AfterFast, Reliable Impact Windows & Doors Across Delray Beach
Impact window and door replacement in Delray Beach carries a different set of requirements than almost anywhere else in Palm Beach County. The housing stock here is older, the masonry openings are rarely standard, and the coastal wind code makes impact-rated glazing mandatory on virtually every job. If you own a 1950s or 1960s concrete block home west of Federal Highway, or a wood-frame cottage near the historic district, you need a crew that has opened up enough Delray Beach walls to know what’s behind them. Call (561) 264-1337 and you’ll get a live person who can talk through your specific street, your specific window, and what the permit will require before we ever set foot on the property.
TruePane Windows & Doors has been doing this work long enough to know that a Delray Beach jalousie window is never just a window. It’s a rough opening that probably doesn’t match what the manufacturer catalogs, flashing that may have failed before most of our techs were born, and a code requirement that changed three times since the house was built. We plan for that reality on every estimate.
Why TruePane Windows & Doors Is Delray Beach’s Preferred Impact Windows & Doors Company
Reputation in Delray Beach is built one street at a time. The homeowner across from you in Lake Ida has been in that house for thirty years. They remember the contractor who left a fogged seal and a door that binds in July. They talk to their neighbors. That’s why our crews wear uniforms, arrive when we say we will, and measure every opening twice before we quote. The work we do on Seacrest Boulevard gets discussed at the Publix on Linton.
Our Impact Windows & Doors team started with one principle from our founder Dale Kessler: if the pane is not true, the job is not done. That’s the rule on every install, every replacement, every inspection. It’s why both manufacturer warranty layers get registered in writing before the truck leaves your driveway under The Keystone Standard. It’s why we put the Done Right Promise on every job, no fine print that covers neither.
And when something goes wrong, a live person answers the phone. All day, every day. That matters in a town where half the conversations about contractors start with “they never called me back.”
Our Impact Windows & Doors Services in Delray Beach
Hurricane Impact Windows
Most Delray Beach homes west of Federal Highway are 1950s-1970s CBS construction, and many still have the original jalousie or single-pane aluminum windows. Those units offer almost no hurricane resistance, and the masonry rough openings underneath rarely match anything a manufacturer stocks today. That means custom-sized impact windows are the norm here, not the exception. We measure, order, and install impact-rated units built to Palm Beach County’s ~140 mph design wind speed, with the permit pulled and the inspection passed before we consider the job done.
Impact Sliding Glass Doors
Sliders in Delray Beach take a beating from salt air and sun. If you’re east of A1A or along the Intracoastal, standard aluminum frames can corrode badly in three to five years. We quote marine-grade finishes and PVC or fiberglass frames specifically for those barrier island and water-adjacent properties. On the mainland CBS homes, we often find sliders that were never properly flashed, which explains the soft drywall at the corners and the door that jams every July.
Impact Entry & French Doors
Entry doors on Delray Beach’s pre-WWII wood-frame cottages and mid-century ranches weren’t built for 140 mph wind loads. A proper impact entry or French door replacement means checking the rough opening, the sill condition, and the hinge reinforcement. We do that inspection before we quote, not after we’ve already pulled the old unit and found rot. For historic district homes in Nassau Park or near Old School Square, we source doors that satisfy the city’s preservation board while still carrying Florida Product Approved impact ratings.
Impact Garage Doors
Garage doors are the largest single opening in most Delray Beach homes, and the one most likely to fail under hurricane force winds. The fix typically involves a certified impact-rated door, reinforced tracks, and upgraded jamb brackets. We handle the full replacement on CBS and wood-frame homes alike, and we pull the permit so the wind-load certification is on file when you sell or renew your insurance.

Trusted Brands We Service in Delray Beach
We’re an authorized installer for more than a dozen manufacturer lines, and we quote them side by side on paper so you see exactly what you’re buying. On most Delray Beach homes we’re working with PGT and Simonton units because they offer strong impact ratings and coastal-grade finishes that hold up to Intracoastal salt air. For clients who want a specific look in a historic district, we also work with Jeld-Wen for custom divided-lite patterns. We don’t list the whole catalog; we pick the lines that actually perform in this specific climate and housing stock, and we stock replacement hardware locally so a broken latch or worn roller doesn’t leave you waiting on a shipment.
Common Impact Windows & Doors Problems We See in Delray Beach Homes
- Decayed original flashing on 1950s-1970s CBS homes. In the Lake Ida neighborhood, our crew opened the wall around a 1963 jalousie unit and found the original flashing tape had decayed to dust. The rough opening was undersized and the framing was soft at the corners from decades of wind-driven rain. We reframed the opening to exact custom dimensions, installed a fusion-welded impact-rated casement with argon fill and low-E glass, and brought the permit up to Palm Beach County’s 140 mph wind-load code before the inspector arrived.
- Salt-air corrosion east of A1A and along the Intracoastal. Standard aluminum impact frames and hardware fail in three to five years in this exposure zone. Marine-grade finishes and composite or fiberglass frames are the only sensible choice for barrier island properties.
- Jalousie windows hiding undersized rough openings. The original louvered glass units look simple, but the masonry openings behind them rarely match any stock impact unit. Custom fabrication and some wall modification are almost always required.
- Historic district compliance failures. Nassau Park and Old School Square homes must replicate original divided-lite profiles while still meeting county wind-load code. That dual compliance requirement trips up installers who mostly work newer construction in Boca Raton. We’ve handled enough Delray Beach historic reviews to know what passes.
Pricing for Impact Windows & Doors in Delray Beach, FL
A custom-sized impact window for a 1950s-1970s CBS home in Delray Beach typically runs $1,100-$2,400 per unit installed, including the permit and the wall work needed to fit a masonry opening that doesn’t match stock dimensions. Impact sliding glass doors generally land between $3,200 and $6,500 installed, depending on size, marine-grade finish requirements, and whether the existing rough opening needs reframing. Impact entry doors run $2,800-$5,500, and a full impact garage door replacement usually falls between $2,400 and $4,800. Historic district jobs in Nassau Park or near Old School Square add cost for custom divided-lite patterns and city preservation review, often 20-35% above a standard installation. The honest answer is that Delray Beach pricing runs higher than Boca Raton because the housing stock demands custom work. We’ll give you a written, line-item quote before anything gets ordered, and the number on that quote is the number on the bill. Call (561) 264-1337 to schedule your free estimate.

FAQs - Impact Windows & Doors in Delray Beach
Delray Beach’s housing stock is dominated by 1950s-1970s concrete block stucco homes, and their masonry rough openings rarely match modern window dimensions. That means custom-sized impact units and wall modification on nearly every job, while Boca Raton’s newer tract construction can often use off-the-shelf impact windows. Delray Beach also has salt-air exposure zones along the Intracoastal that push you toward marine-grade finishes, plus historic district requirements around Nassau Park that add custom fabrication and city review. The extra cost isn’t markup; it’s the reality of opening up a mid-century CBS wall. Call (561) 264-1337 and we’ll walk you through a line-item quote for your specific street.
Yes. Every replacement window in Delray Beach must be Florida Product Approved for the county’s ~140 mph design wind speed, and the permit process covers that compliance. What the permit doesn’t tell you is what hides behind the old jalousie: decayed flashing, undersized rough openings, soft framing. We fold the framing repair and the code upgrade into one scope of work and one written price so the inspection passes on the first trip.
Almost never. Original Delray Beach jalousie frames are lightweight aluminum with louvers that don’t seal against wind-driven rain, and they don’t carry any Florida Product Approval for impact loads. The glazing itself isn’t the problem; the frame and the rough opening behind it are. We’ll show you what the old frame actually looks like once it’s out, and we’ll quote the correct custom-sized impact unit to replace it.
If you’re east of A1A or directly on the Intracoastal, standard aluminum frames will corrode badly in three to five years. The salt spray eats the weep holes, the rollers, the lock mechanisms. Marine-grade finishes and PVC or fiberglass frames are not an upsell in that exposure zone; they’re the difference between a window that lasts fifteen years and one that needs replacement before the mortgage is half paid. We quote both options so you see the cost difference in writing.
Historic districts like Nassau Park and Old School Square require replacement windows to replicate the original profile and divided-lite configuration. But county code still demands impact-rated glass. That means custom colonial or casement patterns with laminated impact glazing, fabricated to match the home’s original look while passing wind-load certification. It’s a dual-compliance burden most installers never deal with. We’ve navigated the city’s preservation review process on enough Delray Beach homes to know what the board will accept and what it won’t.
