We’ve installed and replaced windows across Hobe Sound since 2012 - from the older Florida ranch homes near Zeus Park to the newer construction in Olympus and the waterfront properties along the Indian River Lagoon. Every one of those 18,000+ openings was documented with a written price before a tool was lifted and a photo record when the job finished. That’s Haven Clause 1: Have it in writing. The measurement and the quote are the same document. No change orders, no surprises.

Our technicians are background-checked, uniformed, and identified by license number before arrival - Haven Clause 3. The person at your door is the person on the record. And if something isn’t done right, we make it right under the 365-Day Done Right Promise, written into every job, not offered as a courtesy.

What Our Window Installation Service Includes

Single & Double Hung Windows

Single hung windows have one operable sash; double hung windows have two, which matters in Hobe Sound’s climate because you can open the top sash to vent warm air while keeping the bottom closed for security. We see these most often in the ranch and bungalow stock built between 1960 and 1990 in neighborhoods like Hobe Sound Acres and the original sections of Olympus. Our measured survey records the exact rough opening dimensions, the existing frame condition, and the sightline measurement - the visible glass area from the interior - so the replacement unit matches or improves the original daylighting. We specify from our eight manufacturer lines based on your performance tier and price range, not what we have in stock.

Horizontal Roller Windows

Horizontal rollers, or slider windows, move along a track rather than lifting, which makes them practical for wide openings and for homeowners who prefer the operation to a hung sash. In Hobe Sound, we install these frequently in rooms that face the Intracoastal Waterway or the golf courses at Lost Lake, where the width of the opening matters more than the height. Our survey documents the track wear, the roller condition, and whether the existing frame is square - a common issue in coastal construction where settling occurs. We specify units from PGT, CGI, or CWS depending on the impact rating required and the U-factor you need for your FPL bill.

3-Panel Sliding (3-Lite Roller) Windows

3-Panel Sliding (3-Lite Roller) Windows give you two operable panels flanking a fixed center lite, or all three operable depending on the configuration - the distinction matters for egress and for ventilation calculations under the Florida Building Code. We measure these for homes in newer Hobe Sound developments where the great room or master bedroom has a panoramic view requirement. The critical specification is the interlock detail between panels, which determines water infiltration resistance during our summer thunderstorms. Our written scope names the exact interlock profile, the glazing package, and the installation method - perimeter sealant or integral fin - so you know what you’re paying for before we start.

Casement Windows

Casement Windows hinge at the side and crank outward, catching the southeast breeze that comes off the Atlantic in Hobe Sound - a genuine functional advantage over hung or slider units for natural ventilation. We install these for clients who want operable units in a shower or above a kitchen sink, where a hung sash would be awkward to reach. The hardware specification is critical: the crank mechanism, the multi-point lock, and the hinge reinforcement for impact-rated versions. Our photo record documents each of these components installed and operational before we leave.

Awning & Hopper Windows

Awning & Hopper Windows hinge at the top and open outward; hoppers hinge at the bottom and open inward. The distinction matters for Hobe Sound’s rain exposure - awnings can stay open during light rain, which is useful for venting humidity from a laundry room or bath. Hoppers we install in basement-level spaces or in conditioned crawl areas where outward operation isn’t possible. Both types require precise sash-to-frame compression at the lock rail to pass the water infiltration test. Our measured survey records the exact hinge placement and the lock strike location so the replacement unit seals correctly on day one.

Picture & Fixed Windows

Picture windows do not open. They exist for light, view, and thermal performance - and in Hobe Sound, for impact resistance without the weak point of an operable sash. We specify these for gable ends, stairwells, and any opening where ventilation is handled elsewhere. The critical measurement is the sightline: the width of the frame profile that interrupts your view. Our eight manufacturer lines range from 2-5/8 inch to 4-1/2 inch frame depths, and we specify by what the opening requires, not by margin. The written quote names the exact frame depth, the glazing thickness, and the installation method.

Bay & Bow Windows

Bay & Bow Windows project in three planes; bow windows in a continuous curve of four, five, or six lites. Both create interior floor space and exterior architectural interest, but they also create a structural load that must be supported - either by a cable system from above or by a bearing knee wall below. In Hobe Sound’s older homes, we frequently find that the original support has degraded or was never adequate for the wind load. Our survey includes a structural assessment of the existing support, documented in the photo record, and the written scope names any required reinforcement before the window installation begins.

Garden Windows

Garden windows are mini-greenhouse projections, typically over a kitchen sink, with sloped glass above and fixed or operable sides. They collect heat and light - useful in Hobe Sound’s winter months, but requiring careful specification in summer to avoid overheating. We specify low-SHGC glazing for south and west exposures, and we document the existing countertop and cabinet clearance because the projection depth affects your workspace. The written quote includes the interior shelf configuration and the operating hardware for the side vents, if specified.

Brands We Service for Window Installation

We work with eight verified manufacturer lines, specified by performance tier and price range: PGT, CGI, CWS, ES Windows, ECO Window Systems, Mr-Glass, Therma-Tru, and ViewLux. For impact-rated installations in Hobe Sound, we frequently specify CGI and CWS - both Miami-Dade County approved for the High-Velocity Hurricane Zone that includes Martin County. We’ve installed hundreds of CGI WinGuard units in the waterfront properties along Gomez Avenue and Dolphin Drive, and we stock CWS replacement hardware for same-day service calls when a lock or roller fails. ES Windows and ECO Window Systems offer strong value in the energy-efficient tier, with U-factors below 0.30 and SHGC ratings that matter for your FPL cooling load in July and August.

Whether you have PGT, ViewLux, or any other make currently installed, we can service, repair, or replace it. Our measured survey identifies the existing manufacturer from the frame profile and the glass etch mark when visible, and we match or upgrade the performance specification from there. If you’re considering a new installation and want to compare lines, we bring sample sections to the survey appointment - actual frame corners, not photographs - so you can handle the product before you commit.

Signs You Need Window Installation Right Now

• Visible frame rot or water staining on the interior drywall. In Hobe Sound’s humid climate, wood and composite frames absorb moisture through failed perimeter sealant, and the damage spreads to the rough opening framing behind. We document this with moisture meter readings and thermal imaging during our survey, and the photo record shows you exactly what we found before you authorize the work.
• Operation requires force, or the sash won’t stay open. This indicates balance system failure in hung units, or roller and track wear in sliders. It’s not just inconvenient - a window that slams shut is a safety hazard, and a unit that won’t open is a fire egress violation under the Florida Building Code. Our written scope names the exact component failure and the replacement specification.
• Condensation between the glass panes. This means the insulating glass unit (IGU) seal has failed, and the low-E coating and argon fill are compromised. Your thermal performance drops to that of a single pane, which you’ll see on your FPL bill. We measure the visible condensation pattern and specify a replacement IGU or full sash replacement depending on frame condition.
• Air infiltration detectable by hand near the sash perimeter. In Hobe Sound, this means you’re cooling the outdoors and drawing humid air into the wall cavity, where it can promote mold growth. Our survey includes a smoke pencil test at the lock rail and meeting stile to locate the exact leak path, and the written quote specifies the weatherstrip replacement or full unit replacement required to seal it.
• Impact-rated units with cracked or delaminated glass. Even a small crack compromises the laminated interlayer that holds the glass in place during a wind-borne debris event. After Hurricane Nicole in 2022, we replaced dozens of units in Hobe Sound where the damage was visible only on close inspection. Our photo record documents the interlayer condition before and after replacement.

Our Window Installation Installation Process - Step by Step

1. 1
   Measured survey and written quote. We arrive at your Hobe Sound property with a laser measure, moisture meter, and thermal imager. The technician records rough opening dimensions, frame condition, sightline measurements, and any structural or trim issues. You keep a copy of the survey; the written quote references every measurement and specifies the exact product by manufacturer, series, and options. Haven Clause 1: the price cannot differ from this document.
2. 2
   Product order and permit application. Once you authorize the quote, we order from the manufacturer and apply for the Martin County building permit. Impact-rated installations require product approval documentation and Miami-Dade or Florida Product Approval numbers, which we verify and include in the permit package. You receive a copy of the permit application and the product data sheet for your records.
3. 3
   Scheduled arrival and verified crew. Haven Clause 3: the technician who arrives is background-checked, uniformed, and identified by license number. We call ahead with a 30-minute notice, and the crew lead reviews the written scope with you before removing the first existing unit. The photo record begins with the pre-installation condition of each opening.
4. 4
   Installation and real-time documentation. Each opening is prepared, flashed, and sealed according to the manufacturer’s published installation instructions and the Florida Building Code. We photograph the rough opening after preparation, the flashing detail, the insulation placement, and the finished interior and exterior. These images are uploaded to your job record before we leave the property.
5. 5
   Final inspection and 365-Day Done Right Promise. We operate every sash, verify every lock, and clean every surface. The crew lead reviews the photo record with you and obtains your signature on the completion document. The 365-Day Done Right Promise is in effect from that date: if it’s not done right, we make it right. No call centers, no dispute process - the promise is written into the Haven Standard that governs every job.
