AfterFast, Reliable Window Replacement Across Hobe Sound
Window replacement in Hobe Sound runs $900 to $3,200 per opening for a standard insert, and $1,800 to $6,500 per opening when a full frame replacement is required. Most jobs we schedule in Hobe Sound are completed within one to three days once permits clear. If you’re east of US-1, near the Intracoastal, the salt air adds a set of material requirements most out-of-town crews miss. Call (754) 324-4646 for a written estimate, and we’ll measure twice before we quote once.
We’re TruePane Windows & Doors, and we’ve been setting windows on the Treasure Coast long enough to know that a Hobe Sound home is not a Stuart home is not a Jupiter home. The housing stock changes block by block here, from 1960s CBS ranches off Bridge Road to oceanfront estates across from Jupiter Island. Our crews know what they’re looking at when they pull up to your driveway.
Why TruePane Windows & Doors Is Hobe Sound’s Preferred Window Replacement Company
Hobe Sound homeowners call us because we do not flinch at Martin County’s permitting process. Every permitted window replacement here must clear a separate NOA verification step, where inspectors match the Florida Product Approval number on the installed unit exactly to the permit documents. That is a stricter field check than in Palm Beach or St. Lucie counties, and it routinely snags out-of-area crews who are used to looser field approvals. We pre-verify every approval number before the truck leaves our yard. When the inspector arrives, the paperwork already lines up.
Our Window Replacement team has handled hundreds of installs across unincorporated Hobe Sound, from the streets off Dixie Highway up to the neighborhoods near Hobe Sound Elementary. We do not send a different crew every week. The same local technicians measure, install, and come back if anything needs attention. Dale Kessler founded this company on a rule he keeps on the whiteboard to this day: if the pane is not true, the job is not done.
When you call, a live person answers. Not a voicemail tree, not a callback form. If you need someone to look at a fogged window on a Saturday morning, we pick up the phone.
Our Window Replacement Services in Hobe Sound
Not every window job in Hobe Sound looks the same. A 1974 CBS ranch off Bridge Road needs different work than a 2015 custom home on a canal off the Intracoastal. We quote each job on paper, side by side, so you can see what you’re buying and what it costs.
Full Frame Replacement
When the rough opening has settled, rotted, or was never square to begin with, an insert will not fix it. Full frame replacement means removing the entire old window down to the studs, re-flashing the opening, and setting a new unit that actually fits. This is the fix for Hobe Sound homes where original jalousie openings are smaller than modern code-minimum egress sizes. The inspector will check that opening. We frame it right the first time.
Impact-Rated Glazing
Hobe Sound sits directly across the Intracoastal from Jupiter Island. When a storm comes through, the wind-driven rain and debris here are no joke. Impact-rated glazing is not an upsell in this town. It is the standard on any opening that faces the water or sits east of US-1. We install PGT, CGI, and ES Windows impact systems, and we register both warranty layers in writing before we leave the driveway.
Energy-Efficient Upgrade
Those original single-pane aluminum windows in a 1970s Hobe Sound CBS home leak cooled air all summer and do almost nothing to block radiant heat in August. Upgrading to double-pane low-E glass cuts the load on your air handler and changes how the house feels by late afternoon. A typical energy-efficient upgrade on a three-bedroom Hobe Sound ranch with ten openings runs $9,000 to $28,000, depending on glass package and frame material. We quote it honestly, line by line.
Insert Window Replacement
If the existing frames are square and solid, an insert replacement is the lower-cost option. We set a new window inside the old frame, trim it out, and seal it against air and water. Inserts typically run $900 to $3,200 per window in Hobe Sound. Not every home qualifies. We’ll tell you during the estimate if your frames are too far gone.

Trusted Brands We Service in Hobe Sound
We are an authorized installer for more than a dozen manufacturer lines, and for Hobe Sound we stock replacement parts for units, which keeps turnaround on service calls short. If you have an Andersen unit with a failed seal near the Intracoastal, we can usually source the replacement sash within the week. We quote manufacturer lines side by side on paper. You see the glass package, the frame material, the NOA number, and the warranty duration before you sign anything.
Common Window Replacement Problems We See in Hobe Sound Homes
- Salt corrosion on aluminum frames east of US-1. Salt-laden air off the Atlantic attacks exposed aluminum frames and door hardware faster than inland homes experience. A budget non-marine finish fails within a few hurricane seasons. We specify marine-grade finishes on any home within a half-mile of the Intracoastal.
- NOA mismatches at final inspection. A replacement window with a product approval number that does not match the permit gets red-tagged at final inspection, forcing a remove-and-reinstall that can add weeks to the schedule. We pre-verify every number on every unit before installation day.
- Jalousie openings that fail egress codes. On 1960s CBS homes, original jalousie openings are often smaller than modern code-minimum egress sizes. A straight insert swap can trigger a full reframe once the inspector checks the opening. We check this during the estimate, not after the inspector flags it.
- Fogged glass on impact units that are still young. Impact windows running seven or eight years old should not look cloudy. That is a seal failure, and if the glass is still within the manufacturer’s warranty window, it is covered. We handle the warranty claim paperwork so you do not have to argue with a manufacturer.
Pricing for Window Replacement in Hobe Sound, FL
A standard insert window replacement in Hobe Sound runs $900 to $3,200 per opening. Full frame replacements run $1,800 to $6,500 per opening. An energy-efficient upgrade on a full three-bedroom home lands between $9,000 and $28,000 depending on glass package, frame material, and the condition of the existing openings. Impact-rated glazing pushes toward the higher end of every range, and salt-resistant marine finishes add a modest premium that pays for itself in added lifespan.
What moves the price: the size of the opening, whether the frame is salvageable, whether the inspector requires a reframe for egress, and what NOA documentation is already on file with the county. We give you a written line-item estimate before work begins. No change orders appear mid-job without your signature. Call (754) 324-4646 to schedule a free estimate.

FAQs - Window Replacement in Hobe Sound
Martin County’s Product Approval verification is a separate step because the county’s long-standing slow growth policy demands tighter documentation than neighboring counties. Inspectors match the Florida Product Approval number on each installed unit exactly to the permit documents. If the NOA on the installed unit does not match the permit, the job gets red-tagged at final inspection, and you are looking at a remove-and-reinstall. That can add two to four weeks to your schedule. We pre-verify every NOA number before the install, so the inspection passes same-day. Call (754) 324-4646 to have your existing windows checked before you file a permit.
Sometimes yes, sometimes no. Jalousie openings are typically narrower than modern code-minimum egress sizes, especially on 1960s CBS construction. If the inspector checks the opening and finds it undersized, an insert swap turns into a full frame replacement. We measure the opening and check the egress dimensions before you commit to a plan. In many cases we can reframe the opening without rebuilding the wall, but you will want that answer before the permit is filed, not after. Call (754) 324-4646 for a free on-site measurement.
Marine-grade aluminum holds up best, but the finish matters as much as the material. Salt-laden onshore wind attacks exposed aluminum frames and hardware faster here than inland. We specify a marine-grade finish on any home east of US-1 or within a half-mile of the Intracoastal. Vinyl frames hold up fine structurally, but hardware and fasteners still need corrosion-resistant treatment. A standard builder-grade finish will not survive more than a few hurricane seasons on a canal front home. Call (754) 324-4646 and we’ll tell you what your specific exposure requires.
Yes, cloudy glass on an impact unit that young is a seal failure, and it is typically covered under the manufacturer’s glass warranty. The catch is that warranty coverage requires the paperwork to be in order, and most homeowners do not have the original registration documents. We register both warranty layers in writing on every install we do, and we handle warranty claims for Hobe Sound customers whose original installer disappeared. Call (754) 324-4646 and we’ll check your serial numbers against the manufacturer’s database.
Yes. Martin County requires a permit for window replacement in unincorporated Hobe Sound, and the county is strict about it. A replacement without the proper NOA documentation can be flagged during a future inspection or a sale. We pull the permit, we schedule the inspection, and we stand on site when the inspector arrives. That is part of the job. Call (754) 324-4646 for an estimate that includes permit costs and inspection scheduling.
