AfterFast, Reliable Impact Windows & Doors Across Hobe Sound
Impact window and door replacement in Hobe Sound costs $8,500-$28,000 for a typical 1,800-square-foot concrete block home, depending on the number of openings and whether you go with aluminum or higher-end fiberglass frames. Most full-frame replacement jobs take two to four weeks from permit submission to final inspection, with Martin County’s review process adding real time you won’t see in neighboring Palm Beach County. We’ve worked homes along Bridge Road, in The Soundings, and throughout the unincorporated pockets around Hobe Sound for years, so we know exactly what the county asks for before we ever pull a permit. Call (772) 362-3326 for a written, line-item quote on your place.
Key Takeaways
- Hobe Sound sits in Martin County’s wind-borne debris region, but not the stricter HVHZ zone that governs Palm Beach County just south of the county line.
- Full-frame replacement is the standard here, not the exception. Most insert-only window jobs fail county code review on pre-1992 block homes.
- Salt air from the Atlantic and the Indian River Lagoon hits your frames from two directions. Marine-grade aluminum and stainless hardware are not an upsell here, they are the minimum that lasts.
- Martin County permits routinely add two to three weeks to a schedule. Any honest quote for Hobe Sound should show that timeline in writing before demo day.
Why TruePane Windows & Doors Is Hobe Sound’s Preferred Impact Windows & Doors Company
We are not the cheapest bid in Hobe Sound, and we won’t pretend to be. What we are is the company that shows up with the right product approval documentation already pulled, the right frame material spec’d for salt exposure, and a crew that has done this exact job on more 1960s and 1970s block homes here than we can count. Dale Kessler founded TruePane in 2008 with one rule on the whiteboard: if the pane is not true, the job is not done. That standard has not moved in years of combined trade history, and it governs every install we run in Hobe Sound.
Our customers here tend to be people who have lived in the same house for twenty or thirty years. They remember the contractor who slapped in insert windows that failed county review, or the aluminum frames that pitted out within three years of salt exposure. They call us because they want the job done right the first time, with both manufacturer warranty layers registered in writing before the truck leaves the driveway. That’s our Keystone Standard, and it applies to every single opening we touch in Hobe Sound.
Dispatch and scheduling for Hobe Sound are coordinated from our South Florida office, with crews serving the area locally. A live person answers the phone 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Not a menu tree. Not a callback form. When you call (772) 362-3326, you get a human who knows the Hobe Sound schedule and can tell you exactly when the crew will roll up.
Our Impact Windows & Doors Services in Hobe Sound
Our Impact Windows & Doors team handles the full range of replacement and upgrade work here, but three services make up most of what we do in Hobe Sound: full-frame impact window replacement, impact sliding glass doors, and wind mitigation documentation. Here’s what each looks like on a local job.
Hurricane Impact Windows
Most Hobe Sound homes built before 1992 still carry original jalousie or single-pane aluminum windows. Those openings almost never meet Martin County’s current wind-borne debris requirements, and insert windows won’t fix the frame or the rough opening. We quote full-frame replacement with impact-rated glazing from manufacturers like Simonton, PGT, and ES Windows, and we pull the NOA or Florida Product Approval numbers for every unit before the permit package goes to the county. Hobe Sound homeowners deserve a quote that survives review the first time.
Impact Sliding Glass Doors
Sliders take the worst of Hobe Sound’s weather, especially on the east side near the Atlantic or west-facing openings toward the lagoon. Salt haze settles on the tracks, weatherstripping dries out, and rollers bind. We spec stainless hardware and marine-grade aluminum frames on every impact slider we install here, and we set them so they still glide ten years from now, not just on install day. If your existing slider sticks or lets water through in a hard rain, that’s a failure waiting to be replaced, not ignored.
Impact Entry & French Doors
An out-of-true entry door binds in July when the humidity sits near a hundred percent and the slab shifts. We see it constantly in Hobe Sound, especially on older block homes where the original rough opening was never perfect. We measure every opening twice and quote manufacturer lines side by side on paper, so you see exactly what you are buying and what it costs. French door jobs get the same treatment: full impact glass, fiberglass or steel frames where the exposure calls for it, and a door that closes square the day we leave and the day you sell the house.
Impact Garage Doors
Many Hobe Sound homes use the garage as the primary windward-facing opening on the east elevation. Impact-rated garage doors and storm-rated tracks are a code requirement here for new construction and major remodels, and we install and service them. The salt air is hard on coil springs and hinges, so we check every moving part during the install and use corrosion-resistant hardware throughout.

Trusted Brands We Service in Hobe Sound
We are authorized installers for more than a dozen manufacturer lines, and for Hobe Sound specifically we lean on, PGT, ES Windows because their impact ratings and aluminum finishes hold up in this corridor. We service most major brands regardless of who installed them originally. If your home has CWS or ECO Window Systems units with fogged glass or failed seals, we can handle parts and replacement without making you chase down the original contractor. Hobe Sound’s salt air does not care whose sticker is on the frame. What matters is the quality of the rebuild.
Common Impact Windows & Doors Problems We See in Hobe Sound Homes
- Insert windows that failed county review. We get calls from homeowners who paid someone else for an insert-only job on a pre-1992 block home, only to have Martin County flag the permit. The fix is full-frame replacement, which costs more and means the first contractor’s work gets torn out. It stings. We scope correctly the first time.
- Fogged or failed insulated glass within two to three years. Salt air attacks the sealants and desiccant systems in standard aluminum frames from two directions. Once the seal fails, you get condensation between the panes and a window you can’t see through. Marine-grade frames and proper glazing tape are the only real prevention.
- Weatherstripping that crumbles and tracks that bind. Sliding doors and double-hung verticals on the older housing stock here suffer from constant exposure to airborne salt. We replace weatherstripping with tougher compounds and adjust tracks so the window opens without a fight.
- Permit timelines that leave openings exposed. Martin County’s review process is longer than what homeowners just south in Palm Beach County experience. If a contractor does not build that buffer into the schedule, you can end up with boarded openings for weeks. We front-load the submittal so the demo happens only after the permit is actually in hand.
Pricing for Impact Windows & Doors in Hobe Sound, FL
Real numbers, because vague pricing wastes everyone’s time.

FAQs - Impact Windows & Doors in Hobe Sound
Because most Hobe Sound homes are concrete block construction from the 1960s through the 1980s with original aluminum or jalousie frames that predate Florida’s post-Hurricane Andrew code. Martin County’s wind-borne debris review requires the entire opening, including the frame, to meet current impact standards. Inserts leave the old frame in place, which means the rough opening never gets properly flashed, anchored, or sealed to today’s requirements. Inserts also fail the county’s product approval review on older block homes because the original frame cannot be documented to meet current design pressures. Full-frame replacement is the only reliable path to code compliance here. Call (772) 362-3326 and we’ll walk you through exactly what your home needs.
Typically two to three weeks longer. Martin County’s building department reviews every impact window and door submittal for full NOA or Florida Product Approval documentation, including frame anchorage details and design pressure calculations. Palm Beach County’s HVHZ process in Jupiter or Tequesta runs on a different review cadence. On a recent full-frame job off Bridge Road, we front-loaded the NOA submittal and held framing until the county stamped the plans, which kept the schedule honest without leaving the openings exposed. If a contractor does not tell you about this buffer before you sign, ask why. Call (772) 362-3326 for a quote that includes the real timeline.
You need marine-grade frames. Hobe Sound sits pinched between the Atlantic and the Indian River Lagoon, so your windows take salt air from both east and west. Standard anodized aluminum frames and zinc hardware corrode fast here, usually within two to three years, leading to seal failure and fogged glass. Marine-grade anodized aluminum, stainless-steel fasteners, and heavier weatherstripping are not luxury upgrades in this corridor. They are the difference between a window that lasts ten years and one that fails in three. We spec them on every Hobe Sound quote by default, and we show you the line item so you can see exactly what you are buying. Call (772) 362-3326 to get your numbers.
Look for the specific Florida Product Approval or NOA number for every unit installed, along with confirmation that the frames were full-frame replacements anchored to the existing concrete block, not inserts. A legitimate wind mitigation report also documents the design pressure rating for each opening and verifies that all openings, including garage doors, meet Martin County’s wind-borne debris requirements. Without those details, the report will not lower your wind insurance premiums and may not pass an insurer’s desk review. We provide full documentation with every Hobe Sound job, included in the quote, not sold as an add-on. Call (772) 362-3326 and we’ll explain what your home needs to qualify.
Salt air. Homes in the more inland parts of Martin County, like the newer sections of Stuart west of US-1, get far less airborne salt than what Hobe Sound gets daily. Here, the Atlantic and the Indian River Lagoon both sit within a few miles of most homes, and the sea breeze carries fine salt mist year round. That mist settles on window hinges, rollers, screws, and weatherstripping, accelerating corrosion and drying out rubber and foam seals. Wiping down frames and tracks every few months helps, but the real fix is using corrosion-resistant hardware and heavier weatherstripping from the start. We spec those on every install and repair we do here. Call (772) 362-3326 to schedule an inspection.
