AfterTrusted Custom & Geometric Windows for Hollywood Homeowners
Custom and geometric windows in Hollywood, FL are not a stock-item job. They are built to fit an opening that may have settled, shifted, or been framed by hand forty years ago. TruePane Windows & Doors has installed, replaced, and repaired shaped windows across Hollywood since 2008, and Dale Kessler still runs every job by the rule on the whiteboard: if the pane is not true, the job is not done. A live person answers our phone 24 hours a day at (863) 334-2933, and we measure every opening twice before a single window is ordered. That matters when the window is a radius arch over a front door or an octagon accent in a gable. These are the windows that show mistakes first, and Hollywood has enough heat, salt air, and hurricane weather to expose them fast.
We do not rush a custom window. We quote it on paper, register both manufacturer warranty layers in writing, and back the installation with our Done Right Promise. If it is not done right, we make it right, no paperwork fight and no arguing. That is how a second-generation glazier works in a town where a fogged seal on a shaped window means looking at it every single day until someone fixes it properly.
What Our Custom & Geometric Windows Service Includes
Custom means the window is made for the opening, not the other way around. Geometric means the window is a shape other than a standard rectangle: an arch, a circle, a triangle, a trapezoid, a pentagon, a radius top. Hollywood homes built from the 1950s through the 1980s are full of these, and most of them are now forty to seventy years old. Here is what we do under this service.
Custom Impact Windows
A custom impact window is a shaped or non-standard window built to meet Florida’s high-velocity hurricane zone requirements. Homeowners in Hollywood east of US-1 know the code pressure ratings are not optional, and a non-standard opening cannot take a stock impact unit off the shelf. We measure the rough opening down to the eighth of an inch, specify the glass package and frame profile to the shape, and have the unit fabricated to pass the same wind load and missile impact tests as any rectangular impact window. TruePane is an authorized installer for more than a dozen manufacturer lines, including PGT and CGI, which means we can compare impact options side by side on paper and show you exactly what you are buying before you sign anything.
Geometric & Shaped Windows
Geometric windows are the square, triangle, trapezoid, and octagon accent units that give a room daylight without taking up usable wall space. They are common in Hollywood’s mid-century and Mediterranean-style homes, often set high on a wall or flanking a fireplace. These windows fail differently than rectangles: the angles concentrate stress at the corners, and a poor install will show seal failure or stress cracks within a few seasons. We set geometric windows plumb, level, and square in the opening, shim at the corners not the flat runs, and tool the sealant so the corner joints stay watertight through Hollywood’s summer downpours.
Arched & Curved Windows
Arched and curved windows include radius tops, full half-rounds, quarter-rounds, and eyebrow arches. They are the hardest windows to measure correctly because the curve has to match the opening exactly, and the opening may have been framed and drywalled around a window that was already out of round. We take a physical template of the curve, not just width and height, and we order the radius from that template. This is the difference between a curved window that drops into the opening and one that gets forced in with a two-by-four and a bad attitude. In Hollywood neighborhoods like Emerald Hills and Lakes of Sheridan, we regularly replace arched units that were installed years ago with exactly that kind of force fit, and the seal failure showed up within five years.
Oversized Openings
An oversized opening is any window run wider than about eight feet or taller than about six feet, including picture window walls and fixed glass gable ends. These openings need structural support built into the frame design, and the glass package has to be specified for wind load across a large unsupported span. We engineer oversized custom windows with the manufacturer, including laminated glass and reinforced mullions where the code calls for them. TruePane crews have handled oversized openings in Hollywood homes for over four decades, and we still treat every one of them as a custom job with its own measurements, its own glass spec, and its own permit where required.

Brands We Service for Custom & Geometric Windows
We are an authorized installer for ES Windows, and we have worked with their custom geometric line for years. ES builds shaped units with the same thermally broken frames and low-E glass packages as their rectangular windows, which means a radius top over a Hollywood front door gets the same energy performance as the rest of the wall. We register the ES warranty layers in writing for every custom unit we install through TruePane, and we walk you through both warranty documents before the truck leaves your driveway.
We also work regularly with ECO Window Systems on impact-rated shaped and oversized openings. ECO’s laminated glass packages hold up in Hollywood’s coastal exposure, and we know their custom fabrication lead times well enough to set realistic expectations before you commit. If your home has Mr-Glass or Therma-Tru custom units, we service those too, and we stock common OEM hardware for those lines so a repair does not turn into a six-week parts wait. Whether your custom or geometric window carries one of those names or any other make, we can measure it, quote it, and set it true.
Signs You Need Custom & Geometric Windows Right Now
- Fog between the panes on a shaped window. A failed seal on an octagon or arch window means the insulating gas is gone and the unit has lost its thermal performance. On a non-standard shape, the replacement has to be custom fabricated, and the longer you wait, the more the frame can absorb moisture and swell in Hollywood’s humidity.
- Daylight visible at the corner joints. Geometric windows concentrate stress at the corners. If you can see light through a corner joint from inside, the frame is racking or the sealant has failed, and water is next. We see this most often on older triangle and trapezoid units in Hollywood’s Lakes neighborhood.
- Water staining on drywall below an arched or curved window. Arched windows shed water differently than rectangles, and if the curved flashing was never done right, water runs along the curve and into the wall cavity. By the time the stain shows, the leak has been running for a while. We find the actual entry point, not just the stain.
- Hard-to-operate casement or awning windows in non-standard sizes. A geometric window that is out of square binds in its own frame. If you have to shoulder a radius-top sash open in July, the unit has moved out of true, and forcing it just bends hardware. We realign or replace it before the hardware tears out of the frame.
- A cracked pane in an oversized fixed window. A crack in a large picture window or gable glass is a safety and inspection issue, and on impact-rated glass it means the lite may no longer meet its wind load rating. Hollywood building code does not grandfather in damaged glass, and your insurer may not either. We measure and replace the lite to the original spec.
Our Custom & Geometric Windows Process - Step by Step
- 1
Measure and template. We come to your Hollywood home, take width and height at three points on every side of the opening, and take a physical template of any curved or radius profile. We also check the rough opening for square, plumb, and level so we know whether the window gets shimmed or the opening gets corrected before we order anything.
- 2
Side-by-side quote on paper. We quote the manufacturers who can actually build your shape, with the glass package, frame material, and warranty duration written out for each one. You see the numbers next to each other, not bundled into one vague line item. This is the square deal Dale Kessler has run on since 2008, and it traces back to his father’s shop before that.
- 3
Fabrication and lead time. Custom and geometric windows are made to order, which means lead times run longer than stock units. We tell you the real timeline before you commit, and we do not pad it. When the unit arrives, we inspect the frame and glass at our shop before it ever goes on the truck to your house.
- 4
Installation. Our background-checked, uniformed technicians set the unit in the opening, shim it true, and secure it to the manufacturer’s fastening schedule. We flash and seal every corner and curve, and we tool the joints so water cannot sit in a seam. We work in your home the way we would work in our own mother’s.
- 5
Warranty registration and walkthrough. Before we leave, we register both manufacturer warranty layers in writing and hand you the documentation with the durations stated. Then we walk the install with you, show you how the window operates, and confirm everything is clean and true. Our Done Right Promise covers the workmanship from that day forward, no fine print that covers neither.
How Much Does Custom & Geometric Windows Cost in Hollywood?
A custom geometric accent window in Hollywood typically runs $700 to $1,800 per unit depending on size, frame material, and glass package. A custom impact-rated arched window runs $1,400 to $3,500, and an oversized fixed window wall can run $2,500 to $7,000 or more depending on span, glass thickness, and whether the opening needs structural reinforcement. These are real ranges for this market, not national averages, and they reflect what we see on Hollywood jobs from Emerald Hills to the beachside high-rises.
What moves the price: glass package (single, double, low-E, laminated, impact), frame material (vinyl, aluminum, wood-clad), the complexity of the curve, and whether the rough opening needs corrective framing before the new unit goes in. The way to avoid overpaying is to get your quote line by line and to ask whether the warranty is actually registered, not just mentioned in the sales pitch. A free estimate from TruePane includes all measurements, the side-by-side manufacturer comparison, and a written price that does not change once the work starts. No surprise line items, no change orders unless you ask for a change.

If the pane is not true, the job is not done.
