Our Window Replacement - Delray Beach guide shows that jobs typically run $650-$1,450 per window installed, with full-frame jobs on older concrete-block homes and high-end impact glass pushing toward $1,800 or more. Most standard replacements are finished in one day once the windows are on site, and the single biggest variable is whether your existing frames are sound enough for an insert or need to be cut out and rebuilt. TruePane Windows & Doors has handled replacements across Delray Beach since 2008 of combined trade heritage, and the office line, (561) 940-2917, is answered by a live person at any hour.
Trusted Window Replacement for Delray Beach Homeowners
If you live east of I-95 in Delray Beach, you know what salt air does to aluminum frames and wood sashes. We see it every week: windows that fog between the panes, sashes that stick in the tracks after a hard rain, frames with enough corrosion that you can see daylight through the corner joints. That is not a maintenance problem. That is a replacement problem. Dale Kessler founded TruePane Windows & Doors on a simple rule that still hangs in the shop: if the pane is not true, the job is not done. His crews have been setting windows in Delray Beach, Gulf Stream, and the surrounding coastal towns - including Boca Raton Window Replacement work - long enough to know which manufacturer lines hold up a block from the ocean and which ones will not make it five years. When the heat index climbs and a bedroom window will not close, you do not want a call center. You want a company that answers the phone and sends someone who measures twice. That is what we do.
Every replacement we install carries the Done Right Promise and The Keystone Standard: both manufacturer warranty layers registered in writing, with durations stated, before the truck leaves your driveway. No paperwork fights later, no arguing about who covers what. We are not the cheapest bid in Delray Beach, and we will not pretend to be. We are the last call you need to make on a window.
What Our Window Replacement Service Includes
Full Frame Replacement
Full frame replacement means the entire window comes out: sash, frame, trim, and all. You need this when the existing frame is rotted, twisted, or eaten through by salt corrosion around the edges, which is common on older Delray Beach homes built before modern flashing standards. TruePane tears out to the rough opening, checks the studs and header for hidden rot, squares the opening, and sets a complete new unit with new flashing and sealing. The result is a window that is actually true in the opening, not a new sash wedged into a bad frame.
Insert Window Replacement
An insert, sometimes called a pocket replacement, leaves your existing frame in place and drops a new window unit inside it. This works when the frame is still square and solid but the glass, seals, or moving sashes are shot. Inserts cost less than full frame jobs and take less time, but they only make sense if the frame has real years left in it. We measure the opening twice and tell you straight if an insert is a good long-term choice for your house or if you would be paying money to wrap a failing frame.
Storm Window Replacement
Storm windows are the second line of defense on older Delray Beach homes that still have original wood windows and are not ready to give them up. When the exterior storm units get bent, fogged, or lost to hurricanes, the interior windows lose their protection from wind and driven rain. TruePane replaces storm units in standard and custom sizes, matching the existing sightlines so the house keeps its character. We also rebuild the tracks and replace worn hardware while the unit is out, so the next storm does not rattle your windows apart.
Energy-Efficient Upgrade
An energy-efficient upgrade replaces old single-pane or failed double-pane glass with low-E coated, argon-filled units rated for South Florida’s climate zone. This is the replacement most Delray Beach homeowners ask for after their second straight summer of $300-plus electric bills from the air conditioner fighting heat gain. We quote manufacturer lines side by side on paper, with U-factor and SHGC ratings printed where you can read them, so you are buying a specific performance number and not just a label. The point is lower cooling load and a house that stays comfortable near the glass.
Historic Window Restoration
Historic window restoration is for the older Delray Beach and Gulf Stream homes where original cypress or Dade County pine windows are part of the house’s value and its look. Flattening them out for vinyl inserts is a mistake, and a lot of contractors push that because it is faster. TruePane restores old sashes: repairs rotted stiles and rails, re-glazes with traditional putty, re-ropes counterweights, and installs interior or exterior storm units to bring the assembly up to modern comfort without erasing the original. If a sash is beyond saving, we reproduce it in matching wood and joinery so no one can tell which window is new.

Brands We Service for Window Replacement
We work on CWS units regularly in Delray Beach, especially the impact-rated lines installed after the 2004-2005 hurricane seasons. CWS hardware and balances have specific wear patterns, and we keep the common replacement parts on the truck because waiting three weeks for a balance cartridge is not acceptable in July. We also service ES Windows, which shows up more often in Gulf Stream and coastal spec homes. ES frames are precision-made, and when they fail it is usually an install issue around the flashing or a seal problem, not the extrusion itself. We know what to look for with both, and we repair or replace accordingly.
Beyond those, we are an authorized installer for more than a dozen manufacturer lines, including, PGT, CGI, and ES Windows. If you have CWS, ECO Window Systems, or any other make in your home, we can quote a replacement and install it under the same Done Right Promise. Bring us the manufacturer sticker from the frame if you still have it. That tells us the glass package and the production run, which makes the quote more accurate.
Signs You Need Window Replacement Right Now
- Condensation or fog trapped between the glass panes. This means the seal has failed and the insulating gas has escaped. The window is no longer doing its job, and no cleaning product will fix it. You are looking at sealed unit replacement, not a surface wipe.
- Sashes that bind, stick, or will not stay open. In Delray Beach’s humidity, wood swells and aluminum corrodes, which throws the sash out of square in its track. A sash that slams shut on its own is a safety hazard, especially for hands and fingers. It also tells you the frame has moved or the hardware is failing.
- You can feel heat radiating through the glass in the afternoon. Single-pane and failed double-pane windows let the western sun turn a room into an oven by 4 p.m. If you can hold your hand six inches from the glass in August and feel the heat coming off it, the window has stopped insulating. Replacement with low-E glass drops that heat transfer measurably.
- Visible rot, corrosion, or daylight through the frame corners. This is the clearest sign that an insert will not solve the problem. A rotting wood frame or a corroded aluminum frame has structural damage, and new glass cannot fix that. The opening needs to be rebuilt, and the longer it waits, the more wall and insulation get involved.
- Windows that rattle in the wind or leak during heavy rain. Loose sashes and failed weatherstripping let wind and water in around the frame. In a Delray Beach summer storm, that leak soaks drywall, trim, and flooring. If you hear the glass clatter when a truck goes by, the window is not seated properly in its opening.
Our Window Replacement Process - Step by Step
- 1
Measure and quote on paper. A technician comes to your home, measures every opening twice, and checks the square of each frame before quoting. We write the manufacturer options side by side on paper, with the price for each line, so you can see exactly what you are buying and what each upgrade costs. No one leaves our visit without a written, line-item quote.
- 2
Order the units and register warranties. Once you approve the quote, we order from the manufacturer and get a production timeline. When the units arrive we inspect each one for damage before it goes on the truck. Before installation, we register both warranty layers under The Keystone Standard: manufacturer coverage recorded in writing, durations stated, and your copy handed to you.
- 3
Prep the openings. On install day we protect the floor and furniture, then remove the existing windows carefully enough that drywall and trim stay intact. If we find hidden rot, termite damage, or a header that has shifted, we stop and show you before doing anything else. No surprise line items. You approve the fix before we proceed.
- 4
Set and seal the new windows. Every unit goes in level, plumb, and square in the rough opening. We flash and seal the exterior perimeter using methods rated for South Florida’s wind-driven rain, not a one-size-fits-all caulk line. The windows are shimmed, anchored, and adjusted until each sash opens and closes with even pressure.
- 5
Walkthrough and cleanup. We remove every scrap of old material, sweep the work area, and walk you through the operation of each new window. If anything is not right, you tell us then and we fix it before the truck leaves. The Done Right Promise starts the day the job is finished, and if the pane is not true, the job is not done.
How Much Does Window Replacement Cost in Delray Beach?
A standard insert window replacement in Delray Beach runs $650-$950 per window installed, depending on the glass package and frame material, as detailed in our Window Replacement cost guide. A full-frame replacement on a concrete-block home brings more labor and runs $1,000-$1,500 per opening. Impact-rated replacements with heavy laminated glass and reinforced frames start around $1,400 and can top $1,800 per window for large openings or custom sizes from higher-end lines like ES Windows. Historical restoration work is priced by the condition of the existing sash: a simple re-glaze and track rebuild may run $400-$700 per window, while a full sash reproduction with matching millwork can hit $1,200 or more.
What moves the price: glass package, frame material, impact rating, accessibility on a second or third story, and whether the existing frame is square and solid or needs to be rebuilt. The way to avoid overpaying is to get the line-item quote and compare the actual materials listed, not the bottom line. Two quotes can be $3,000 apart and both be “vinyl.” We hand you manufacturer names, model lines, U-factor, SHGC, and warranty terms in writing. The free estimate covers all of that, on paper, with no obligation. Call (561) 940-2917 to schedule yours.

Frequently Asked Questions - Window Replacement in Delray Beach
Window replacement means removing an existing window and installing a new unit in its place, either by dropping an insert into a sound frame or by tearing out the entire frame and resetting everything from the rough opening. Most Delray Beach homes eventually need this because salt air, humidity, and hurricane cycles wear out seals, corrode frames, and wreck hardware. TruePane replaces both insert and full-frame windows, plus restores historic wood sashes when the frame is worth saving.
A typical single window replacement in an existing opening takes one visit, usually two to four hours on site. A whole-house project of ten to fifteen windows is usually done in one to three working days, depending on condition and whether full-frame tear-outs are required. Historic restoration work runs longer because every sash is handled individually. We give you a written schedule when you approve the quote, and we hold to it.
Most Delray Beach replacements run $650-$1,500 per window installed, with impact glass and full-frame work at the upper end and simple inserts at the lower end. The final number depends on glass package, frame material, size, and structural condition of the existing opening. Call (561) 940-2917 and we will measure, quote the manufacturer lines side by side, and hand you the written estimate before you agree to anything.
Yes. We service CWS impact lines and ES Windows residential units regularly across Delray Beach and the coastal towns. We stock common CWS balance and hardware parts, and we know the ES frame and seal failure patterns from years of installs and repairs. Whether you have CWS, ES Windows, ECO Window Systems, or another make entirely, we can quote your replacement and handle the install under our standard warranty terms.
Yes, and a live person really does answer the phone 24 hours a day, 7 days a week at (561) 940-2917. If a window is broken, leaking, or will not seal, call and you will speak to a person, not a voicemail tree. We will get someone to your home, assess the opening, and take the steps needed to secure it and schedule the replacement. We are a local Delray Beach company, and we are here when the storm passes through.
Every replacement is covered by the Done Right Promise and The Keystone Standard. That means both manufacturer warranty layers are registered in writing, with durations stated, and handed to you before our crew leaves your driveway. If something is not done right, we make it right. No paperwork fights, no fine print that covers neither side. The work and the promise are in writing, and we stand behind it.
Clear a path to each window being replaced, move fragile items off nearby shelves, and take down anything hanging on the walls around the work area. Our crew protects the floor and furniture, but a clear working space makes the job faster and safer. If you have plants or landscaping directly outside a window, trim them back before we arrive so the crew can access the opening without trampling your planting bed. We handle the rest, including cleanup.
