AfterHow Much Does Custom Window & Door Order Cost in Boca Raton?
Custom window and door orders in Boca Raton typically run between $800 and $6,500 per opening, depending on size, glazing spec, impact rating, and the product line specified. Most single-family homeowners in Boca Raton budget $12,000 to $45,000 for a full-house custom order across 10 to 20 openings, with labor included. Those figures reflect what we see on actual measured surveys in this market, not national averages pulled from a trade magazine.
At Sightline Windows & Doors, the written price you receive before any work starts is the same document as your measured survey - that’s Haven Clause 1, and it has applied to every one of the 18,000+ openings we’ve touched since 2012. There are no revised invoices on delivery day.

Custom Window & Door Order Cost Breakdown in Boca Raton (2026)
Custom orders cover a wider range than stock replacement work because every dimension, frame profile, glazing unit, and hardware finish is specified from scratch. The table below reflects current Boca Raton market pricing for supply and installation combined. These are real ranges from our measured surveys in neighborhoods like Broken Sound, Royal Palm Yacht & Country Club, Boca West, and the barrier-island corridors along A1A where impact performance requirements drive most of the cost.
| Product Category | Typical Unit Range (supply + install) | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Custom Impact Single Hung or Double Hung Window (up to 48″ x 72″) | $800 – $1,800 | PGT WinGuard, CGI Guardian; most common spec in Boca Raton single-family homes |
| Custom Impact Picture / Fixed Window (large format, up to 72″ x 96″) | $1,200 – $3,200 | CWS or ES Windows; pricing rises with glass area and low-E coating spec |
| Custom Geometric / Specialty Shape Window (arch, trapezoid, circle) | $1,400 – $4,500 | ECO Window Systems and ViewLux handle most custom geometry orders in this market |
| Custom Impact Entry Door (single, pre-hung) | $2,200 – $5,800 | Therma-Tru and PGT; mahogany grain, fiberglass, or aluminum; sidelite adds $600-$1,400 |
| Custom Impact French / Double Entry Door | $4,500 – $9,500 | Hardware finish and glass pattern are the main cost levers |
| Custom Sliding Glass Door (6′ to 12′ opening) | $2,800 – $6,500 | PGT WinGuard or CGI; pocket-style track upgrade adds $400-$900 |
| Custom Impact Casement or Awning Window | $900 – $2,200 per sash | ECO Window Systems and CWS; popular in Boca Raton’s newer interior subdivisions |
| Custom Garage Door (single car, impact-rated) | $2,600 – $5,200 | Mr-Glass; steel or aluminum panel with wind load engineering letter included |
| Custom Garage Door (double car, impact-rated) | $4,000 – $7,800 | Mr-Glass; flush or raised-panel custom finish; windborne debris zone pricing |
| Full-House Custom Impact Order (10-20 openings) | $12,000 – $45,000 | Written scope, measured survey, and photo record included as standard |
What Moves the Number Up or Down
The single biggest cost driver in Boca Raton is the impact rating specification. Palm Beach County sits inside a High-Velocity Hurricane Zone (HVHZ) per the Florida Building Code, which means every new or replacement window and door in Boca Raton must meet a specific design pressure (DP) rating for the opening’s wind exposure category. An oceanfront property on A1A requires a higher DP rating than a home on a sheltered lot in Boca West, and that spec difference alone can shift a window’s unit cost by $200 to $600.
Frame material is the second lever. Aluminum extrusions used in impact-rated product lines like CGI and PGT cost more per linear foot than standard vinyl, but they hold sightline tolerances better over time in South Florida’s humidity and UV environment. A custom aluminum-framed casement with a thermally broken extrusion will run 25-40% more than a vinyl-framed equivalent, and in Boca Raton that premium is usually worth it because vinyl frames in direct southwest sun exposure can deflect enough to create glazing seal issues within five to eight years.
Glass spec adds real cost: low-E coatings reduce solar heat gain coefficient (SHGC) and U-factor, which matter for energy efficiency in Boca Raton’s climate zone. Laminated impact glass is code-required here regardless, but upgrading from a standard laminate to a high-performance low-E unit with a U-factor below 0.30 typically adds $80 to $180 per window. That investment usually pays back in reduced cooling load on a home that runs AC ten months a year.
Size and shape matter proportionally to glass area. Custom geometric shapes, especially large arched transoms above entry doors in Boca Raton’s Mediterranean-revival and CBS construction homes, require templated measurements and often a longer lead time from the fabricator. Budget an extra $300 to $800 per specialty shape unit for the templating and fabrication premium.

What Affects Custom Window & Door Order Pricing in Boca Raton
- HVHZ impact rating and design pressure (DP) requirement: Every opening in Boca Raton must meet Palm Beach County’s HVHZ standards. Oceanfront and exposed corner lots carry higher DP specs than interior subdivisions, and the fabricator prices the glass package accordingly. We see this drive a $200-$600 per-unit difference on A1A properties versus inland addresses in West Boca Raton.
- Product line and manufacturer lead time: The eight lines we carry – PGT, CGI, CWS, ES Windows, ECO Window Systems, Mr-Glass, Therma-Tru, and ViewLux – each have their own fabrication timelines and price tiers. A CWS or ViewLux custom order may carry a four to eight week lead versus a shorter run for a standard PGT WinGuard unit. Lead time doesn’t change the unit price, but it affects project scheduling, which can affect labor staging costs on larger orders.
- Opening size and glass area: Custom pricing is calculated per square foot of glass, not per window count. A single 8-foot-wide fixed picture window in a great room can cost more than three standard double-hung windows in bedrooms. Boca Raton’s newer CBS homes and high-rise condos often have large fixed glazing areas that push per-opening costs to the upper end of the range.
- Frame and finish specification: Standard white powder coat is the base price. Bronze, dark bronze, or custom RAL color finishes add $60 to $150 per window. Hardware finish upgrades on entry doors – brushed nickel, oil-rubbed bronze, matte black – typically add $120 to $350 per door depending on the hardware set specified.
- Structural opening modifications: Some custom orders require the rough opening to be modified, either widened, raised, or reinforced, before the new unit can be installed. In Boca Raton’s older CBS construction homes, particularly in neighborhoods like Camino Gardens or Boca Raton Heights, we regularly find that the original opening dimensions are non-standard and need a masonry cut or header reinforcement. That work runs $400 to $1,200 per opening depending on wall construction type.
- Permit fees and inspection scheduling: Palm Beach County pulls permits for all window and door replacements in Boca Raton. Permit fees vary by project valuation but typically run $150 to $600 for a residential order. We pull the permit on your behalf as part of the written scope. Inspection scheduling depends on Palm Beach County Building Division workload, which has run two to four weeks in recent months, so factor that into your timeline.
- Disposal and site conditions: Removing old aluminum jalousie windows, original single-pane sliding glass doors, or deteriorated wood entry systems adds labor and disposal cost. Budget $50 to $150 per opening for removal and disposal of the existing unit, more if there is asbestos-containing glazing compound present in pre-1980 frames.

BeforeAfterHow to Save on a Custom Window & Door Order in Boca Raton
The most reliable way to reduce total cost is to get the specification right before anyone fabricates anything. A custom order is not a stock item you can return. If the measured survey is off by even a quarter inch on a large fixed picture window, the unit comes back to the fabricator, the lead time resets, and the homeowner absorbs delay. We’ve completed over 18,000 openings since 2012 specifically because our measured survey and the final invoice are the same document – no spec changes after the survey, no reorder fees passed to the customer.
Combine Openings Into a Single Order
Fabricators price custom runs on volume. A single-window order carries a setup and templating cost that gets spread across more units when you batch the work. If you’re planning to replace windows in phases, consider whether a full-house order now reduces your per-unit fabrication cost enough to justify the upfront investment. On a 15-window Boca Raton home, batching the order rather than splitting it into two or three phases can save $600 to $1,800 in fabrication setup costs alone.
Specify Glass Performance Honestly, Not Aspirationally
Not every window in your home needs the top-tier low-E glass package. Bedrooms on a north-facing wall in Boca Raton get minimal direct sun exposure, and upgrading those windows to the same SHGC spec as your southwest-facing living room glazing adds cost without proportional energy savings. We specify each opening based on its orientation and exposure – that’s what the measured survey documents, opening by opening.
Use the Free Second Opinion
If you have a written estimate from another Boca Raton contractor, bring it to us. We review competitor quotes at no charge – not to undercut blindly, but to identify whether the spec, the product line, and the installation scope are actually comparable. We see quotes regularly in this market that are priced low because they spec a non-impact vinyl window in a zone that requires HVHZ-rated product, which fails inspection and creates reorder cost. A lower number on a quote that specifies the wrong product is not a savings.
Ask About Manufacturer Lead Time Before Committing
Some product lines carry longer fabrication windows than others. If your project has a hard deadline – a real estate closing, a HOA inspection window, or a seasonal concern – ask which lines have current availability. We work with eight manufacturers specifically so we can match the right spec to the right timeline without forcing the product choice based on what’s sitting in a warehouse.
Get the Written Price First
This sounds obvious, but a significant portion of the calls we receive in Boca Raton are from homeowners who’ve already committed to a project based on a verbal quote and are now seeing a different number on the invoice. Haven Clause 1 – Have it in writing – means your written price is fixed before a tool touches your home. Call (561) 200-8592 and our team will schedule a measured survey at no charge. The document you receive from that survey is the price you pay.
Check Florida’s Building Product Incentives
Florida’s Building Code-compliant impact window and door replacements may qualify for property insurance discounts through your carrier’s wind mitigation credit program. Ask your insurer for a wind mitigation inspection after the installation is complete – in Palm Beach County, verified impact-rated openings have reduced annual premiums by $400 to $1,800 for some homeowners, which effectively offsets a portion of the custom order cost over a few years. We provide the documented photo record and product specs you’ll need to support that inspection.

FAQs: Custom Window & Door Order Cost in Boca Raton
How much does a custom impact window cost in Boca Raton in 2026?
A custom impact window in Boca Raton costs between $800 and $3,200 per unit installed, depending on size, frame material, and glass spec. A standard custom double-hung in aluminum with laminated impact glass and a low-E coating runs $900 to $1,600 for most openings in single-family homes. Large fixed or picture windows in great rooms push toward $2,000 to $3,200. Geometric shapes – arched transoms, trapezoids, full circles – start at $1,400 and can reach $4,500 depending on the fabricator and the template complexity. Call (561) 200-8592 for a written price based on your specific openings – the estimate is free and the price doesn’t change after the survey.
What is the cost of a custom impact entry door in Boca Raton?
Custom impact entry doors in Boca Raton run $2,200 to $5,800 for a single pre-hung door, and $4,500 to $9,500 for a French or double-entry configuration. Therma-Tru fiberglass doors sit toward the middle of that range; PGT aluminum-framed systems tend to run toward the upper end. Adding a sidelite or transom glass unit adds $600 to $1,400 to the project cost. Hardware selection – lock set, handle set, hinges, and threshold finish – adds another $120 to $350 depending on the finish specified. All entry door replacements in Boca Raton require a permit, which we pull as part of the written scope.
Do custom window orders in Boca Raton require a permit?
Yes. All window and door replacements in Boca Raton require a permit from Palm Beach County Building Division, regardless of whether it’s a like-for-like replacement or a new custom unit. This is a code requirement under the Florida Building Code for HVHZ jurisdictions, not optional. Permit fees typically run $150 to $600 depending on project valuation. We pull the permit on your behalf as part of every written scope – it’s included in the price you receive before work starts, not added afterward. Any contractor who skips the permit is exposing you to a code violation that can surface at resale.
How long does a custom window and door order take in Boca Raton?
Most custom orders in Boca Raton have a four to ten week lead time from signed scope to installation, depending on the product line and current fabrication schedules. Standard PGT WinGuard and CGI units on common sizes can run closer to three to five weeks. ViewLux and CWS specialty or large-format orders sometimes carry six to eight weeks. After delivery, installation of a full-house order typically takes two to four days depending on the number of openings and any structural work required. Permit inspection scheduling through Palm Beach County adds two to four weeks to the overall timeline at the end of the project. We document the full schedule in your written scope before work starts – Haven Clause 2, Arrive on schedule, means we hold to that timeline or we communicate the reason in writing.
Is it cheaper to order custom windows or buy stock windows in Boca Raton?
Stock windows cost 15 to 30% less per unit than custom-fabricated windows at the point of purchase, but that comparison is only valid when a stock size actually fits your opening. In Boca Raton, homes built before 1990 frequently have non-standard opening dimensions that don’t match any manufacturer’s stock size. Forcing a stock unit into a non-standard opening requires filler strips, modified frames, or rough-opening modifications that add cost and reduce the sightline – the visible glass area. On a home with standard openings, stock can save money. On a home with custom geometry or non-standard masonry openings, the “cheaper” stock option often costs more by the time installation is complete. The measured survey tells you which situation you’re in before you commit to either path. Call (561) 200-8592 and we’ll run the comparison for you in writing.
Does Sightline Windows & Doors serve all of Boca Raton?

Our Custom Window & Door Order in Boca Raton service covers the full city – from Boca Raton’s barrier island properties along A1A to interior master-planned communities like Broken Sound, Boca West, Woodfield Country Club, and the neighborhoods off Glades Road in West Boca Raton.
