AfterWindows & Doors in Hobe Sound, FL
Window installation in Hobe Sound typically runs $650-$1,400 per opening for impact-rated replacement units, with most 1960s-1980s CBS homes requiring full-frame removal rather than inserts due to original jalousie and single-pane aluminum construction. The salt-laden air from the Indian River Lagoon and Atlantic barrier island accelerates frame corrosion and seal failure, making marine-grade hardware and proper flashing non-negotiable on every job. If you’re pricing window or door work for a Hobe Sound home, call (772) 362-5402 and we’ll deliver a written quote from a measured survey you keep.
We operate under the Haven Standard, which means the measurement and the written price are the same document. Since 2012, that principle has governed more than 18,000 installations. In Hobe Sound, it matters more than usual because the housing stock and coastal exposure create conditions that generic quotes miss.
Why Hobe Sound Homes Are Different
Hobe Sound sits on the Martin County mainland with the Indian River Lagoon directly to the west and the Atlantic barrier island just miles east. Salt-laden air arrives from two directions simultaneously, corroding frames, hardware, and seals faster than inland Treasure Coast communities like Stuart or Port St. Lucie. This isn’t a cosmetic issue; we regularly find aluminum window frames with pitting deep enough to compromise structural integrity after fifteen years of exposure.
The housing stock compounds the problem. Most mainland neighborhoods were built between 1960 and 1985 with concrete block stucco construction and original aluminum jalousie windows or single-pane horizontal sliders. Neither can be retrofitted to impact-rated standards. Martin County inspectors require full-frame removal and impact-rated replacement, so a “repair” or shutter-addition approach fails permitting. Contractors who don’t know this waste homeowner time with quotes that cannot be executed.
Wind exposure is equally specific. At roughly 27°N, Hobe Sound receives direct Atlantic hurricane exposure with no geographic buffer. The lagoon-to-ocean pinch means wind-driven rain can saturate openings from multiple directions during the same storm event. Proper flashing and impact-rated glazing aren’t upgrades here; they’re code minimums that keep water out of wall cavities.
Our Main Hobe Sound Services
Most Hobe Sound homeowners who call us start with one of these three projects.
Window Replacement in Hobe Sound
Full-frame window replacement dominates our Hobe Sound work because the original jalousie and single-pane aluminum units in 1960s-1980s CBS homes cannot be made impact-rated. Martin County permits require complete removal and certified impact-rated installation. We measure every opening, document frame conditions, and specify products from PGT, CGI, or CWS based on performance tier and price range. The written quote you receive is the same document our crew uses for installation.
Window Replacement in Hobe Sound
Impact Windows & Doors in Hobe Sound
Martin County lies within Florida’s wind-borne debris region, which means impact-rated products are effectively mandatory for replacement work. We specify laminated glass and reinforced frames from verified manufacturer lines, pull permits, and schedule inspections. Every job leaves a documented photo record and carries the 365-Day Done Right Promise written into the Haven Standard.
Impact Windows & Doors in Hobe Sound
Sliding & Patio Doors in Hobe Sound
Hobe Sound’s waterfront and near-Intracoastal homes often have original sliding glass doors that leak air and water, with corroded rollers and failed weatherstripping from salt exposure. We replace these with impact-rated multi-panel systems, including 3-lite and 4-lite configurations, with marine-grade hardware that withstands the coastal environment. The measured survey captures sill condition, header load, and drainage path before we quote.

AfterWindow Installation in Hobe Sound
Window installation in Hobe Sound means working with 1960s-1980s CBS construction, original jalousie windows that cannot be upgraded, and salt-laden air that degrades non-marine-grade components faster than inland markets. Every opening we measure gets a frame reading for moisture intrusion, a sightline check for square, and a product specification matched to the home’s exposure. Window Installation at Sightline begins with a measured survey you keep and ends with a documented photo record; the written price never changes because it was derived from that survey.
Single & Double Hung Windows
Signs you need it
Original jalousie windows with corroded frames, single-pane aluminum units with failed seals, or any window that cannot achieve impact rating under Florida Building Code.
What it costs in Hobe Sound
Single and double hung impact-rated window installation in Hobe Sound typically ranges from $650 to $1,200 per opening depending on size, floor level, and frame condition.
How we do it
We remove the entire frame including jamb and sill, inspect the rough opening for moisture damage, install the new impact-rated unit with proper flashing tape and sealant, and photograph each step for the documented record.
Horizontal Roller Windows
Signs you need it
Original single-pane horizontal sliders with corroded tracks, failed rollers, or frames too degraded to accept impact-rated retrofit glazing.
What it costs in Hobe Sound
Horizontal roller impact-rated window installation in Hobe Sound typically ranges from $700 to $1,300 per opening with marine-grade hardware specified for coastal exposure.
How we do it
We measure the exact track width and frame depth, specify the roller system rated for salt-air corrosion, install with continuous head flashing, and test operation before the inspector arrives.
What Window Installation Costs in Hobe Sound
| Item | Typical range in Hobe Sound |
|---|---|
| Single / double hung impact window, installed | $650 - $1,200 |
| Horizontal roller impact window, installed | $700 - $1,300 |
| 3-panel sliding impact window, installed | $1,200 - $2,400 |
Can original jalousie windows be repaired instead of replaced in Hobe Sound?
No. Jalousie windows cannot accept impact-rated glazing, and Martin County requires impact-rated replacement for all window changes in the wind-borne debris region. Any contractor quoting a repair or shutter solution is proposing work that will fail inspection.
Will the price change after installation starts?
No. Haven Clause 1 states the measured survey and the written quote are the same document. If we encounter concealed damage during removal, we document it, stop work, and present a revised scope in writing before continuing. Call (772) 362-5402 for your free estimate.
Door Installation in Hobe Sound
Door installation in Hobe Sound faces the same salt-air corrosion and impact-rating requirements as window work, with the added complexity of entry door security and the larger openings of patio and French door systems. Original steel doors in 1970s CBS homes often show rust at the sill and lock stile; fiberglass and thermally broken aluminum units from Therma-Tru and CGI replace them with impact-rated assemblies that pass Martin County inspection. Door Installation at Sightline includes a measured survey of the rough opening, jamb depth, and threshold condition before any price is written.
Hurricane-Proof Front & Entry Doors
Signs you need it
Rust at the sill or lock stile of an original steel door, air infiltration around the frame, or any entry door that lacks impact-rated certification for the wind-borne debris region.
What it costs in Hobe Sound
Hurricane-proof front and entry door installation in Hobe Sound typically ranges from $1,800 to $4,500 including frame, hardware, and permit.
How we do it
We remove the door and frame, inspect the rough opening for moisture damage, install the impact-rated unit with proper sill pan flashing, and verify lock and deadbolt alignment before final inspection.
French & Double Doors
Signs you need it
Original French doors with single-pane glass, corroded hinges, or frames that leak during wind-driven rain events common to Hobe Sound’s lagoon-front exposure.
What it costs in Hobe Sound
French and double door installation in Hobe Sound typically ranges from $2,200 to $5,500 depending on width, impact rating, and hardware specification.
How we do it
We measure the combined width and verify header capacity, specify multi-point locking hardware rated for coastal corrosion, install with continuous head and sill flashing, and test both panels for proper latching.
What Door Installation Costs in Hobe Sound
| Item | Typical range in Hobe Sound |
|---|---|
| Hurricane-proof front / entry door, installed | $1,800 - $4,500 |
| French / double door, installed | $2,200 - $5,500 |
| Sliding patio door replacement, installed | $1,500 - $3,800 |
Do I need a permit to replace my front door in Hobe Sound?
Yes. Martin County requires permits for all exterior door replacements in the wind-borne debris region, with inspection of frame attachment and impact rating. We pull permits and schedule inspections as standard on every job.
Can I keep my existing frame and just replace the door slab?
Almost never in Hobe Sound. Original frames lack the depth and attachment points for impact-rated units, and inspectors verify full assembly certification. Call (772) 362-5402 and we’ll measure to confirm.
Energy-Efficient Windows in Hobe Sound
Energy-efficient window installation in Hobe Sound addresses a specific coastal problem: single-pane aluminum units that conduct heat and leak cooled air, with UV exposure that fades interiors despite constant air conditioning. The same salt-air environment that corrodes frames also degrades low-E coatings if not specified correctly, so we match glass packages to the home’s orientation and exposure. Energy-Efficient Windows at Sightline are specified by U-factor and SHGC performance, not by stock availability, with every unit carrying a written efficiency specification.
Low-E & Argon Gas Glass
Signs you need it
Single-pane windows with no low-E coating, rooms that overheat despite blinds, or electric bills that spike in summer due to solar heat gain through uncoated glass.
What it costs in Hobe Sound
Low-E and argon gas glass upgrade in Hobe Sound typically adds $80 to $150 per opening to the base impact-rated window cost.
How we do it
We specify the coating stack for southern and western exposures, verify argon fill retention in the laminated impact glass, and document the NFRC ratings on the written quote.
Insulated Laminated Glass
Signs you need it
Original single-pane units with condensation between panes that were retrofitted, or impact-rated replacement windows that lack the insulated airspace for thermal performance.
What it costs in Hobe Sound
Insulated laminated glass windows in Hobe Sound typically range from $850 to $1,600 per opening depending on size and frame material.
How we do it
We measure for the increased jamb depth of insulated units, verify the spacer system is warm-edge and marine-rated, and confirm the assembly meets both impact and energy code.
What Energy-Efficient Windows Costs in Hobe Sound
| Item | Typical range in Hobe Sound |
|---|---|
| Low-E / argon upgrade, per opening | $80 - $150 add-on |
| Insulated laminated glass window, installed | $850 - $1,600 |
| ENERGY STAR certified replacement, installed | $750 - $1,400 |
Will energy-efficient windows actually lower my electric bill in Hobe Sound?
Yes, measurably. We specify SHGC below 0.25 for west-facing openings, which reduces solar heat gain that forces air conditioning to cycle longer. The written quote includes the NFRC ratings so you can verify the performance claim.
Does the salt air damage low-E coatings?
Not if specified correctly. We use hard-coat low-E on surfaces protected within the laminated glass stack, not soft-coat exposed to the coastal environment. Call (772) 362-5402 for the specification on your openings.
Impact Garage Doors in Hobe Sound
Impact garage door installation in Hobe Sound protects the largest opening in most homes, one that original construction often left with non-rated panels and minimal wind-load attachment. The 1960s-1980s CBS homes common here typically have 16-foot wide openings with header beams never designed for the negative pressure of a hurricane; upgrading to a wind-rated door system requires structural verification. Impact Garage Doors at Sightline include a header load check and proper track attachment to the structure, not just to the jamb.
Hurricane-Rated Garage Doors
Signs you need it
Original garage door with no wind-load rating, panels that rattle in moderate winds, or a door that failed during recent storm exposure.
What it costs in Hobe Sound
Hurricane-rated garage door installation in Hobe Sound typically ranges from $1,200 to $3,500 for a standard 16-foot wide double door with track and hardware.
How we do it
We verify header capacity and attachment points, specify the wind-load rating for Hobe Sound’s exposure category, install with proper track bracing and reinforcement, and test operation under load before inspection.
Wind-Load Code Compliance
Signs you need it
Permit application for any garage door replacement in Martin County, or an existing door that lacks the Florida Product Approval number required for the wind-borne debris region.
What it costs in Hobe Sound
Wind-load code compliance upgrades for garage doors in Hobe Sound typically range from $400 to $900 in addition to the door cost, covering structural reinforcement and permit.
How we do it
We document the existing header and spring assembly, specify the required Florida Product Approval, install with engineer-specified attachment hardware, and coordinate inspection with Martin County.
What Impact Garage Doors Costs in Hobe Sound
| Item | Typical range in Hobe Sound |
|---|---|
| Hurricane-rated garage door, 16′ double, installed | $1,200 - $3,500 |
| Wind-load code compliance upgrade | $400 - $900 |
| Garage door replacement with opener, installed | $1,500 - $4,000 |
Does my garage door need to be impact-rated if I have a solid door?
Yes. Martin County requires wind-load rated garage doors for all replacements in the wind-borne debris region, regardless of panel material. The rating addresses structural attachment and pressure resistance, not just glass impact.
Will you check my header before quoting?
Yes. We measure header span, verify attachment to the CBS wall, and document any reinforcement needed before writing the price. The quote includes this work if required. Call (772) 362-5402 to schedule the survey.
Custom & Geometric Windows in Hobe Sound
Custom and geometric window installation in Hobe Sound serves the higher-end waterfront and near-Intracoastal homes that require shaped openings, oversized glass, or specific architectural matching. These jobs demand exact sightline measurement and manufacturer coordination because impact-rated custom units have longer lead times and zero tolerance for field modification. Custom & Geometric Windows at Sightline include a full-size template verification before order submission, with the measured survey and final invoice tied to the same document.
Geometric & Shaped Windows
Signs you need it
Existing shaped windows with failed seals, new construction or renovation requiring triangular, trapezoidal, or circular openings with impact rating.
What it costs in Hobe Sound
Geometric and shaped impact-rated windows in Hobe Sound typically range from $1,500 to $4,000 per opening depending on complexity and glass specification.
How we do it
We create a full-size template of the opening, submit it to the manufacturer for verification, receive the unit with pre-applied certification label, and install with custom flashings fabricated to match the geometry.
Oversized Openings
Signs you need it
Window walls or picture windows exceeding standard manufacturer sizes, requiring custom structural support and multi-unit assembly with minimal sightline interruption.
What it costs in Hobe Sound
Oversized custom impact-rated openings in Hobe Sound typically range from $3,500 to $12,000 depending on total square footage, structural support required, and lift equipment needed.
How we do it
We engineer the header and support structure, specify the unitized system from ViewLux or CGI, coordinate crane or lift access for Hobe Sound’s residential lots, and install with continuous perimeter attachment to the CBS structure.
What Custom & Geometric Windows Costs in Hobe Sound
| Item | Typical range in Hobe Sound |
|---|---|
| Geometric / shaped impact window, installed | $1,500 - $4,000 |
| Oversized custom opening, installed | $3,500 - $12,000 |
| Arched top impact window, installed | $2,000 - $5,500 |
How long do custom impact windows take to manufacture?
Typically 8 to 14 weeks from template approval, depending on the manufacturer and complexity. We verify lead time before you commit and coordinate installation scheduling from our Miami office.
Can you match my existing arched windows with new impact-rated units?
Yes. We template the existing arch radius, specify the replacement from a manufacturer tooled for that profile, and verify sightline match before production begins. Call (772) 362-5402 for a template survey.
Brands We Service in Hobe Sound
We specify from eight verified manufacturer lines: PGT, CGI, CWS, ES Windows, ECO Window Systems, Mr-Glass, Therma-Tru, and ViewLux. Each is selected by performance tier and price range for the specific opening, not by margin. We stock common hardware and weatherstripping for faster turnaround on service calls. our brands
