What Our Custom Windows & Doors Service Includes

Custom work means the opening dictates the unit, not the other way around. We measure, build to spec, and install windows and doors that fit the actual rough opening in your home, whether that opening is a standard rectangle a previous contractor forced a stock unit into, or an arch, a radius, a trapezoid, or a full glass wall. Every custom job gets both manufacturer warranty layers registered in writing before we leave the driveway, and every job carries the Done Right Promise. Here is what we do under the custom umbrella.

Custom Shape Windows

Custom Shape Windows cover any opening that is not a stock rectangle: arches, circles, hexagons, octagons, triangles, eyebrows, and radius tops that follow the roofline. Stuart homes built in the 1970s through the 1990s often have half-round or elliptical windows over the front entry or in a gable, and those units fail differently than standard rectangles because the seals work harder on a curved sash. We measure every opening twice, order the exact shape from our manufacturer lines, and set the unit so the reveal is even all the way around. If the pane is not true, the job is not done, and that rule applies doubly to a curved frame.

Commercial Storefront Glazing

Commercial Storefront Glazing covers the aluminum-framed glass systems you see on retail fronts, office lobbies, and restaurant dining rooms throughout Stuart and into Port Salerno and Jensen Beach. These systems take more abuse than residential glass: sun load, salt air, shopping carts, and hurricane pressure cycling. TruePane services, replaces, and upgrades storefront glazing with an emphasis on the gaskets, setting blocks, and drainage weep systems that make the difference between a leak-free storefront and a puddle behind the mullion. Our technicians work uniformed and background-checked, and we schedule commercial work with minimal interruption to business hours.

Curtain Wall Systems

Curtain Wall Systems are the non-structural glass skin on larger commercial buildings: hospitals, office mid-rises, and municipal buildings in Stuart and Fort Pierce. These are engineered systems where every lite, anchor, and expansion joint has a spec, and we follow it. TruePane handles curtain wall repair, reglazing, and panel replacement with the right structural silicone and the right shim package, and we document the work so your building envelope stays watertight through hurricane season.

Architectural Grilles & SDLs

Architectural Grilles & SDLs give a window the look of individual panes while keeping the insulated glass unit intact. We install true divided lite, SDL with grilles between the glass, and exterior applied grilles in patterns that match the original architecture of your Stuart home, whether that’s a 1960s ranch in North River Shores or a newer build in Sewall’s Point. Matching existing grille profile width and sightline is the detail that separates a replacement that looks factory from one that looks patched in.

Oversized Glass Panels

Oversized glass panels cover fixed and operable units that exceed the standard maximums: picture windows over 12 feet wide, sliding door panels that weigh more than 300 pounds, and glass walls with minimal frame. These units require a second set of hands, sometimes a crane or a lift, and always a setting plan that accounts for deflection and thermal movement. We have installed oversized panels in Stuart waterfront homes where the view is the whole point, and we set them so the operable sash moves clean and the fixed lites never bind against the frame.

Brands We Service for Custom Windows & Doors

TruePane is an authorized installer for more than a dozen manufacturer lines, and for custom work we regularly quote PGT, CGI, and Ply Gem because those three lines offer the widest range of custom shapes, impact ratings, and finish options for Martin County homes. We have installed hundreds of PGT custom Winchester and Estate series units, and we know their lead times, their hardware, and their warranty registration process inside out. CGI, which is made here in Florida, is our go-to for custom impact-rated shapes in coastal zones: their laminated glass and reinforced frames handle the Stuart salt air and the wind-load requirements without corroding the way offshore hardware sometimes does.

Ply Gem gives our Stuart customers a strong mid-range option when they want a custom arch or radius without the premium price of a high-end architectural line. We know which Ply Gem lines take a custom lite pattern and which ones won’t, and we will tell you before the order is placed, not after. Whether you have one of these brands or any other make, we can quote it, order it, and set it. We do not push one line. We put two or three options side by side on paper, with prices, so you see exactly what you are buying.

Signs You Need Custom Windows & Doors Right Now

• Fog between the glass panes. When the seal on an insulated glass unit fails, moisture gets trapped between the panes and the window permanently clouds. In Stuart’s humidity, this happens faster than people expect, and no amount of cleaning fixes a failed seal. The glass unit has to be replaced, and if the window is a custom shape, a stock replacement will not fit the opening.
• The door binds or scrapes in the same spot every summer. Wood and aluminum frames move with heat and humidity, and a door that sticks in July and swings free in January has a frame problem, not a hinge problem. We see this constantly in Stuart’s older neighborhoods like Port Salerno and Rio, where the original door slabs were not set for our moisture cycle. The fix is a properly measured and set custom door, not a plane and a prayer.
• You can feel air moving around a closed window. If your hand feels a draft at the meeting rails or the perimeter of the frame, the weatherstripping is shot or the sash is out of square. A window that leaks air is leaking conditioned air you pay for every month. When this happens on an odd-sized or shaped window, the right replacement is a custom unit, not a stock window with a bigger gap around it.
• The window will not lock or the sash drops when you open it. A sash that falls or a lock that will not engage means the balance system or the frame is out of tolerance. This is a safety issue: an unlocked window is an open invitation, and a falling sash can hurt someone. Custom windows fail this way more often because the original install was often force-fit into an opening that was never square.
• Water stains or soft wood around the window or door frame. If you see staining at the corners or the sill feels soft when you press it, water has been getting in for a while. In Stuart’s rainy season, a small leak becomes a big rot problem behind the trim. We will open the wall enough to find the true source, repair the rough opening if needed, and set a custom unit that drains properly.

Our Custom Windows & Doors Process - Step by Step

We run every custom job through the same five steps, whether it is a single arch window in Stuart or a full glass wall in Sewall’s Point. There are no shortcuts and no surprises on the bill.

1. 1
   Measure and inspect. Every opening gets measured twice, corner to corner, diagonal to diagonal, and checked for level and plumb. We pull the existing trim when needed to check the rough opening and look for hidden rot or framing issues before we order anything. A wrong measurement on a custom unit means a six-to-eight-week reorder, so we take the time up front. We also use a moisture meter on the framing around old windows and doors in Stuart homes to catch water damage that is not visible yet.
2. 2
   Side-by-side quote on paper. We bring manufacturer line options in writing: glass package, frame material, hardware, warranty terms, and the installed price for each. You see what each line costs and what you get for the difference. No verbal numbers, no pressure, no change orders later. The quote we give you is the price on the final invoice.
3. 3
   Order with warranty registration. Once you pick the line and sign the quote, we order the unit and register both warranty layers, manufacturer and workmanship, in writing, with durations stated. That registration happens before we leave your driveway, and we hand you copies. The Keystone Standard is not a handshake; it is paperwork in your file and ours.
4. 4
   Set the unit true. Our uniformed, background-checked technicians set the window or door in the opening with setting blocks, shims, and sealant exactly according to the manufacturer’s spec, and we check for square and plumb again after setting. We use a laser level on every custom install because a quarter-inch out of true at the top of an eight-foot door turns into a bind at the latch. Dale Kessler’s rule is on the whiteboard in our shop: if the pane is not true, the job is not done.
5. 5
   Clean, walk through, and document. We vacuum and remove all debris, walk you through the unit, show you how the hardware works, and hand you the warranty paperwork and the final invoice. You know what was done, what it cost, and who to call. And we answer the phone when you call, 24/7, because a live person is the standard, not a voicemail tree.

How Much Does Custom Windows & Doors Cost in Stuart?

A custom window in Stuart typically runs $850 to $1,800 per unit for a standard custom shape like an arch or a trapezoid in vinyl or aluminum, and $1,500 to $3,400 per unit for a large custom picture window or a radius unit in impact-rated or premium frame material. Custom doors run higher: a custom entry door starts around $2,000 installed and a custom sliding or multi-panel patio door runs $3,500 to $9,000 depending on glass package, impact rating, and panel count. Oversized glass panels and curtain wall work are quoted per project because every structural condition is different, and we will not give you a number over the phone that we cannot stand behind in writing.

What drives the price: the size and shape of the opening, whether the unit needs to meet Florida impact code for a coastal zone, the frame material you choose, the glass package and low-E coatings, and the hardware. A circle-top window costs more than a stock rectangle of the same width because the frame must be fabricated to the radius, not cut from stock. What can save money: ordering a standard custom shape that a manufacturer already templates, choosing an aluminum frame over wood in high-moisture exposures, and replacing the glass unit only when the frame is still sound. We tell you which option fits your budget and your house, and our free estimate includes the measurement, the inspection, and the written quote. Call (754) 324-4646 to schedule yours.
