AfterFast, Reliable Custom & Geometric Windows Across Hobe Sound
Custom and geometric windows in Hobe Sound almost always come down to two things: salt air and 1960s rough openings. A standard square replacement from a big-box installer won’t address either. You need a window built for marine exposure and a rough opening rebuilt to hold it. We’re Winslow Windows & Doors, and our Custom & Geometric Windows team has been specifying impact-rated shaped windows for Hobe Sound homes long enough to know which frame alloys survive Bridge Road and which ones pit out in five years. Call (844) 901-4551 and we’ll walk you through what your opening actually needs.
Key Takeaways
- Custom impact windows in Hobe Sound run $2,500-$5,000 per shaped opening installed; whole-home geometric packages start around $8,000.
- Jalousie windows from the 1950s-60s cannot be retrofitted to meet Florida Building Code impact requirements. They must be replaced.
- Salt air from the Intracoastal corrodes standard aluminum hardware on arched and radius windows within a few years. Marine-grade stainless and powder-coated frames are not optional here.
- Every permitted window replacement in Martin County triggers impact-rating compliance. We pull the permit, pass the inspection, and back the work with the Done Right Promise.
Why Winslow Windows & Doors Is Hobe Sound’s Preferred Custom & Geometric Windows Company
Ed Winslow put his name on this company in 2011, and Ed’s name is on the door, and on every job we do. That’s not a slogan. When a Hobe Sound homeowner calls (844) 901-4551 at 2 a.m. because a storm cracked a radius window, a live person answers. Not a voicemail. Not a call center. One of our own people, every hour of every day.
We’ve rebuilt enough original openings in Hobe Sound to know what’s behind the stucco before we cut. CBS ranch homes from the 1950s through the early 1980s dominate the 33455 and 33475 zips, and a surprising number still carry their original jalousie or single-pane aluminum frames. Those frames don’t pocket. They crumble.
Our technicians arrive background-checked and in uniform, so you know exactly who’s at your door. We give upfront line-item pricing, no trip charge inside our home county, free second opinions on any written estimate, and a permanent 10% discount for seniors and veterans. That’s standing policy, not a promotion.
Our Custom & Geometric Windows Services in Hobe Sound
Custom Impact Windows
Impact-rated custom windows in Hobe Sound are not an upgrade. They’re code. Martin County enforces Florida Building Code wind-load and impact-resistance requirements on all permitted replacements, which means even swapping one window triggers full impact compliance on that opening. We specify PGT and CGI units with laminated glass interlayers, stainless hardware, and Miami-Dade NOA listings matched to the design pressure your opening requires. For Hobe Sound, we never spec below the coastal wind zone. Ever.
Geometric & Shaped Windows
Trapezoids, pentagons, octagons, triangles. Hobe Sound ranches from the 1960s use these as accent glass above picture windows and entry doors, and most are framed in oxidized aluminum. We template each opening digitally, fabricate the replacement to the eighth of an inch, and rebuild the rough opening so the new unit doesn’t fight a sagging header. If your shaped window binds when you try to open it, the frame’s already gone.
Arched & Curved Windows
Radius-top windows and true arches are the most salt-sensitive units we install in Hobe Sound. The curved sash puts constant pressure on the hinge geometry, and marine air attacks every pivot point. We specify powder-coated frames with stainless operators and sealed glazing channels. A properly built arched unit in Hobe Sound should open smoothly for two decades. A cheap one seizes in three years.
Oversized Openings
Floor-to-ceiling shaped glass, panoramic corner windows, giant transoms. Oversized openings in 1950s CBS walls usually have deteriorated wood bucks behind the stucco. We rebuild them as sealed, flashed, pressure-rated openings before the new unit goes in. Large custom openings in Hobe Sound typically run $2,500 to $5,000 installed, depending on glass area and wind-load requirements. Call (844) 901-4551 and we’ll measure yours.

Trusted Brands We Service in Hobe Sound
We install and service custom and geometric windows from CGI, CWS, and ES Windows. These are the brands that hold up between the Intracoastal and the Atlantic. We keep stainless hardware and replacement operators on hand for these lines, which means faster turnarounds for Hobe Sound customers than waiting on a distributor shipment from Orlando. If your shaped window carries a different label, call us anyway. We’ll tell you honestly whether it’s worth repairing or whether the salt air has already won.
Common Custom & Geometric Windows Problems We See in Hobe Sound Homes
- Seized casement cranks on shaped windows. The salt-laden air that sits over the Intracoastal reaches homes a mile inland. Standard aluminum crank mechanisms pit and lock up within a few years. The fix is a marine-grade stainless operator, not a can of WD-40.
- Corroded fasteners on radius windows. Non-marine-grade screws and anchors rust at the jamb, letting the glazing shift out of plane. When the next tropical system pushes on that window, it fails the wind-load test. We use only stainless or hot-dip galvanized hardware on every shaped opening in Hobe Sound.
- Oxidized jalousie frames. Hobe Sound’s 1950s-60s stock of jalousie windows is a known pressure point. Those louvered panels cannot meet impact code under any configuration. If a Martin County inspector flags one, it’s a full replacement. We handle the permit, the tear-out, and the new impact unit.
- Leaking sills on full-frame replacements. Older CBS homes often have rotted wood bucks concealed behind stucco. When a contractor drops a laminated glass unit into a compromised buck without sealing it, water finds the sill. We rebuild the opening and flash it properly before the window touches the wall.
What Custom & Geometric Windows Costs in Hobe Sound
Here’s the real math for Hobe Sound, not a national average pulled from a website that’s never seen the Intracoastal. Standard impact windows run $800 to $1,500 per window installed. Impact single-hungs land at $900 to $1,800. Custom shaped and oversized openings, the radius tops, the trapezoids, the floor-to-ceiling arches, run $2,500 to $5,000 each once you factor in marine-grade hardware, full-frame rebuilds, and wind-load engineering. Whole-home packages for a typical 1960s Hobe Sound ranch start around $8,000 and go up from there, typically $25,000 or more for a full geometric impact package with arched transoms and oversized openings.
Three things move the number in Hobe Sound: opening count, wind zone, and frame material. The wind zone is what it is; you can’t negotiate with the Florida Building Code. Frame material is where people try to save, and it’s exactly where they lose. An inland-spec aluminum frame costs maybe 15 to 20 percent less than a coastal-spec powder-coated frame with stainless hardware. That inland frame lasts three to five years on Hobe Sound’s salt air before the hinges pit and the sash binds. Now you’re paying for replacement hardware and resealing, and inside a decade you’re replacing the whole unit. You paid twice. The coastal-spec window costs more on day one and less by year ten.

Pricing for Custom & Geometric Windows in Hobe Sound, FL
Expect to pay $2,500 to $5,000 per custom shaped opening in Hobe Sound, installed. Standard rectangular impact windows run $800 to $1,500 per unit; a whole-home package with arched transoms and geometric accent windows generally lands between $8,000 and $25,000. The gap between the low end and the high end comes down to glass area, frame material, and how much rough-opening rebuild your 1960s CBS walls require. We don’t pad the quote with change orders. The number we write is the number you pay, and the Done Right Promise means if it’s not done right, we make it right. Free in-home measure and written quote. Call (844) 901-4551.
Florida Pays You Back
The incentives stack if you qualify. My Safe Florida Home offers matching grants up to $10,000 for qualifying wind-mitigation upgrades. Florida exempts impact-resistant windows and doors from sales tax. The federal 25C energy credit can return 30 percent of product cost on qualifying units, up to $600 per year. And after a wind-mitigation inspection runs $75 to $150, most Hobe Sound homeowners see windstorm-premium credits averaging around 25 percent on the windstorm portion of their policy. Your insurance carrier and the program administrators set the final numbers, not us. But ask your agent what a jalousie-to-impact conversion does to your premium. That conversation usually pays for the inspection.

FAQs — Custom & Geometric Windows in Hobe Sound
Jalousie windows cannot be retrofitted to meet Florida Building Code impact requirements under any configuration. The louvered glass panels, the pivot hardware, and the frame design simply cannot carry a Miami-Dade NOA listing. If you have jalousies in a Hobe Sound CBS home, and we see them constantly in the original 1950s and 60s stock, the only code-compliant path is full replacement with impact-rated units. We handle the tear-out, the permit, and the inspection. Call (844) 901-4551 for a free measure and an exact quote.
It corrodes it. Standard aluminum operators, zinc-plated screws, and steel pivot pins pit within three to five years this close to the Intracoastal. Casement cranks seize, arched sash binds, and eventually the hardware fails entirely. We specify marine-grade stainless operators, powder-coated frames, and hot-dip galvanized fasteners on every arch and radius window we install in Hobe Sound. The hardware costs more up front and it’s the only spec we’ll stand behind. Call (844) 901-4551 and we’ll show you the difference on your existing windows.
Usually 15 to 20 percent. The inland quote uses standard aluminum frames and zinc hardware. The coastal-spec quote uses powder-coated marine-grade frames, stainless operators, and sealed glazing channels rated for salt exposure. In Hobe Sound, the inland spec fails within a decade because the Intracoastal air corrodes the hardware and pits the frame. You pay twice. We quote coastal-spec as our standard on every shaped window in Hobe Sound, not as an upgrade. Get your written estimate, bring it to us, and we’ll do a free second opinion. Call (844) 901-4551.
Most Hobe Sound homeowners see windstorm-premium credits after a wind-mitigation inspection, which runs $75 to $150 and is ordered through your insurance agent. Your carrier sets the final credit, but homeowners in Martin County typically see around 25 percent off the windstorm portion of the policy after converting to impact-rated windows and doors. Jalousie windows are a known liability on the inspection report. Replacing them with Miami-Dade NOA-listed impact units is one of the highest-return upgrades you can make on a Hobe Sound home, whether the money comes back through premiums, the My Safe Florida Home grant, or the sales-tax exemption. Call (844) 901-4551 for the window quote, then call your agent.
Sometimes, but usually not. Those 1960s rough openings south of Bridge Road were framed with wood bucks that have spent six decades absorbing salt moisture through the stucco. When we pull the old unit, the buck is often rotted or crumbling. Trying to reuse it means the new laminated glass unit leaks at the sill and the concealed rot spreads. We rebuild the opening with sealed, flashed, pressure-rated framing before the new window goes in. It’s more work on the front end and it’s why the job lasts. Free measure, free written quote. Call (844) 901-4551.
