AfterFast, Reliable Window Replacement Across Delray Beach
Window replacement in Delray Beach typically costs $850-$1,400 per opening for standard insert windows, and $1,600-$2,800 per opening for full-frame or impact-rated work, with most jobs scheduled within 2-4 weeks after HOA and county approvals clear. If you’re calling from Kings Point, High Point of Delray, or anywhere along Atlantic Avenue, you’re dealing with salt air, aging CBS construction, and deed restrictions that most contractors don’t understand until it’s too late. We do. Our crews set windows in Delray Beach neighborhoods every week, and we’ve learned exactly where jobs stall. Call (786) 743-5882 for a straight answer and a free estimate.
Why TruePane Windows & Doors Is Delray Beach’s Preferred Window Replacement Company
We’ve worked inside enough Kings Point and Pines of Delray units to know what a 1982 jalousie frame looks like after 40 years of South Florida humidity. Our technicians recognize the original aluminum sliders on High Point’s CBS ranches before they step through the door. That’s not trivia. It means our measurements account for settled concrete, corroded tracks, and windows sized to non-standard openings that big-box replacement programs can’t handle.
Delray Beach homeowners don’t want a sales pitch. They want someone who files the HOA packet on time, pulls the Palm Beach County permit, and shows up with the right glass for a coastal climate. Our local reputation is built on that. We’re led by Dale Kessler, a second-generation glazier who founded TruePane in 2008 on a simple rule: if the pane is not true, the job is not done. Homeowners in this market, many of whom have lived in their homes twenty or thirty years, appreciate a company that puts warranty durations in writing before the truck leaves. They’ve been burned by contractors who vanish. We plan to be in Delray Beach in thirty years.
Our Window Replacement Services in Delray Beach
Full Frame Replacement
In Delray Beach’s older stock, full frame replacement is often the only path to code compliance. A 1978 CBS home west of I-95 with original jalousie windows cannot be retrofitted into impact compliance. The entire frame has to come out. We remove the old frame to the rough opening, replace any rotted wood or cracked concrete, flash the opening properly, and set a new window that meets current Florida Building Code wind-load requirements. In Kings Point and High Point, we arrange the HOA submission and county permit so the work starts only after both approvals are in hand.
Insert Window Replacement
When your existing frames are square and solid, insert windows keep costs down. We fit new sashes and glass into the existing openings, preserving interior trim and stucco. This is common in Delray Beach condominiums along A1A where HOA boards require uniform exterior appearance. Inserts run less than full frame replacements, usually $850-$1,400 per window depending on glass package, and most insert jobs finish in one visit. For coastal condos, we specify vinyl or powder-coated aluminum frames that resist the salt air that chews through standard hardware.
Storm Window Replacement
Storm windows in Delray Beach are not the old triple-track aluminum from the Northeast. Here, the term means impact-rated glazing or a secondary system that gives you a storm barrier without replacing the whole window. We’ve installed impact-rated storm panels and laminated-glass inserts in the Pines of Delray and along Military Trail. For homes east of US-1, where direct Atlantic exposure shortens window life to 10-15 years, a storm-rated replacement is often what lets a homeowner stay put through hurricane season without taping glass every July.
Energy-Efficient Upgrade
A single-pane aluminum window from 1984 lets the Delray Beach afternoon sun turn a living room into a box. We replace those with low-E, argon-filled double-pane units rated for South Florida’s cooling load. Homeowners in the 33444 and 33445 ZIP codes see the biggest change, but the play works anywhere. For older Delray Beach homes near downtown, we often pair an insert upgrade with solar-reflective glazing that keeps the original look while cutting the heat gain. This is the upgrade that pays for itself in FPL bills within a few summers, and we quote the glass package options side by side so you understand exactly what you’re buying.

Trusted Brands We Service in Delray Beach
We’re an authorized installer for more than a dozen manufacturer lines, and in Delray Beach we most often quote PGT, CGI, and Ply Gem windows because their impact-rated product lines match what Palm Beach County code and HOA boards require. We stock common glass sizes and hardware locally for Delray Beach customers, which shortens lead times when a window fails mid-summer and the board wants it fixed before the next meeting. We service what we install, and we register both warranty layers in writing before we leave your driveway. All of that is covered under our Done Right Promise.
Common Window Replacement Problems We See in Delray Beach Homes
- HOA rejection for wrong color or material. Kings Point and High Point architectural boards keep strict records. Submit the wrong color sample or skip Miami-Dade NOA documentation, and you’ll get a rejection letter instead of an approval. We build the submittal packet weeks ahead and walk it through before we ever order glass.
- Salt-air corrosion on A1A condos. East of US-1, aluminum frames and hardware pit and seize within a decade. We replace coastal units with marine-grade frames and stainless hardware rated for direct salt exposure, extending functional life well past what the original install achieved.
- Non-compliant jalousie windows. The 1970s and 1980s retirement communities were built with jalousie or single-pane sliders. Those cannot meet current Florida Building Code. We handle the full replacement, including the HOA packet and county permit, so you don’t sit through another hurricane season with glass that won’t hold.
- Deferred maintenance from seasonal residents. A window that binds in June is a window someone ignored in January. We see it in Delray Beach constantly, especially in second-home condos along the beach. We measure twice, quote the replacement honestly, and schedule the work in the owner’s off-season window whenever possible.
Pricing for Window Replacement in Delray Beach, FL
Here’s the straight math for Delray Beach. A standard insert window replacement runs $850-$1,400 per opening. Full frame replacement runs $1,600-$2,800 per opening, and impact-rated windows in coastal buildings add $400-$800 per opening for the laminated glass and heavier frame. A whole-home job in a 1970s CBS ranch west of I-95, replacing 8-12 openings with impact inserts, typically lands between $9,000 and $16,000. Full frame replacement on a 1950s home near downtown can run $18,000-$28,000 depending on opening sizes and existing frame condition. No change orders mid-job. We quote line items on paper, and the price we quote is the price on the invoice. Estimates are free. Call (786) 743-5882 to schedule one.

FAQs - Window Replacement in Delray Beach
Plan on submitting your window replacement packet at least three weeks before the monthly architectural review board meeting, because Delray Beach HOAs like Kings Point, High Point of Delray, and Pines of Delray often meet only once a month and require product approvals, Miami-Dade NOA documentation, and color samples in advance. Miss the cycle and your project start date slips 6-10 weeks. We handle the entire submittal for you, and we schedule around the board’s calendar so the county permit and HOA approval clear in sequence, not one after the other. Call (786) 743-5882 to get your project on the right timeline.
Yes, in practice. Original jalousie and single-pane aluminum windows from the 1970s-1990s housing stock in Delray Beach cannot be retrofitted to meet current Florida Building Code wind-load and impact-resistance standards, so replacement is the only compliant path when a window fails or a home is sold. If your jalousie windows are still functioning, code doesn’t force replacement on its own, but most homeowners replace them when seals fail or when their HOA or insurer requires impact-rated glazing. We quote both insert and full frame options for jalousie replacement, and we file the paperwork so the job is done right, not just done.
Yes. Properties east of US-1 in Delray Beach face direct Atlantic exposure, and salt air corrodes aluminum frames, hardware, and glazing seals far faster than inland Palm Beach County, routinely cutting functional window life to 10-15 years. A window that lasts 25 years in Kings Point may need replacement in 12 along A1A. We specify marine-grade frames and stainless hardware for coastal work, and we quote those upgrades as line items so you see exactly what you’re paying for. For a coastal-specific estimate, call (786) 743-5882.
Yes. TruePane handles both approval gates for every window replacement in Delray Beach: we prepare and submit the HOA architectural review packet to communities like Kings Point and High Point of Delray, and we pull the Palm Beach County building permit. We’ve done this enough to know which boards meet monthly and which want color samples pinned to the submittal. We don’t start the job until both approvals are in writing, and we don’t leave a job half-finished waiting on a committee. That sequence is part of the quote. Call (786) 743-5882 to get your project scheduled around the next board meeting rather than after it.
In Delray Beach’s 55-plus communities like Kings Point and Pines of Delray, HOAs most commonly approve impact-rated double-hung windows in white or bronze finishes, or horizontal sliders matching the original elevation, with Miami-Dade NOA documentation and color samples submitted in advance. Most boards reject non-impact aluminum frames and unapproved tints. We keep a record of what each community has approved in the past, and we quote the exact product line and finish the board is most likely to accept. It saves you a rejection letter and a missed cycle. For a quote tailored to your community’s requirements, call (786) 743-5882.
