AfterFast, Reliable Window Installation Across Delray Beach
Window installation in Delray Beach runs anywhere from $800 to $1,500 per impact-rated window installed, with whole-home packages typically landing between $8,000 and $25,000 depending on opening count and wind zone. If you’re in a western Delray Beach 55-plus community like Kings Point, the HOA board usually holds the approval pen before a single pane gets ordered. TruePane Windows & Doors has spent years in South Florida working both sides of that equation: the code requirements on A1A and the architectural review boards west of I-95. Call (888) 635-0804 for a free in-home measure and a written quote that spells out every line item.
Why TruePane Windows & Doors Is Delray Beach’s Preferred Window Installation Company
We’re not a franchise that opened a Delray Beach outpost last spring. Dale Kessler founded TruePane in 2008 as a second-generation glazier, and the crew he built treats a window opening the way a cabinetmaker treats a drawer face: measured twice, set true, and never rushed. Homeowners in Delray Beach call us because our Window Installation team knows what the salt air on A1A does to aluminum frames, and we know what a Kings Point architectural review board will and will not approve. We’ve sat across the table from those boards. We submit the submittal packets, we pull the permits, and we schedule the work so crews aren’t standing around waiting on a committee to sign off.
Every job carries the Done Right Promise. Both manufacturer warranty layers get registered in writing before the truck leaves your driveway, durations stated, no fine print games. A live person answers our phone 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Not a phone tree. Not a callback request. If you’re in 33446, 33447, 33483, or 33484 and you want to know what a window job should cost, call (888) 635-0804 and you’ll get a background-checked, uniformed technician at your door with a tape measure and a paper quote.
Our Window Installation Services in Delray Beach
Most Delray Beach homes fall into two buckets: the concrete-block ranches and condos east of Federal Highway, and the CBS villas and single-family homes in the western planned communities. Each bucket wants a different window. Here’s what we install most often in this city.
Single & Double Hung Windows
Single and double hung windows are the workhorse of Delray Beach’s western communities. In Kings Point and the surrounding 33446 and 33447 neighborhoods, original double hung aluminum frames from the 1980s are being replaced with impact-rated vinyl or aluminum units that meet current Florida Building Code wind-borne debris standards. A double hung impact window in Delray Beach typically runs $900 to $1,800 installed, depending on opening size and finish. These windows suit the low-profile look most HOA boards in 55-plus communities prefer, and they’re easy to operate for residents who don’t want to fight a crank.
Casement Windows
Casement windows give you a clean sightline and a tight seal, which matters when the Atlantic wind gusts in off the ocean. In the 33483 corridor, we install casements with corrosion-resistant hardware because standard aluminum components start pitting within a few years of salt exposure. A casement window from a manufacturer like PGT, installed to Miami-Dade or Florida Product Approval ratings, is a common choice for the smaller openings on older barrier-island condos. Expect to pay $1,000 to $1,800 per casement in Delray Beach, with larger custom sizes running higher.
3-Panel Sliding (3-Lite Roller) Windows
Three-panel sliders open up a wall of glass, and they’re all over Delray Beach’s 1970s and 1980s condo stock. The challenge in these buildings is that the original roller tracks are worn and the frames have settled, which means a straight swap rarely works. We reframe the opening to square, install the new 3-lite roller with new track, and set it so the panels glide without binding. For a standard 3-panel slider in Delray Beach, budget $1,500 to $3,500 installed, depending on width and whether structural header work is required.
Horizontal Roller Windows
Horizontal roller windows are the standard in many older west Delray condos where the original jalousie windows have long since been removed or boarded over. These are practical, low-profile units that many HOA boards in the 55-plus communities are willing to approve because they read as neutral and match the original architecture. Installed with impact glazing, a horizontal roller window in Delray Beach runs $800 to $1,500 per unit. We most often order these from PGT or CGI, depending on what the board has specified in its community-wide spec.

Trusted Brands We Service in Delray Beach
We’re an authorized installer for more than a dozen manufacturer lines, and for Delray Beach work we most often quote PGT, CGI, and Therma-Tru side by side on paper so you can see the price difference and the rating difference in plain writing. If you’re in an HOA that’s already spec’d a specific line, we work within that spec. We stock common replacement hardware for these brands locally, which means a sash replacement or hardware swap on an existing install doesn’t take weeks. What we don’t do is push a single brand because it’s easier for us. The house, the wind zone, and the board approval drive the recommendation.
Common Window Installation Problems We See in Delray Beach Homes
- Jalousie windows past their useful life. Western Delray’s 1970s and 1980s communities are full of original single-pane jalousie windows that leak air, rattle in wind, and offer zero impact protection. Replacing them is the single most common job we quote in 33446 and 33447.
- Salt-corroded aluminum frames on A1A. In 33483, the Atlantic salt spray cuts the lifespan of a standard aluminum frame to roughly half what the same window would last inland in Palm Beach County. We specify corrosion-resistant finishes and hardware for every oceanfront install.
- HOA submittal packets that stall. If the architectural review board doesn’t have the right material samples, finish codes, and design-pressure documentation, the project sits. We prepare and file that packet ourselves so the board has what it needs on the first pass.
- Wrong permit type on community-wide jobs. Filing homeowner-level permits for a Kings Point replacement instead of a single community-wide Palm Beach County permit set is a scheduling disaster. We’ve corrected the paperwork on jobs like that, and we know who to call in the county office to get it right the first time.
Pricing for Window Installation in Delray Beach, FL
Most Delray Beach window installations fall into these ranges: a standard impact single-hung runs $900 to $1,800 installed. A casement in an oceanfront condo runs $1,000 to $1,800. A 3-panel slider runs $1,500 to $3,500. Large or custom openings, like a picture window or a bay assembly, run $2,500 to $5,000. Whole-home packages in the western communities usually land between $8,000 and $25,000, depending on opening count and whether the HOA has negotiated a community-wide rate. What moves the price: wind zone and design pressure requirements, floor height, frame material, and whether the opening needs structural reframing. The estimate we give you is written, itemized, and fixed. No change orders hiding in a drawer. Call (888) 635-0804 and we’ll measure every opening and hand you the numbers on paper.
What Window Installation Costs in Delray Beach
Let’s put real numbers on the table. Impact windows in Delray Beach generally run $800 to $1,500 per window installed. Impact single-hung units run $900 to $1,800. Large or custom openings run $2,500 to $5,000. Whole-home packages run $8,000 to $25,000 and up depending on the number of openings, the wind zone, and the floor height. Delray Beach’s location in Palm Beach County’s coastal wind-borne debris region means anything within roughly one mile of the Atlantic must meet impact-rating requirements under the Florida Building Code. That’s not optional, and it’s not a place to trim cost. We provide a free in-home measure and a written quote with every window priced out line by line. You’ll see exactly what each opening costs, what the manufacturer charges, and what the install labor runs. No vague allowances.
Florida Pays You Back
Florida offers real incentives for upgrading to impact-rated windows and doors, and we help you stack what you actually qualify for. The My Safe Florida Home program offers matching grants up to $10,000 for qualifying wind-mitigation upgrades, and impact windows count. Florida also exempts impact-resistant windows and doors from sales tax. On the federal side, the 25C energy credit covers 30% of product cost, up to $600 per year on qualifying energy-efficient units. Separately, most Delray Beach homeowners who complete a wind-mitigation inspection ($75 to $150) see a meaningful reduction on the windstorm portion of their insurance premium, often averaging around 25%. We don’t guarantee grant amounts or premium credits. Those numbers come from the state and your carrier. What we do is make sure your installation meets the documentation standard those programs require, including the Miami-Dade NOA or Florida Product Approval numbers for every unit, the design pressures matched to each opening, and the HVHZ compliance where your wind zone calls for it. We never spec a rating above +/-100 for an opening that doesn’t need it, and we never undersell one that does.
A Comparison Worth Making: Impact Windows vs. Hurricane Shutters
Both keep the envelope sealed in a storm, but impact windows do it without you ever hauling a panel out of the garage or standing on a ladder in June heat. Shutters have to be deployed before the storm, they have to be stored somewhere the rest of the year, and if you’re in a Delray Beach condo, the association may not even allow them on certain elevations for aesthetic reasons. Impact windows are permanent protection. You do nothing when the warning goes up. The tradeoff is upfront cost: shutters are cheaper per opening. But an impact window also cuts exterior noise, improves energy performance year round, and doesn’t turn your house into a dark box at the start of every named storm. In Delray Beach, where many coastal condos and western HOA communities are standardizing on impact-rated products anyway, we most often see impact windows win the long-term math.
HOA Architectural Review in Delray Beach: The Real Approval Gate
In western Delray Beach, HOA architectural review boards at communities like Kings Point often negotiate a single bulk window contract for hundreds of units under one Palm Beach County permit set. That means the board, not the individual homeowner, is the real approval gatekeeper. They decide which window styles, colors, materials, and design-pressure ratings are acceptable community-wide. If your submittal doesn’t match their spec on the first pass, you wait another review cycle. If you pulled a homeowner-level permit instead of the community-wide permit set, the schedule collapses. We treat the board as the decision-maker from the first meeting. Our crews work within their review calendar, not against it. We prepare the submittal packet with material samples, finish codes, and product approval numbers. We file the bulk permit. Then we stage the work so every opening on a given street or building gets done in one pass, not one unit at a time over six months.
Our crew recently replaced original single-pane jalousie windows in a Kings Point (33446) villa with PGT impact-rated casement and double-hung units after the HOA board approved a community-wide spec. We coordinated submittal packets for the board’s review cycle, then pulled the bulk permit so all sash and frame replacements on that street were staged and finished in one pass. No half-done openings waiting on committee sign-off. That’s how it’s supposed to work, and it’s how we’ve learned to schedule around Delray Beach’s architectural review reality.

FAQs - Window Installation in Delray Beach
Yes. In Kings Point and most western Delray Beach 55-plus communities, the architectural review board must approve the window style, color, material, and often the specific manufacturer line before any installation begins. The board typically sets a community-wide spec, and your submittal has to match it. We prepare and file the packet for you. Call (888) 635-0804 and we’ll tell you exactly what your board requires and how long their review cycle typically runs.
In most western Delray Beach communities, architectural review adds two to six weeks to the project timeline, depending on how often the board meets and whether the submittal is complete on the first pass. A clean, complete packet gets approved faster. A packet missing finish codes or design-pressure documentation gets bounced to the next cycle. We control what we can control: we file complete submittals, we track the review calendar, and we schedule the install to start as soon as the approval lands.
Any opening within approximately one mile of the Atlantic in Delray Beach must be protected by impact-rated windows or approved shutters under the Florida Building Code’s wind-borne debris provisions. The exact design pressure you need depends on your building height, the opening size, and your exact wind zone. We match every opening to its Miami-Dade NOA or Florida Product Approval number and never specify a rating above or below what the opening actually requires. For A1A condos, we also specify corrosion-resistant frames and hardware because the salt spray cuts product lifespan dramatically.
A single community-wide Palm Beach County permit set is standard practice for bulk window replacement in Delray Beach’s western HOA communities. Filing homeowner-level permits for each unit stalls the schedule and often creates inspection conflicts. We file the bulk permit that matches the board-approved community spec, which keeps the staging, the inspections, and the close-out paperwork under one umbrella. It’s the only way a multi-building project finishes on the schedule the board committed to.
The Atlantic salt spray on Delray Beach’s oceanfront corridor is relentless. Salt accelerates pitting and galvanic corrosion on standard aluminum frames and degrades insulating glass unit seals faster than inland conditions. A window that lasts 20 years in Boynton Beach may show serious frame corrosion and fogged glass in half that time in 33483. We specify corrosion-resistant finishes, marine-grade hardware, and manufacturer lines with proven coastal performance for every A1A installation. It costs a little more up front and saves a full replacement later.
