Fast, Reliable Custom Windows & Doors Across Delray Beach
Custom Impact Windows & Doors - Delray Beach usually mean one thing before any other: impact-rated units sized to a masonry opening that was never built to a modern standard. Most homes here, especially the 1950s through 1970s CBS construction west of Federal Highway, need custom-sized products rather than stock units. That’s the work we do every week, from Lake Ida to the barrier island. Call (561) 264-1337 and you’ll get a live person, not a phone tree.
Why TruePane Windows & Doors Is the Right Choice for Delray Beach
We’re a second-generation glazier’s company, led by Dale Kessler, and we’ve built our name on a simple rule: if the pane is not true, the job is not done. Delray Beach homeowners call us because the house they’ve lived in for twenty-five years still has the original jalousie windows, and they know a stock window from a big-box store won’t fit the opening. We measure every opening twice. We quote manufacturer lines side by side on paper, so you see exactly what you’re buying before you sign anything.
Every install is backed by the Done Right Promise and The Keystone Standard. Both manufacturer warranty layers get registered in writing, with durations stated, before our truck leaves your driveway. If something isn’t done right, we make it right. No paperwork fights, no fine print that covers neither. Our technicians are background-checked and uniformed. They work in your home the way they’d work in their own mother’s.
We’re not the cheapest bid in Delray Beach. We’re the last call you should need to make. Years of community service stands behind the work, and a live person answers our phone 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
Our Custom Windows & Doors Services in Delray Beach
Our Custom Windows & Doors team handles the work that stock-unit installers won’t touch. Delray Beach’s housing stock demands it. Here’s what we do most often for homeowners in this city.
Custom Shape Windows
Arched, radius, eyebrow, trapezoid, circular, octagon. If the opening isn’t a rectangle, the window has to be built to the opening, not the other way around. In Delray Beach’s CBS homes, we regularly see original openings that were framed with whatever the block mason had on hand in 1963. Custom shape windows are the answer. We template each opening on site, order the exact glass pack, and flash the jamb and sill per Palm Beach County code before the unit is set.
Commercial Storefront Glazing
Delray Beach’s commercial corridors, Atlantic Avenue especially, run on glass. Storefront systems take a beating from sun, salt, and pedestrian traffic. We install and service aluminum storefront framing, tempered glass, and Delray Beach Door Installation for impact-rated entry systems in retail and restaurant spaces. Turnaround matters to a business paying rent, so we schedule storefront work in Delray Beach with as little disruption to operating hours as possible.
Curtain Wall Systems
Curtain wall is common on the newer mid-rise buildings along Federal Highway and the condo conversions east of A1A. These systems are engineered, not just assembled. A proper curtain wall install in Delray Beach has to handle sustained wind loads, driving rain from summer storms, and salt spray corrosion. We install and service curtain wall with the same documentation discipline we bring to residential work. Every anchor, every mullion, weather-sealed and pressure-tested.
Architectural Grilles & SDLs
Simulated divided lites, true divided lites, and exterior grilles change the character of a window without changing its performance. This matters in Delray Beach more than most places. The historic districts around Nassau Park and Old School Square require replacement windows to replicate the original divided-lite pattern of the historic units, which we’ll address below. We source custom grille patterns for both historic replication and modern aesthetic preference, always inside an impact-rated sash.
Trusted Brands We Service in Delray Beach
We’re an authorized installer for more than a dozen manufacturer lines, including, PGT, and CGI. For the specific demands of Delray Beach’s CBS housing stock, we often spec PGT impact units for coastal wind-load zones and Simonton or Jeld-Wen for replacement windows on the mainland side where the design wind pressure is lower. When a custom shape or oversized panel is needed, we work directly with manufacturers to get the right glass pack, not just whatever’s in the regional warehouse. We carry common parts for fast turnaround on Delray Beach service calls, and we quote side by side so you can compare what each line actually costs.
Common Custom Windows & Doors Problems We See in Delray Beach Homes
- Corroded aluminum frames on barrier island properties. East of A1A and along the Intracoastal, salt air eats standard aluminum frames and hardware in as few as three to five years. The result is fogged glass, seized operators, and frames that flake to powder. We specify marine-grade finishes or PVC and fiberglass frames for these locations.
- Off-the-shelf windows that don’t match the masonry opening. Delray Beach’s CBS homes have rough openings that rarely conform to modern stock sizes. Installers who force a stock unit into a non-standard opening leave gaps that fail wind-load tests, void the permit, and leak during hurricane season. We order custom-sized units. It’s not optional here.
- Missing Florida Product Approval documentation. A cheap quote often means the product approval paperwork never gets filed. That kills the insurance discount and makes it harder to prove an impact claim later. Every job we do includes the Florida Product Approval documentation, registered in writing.
- Historic district compliance failures. In Delray Beach’s certified historic districts, a replacement window has to satisfy both the preservation board’s design requirements and the county’s wind-load code. A standard impact window won’t pass the aesthetic review. A non-impact window won’t pass code. The dual-compliance path is specific, and we walk it regularly for homeowners near Old School Square and Nassau Park.
Pricing for Custom Windows & Doors in Delray Beach, FL
Custom window and door work in Delray Beach runs higher than tract-home replacement work in newer developments because the units are built to non-standard dimensions and the installation is more involved. For a custom impact-rated casement or picture window sized to a CBS opening, expect to pay roughly $1,400 to $2,800 per opening, including installation and permitting. Architectural grilles or custom muntin patterns typically add $300 to $600 per window. Oversized glass panels run from $3,000 to $7,500 per panel depending on size and wind-load requirements. A full curtain wall replacement on a commercial storefront in Delray Beach typically lands between $180 and $320 per square foot. For an exact quote on your home, call (561) 264-1337. Estimates are free, and we put the numbers on paper before you commit.
Delray Beach Code Compliance: What a Compliant Quote Includes
Here’s the part most Delray Beach homeowners don’t hear from a low bid. Palm Beach County mandates impact-rated units to a design wind speed of roughly 140 mph for coastal exposure zones. That means your custom windows have to carry Florida Product Approval documentation showing they meet the wind-load and missile-impact standards for your specific location, not just for Florida in general.
In Delray Beach’s large stock of 1950s through 1970s CBS homes, concentrated in neighborhoods like Lake Ida west of Federal Highway, the masonry rough openings were never built to modern standard widths. We recently retrofitted a 1963 CBS ranch in Lake Ida where the original jalousie windows had corroded aluminum frames from decades of salt air. Our crew custom-built new impact-rated casement windows with marine-grade hardware to fit the non-standard masonry openings, then flashed the jambs and sills per Palm Beach County code before the inspector signed off. That’s the standard, not the exception.
A compliant quote includes the permit, the product approval documentation, the engineered anchoring for a masonry substrate, and the final inspection. A cheap quote skips the documentation, uses stock sizes, and leaves you with windows that won’t pass a wind-load test and won’t qualify for your insurance discount. We don’t cut that corner. If the pane is not true, the job is not done.
Homeowners on the barrier island east of A1A and along the Intracoastal face a separate problem: salt-air corrosion. Standard aluminum frames and hardware fail there in as few as three to five years. We spec marine-grade finishes or alternative frame materials for those properties. The quote should say so in writing. Ours does.

FAQs - Custom Windows & Doors in Delray Beach
Yes. Palm Beach County requires a permit for any window replacement that changes the opening size or the structural performance of the wall assembly. A single window swap to a custom impact unit triggers the permit requirement. We pull the permit ourselves, schedule the inspection, and make sure the documentation is in order before the inspector arrives. Call (561) 264-1337 if you want the permit handled start to finish.
In Delray Beach’s coastal exposure zones, your custom windows must meet a design wind speed of approximately 140 mph with Florida Product Approval documentation to back it up. That’s not a suggestion; it’s the county standard. We spec units that carry the proper approval for your specific exposure category, not just a generic “impact-rated” label. The documentation gets registered in writing before we leave your driveway.
It differs in the anchoring method and the amount of flashing work. A CBS home has masonry rough openings, which require engineered anchoring systems and more involved jamb and sill flashing. A wood-frame cottage, common near the historic downtown core, requires wood buck repair and a different flashing detail. The window itself may be identical, but the installation labor and the hardware change. A quote that doesn’t distinguish between the two probably hasn’t looked at your house yet.
Yes. Impact-laminated glass can be fabricated with custom divided-lite patterns, including the colonial and casement patterns the preservation board expects in the Nassau Park and Old School Square districts. The glass pack carries the impact rating, and the grille pattern is built into the unit rather than applied on the surface. The dual compliance is achievable, but it requires a custom order. We handle those orders regularly for Delray Beach historic district homeowners. Call (561) 264-1337 and we’ll walk you through the board approval process.
Argon fill improves the insulating performance of a double-pane unit, which matters more in Delray Beach than people expect. The humidity near the Intracoastal is high year-round. A poorly insulated window sweats, and in a salt-air environment, that moisture accelerates frame corrosion and seal failure. Argon fill combined with a low-E coating keeps the glass surface warmer, reducing condensation and extending the life of the seal. For any custom window within a mile of the water, we spec argon fill as standard. It’s a small line item in the quote and a big difference in how long the unit lasts.
