New windows and doors improve comfort, cut energy bills and add long-term value to your home. Sightline Windows & Doors Hobe Sound pairs proven product lines with our own installing crews for lasting performance - and a price we put in writing.
1. Choose your installer
The unit is half the job - the install is the other half. Our own background-checked crews measure, set, seal and insulate every opening, and they know the lines we quote inside and out because they install them every week.
2. Select the right products
Compare styles, materials and glass packages side by side until the fit is right for your rooms, your budget and your goals. The product-line comparison below is the place to start.
3. Prepare your home for install
Before install day we walk you through a short checklist - furniture pulled back, treatments down, a clear path to each opening - so install day is watch-it-happen, not scramble.

CWS Custom & Geometric Windows in Hobe Sound: What to Know First
We provide independent CWS custom and geometric window service in Hobe Sound, from arched impact units to oversized rectangular openings, with written pricing before any work starts and a 365-Day Done Right Promise on every job. Typical measured survey-to-install timelines run 4-6 weeks for custom CWS orders, depending on glass specification and current lead times. We are not affiliated with or authorized by CWS; we are an independent CWS service provider that sources OEM or verified aftermarket parts by what the opening requires, not by what is in stock.
This page is for Hobe Sound homeowners who already own CWS windows and need custom shapes replaced, upgraded to impact-rated, or matched in a renovation where standard rectangles will not work. If you are comparing CWS against other lines, we also specify PGT, CGI, ES Windows, ECO Window Systems, Mr-Glass, Therma-Tru, and ViewLux by performance tier and price range. Call (772) 362-5967 to schedule your free measured survey; the written quote you receive is the same document we work from.
How CWS Products Fail - and How We Fix Them
- CWS Axiom Series arched tops: seal decompression in the curved jamb. The Axiom’s thermal break channel narrows at the radius, and Hobe Sound’s afternoon heat cycling - especially on west-facing elevations - pushes the dual-seal out of its groove. We see this on homes near Peck Lake where reflected light off the water amplifies the effect. We remove the sash, reseat the seal with a backer rod suited to the radius, and pressure-test before the unit leaves our shop.
- CWS Estate Collection geometric units: corner key stress cracking in diamond and trapezoid shapes. The Estate’s screw-set corner keys carry shear differently than welded joints; after five to seven years, the acute angles in geometric configurations develop hairline fractures at the keyway. We disassemble the frame, inspect each key for deformation, and replace with either OEM keys or machined aluminum inserts where the original spec has been superseded.
- CWS impact-rated custom units: laminated glass delamination at the edge bite. CWS specifies a 5/8-inch minimum edge bite on their impact laminates, but in custom shapes with notched or curved perimeters, the fabricator sometimes trims closer to accommodate the profile. Salt air in Hobe Sound accelerates the edge creep. We measure the actual bite with a feeler gauge, document it in the photo record, and re-glaze with stock that meets or exceeds the original specification.
- CWS oversized rectangular units: sill track bowing on spans over 72 inches. The standard CWS sill profile lacks intermediate support at that span; in Hobe Sound, where the humidity swings 40 points between March and August, the aluminum grows and the track goes out of level. We install a composite sill pan with integrated sleeper blocks at 24-inch centers, which we have found prevents recurrence without altering the sightline.
- CWS fixed geometric accent windows: weep channel blockage from coastal debris. These small, non-operable shapes - circles, half-rounds, ellipses - often sit high on the wall where homeowners do not inspect them. The weep slots are small and flush with the frame face; Hobe Sound’s pollen season and occasional sand accumulation clog them within two years. We clear the channels, verify drainage with a water test, and install stainless mesh screens where the original lacked them.
Before
AfterOur CWS Custom & Geometric Windows Process
- 1
Measured survey. Sonia Raman or a verified crew member arrives with a laser measure and a printed template set for CWS profiles. We record rough opening dimensions, sightline clearances, and existing frame conditions. You keep the survey document; it becomes the basis for the written quote.
- 2
Diagnostics and parts decision. We identify the CWS series, manufacturing date range, and whether the original components are still available. When OEM parts are back-ordered or superseded, we specify verified aftermarket alternatives and note the substitution in writing before ordering.
- 3
Fabrication or procurement. Custom CWS shapes are ordered to the measured survey; no field cutting of frame stock is permitted on impact-rated units per Florida Building Code. We verify the shop drawing against your survey and require your initials before release.
- 4
Installation and glazing. Our technicians arrive uniformed, with license numbers provided at scheduling per Haven Clause 3. We set the unit, shim to the surveyed reveal, and fasten per CWS torque specifications - not “tight enough,” but to the printed number.
- 5
Testing and documentation. Every custom and geometric window is operated through full cycle, checked for square with a digital level, and photographed. The photo record, written scope, and warranty document are delivered before we leave.
- 6
365-Day Done Right follow-up. The Haven Standard requires us to return at one year or upon your call, whichever comes first, to verify seal integrity and operation. No charge. No appointment window - we confirm a time and arrive then.

These are the price ranges we have written on CWS custom and geometric jobs in Hobe Sound over the past eighteen months. Your measured survey determines the exact figure; these brackets are for planning only.
| Scenario | Typical Range |
|---|---|
| CWS standard geometric shape replacement (circle, half-round, quarter-round) - non-impact | $890 - $1,340 |

What moves the price: glass specification (annealed versus laminated versus insulated laminated), grid pattern complexity, whether the original frame can be preserved, and access difficulty on second-story geometric shapes. We do not quote by phone for custom work; the measured survey is Haven Clause 1, and it is free. Call (772) 362-5967 to schedule yours.
Why Hobe Sound Homeowners Call Sightline Windows & Doors Hobe Sound for CWS Work
We have installed and serviced 18,000+ openings since 2012, and a measurable subset of those have been CWS custom and geometric units in Martin County waterfront homes where tolerance is not negotiable. Sonia Raman attributes our callback-free record on impact-rated installations to a simple habit: measure the rough opening twice before ordering anything. “Measure it right the first time, and the door closes the way it’s supposed to - every time after that.”
Our multi-brand capability matters when CWS lead times extend or a series is discontinued. We specify PGT, CGI, ES Windows, and ECO Window Systems by what the opening requires, not by what is in stock, and we will review any competitor’s written estimate at no charge under our Free Second Opinion policy. Every job leaves a documented photo record. Every technician is background-checked, uniformed, and identified by license number before arrival. The price you are quoted is the price on the invoice - Haven Clause 1, no exceptions.
FAQs
It does not automatically void the glass warranty, which is typically ten years from manufacture and travels with the unit serial number, but CWS may decline frame or hardware claims if non-OEM parts were used or installation deviated from their fastening pattern. We document every substitution and torque setting in the photo record so you have evidence if a dispute arises. Call (772) 362-5967 and we will review your warranty documents at no charge.
OEM frame extrusions for discontinued CWS series run 8-12 weeks; current Axiom and Estate lines typically ship in 4-6 weeks. We maintain verified aftermarket relationships for common geometric profiles and will specify whichever source meets your timeline and budget, with the choice documented in writing before order. Call (772) 362-5967 for current lead times on your specific CWS series.
Impact-rated laminated glass can be re-glazed into an existing CWS frame if the frame is square and the seal track is intact; we see this save 30-40% versus full unit replacement on Estate Collection half-rounds. Annealed or non-impact units with frame damage are typically not worth repair. We diagnose on the measured survey and tell you which path applies. Call (772) 362-5967 to schedule.
No. The written quote from your measured survey is the final invoice amount unless you request a scope change in writing. Haven Clause 5 - No surprises - means we have never issued a change order for concealed conditions on a CWS custom job in Hobe Sound. If we miss something in survey, we absorb it. Call (772) 362-5967 for an exact quote; estimates are free.
Yes, for any impact-rated installation or alteration of the rough opening, which describes most custom and geometric work we perform. We pull the permit, schedule inspection, and pass it before final payment is due. The permit number and inspection result are included in your job documentation. Call (772) 362-5967 to confirm permit requirements for your specific project.
