AfterTrusted Window Installation for Delray Beach Homeowners
Window Installation in Delray Beach is the difference between a house that holds its cool in August and one that leaks conditioned air through gaps you can feel with your hand. TruePane Windows & Doors has set residential windows along the Delray Beach coastline and inland neighborhoods since 2008, and Dale Kessler still governs every job by the same rule he learned from his father: if the pane is not true, the job is not done. We install casement, awning, fixed, hung, sliding, and bay windows for homeowners who intend to stay in their house another twenty years. Call (561) 940-2917 and a live person answers, day or night.
What Our Window Installation Service Includes
Every window we set in Delray Beach starts with the same step: we measure the opening twice, on paper, before a single fastener goes in. Then we walk you through manufacturer lines side by side so you see exactly what you are buying. Here is how that applies to each window type.
Casement Windows
Casement windows hinge at the side and crank outward, which makes them the tightest-sealing operable window you can put in a coastal home. In Delray Beach, where east-facing elevations take salt air and wind-driven rain, a properly set casement keeps water on the outside where it belongs. We set the sash square in the frame and adjust the crank hardware so the seal compresses evenly across all four sides, because an out-of-true casement is the first window to whistle in a storm.
Awning Windows
Awning windows hinge at the top and open outward from the bottom, which lets you leave them cracked for ventilation during a light rain without water pooling on the sill. They work well in Delray Beach bathrooms and kitchens where wall space is tight and you need airflow without a window that projects into the room. We install them with the same attention to sill pitch and flashing that we give to impact-rated units, because an awning window that traps water at the frame is a rot problem waiting to happen.
Fixed & Picture Windows
Fixed and picture windows do not open, which means the entire job comes down to the seal and the glass package. We set these in Delray Beach living rooms and stairwells where the view is the point and nobody wants mullions interrupting it. We use factory-glazed units with the spacer and gas fill matched to the elevation, and we set them so the reveal is even from corner to corner, because that is what your eye catches first.
Single & Double Hung
Single and double hung windows are the traditional vertical sliders, and they are still the most common window in older Delray Beach homes. The difference between a hung window that operates easily for twenty years and one that binds by the second summer is the plumb of the frame and the balance of the sash weights or springs. We set the frame level and square before the sash goes in, and we test every window through a full open-close cycle before we call the job done.
Sliding Windows
Sliding windows move horizontally on a track, and in Delray Beach that track is where sand and salt accumulation cause most of the failures we see. We install sliders with the track pitched slightly to the exterior and the rollers adjusted so the panel glides without lifting, which keeps the track from grinding itself down. For homes within a mile of the beach, we recommend stainless or marine-grade hardware, because the standard stuff corrodes faster than most people expect.
Bay & Bow Windows
Bay and bow windows project outward from the wall and create a shelf of interior space, but they require structural support that a flat window does not. We install these in Delray Beach dining rooms and sitting areas where homeowners want more daylight and a place for plants or a reading seat. We build the seat and roof support to code, flash every joint, and set the glass units so the angles read clean from the curb, because a bay window that sags is a structural problem, not just a cosmetic one.

Brands We Service for Window Installation
TruePane is an authorized installer for more than a dozen manufacturer lines, which means we can quote you next to next to on the same sheet of paper, with the same labor number under each. In Delray Beach we do a lot of work with PGT and CGI impact lines, because those are engineered for the wind and water loads this coastline delivers, and we know their approval drawings and anchor schedules without having to look them up. We also set ES Windows and ECO Window Systems units for homeowners who want a high-end European profile without sacrificing the hurricane rating.
We have worked with CWS on custom assemblies where the homeowner wanted a specific sightline or a non-standard finish, and we register both warranty layers in writing before the truck leaves the driveway. Whether you have one of those brands or any other make, we can install it, flash it, and stand behind it.
Signs You Need Window Installation Right Now
- Condensation between the glass panes. If moisture is trapped inside the insulated glass unit, the seal has failed and the gas fill is gone. That window is no longer insulating anything, and the only fix is a new unit, not a repair.
- You can feel air moving around the frame with the window closed. Run your hand along the edges on a windy day. If you feel a draft, the weather stripping or the install itself is failing, and the window is leaking conditioned air every hour of the year.
- The window sticks, binds, or will not stay open. A sash that will not hold position is a balance or hardware problem, and on an older Delray Beach home it is often the first sign the frame has shifted out of square. Forcing it wears the tracks worse.
- Visible rot, soft wood, or flaking paint at the sill or jamb. Water is getting in somewhere, and on wood frames that means structural decay. By the time you see it on the surface, the section behind it needs real attention, not a coat of caulk.
- The window rattles when you close a door or when traffic passes. A properly installed window sits tight in its opening. Movement means the frame is no longer anchored as it should be, and vibration is working the fasteners loose over time.
Our Window Installation Process — Step by Step
- 1
Measure and document. We measure every opening twice and record the numbers on the quote sheet before we order anything. A window ordered off a single sloppy measurement is a window that arrives wrong and delays the job.
- 2
Side-by-side quote on paper. We show you the manufacturer lines you qualify for, with the same labor under each, so you are comparing glass packages and frame materials, not hidden markups. You see the numbers before you commit.
- 3
Removal and opening inspection. We pull the old window and inspect the rough opening for rot, termite damage, or shim failures that were hiding behind the trim. If we find something, we show you before we proceed, and the price does not change without a signed change order.
- 4
Set, level, and flash. We set the new unit plumb and square, shimming as needed, and flash the opening per manufacturer and code. Then we tool the exterior sealant and install interior trim if it is part of the scope.
- 5
Warranty registration and the Done Right check. Before we leave, we register both warranty layers in writing and walk the job with you. If anything is not right, we fix it then, and the Done Right Promise backs it in writing.
How Much Does Window Installation Cost in Delray Beach?
A standard double hung window installation in Delray Beach typically runs $650 to $1,200 per opening, including the window and labor, depending on frame material and glass package. A mid-grade casement or awning runs $700 to $1,400 per opening. Bay and bow windows start around $3,500 and go up with size and structural work, because the support and roofing under the projection are part of the job. Impact-rated glass, which many Delray Beach homeowners near the coast carry, adds 40 to 70 percent over non-impact on the same frame line.
What moves the number: the condition of the rough opening, whether rotted framing needs repair, the glass package and gas fill, and whether the home is within the wind-borne debris zone that triggers impact requirements. The way to avoid overpaying is to get the quote on paper with labor separated from material, and to confirm before you sign that both warranty layers will be registered in your name. Our estimates are free and line-itemed, and the price on the proposal is the price on the bill, no change orders unless you change the scope.

Frequently Asked Questions — Window Installation in Delray Beach
Window installation is the removal of an old window and the setting of a new unit into the existing opening, including leveling, shimming, flashing, sealing, and trim. In Delray Beach it also means meeting the wind and water requirements that come with building near the coast. The difference between a good install and a bad one is measured in drafts, leaks, and how long the window operates smoothly.
A single window replacement typically takes one to three hours once the old unit is out and the opening is prepped. A full home of ten to fifteen windows is usually a two to three day job, depending on what we find in the openings. Custom or structural work, like a bay or bow window with support modifications, extends the schedule and we will tell you that before we start. Call (561) 940-2917 and we can give you a realistic timeline for your specific house.
Most Delray Beach window installations land between $650 and $1,400 per opening for standard types, with impact glass and structural work pushing the high end or above. Bay and bow windows start around $3,500. The only way to know your number is a line-itemed quote on paper, which we provide free. Call (561) 940-2917 to schedule one.
