLs) for HOA-approved aesthetics, custom shape windows for the arched and radius openings common in Mediterranean-style ranch homes, and oversized glass panels for the expansive Intracoastal and garden views that define the city’s high-end stock.
Architectural Grilles & SDLs
Boca Raton ARCs almost always require window and door styles that match the original architectural character of the community. That means true divided lite or simulated divided lite patterns, specific muntin widths, and approved frame colors. We spec grilles and SDLs from the manufacturer’s approved product line, match the color chip to the HOA’s palette, and include the product approval sheet and NOA numbers in the ARC submittal package. This is not an aesthetic afterthought here; it’s the difference between an approved permit and a stop-work order on Glades Road.

Custom Shape Windows
Boca Raton’s 1960s and 1970s ranches often feature arched transoms, radius top windows, and eyebrow openings that stock replacements can’t fill. We template every opening by hand, not from a manufacturer’s standard size chart, and we order the custom radius glass to match the original curve. A custom arch window in a Woodfield living room typically runs $2,400-$5,800 installed, depending on glass package and frame finish. The ARC submittal goes in with the shop drawings attached, so the committee sees exactly what they’re approving before we fabricate anything.

Oversized Glass Panels
Large fixed picture windows and sliding door panels are the signature upgrade in Boca Raton’s golf and country-club communities, where the view is often the whole point of the room. Oversized panels require heavier framing, thicker laminated glass, and wind-load calculations that account for the exact elevation and exposure of the home. A single oversized impact-rated picture window in Broken Sound can run $4,000-$9,000, and the structural mullion work is not something a handyman should attempt. We engineer the opening properly and flash it to Florida Building Code before the glass ever goes in.

Commercial Storefront Glazing & Curtain Wall Systems
Boca Raton’s commercial corridors along Federal Highway and Glades Road include storefronts and mid-rise offices that demand code-compliant glazing systems. We handle storefront glass, curtain wall sections, and replacement of failed insulated glass units in commercial frames. For commercial work, the permitting path is different, but the standard is the same: a square deal, no surprise line items, and a job that passes inspection the first time.

Trusted Brands We Service in Boca Raton
We’re an authorized installer for more than a dozen manufacturer lines, including PGT, CGI, and ES Windows, which means we can put side-by-side quotes on paper so you see exactly what you’re buying. For Boca Raton’s coastal condos and east-side homes, PGT and CGI impact-rated assemblies dominate the conversation. ES Windows offers European-style profiles that many of the city’s modern and custom homes favor. We also service and replace units from Marvin, Andersen, Pella, and Milgard, and we keep the local stocking and parts relationships that make turnaround on warranty glass faster for Boca Raton customers than it would be from a shop outside the area.
Common Custom Windows & Doors Problems We See in Boca Raton Homes
- Salt-air frame pitting east of Federal Highway. Aluminum frames within a half-mile of the ocean corrode years ahead of west Boca equivalents. We regularly see failed weatherstripping, pitted sills, and rollers that have seized from salt exposure. Stainless hardware and anodized finishes are standard practice on these jobs, not a premium upsell.
- Failed seals on original single-pane sliders in Arvida-era homes. The 1960s-1980s concrete-block stock across Boca West, Woodfield, and Addison Reserve was built with single-pane aluminum sliders and hollow-core doors. The insulated glass units in later retrofits often seal-fail now, leaving condensation between panes and argon gone. Replacement, not repair, is usually the answer.
- HOA/ARC rejections that stall the job. A custom window or door that fails ARC review means re-submittal, more waiting, and a crew that can’t schedule. We build the 2-4 week approval buffer into every proposal and submit product approval sheets, NOA numbers, and color chips up front so the committee sees a complete package.
- Impact-glass urgency driven by insurance pressure. Florida carriers are non-renewing policies or demanding proof of opening protection, especially for homes east of I-95. An impact-rated custom door or window upgrade in Boca Raton is often financially urgent, not just an aesthetic decision. We help you select a system that meets the wind-load requirements for your exact zone and elevation.
Pricing for Custom Windows & Doors in Boca Raton, FL
A custom window or door replacement in Boca Raton typically falls in these ranges, installed and permitted:
- Custom shape window (arched or radius): $2,400-$5,800
- Architectural grille or SDL package added to a standard window: $400-$1,200 per opening
- Oversized impact-rated picture window: $4,000-$9,000
- Impact-rated sliding glass door with marine-grade hardware: $3,500-$7,500

What moves the price in Boca Raton: whether the opening requires ARC submittal (we include that paperwork in the bid), whether the home is east of Federal Highway and needs marine-grade finishes, the glass package (impact, Low-E, laminated), and the condition of the rough opening. A tight side yard that restricts staging access can add labor hours, but we’ll tell you that on the estimate, not after the job starts. Call (561) 264-1337 for a free, written estimate with no change orders later.

FAQs - Custom Windows & Doors in Boca Raton
Plan on 2-4 weeks for ARC review in Boca Raton’s larger communities, and the city permit inspection won’t be scheduled until the HOA signs off. We submit your product approval sheets, NOA numbers, and color-chip match as a complete package on the first pass, which is the single biggest factor in avoiding a second or third review cycle. Call (561) 264-1337 and we’ll give you a realistic timeline for your specific community.
Legally, Florida Building Code wind-load requirements apply countywide, and many west Boca communities enforce impact or opening-protection standards even without oceanfront exposure. More practically, your insurance carrier may require proof of impact-rated openings to keep your policy, regardless of how far west you are. We’ll run the numbers for your address and show you the difference in cost between standard laminated and full impact-rated assemblies.
Almost never, and here’s why: a pitted frame isn’t structurally sound for a new custom glass unit, and it won’t pass inspection under Florida Building Code wind-load requirements. Reusing it means you’d be paying for custom glass set into a frame that’s already failing. The honest answer is full replacement with an anodized or powder-coated frame and stainless hardware, especially east of Federal Highway. Call (561) 264-1337 for a straight answer on your specific opening.
We write a staging plan into every Boca Raton proposal. That means the glass and frame arrive ready to carry directly to the opening, we keep the neighbor’s driveway clear, and we work inside the city’s noise ordinance hours. On a recent Woodfield job, the entire side yard stayed passable for the neighbor’s car while we replaced a 1970s sliding door. A constrained lot doesn’t change the quote much, but not planning for one changes the whole job.
Marine-grade stainless hardware, anodized finishes, high-rise glazing requirements, and impact-rated assemblies for oceanfront exposure all add cost. Condo jobs also often require coordination with the building’s engineering review and freight elevator schedules, and all of that shows up in the quote. The glass package itself is more expensive before we even factor the install. Call (561) 264-1337 for a line-item estimate that shows exactly where the money goes.
