Fast, Reliable Custom Windows & Doors Across Wellington
Custom window and door work in Wellington means something specific: older CBS homes from the late 1970s through the 1990s, HOA architectural boards that review every opening, and Palm Beach County code that requires impact-rated product on any permitted change-out. TruePane Windows & Doors has crews in Wellington every week, and we know what those walls look like on the inside before a single pane comes out. Call (561) 349-4826 for a free estimate and a straight answer.
Here’s the short version on custom windows and doors in Wellington: a typical custom impact window runs $900 to $2,400 per opening installed, custom shape windows start around $1,400, and oversized sliding glass doors on equestrian properties routinely land between $6,000 and $18,000 depending on glass package and frame reinforcement. The reason the range exists is what’s behind the stucco, and that’s what this page is about.
Why TruePane Windows & Doors Is Wellington’s Preferred Custom Windows & Doors Company
We’re led by Dale Kessler, a second-generation glazier who founded TruePane in 2008 on a rule that still governs every install: if the pane is not true, the job is not done. That’s the standard the crews working in Wellington carry, and it’s why the company has grown mostly through one homeowner telling another. Older Wellington neighborhoods like Olympia, Versailles, and the Polo estates were built with single-pane aluminum windows that fail in predictable ways. We’ve seen enough of them to price hidden framing work upfront instead of springing it after the wall is open.
Our local reputation in Wellington comes from writing the allowance into the contract before the first cut. When a home was built in 1988, the jamb wood is often rotted from seal failure, and the wiring behind the wall may not be to current code. That’s not guesswork on a custom job. We inspect, we document, and we put the number in writing. Then we stand behind it with the Done Right Promise and The Keystone Standard: both manufacturer warranty layers registered in writing, durations stated, before the truck leaves your driveway. A live person answers our phone 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, including when a Wellington HOA needs documentation on a Wednesday evening.
Our Custom Windows & Doors Services in Wellington
Our Custom Windows & Doors team handles four things Wellington calls about most often:
Custom Shape Windows
Older Wellington homes used trapezoids, half-rounds, and octagons as architectural accents above entry doors and in two-story foyers. Most were single-pane aluminum, most are now seal-failed or corroded at the frame corners, and almost none match current Palm Beach County wind-load requirements. We take field measurements twice, template the opening, and order a purpose-built impact-rated unit with a Florida Product Approval number, not a stock sash forced into a shape it was never designed for.

Commercial Storefront Glazing
Wellington’s storefronts along Forest Hill Boulevard and Wellington Trace face the same wind-load code as residential openings, plus the added requirement of ADA-compliant doors and high-cycle hardware. We service storefront systems where the original glazing was installed before the 2002 Florida Building Code and has since dropped out of compliance. Most storefront reglazing and frame repair is completed in a single visit.

Curtain Wall Systems
Curtain wall on low-rise Wellington commercial and equestrian amenity buildings carries two problems we see repeatedly: failed structural silicone joints from years of western Palm Beach County heat cycling, and water intrusion at the sill flashing installed before modern deck coatings. We cut out the failed glazing, restore the mullion drainage paths, and reglaze with a system that holds a current FL approval number. The Done Right Promise applies to commercial work the same as residential.

Architectural Grilles & SDLs
HOA design guidelines in Wellington neighborhoods often require simulated divided lites to match the original 1980s colonial or Mediterranean appearance, while the replacement unit itself must be impact-rated. We spec grilles and SDLs in the same profile families as the original builders used, which keeps architectural review from stalling a permit. For properties in Palm Beach Polo and Mallet Hill, we submit the SDL profile drawing with the window schedule so the board sees exactly what gets installed.

Oversized Glass Panels
Equestrian properties in Wellington routinely call for glass that stores in Boca or the coast rarely stock: 10-foot and 12-foot sliding panels, fixed picture walls, and barn-style openings that have to hold a 140-mph wind-load rating while the tracks set into a concrete block wall. We engineer those openings with the frame reinforcement written into the quote. If the existing header is undersized, that’s priced and approved before we cut anything.

Trusted Brands We Service in Wellington
TruePane is an authorized installer for more than a dozen manufacturer lines, and for Wellington we quote side by side on paper so you can see the actual product and the actual number. Different HOA boards in Wellington accept different product lines for architectural approval, and different homes need different glass packages. We register both manufacturer warranty layers in writing before we leave your driveway, which means the coverage actually exists when you need it.
Common Custom Windows & Doors Problems We See in Wellington Homes
- Seal failure on original single-pane aluminum windows. Units installed in the 1980s and 1990s on CBS homes have failed seals that let moisture wick into the jamb and the surrounding stucco. When the old frame comes out, the rot beneath is usually worse than the homeowner ever guessed.
- Non-impact French doors that twist under wind load. Original hollow-core or non-impact French doors in Versailles and Palm Beach Polo get blown in during Wilma-type wind events, and the undersized frames twist enough that a new oversized glass panel can’t seal weathertight without reframing.
- Outdated low-E glass losing its argon fill. 1990s low-E units in Wellington’s humid climate lose argon over time, which pushes U-factor and SHGC far off their original ENERGY STAR values. Most homeowners don’t know until an inspection reveals the glazing has degraded invisibly.
- HOA architectural review stalling a permit. Wellington has some of the strictest HOA design boards in Palm Beach County, and the wrong SDL profile or color match can hold a permit for weeks. We submit drawings the board can actually approve.
Pricing for Custom Windows & Doors in Wellington, FL
A custom impact-rated window in Wellington typically runs $900 to $2,400 per opening installed. Custom shape windows start around $1,400 and climb with the glass package and the frame reinforcement the shape requires. Oversized sliding doors on equestrian properties run $6,000 to $18,000 depending on glass rating, track system, and whether the existing header needs to be rebuilt. Architectural grilles and SDLs add $40 to $110 per square foot of glass. The single biggest cost mover on older Wellington homes is what’s inside the wall when we open it: rotted jamb framing, outdated wiring, or a header that doesn’t meet current code. We write that allowance into the contract before work starts, and any additional work is priced and approved in writing before we touch it. Call (561) 349-4826 for a free written estimate.

FAQs - Custom Windows & Doors in Wellington
Wellington does not require Miami-Dade NOA approval. The village sits outside the High Velocity Hurricane Zone that covers Miami-Dade and Broward, so a product with a Florida Product Approval (FL number) meets code for impact-rated replacement in Wellington. That distinction matters at quote time, because NOA-compliant products are often more expensive, and requiring them would be a mistake on a Wellington house. Call (561) 349-4826 and we’ll quote you the right product line for Wellington code, not a more expensive coastal spec.
Because the original single-pane aluminum frames on 1990s CBS homes in Wellington rot the jamb wood once the seal fails, and the wiring and framing behind them don’t always meet current code. When we opened a 1994 CBS ranch in Olympia to install custom double-hung impact windows, we found rotted jamb framing from years of seal failure plus wiring that wasn’t up to current code. We wrote the reframing and electrical allowance into the contract upfront, priced the additional work in writing before touching it, and got the homeowner to final inspection without a single surprise. That’s how we handle every Wellington job. Call (561) 349-4826 for a free estimate.
Yes. Wellington sits in Florida’s wind-borne debris region, and Palm Beach County mandates impact-rated products on any permitted window or door change-out, regardless of water proximity. The village being 15 miles from the coast doesn’t reduce the wind-load requirement. Hurricane Wilma in 2005 tracked southwest-to-northeast and slammed inland western Palm Beach County harder than many coastal cities, which is exactly why code applies the way it does. Call (561) 349-4826 for a quote on impact-rated custom windows that meet Wellington code.
We start with the HOA’s architectural guidelines and the Palm Beach County wind-load spec, then find the product line that satisfies both. Oversized impact-rated sliders in Palm Beach Polo and Mallet Hill have to carry commercial-grade sizing while the frame profile and SDL pattern still pass the board’s residential aesthetic review. We submit drawings that make the approval process a formality, and the door is installed with both warranty layers registered in writing. Call (561) 349-4826 for a free estimate.
Fog between the panes means the seal has failed, and on an older Wellington unit the frame is usually degraded enough that a glass-only IGU swap leaves the same failure mode in a new thermal unit. If the frame is aluminum single-pane from the 1980s or 1990s, you don’t have a sealed double-pane unit at all, and the correct fix is full replacement with an impact-rated unit that meets current code. We’ll assess it honestly and give you the price either way. Call (561) 349-4826 for a free estimate.
