AfterFast, Reliable Impact Windows & Doors Across Delray Beach
Impact windows and doors in Delray Beach typically run $850-$2,400 per opening installed, depending on opening size, glass package, and whether your home sits in a historic district that requires board review. We work in Delray Beach weekly, from the 1940s CBS homes west of I-95 to the A1A condos east of the Intracoastal. Call (561) 940-2917 and a live person answers. No voicemail tree, no callback form. We’ll schedule a measurement visit, walk the openings with you, and put a written line-item quote on paper before we leave.
If you’re replacing windows or doors in Delray Beach, you already know the two pressures most Florida window companies won’t mention: windborne-debris code and, in designated historic districts like Del-Ida Park, Nassau Park, and the Marina District, a Historic Preservation Board that must approve style and profile before you pull a permit. This page explains how both work together, what they cost, and what we’ve found behind the walls of older Delray Beach homes when retrofitting impact units.
Why TruePane Windows & Doors Is Delray Beach’s Preferred Impact Windows & Doors Company
We are not the cheapest bid in Delray Beach. That’s not a claim you’ll see on our trucks or in our quotes. What we offer is a square deal: both manufacturer warranty layers registered in writing before our truck leaves your driveway, a Done Right Promise in plain English, and a crew that measures every opening twice. Homeowners who have been through one fogged-seal replacement or a door that binds in July understand why that matters. We hire local, train apprentices into journeymen, and answer the phone like a company that plans to be in Delray Beach in thirty years.
Delray Beach homeowners call us about three things more than anything else: failed insulated glass seals on oceanfront condos, lintel problems in older CBS homes, and doors that won’t latch after a season of salt air. Our technicians are background-checked, uniformed, and they work in your home the way they’d work in their own mother’s house. Dale Kessler, our founder and a second-generation glazier, keeps one rule on the whiteboard: if the pane is not true, the job is not done.
We’re an authorized installer for more than a dozen manufacturer lines, including PGT, CGI. We quote manufacturer lines side by side on paper, so you see exactly what you’re buying and what each warranty covers. The Keystone Standard means both warranty layers are registered in writing, durations stated, before the truck leaves the driveway. The Done Right Promise means if it is not done right, we make it right. No paperwork fights. No arguing.
Our Impact Windows & Doors Services in Delray Beach
Hurricane Impact Windows
Replacing original jalousie or awning windows in a 1940s-1960s Delray Beach CBS home is a different job than dropping new construction windows into framing. Those masonry openings were built for single-pane units that weigh a fraction of a modern impact-rated window. Before we order glass, we inspect the lintel above each opening, check for deteriorated mortar beds, and measure the actual rough opening, not the sash. That’s why a Delray Beach impact window replacement quote should include a line item for lintel inspection and any structural shimming the opening requires. If the lintel is undersized or cracked, we write that into the quote in writing before you sign anything.
Impact Sliding Glass Doors
On the A1A condo corridor and east of the Intracoastal, impact sliding glass doors take a beating from salt air that inland homes never see. Aluminum frames oxidize, rollers corrode, and stainless hardware pits. We replace tracks, rollers, and weatherstripping on existing impact sliders, and we install full replacement units when the seal has failed or the frame is beyond service. Many of those units are 8-foot or 10-foot sliders in condos built in the 1970s and 1980s. Those openings need custom sizing and often a lift-and-slide or tilt-and-turn replacement to meet current Miami-Dade or Palm Beach County product approvals. We measure, quote, and register warranties in writing.
Impact Entry & French Doors
Impact entry doors in Delray Beach carry a code burden that window replacements don’t: they must resist windborne debris, maintain a positive drainage plane at the threshold, and still operate smoothly after months of humidity. We see frozen deadbolts every November when snowbirds return to units sealed since May. The fix is rarely just the lock cylinder, it’s usually the strike plate alignment, the threshold adjustment, and the weatherstripping compression. Our team addresses all three in the same visit. Most Delray Beach impact door jobs are completed in a single visit. We do not leave second appointments hanging.
Impact Garage Doors
Garage doors are the largest opening in most Delray Beach homes, and a failed brace or track under wind load is a structural problem, not a cosmetic one. We install impact-rated garage doors with reinforced tracks and stronger hinges for homes in the High-Velocity Hurricane Zone. Retrofit bracing is an option for some existing doors, but many older Delray Beach garage doors, especially on 1960s ranch homes, have tracks too light to brace. We’ll tell you straight which option your door qualifies for, and we’ll give you the cost in writing before any work starts.

Trusted Brands We Service in Delray Beach
We install and service impact windows and doors from CWS, ES Windows, and ECO Window Systems, among more than a dozen authorized manufacturer lines. For Delray Beach condo associations that require specific product approvals, we’ll quote the approved line side by side with comparable alternatives so the board sees the cost difference in writing. We keep common replacement hardware in stock, rollers, latch sets, weatherstripping, and IGU seals, so service calls for fogged glass and binding doors don’t wait on a manufacturer shipment. If a unit needs a full replacement, we order it, track it, and schedule the install when it arrives. No chasing, no radio silence.
Common Impact Windows & Doors Problems We See in Delray Beach Homes
- Fogged insulated glass on A1A condos. Salt air eats through exterior seals on east-facing units faster than any interior climate chart predicts. Snowbirds who leave in May come back in November to find their ocean-view slider is cloudy. We re-glaze IGU seals and replace failed glass, usually in one visit.
- Undersized lintels in 1940s-1960s CBS homes. Those original jalousie and awning openings were framed for lightweight single-pane sashes. A modern impact window is heavier and carries different load paths. Without a lintel inspection, you risk a cracked header and a sagging opening. We check before we order glass.
- Corroded hardware on impact entry doors. Deadbolts that won’t throw, handles that stick, hinges that squeal. This is the classic May-through-October humidity season failure pattern in sealed units. The fix is usually mechanical, not a new door, and we’ll tell you if that’s the case.
- Failed weatherstripping on impact sliders. Delray Beach sun degrades rubber and vinyl seals faster than most manufacturers’ standard intervals. You’ll feel the draft first, then see the condensation. Replacing weatherstripping is a same-visit repair that restores the pressure rating and keeps your wind mitigation credit intact.

A single impact-rated window replacement in Delray Beach runs $850-$1,500 installed for a standard 36-by-60 opening with clear glass.

Those are real ranges, not teaser numbers. Your quote will be written, line-itemed, and explained on paper before you commit. If a lintel needs repair, we write that cost into the quote.

We’ll show up when we say, measure every opening twice, and leave you a clear number.
How the Delray Beach Historic Preservation Board Changes the Job
One thing we handle in Delray Beach that neighboring cities don’t require: dual compliance on window and door replacements in designated historic districts. In Del-Ida Park, Nassau Park, and the Marina District, the city’s Historic Preservation Board must approve replacement windows and doors for style, profile, and material compatibility before a permit is issued. At the same time, virtually all of Delray Beach sits inside Palm Beach County’s High-Velocity Hurricane Zone windborne debris region, so the replacement units must be impact-rated. That means the windows have to look period-appropriate and hold a missile-impact rating. Not every manufacturer has a product that does both. We know which lines qualify, which profiles the board has approved before, and how to present the application so it moves without resubmission. This is the dual-compliance roadmap that generic window replacement guides never cover.
On a 1950s CBS home in Del-Ida Park, our crew found the original jalousie windows had failing seals and corroded aluminum frames. The homeowner wanted modern impact protection without losing the mid-century profile the board protects. We specified custom impact-rated casement units with low-E glass and argon fill that matched the historic sightlines, installed new flashing tape and fusion-welded frames, and coordinated with the HPB to gain approval before pulling the permit. The homeowners avoided a code violation, passed final inspection, and now have a U-factor that meets current energy code. That’s the job done right.

FAQs - Impact Windows & Doors in Delray Beach
HPB review typically adds 4-8 weeks to a window replacement timeline in Del-Ida Park, Nassau Park, or the Marina District, depending on the board’s meeting calendar and whether your application is complete. The board meets on a set schedule and requires drawings, product specs, and often a color and profile mock-up. We prepare the package, submit it, and track it so the delay is predictable. Call (561) 940-2917 for an exact timeline for your address, estimates are free.
Look for stair-step cracks above window corners, sagging header lines, windows that stick or won’t open after years of stable operation, and visible rust or spalling on exposed concrete lintels. A lintel that’s losing load capacity will telegraph through the masonry. We inspect every opening before ordering glass, and we price any lintel work in writing, not as a surprise add-on after the first cut.
Oceanfront salt air attacks the exterior seal of the insulated glass unit over the summer months, while the unit is sealed and unoccupied. By November, the seal has failed and moisture has condensed between the panes. This is a known failure pattern in the A1A corridor, and it’s repairable by replacing the IGU, not the entire door in most cases. We re-glaze in a single visit.
No. The HPB requires compatibility with the home’s original architectural character, not an exact jalousie replica. Impact-rated casement or awning units with matching profile, muntin configuration, and color are typically approvable. We have successful HPB applications on file and can show you what has passed before in your district. Call (561) 940-2917 and we’ll walk the openings with you.
When walls are opened on a 1940s-1960s Delray Beach home, the permit process often triggers requirements for updated fastening, strapping, or header reinforcement under current HVHZ code. That’s common, and we write those allowances into the contract before work starts, not after. You’ll see every line item in the quote. If an unexpected condition is discovered mid-job, we price it and get your written approval before we touch it. No change orders, no surprises.
