AfterWindows & Doors in Delray Beach, FL
Window installation in Delray Beach runs $650-$1,400 per opening for standard vinyl impact-rated units, with most east-side homes requiring custom sizing for original jalousie bays that don’t accept stock dimensions. The work differs here because Palm Beach County’s 160-175 mph design wind speed zone makes impact-rated glazing a legal baseline, not an upgrade, while historic districts add a second layer of aesthetic review. We coordinate scheduling from our Miami office and measure every opening on-site before writing the price; call (561) 421-3844 for a free measured survey.
Why Delray Beach Homes Are Different
Delray Beach’s housing stock splits into two distinct categories, and neither behaves like the tract homes west of Boynton Beach. East of Federal Highway, 1950s-1970s CBS ranch homes and pre-war frame beach cottages still carry original aluminum jalousie windows, single-pane sliders, and hollow-core exterior doors - none of which meet current Florida Building Code. The jalousie bays are the particular problem: narrow openings sized for louvered blades, not standard sash, which means out-of-area contractors who quote from standard price lists regularly discover non-standard dimensions on installation day.
West of I-95, 1990s-2000s HOA gated communities present a different obstacle. Association approval processes govern product color, profile, and style even on code-compliant replacements, and we’ve seen HOA architectural committees reject impact-rated units that passed county inspection but failed the community’s aesthetic guidelines. Add the direct Atlantic exposure along A1A, where salt-air corrosion destroys standard aluminum hardware in four to six years, and the product specification becomes as critical as the installation itself.
The historic districts - Old School Square and the Marina Historic District - impose a third constraint. Any replacement must pass Historic Preservation Board review for period-appropriate profiles and materials while simultaneously satisfying Palm Beach County’s impact-resistance mandates. This dual compliance, balancing preservation aesthetics with 160-170+ mph wind-load engineering, is a genuine local specialty that fundamentally differs from straightforward impact-window swaps in neighboring cities.
Our Main Delray Beach Services
Most calls from Delray Beach homeowners center on two needs: replacing original windows and doors that predate current code, or upgrading to impact-rated systems that satisfy both county wind-load requirements and HOA or historic-board review.
Window Replacement in Delray Beach
We replace original aluminum jalousies, single-pane sliders, and failed insulated glass units across Delray Beach’s east-side neighborhoods and barrier island homes. Every job begins with a measured survey that documents rough-opening dimensions, frame condition, and wall thickness - critical on pre-war frame cottages where wall sections vary. We specify products from PGT, CGI, and CWS by performance tier and price range, not by margin. Window Replacement in Delray Beach covers full-frame and insert methods, with written pricing before any work starts.
Impact Windows & Doors in Delray Beach
Impact-rated glazing is legally required for all new and replacement installations in Palm Beach County’s wind-borne debris region, not optional. We engineer solutions for the dual-compliance challenge: impact-rated products that also satisfy Historic Preservation Board review for period-appropriate sightlines and frame profiles. Our measured survey includes wind-load calculations by coastal proximity, and the written quote specifies the exact product, glass makeup, and fastening schedule. Impact Windows & Doors in Delray Beach details the full specification process.
Sliding & Patio Doors in Delray Beach
Original sliding glass doors in 1970s-1980s Delray Beach homes are typically single-pane aluminum with corroded rollers and failed weatherstripping, creating both code non-compliance and active water intrusion. We replace these with multi-panel impact-rated systems, including 3-panel and 4-panel configurations for wider rear-wall openings common in Lake Ida and barrier island homes. The measured survey documents sill condition, header load, and floor level - critical for proper drainage in salt-air environments. Sliding & Patio Doors in Delray Beach covers the full replacement scope.

AfterWindow Installation in Delray Beach
Window installation in Delray Beach means working with two incompatible building eras: east-side homes with original jalousie bays too narrow for standard sash, and western subdivisions with 1990s vinyl units now failing from UV degradation and seal collapse. Both require measured survey before product specification, because the rough-opening dimensions and wall construction determine whether a full-frame replacement or insert method is structurally appropriate. We install and replace windows across eight product categories, drawing from PGT, CGI, CWS, and other verified manufacturer lines specified by what the opening requires, not by what is in stock. Window Installation covers our full methodology.
Single & Double Hung Windows
Signs you need it
Original single-pane aluminum hung windows with failed balances, visible daylight around the sash, or condensation between panes on supposed “insulated” units that have lost their seal.
What it costs in Delray Beach
Standard vinyl impact-rated single or double hung windows run $650-$1,100 per opening installed; custom sizes for non-standard jalousie retrofits or historic-profile frames range $1,100-$1,800.
How we do it
We remove the existing unit, inspect and repair the rough opening for level and square, install the new hung window with impact-rated laminated glass and marine-grade hardware, then seal with backer rod and silicone to the manufacturer’s wind-load fastening schedule.
3-Panel Sliding (3-Lite Roller) Windows
Signs you need it
Original 2-panel sliders with corroded aluminum frames, stuck rollers, or visible gaps where the sash meets the interlock; homes with wide rear walls that need more ventilated area than standard widths provide.
What it costs in Delray Beach
3-panel impact-rated sliding windows range $1,200-$2,200 installed, with pricing driven by overall width, glass makeup (clear versus Low-E), and whether the existing header can support the increased span without reinforcement.
How we do it
We verify header capacity with a structural check, remove the existing frame, install the 3-lite roller system with tandem stainless-steel rollers rated for the sash weight, align all three panels for smooth operation, and seal per the approved wind-load detail.
What Window Installation Costs in Delray Beach
| Item | Typical range in Delray Beach |
|---|---|
| Single/Double Hung (standard vinyl impact-rated) | $650 - $1,100 |
| Single/Double Hung (custom size or historic profile) | $1,100 - $1,800 |
| 3-Panel Sliding Window (impact-rated) | $1,200 - $2,200 |
How long does window installation take in Delray Beach?
Most residential window installations complete in 1-3 days depending on opening count and wall construction; CBS stucco homes allow faster turnaround than pre-war frame cottages requiring structural reinforcement. Call (561) 421-3844 to schedule your measured survey - estimates are free.
Do you handle HOA approval for window replacement in Delray Beach?
We provide the product data sheets, finish samples, and elevation drawings most Delray Beach HOAs require for architectural review, and we coordinate with your association’s timeline so installation begins only after formal approval. Call (561) 421-3844 to schedule your free estimate.
Door Installation in Delray Beach
Door installation in Delray Beach confronts the same dual-era problem as windows: pre-war beach cottages with 28-inch hollow-core slab doors that can’t accept impact-rated hardware, and 1990s-2000s homes with fiberglass entry units now delaminating from salt-air exposure. Both situations require product specification that satisfies Florida Building Code wind-load requirements while fitting existing rough openings that were never framed for modern impact-rated jambs. We install and replace doors across all categories, with every engagement beginning with a measured survey the customer keeps and a written quote that cannot differ from that document. Door Installation covers our full scope.
Hurricane-Proof Front & Entry Doors
Signs you need it
Existing entry door with visible frame rot, failed weatherstripping, or non-impact glass sidelights; any front door in the wind-borne debris region without a current Miami-Dade or Florida Product Approval number.
What it costs in Delray Beach
Impact-rated fiberglass or steel entry door systems with laminated glass sidelights range $2,200-$4,500 installed; custom sizes or historic-profile units for Old School Square district homes run $4,500-$7,200.
How we do it
We remove the existing unit including jamb and threshold, inspect the rough opening for level and structural integrity, install the impact-rated pre-hung door with proper shimming and fastening to the wind-load schedule, then seal with backer rod and approved sealant.
French & Double Doors
Signs you need it
Original French doors with single-pane glass, failed astragal, or corroged hinges; rear-wall units showing water intrusion at the sill or visible daylight around the inactive panel.
What it costs in Delray Beach
Impact-rated French door systems range $3,500-$6,500 depending on width, panel configuration (in-swing versus out-swing), and whether the existing header requires reinforcement for the increased wind load.
How we do it
We verify header capacity, remove the existing frame, install the impact-rated French door with multi-point locking hardware and laminated glass, adjust both panels for even reveal and proper astragal engagement, then seal and flash per the approved detail.
What Door Installation Costs in Delray Beach
| Item | Typical range in Delray Beach |
|---|---|
| Impact-Rated Entry Door (standard size, fiberglass/steel) | $2,200 - $4,500 |
| Impact-Rated Entry Door (custom/historic profile) | $4,500 - $7,200 |
| Impact-Rated French Door System | $3,500 - $6,500 |
Can you match my historic door profile in Delray Beach?
We specify products from manufacturers including Therma-Tru and ViewLux that offer period-appropriate panel profiles and glazing patterns, and we submit the product data to your Historic Preservation Board for pre-approval before ordering. Call (561) 421-3844 for a free measured survey.
Will the price change once door installation starts?
No - Haven Clause 1 means the written quote from our measured survey is the final price; if we encounter concealed damage, we document it, stop work, and provide a written change order for your approval before continuing. Call (561) 421-3844 to schedule your free estimate.
Energy-Efficient Windows in Delray Beach
Energy-efficient windows in Delray Beach address a specific local failure mode: original aluminum-frame units with conductive frames and single-pane glass that bleed conditioned air while admitting solar heat gain that strains AC systems running eight months annually. The east-side CBS homes built 1955-1975 are particularly affected, with wall construction that allows retrofit but requires careful specification of frame depth and nailing fin to avoid stucco blowout. We specify energy-efficient products by performance tier - U-factor, SHGC, and VT ratings documented on the written quote - not by generic “efficient” labeling. Energy-Efficient Windows details our specification methodology.
Low-E & Argon Gas Glass
Signs you need it
Windows that feel hot to the touch on the interior surface, faded flooring or upholstery near south- and west-facing openings, or AC systems that cycle continuously during afternoon hours.
What it costs in Delray Beach
Low-E coated, argon-filled impact-rated insulated glass units add $80-$150 per opening over clear laminated impact glass; full window replacement with Low-E/argon specification runs $750-$1,350 per opening.
How we do it
We specify the appropriate Low-E coating by orientation - soft-coat for north/east, hard-coat or solar-control for south/west - fill the insulated unit with argon to manufacturer spec, and verify the seal with a gas-fill certificate included in your documentation.
ENERGY STAR Replacement Windows
Signs you need it
Current windows installed before 2010, or any replacement project where the homeowner wants documented performance data for potential utility rebate programs or future resale disclosure.
What it costs in Delray Beach
ENERGY STAR certified vinyl impact-rated windows range $850-$1,450 per opening installed, with pricing varying by frame construction (multi-chamber versus standard), glass package, and installation method.
How we do it
We verify the product’s ENERGY STAR certification for the South-Central climate zone, confirm the NFRC label data matches our written specification, install per manufacturer’s instructions for warranty compliance, and provide the certification documentation for your records.
What Energy-Efficient Windows Costs in Delray Beach
| Item | Typical range in Delray Beach |
|---|---|
| Low-E/Argon Upgrade (add to impact-rated unit) | $80 - $150 per opening |
| Full Replacement with Low-E/Argon Impact Window | $750 - $1,350 |
| ENERGY STAR Certified Impact Window (installed) | $850 - $1,450 |
Do energy-efficient windows really lower AC bills in Delray Beach?
Properly specified Low-E windows with low SHGC can reduce solar heat gain by 40-60% on west-facing openings, which translates to measurable runtime reduction for your AC system during peak afternoon load. Call (561) 421-3844 for a free measured survey and written performance estimate.
What’s the difference between Low-E and tinted glass for Delray Beach homes?
Low-E coatings reject infrared heat while maintaining visible light transmission; tinted glass absorbs solar energy and can darken interiors, which many homeowners find undesirable for Delray Beach’s already bright coastal environment. Call (561) 421-3844 to schedule your free estimate.
Impact Garage Doors in Delray Beach
Impact garage doors in Delray Beach are frequently the weakest point in a home’s wind-borne debris protection: original 1980s-1990s non-rated sectional doors with no reinforcement, or early “hurricane” doors that predate current Florida Building Code testing requirements. The large surface area of a double-wide garage door creates extreme wind-load demand, and failure here pressurizes the entire structure. We specify and install impact-rated garage doors tested to the current wind-load standards for your specific coastal proximity, with every job documented by photo record and covered by the 365-Day Done Right Promise. Impact Garage Doors covers our full product range.
Hurricane-Rated Garage Doors
Signs you need it
Garage door without a current Florida Product Approval or Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance label; visible panel bowing, failed springs, or any door installed before 2002 when the current testing standard took effect.
What it costs in Delray Beach
Wind-rated steel sectional garage doors range $1,800-$3,500 for single-car openings and $2,800-$5,200 for double-car, with pricing driven by wind-load rating, insulation value, and window lite configuration.
How we do it
We verify the required wind-load rating by your address’s coastal proximity, remove the existing door and track, install the new impact-rated sectional door with reinforced track and heavy-duty hardware, balance and test the spring system, and provide the product approval documentation.
Wind-Load Code Compliance
Signs you need it
Permit application for window and door replacement that triggers a garage door upgrade requirement; insurance inspection noting non-compliant garage door; any home in A1A corridor flood zones where garage doors are primary envelope openings.
What it costs in Delray Beach
Code compliance upgrades including structural reinforcement of the garage door opening, header modification, and installation of a rated door system range $3,500-$7,500 depending on opening width and existing structural condition.
How we do it
We inspect the garage door opening structure, engineer any required header or jamb reinforcement, install the wind-load-rated door and track system with proper fastening to the reinforced frame, and coordinate inspection with Palm Beach County building officials.
What Impact Garage Doors Costs in Delray Beach
| Item | Typical range in Delray Beach |
|---|---|
| Hurricane-Rated Garage Door (single-car) | $1,800 - $3,500 |
| Hurricane-Rated Garage Door (double-car) | $2,800 - $5,200 |
| Wind-Load Code Compliance Upgrade (structural + door) | $3,500 - $7,500 |
Do I need a permit to replace my garage door in Delray Beach?
Yes - garage door replacement in Palm Beach County requires a building permit because the door is part of the structure’s wind-borne debris protection system; we pull the permit, schedule inspection, and provide the approved documentation. Call (561) 421-3844 for a free estimate.
Can I keep my garage door opener with a new impact-rated door?
Most standard openers can be reused if they’re in good condition and properly sized for the new door’s weight, though we inspect the mounting, safety systems, and force settings during installation to confirm compliance. Call (561) 421-3844 to schedule your free estimate.
Custom & Geometric Windows in Delray Beach
Custom and geometric windows in Delray Beach solve problems that stock products cannot: the arched transoms above original 1920s front doors in the Marina Historic District, the triangular gable windows in mid-century modern homes near Lake Ida, and the oversized openings in contemporary barrier island rebuilds that exceed standard manufacturer size limits. These installations require measured survey at a higher level of detail - radius, chord, springline, and sightline dimensions documented to 1/16 inch - because the product is fabricated to the measurement, not adjusted in the field. Custom & Geometric Windows covers our full custom capabilities.
Arched & Curved Windows
Signs you need it
Existing arched windows with failed seals, rotted wood frames, or single-pane glass; new construction or renovation requiring radius-top units that match historic or architectural specifications.
What it costs in Delray Beach
Custom arched impact-rated windows range $2,200-$4,800 installed, with pricing driven by radius complexity, whether the unit is a true radius or a springline arch, and the structural modification required for the rough opening.
How we do it
We template the existing opening with a full-scale pattern, document radius, chord, and rise measurements, fabricate the custom vinyl or aluminum-clad unit with impact-rated laminated glass to the template, and install with custom flashing to maintain the water management detail.
Oversized Openings
Signs you need it
Window openings exceeding standard manufacturer maximums - typically 60 inches in one dimension or 100 united inches combined - requiring either custom fabrication or structural modification to accept multiple units.
What it costs in Delray Beach
Oversized custom impact-rated windows range $3,500-$8,500 depending on dimensions, glass makeup, frame material, and whether the opening requires header reinforcement or structural engineering.
How we do it
We verify structural capacity with a header analysis, engineer the appropriate support if needed, specify the custom unit or mulled combination from PGT or CGI’s custom programs, and install with crane assistance if required for large fixed picture units.
What Custom & Geometric Windows Costs in Delray Beach
| Item | Typical range in Delray Beach |
|---|---|
| Arched/Curved Impact Window (custom fabricated) | $2,200 - $4,800 |
| Oversized Custom Impact Window | $3,500 - $8,500 |
| Geometric Shape (triangle, trapezoid, octagon) | $1,800 - $4,200 |
How long does custom window fabrication take for Delray Beach homes?
Custom geometric and oversized units typically require 8-14 weeks from measured survey to delivery, depending on manufacturer backlog and complexity; we schedule installation immediately upon delivery to minimize site exposure. Call (561) 421-3844 to begin your measured survey.
Can custom windows still be impact-rated for Delray Beach code?
Yes - PGT, CGI, and CWS all maintain custom product lines with full Florida Product Approval and Miami-Dade NOA documentation; the impact rating is engineered into the custom fabrication, not sacrificed for shape. Call (561) 421-3844 for a free estimate.
