Meet the Boynton Beach Team Behind Sightline Windows & Doors Boynton Beach

Every window and door we install in Boynton Beach passes through the hands of the same crew you’ll meet on your first visit. We’re not a dispatch board matching jobs to whoever’s available. Sonia Raman built this team around people who can measure an opening to the sixteenth, explain U-factor to a homeowner without talking down to them, and leave a photo record that matches the written scope. What unites us is the Haven Standard, and what distinguishes us is that we’ve worked together long enough to catch each other’s mistakes before they reach your house.

Our People

Sonia Raman, Owner

I started Sightline in Boynton Beach in 2012 after watching too many window jobs go sideways over a communication gap, not a craftsmanship gap. The homeowner thought they were getting one thing, the crew installed another, and nobody had a document to settle the argument. Haven Clause 1, the written price before any work starts, exists because I wrote the first hundred of those quotes myself, measured every opening with a tape and a level, and learned that the measurement and the quote should never be two different conversations. I still review every measured survey before it goes out, and I keep a file of the jobs that taught me something, the ones where we had to make it right under the 365-Day Done Right Promise. That file is thicker than I’d like, but it’s why our process is what it is now. When I’m not on a job site, I’m usually updating our product specs from PGT, CGI, CWS, or one of the other six lines we carry, because Florida code changes and the right window for a Boynton Beach coastal opening in 2024 isn’t always the same as 2019.

Marcus T., Lead Technician

Marcus has been with us since 2017, which in this trade means he’s seen the transition from standard vinyl to the current impact-rated builds that most Boynton Beach homeowners are required to carry. He’s certified in PGT WinGuard and CGI Estate installation, and he’s the person Sonia sends when a job has custom geometric windows or a sightline measurement that doesn’t square with the architectural drawings. Marcus keeps a notebook of every odd framing condition he’s encountered in Palm Beach County, from the settling slab issues in older Boynton Beach ranch homes to the new construction tolerances in Quantum Park. His human detail: he will not start a job without coffee from the shop on Gateway Boulevard, and he will not finish one without walking the homeowner through the photo record on his tablet.

Elena R., Senior Installer

Elena came to us from a commercial glazing crew in West Palm, and she brought a rigor about sealant application and flashing integration that raised our whole standard. She specializes in Therma-Tru entry systems and the ES Windows impact line, and she’s the person who checks every apprentice’s first solo caulking job with a flashlight and a moisture meter. In Boynton Beach, where the afternoon thunderstorms test every seal, Elena’s obsession with proper shimming and drainage plane continuity has saved more than one installation from callbacks. She lives in the Hunters Run area, and she’ll tell you that installing windows in a community with golf course sightlines means paying extra attention to reflected UV exposure on south-facing glazing. Off the job, she restores vintage motorcycles, which she says taught her more about precision fitting than any certification course.

Darnell J., Service Coordinator

Darnell is the voice most Boynton Beach customers hear first, and he’s the reason our phones are answered by a live person, not a queue. He schedules every measured survey, coordinates the material pulls from our eight manufacturer lines, and tracks the permit status for jobs that require Palm Beach County building department sign-off. Before joining Sightline in 2019, Darnell worked in logistics for a marine contractor, which explains his tolerance for the paperwork that makes most installers twitch. He knows which jobs need a wind-borne debris inspection, which neighborhoods in Boynton Beach fall under the High-Velocity Hurricane Zone versus the standard wind zone, and how to read a product approval sheet from Miami-Dade or Florida Building Product. His desk has a photo of his daughter’s first birthday at Oceanfront Park, and he will remember your dog’s name if it barks during the initial call.

Keisha M., Apprentice Installer

Keisha joined us in 2023 through a trade program partnership, and she’s working through her CWS and ECO Window Systems certifications under Elena’s direct supervision. She’s already handled her first full window replacement solo, a four-unit job in the Leisureville community where the original aluminum frames had corroded at the weep holes, a condition we see regularly in Boynton Beach’s salt-air environment. Keisha asks the questions that remind the rest of us what we’ve stopped noticing, like why we specify certain fasteners for stucco versus frame construction, or how to explain SHGC to a homeowner who just wants their cooling bill lower. She grew up in Boynton Beach, graduated from Boynton Beach Community High, and she’ll tell you that installing windows in the neighborhoods she knows means there’s no hiding from a bad job at the grocery store.

One Standard, Every Job

The Haven Standard isn’t a manual we hand out on day one. It’s the accumulation of what this crew has learned across 18,000 installations, and it’s enforced by the people on this page, not by a corporate office. Haven Clause 1, the written price before any work starts, means Marcus or Elena measures your opening and you keep that document. Haven Clause 2, arrive on schedule, means Darnell coordinates the crew and the materials so nobody’s standing in your driveway waiting on a delivery. Haven Clause 3, verified crews, means the license number you get in advance matches the person at your door. Haven Clause 4, evidence on every job, means Keisha is already trained to photograph every phase because she’ll need to explain her work to Sonia if a 365-Day Done Right Promise claim ever comes in. Haven Clause 5, no surprises, means the price on the measured survey is the price on the final invoice. We operate independently in Boynton Beach, but we hold ourselves to the same standard as every crew in the network, because the product doesn’t change when the zip code does, and neither does the documentation you receive.
