AfterFast, Reliable Impact Windows Across Delray Beach
Impact window replacement in Delray Beach typically runs $800–$1,500 per window installed, with whole-home packages starting around $8,000. Most of the work we do here splits into two urgent realities: salt-corroded frames on the barrier island (33483) and code-failing sliding glass doors in the 55-plus communities west of I-95. If you’re weighing replacement against another season of drag-out shutters, call (844) 901-4551 for a free in-home measure and a line-item written quote.
Ed Winslow has had his name on this business since 2011, and our crews work Delray Beach neighborhoods every week, from the A1A condos down to Century Village. We know what the salt air does to aluminum frames along the Intracoastal. We know what the HOA boards in Kings Point will and won’t approve. And we know the Palm Beach County permit process well enough that your inspection doesn’t stall because of a missed detail.
Why Winslow Windows & Doors Is Delray Beach’s Preferred Impact Windows Company
We’re the local owner-operated alternative to the national chains that hand you a ticket number and call it service. Ed Winslow’s name is on the door, and on every job we do. Our published address and license number are on every quote we write. When you call at 2 a.m. because a jalousie panel finally gave out and rain is coming through, a live person answers. Not a voicemail loop. Not a call center in another state. A person who knows Delray Beach and can tell you exactly when a technician will be at your door.
Every technician we send into Delray Beach is background-checked and arrives in uniform, so you know who’s walking up the driveway before the first handshake. Our reputation here is built on the jobs where an HOA threw a curveball, or a rough opening didn’t match the spec sheet, and we still delivered on the number we quoted. Upfront pricing. No surprises on the invoice. That’s the standard we’ve held for over 15 years, and it’s why homeowners from 33483 to 33447 keep our number saved.
We’re also an authorized installer for eight premium brands including PGT, CGI, CWS, and ES Windows. That matters in Delray Beach because not every brand has a narrow-profile unit that fits a 1970s slider pocket. We do, and we know which ones the county will approve without a second look.
Our Impact Windows Services in Delray Beach
Specialty Narrow-Profile Impact Sliders for Century Village and Kings Point
The original 1970s aluminum sliders in Century Village and Kings Point came in narrow frame profiles that standard off-the-shelf impact units can’t match. The HOA deed restrictions in these communities require exact color and width matching. We source specialty narrow-profile impact sliders from PGT and CGI that fit the existing rough openings without widening the wall, which keeps your permit clean and your board happy.
Marine-Grade Aluminum and Vinyl Frame Replacements for 33483
Properties along A1A and the Intracoastal in 33483 sit in one of the most corrosive environments in Palm Beach County. Dual salt-air exposure from the ocean and the waterway eats standard aluminum frames within years, not decades. For these jobs we recommend marine-grade aluminum or high-performance vinyl frames rated for coastal exposure. The right frame choice here is the difference between a window that lasts 20 years and one that pits and binds in five.
Structural Inspection and Rough-Opening Correction
Before any impact window goes into an older Delray Beach home, we inspect what’s behind the stucco. On 1960s concrete block construction, it’s common to find shifted rough openings, salt-corroded sub-frames, and lintels with hairline cracks. We correct those issues before installation, with any changes priced and approved in writing. You’ll never get a surprise change order after the walls are open.
Full Window and Door Replacement for Delray Beach Homes
From 1950s jalousie panels on 33483 fixer-uppers to uniform sliders in western Delray Beach HOAs, we handle complete window and door replacement projects. Every job includes a free structural assessment, permit coordination through Palm Beach County, and installation by our own background-checked crews. We don’t subcontract to strangers.

Trusted Brands We Service in Delray Beach
As an authorized installer for PGT, CGI, ES Windows, and CWS, we can service and replace impact windows across Delray Beach without the brand-loyalty runaround you get from factory-direct retailers. We stock common replacement parts for these brands locally, which means faster turnaround when you need a sash replaced or hardware rebuilt. And since we’re one of the few authorized PGT and CGI installers serving Delray Beach who also understands the narrow-profile requirements of the older HOA communities, you’re not waiting on a subcontracted crew from Broward to figure out your building.
Common Impact Windows Problems We See in Delray Beach Homes
- Salt-corroded aluminum frames on 33483 properties: The Atlantic oceanfront and Intracoastal Waterway create a double salt-air exposure that pits standard aluminum within years. Owners wait until a frame cracks or a glass lite pops out, by which point water has usually found its way into the wall cavity.
- HOA slider mismatches in Century Village and Kings Point: Out-of-area contractors pull a permit and discover the standard replacement slider is 2–4 inches too wide for the existing rough opening. The HOA won’t approve a different width, so the job stalls while someone figures out a custom order.
- Original jalousie windows failing wind-load code: The 1950s–70s louvered glass panels common on the east side can’t be made hurricane-compliant under any retrofit. Palm Beach County’s 130-mph design wind speed zone requires impact-rated glazing or approved shutters on any permitted replacement.
- Failed waterproofing behind original window flanges: On older concrete block homes, the original flashing rots silently behind the stucco. Nobody knows until the walls are opened and the framing is spongy. Without a written change-order allowance, the owner eats the cost of the repair and the recall inspection.
Pricing for Impact Windows in Delray Beach, FL
Impact windows in Delray Beach generally run $800–$1,500 per window installed. Impact single-hung units fall between $900–$1,800. Large or custom openings, like a wide living-room picture window or a corner slider, run $2,500–$5,000. Whole-home packages start around $8,000 and can exceed $25,000 on barrier-island properties with custom frame requirements.
What moves the price in Delray Beach? Opening count, wind zone, floor height, and frame material. A third-floor oceanfront condo in 33483 needs a higher design pressure rating than a ground-level ranch in 33447. Marine-grade aluminum costs more than standard aluminum but pays for itself in longevity. The best way to know your number is a free in-home measure. We’ll walk the property, check the openings, flag any structural concerns, and hand you a written line-item quote before you commit to anything. Call (844) 901-4551 to schedule yours.
What Impact Windows Costs in Delray Beach
Let’s get into the real numbers, because pricing here isn’t the same as what a national estimator would quote for “South Florida” generically. Delray Beach’s building stock tilts older: 1950s–70s concrete block on the east side, 1970s–80s planned communities to the west. That means more custom rough-opening work, more structural correction, and more HOA-driven specialty units than you’d see in newer construction markets.
- Standard impact window (per unit, installed): $800–$1,500
- Impact single-hung: $900–$1,800
- Large or custom openings (picture windows, corner sliders): $2,500–$5,000
- Whole-home package (typical 3-bedroom Delray Beach home): $8,000–$25,000+
Design pressure ratings are matched to each opening; we never install a unit rated above +/-100 where the opening doesn’t require it, and we never under-spec a coastal exposure. Every quote includes a free structural inspection and a written line-item breakdown. No allowances guessed. No vague “to be determined” line items.
Florida Pays You Back
Florida has real incentive programs that offset the cost of impact windows and doors in Delray Beach. The My Safe Florida Home program offers matching grants up to $10,000 for qualifying wind-mitigation upgrades, though program availability shifts by funding cycle. Impact-resistant windows and doors are exempt from Florida sales tax. The federal 25C energy credit can return up to 30% of product cost, capped at $600 per year, on qualifying energy-efficient units. And after a wind-mitigation inspection ($75–$150), most Delray Beach homeowners see their windstorm premium drop by roughly 25% on the windstorm portion of their policy. Programs and carriers set the final numbers, but we’ll point you to the right inspections and documentation to maximize what you qualify for.
One comparison worth making: impact windows versus hurricane shutters. Shutters cost less upfront, but you’re still hanging panels every time a storm tracks toward Palm Beach County, and they do nothing for security, noise, or cooling bills the other 360 days of the year. Impact windows are permanent protection that you never think about until you need them, and they earn you the same windstorm credits on your insurance. If you’re replacing windows anyway, the math usually favors impact glass. If you’re weighing a big-box retail install against a licensed impact specialist, remember that the box store subcontracted crew won’t pull your Palm Beach County permit correctly, won’t know a 1970s HOA slider restriction from a standard opening, and won’t be around when the inspector flags a design pressure mismatch. We will.

FAQs — Impact Windows in Delray Beach
The original 1970s sliding glass doors in Century Village and Kings Point were built with narrow aluminum profiles that standard modern impact sliders don’t match. HOA deed restrictions require exact color and width matching on any replacement, but the original profiles no longer meet current impact-glazing requirements. Contractors who don’t know this pull the permit, order standard off-the-shelf PGT or CGI units, and then discover the new sliders are 2–4 inches too wide for the existing rough openings. We source specialty narrow-profile impact units from PGT and CGI that fit those pockets without widening the wall, keeping the HOA satisfied and the permit moving. Call (844) 901-4551 for a free measure if you’re in one of these communities.
Delray Beach sits in Palm Beach County’s 130-mph design wind speed zone, which means any permitted window or door replacement must be impact-rated glazing or an approved shutter system. Impact windows are the permanent solution and qualify for the same windstorm insurance credits without the hassle of hanging panels. Shutters can satisfy the code requirement, but they don’t solve the underlying issue of aging, leaking, or code-failing windows. Most Delray Beach homeowners replacing windows choose impact glass because it’s the one-time fix that adds value and earns insurance credits. We’ll help you sort the permit path either way. Call (844) 901-4551.
Salt air off the Atlantic and the Intracoastal corrodes standard aluminum frames within years, so for 33483 properties we recommend marine-grade aluminum or high-performance vinyl frames rated for coastal exposure. PGT’s coastal lines and CGI’s marine-rated aluminum hold up far better than standard builder-grade aluminum in this environment. The frame material matters as much as the glass rating; we’ve pulled five-year-old standard frames off A1A condos that looked worse than twenty-year-old inland units. We’ll spec the right material for your specific shoreline exposure. Call (844) 901-4551 for an assessment.
On 1950s–70s concrete block construction, we routinely find salt-eaten jambs, shifted rough openings, and lintels with hairline cracks once the stucco comes off. The original waterproofing behind window flanges is often rotted, and nobody knows until the walls are open. On a 1960s concrete block home in 33483 along A1A, our crew pulled the original jalousie windows and found the rough openings had shifted nearly half an inch over six decades; the aluminum sub-frames were salt-corroded and the lintels showed hairline cracks. We called in a structural consult before setting the new PGT impact casements, and the inspector signed off only after we re-anchored the jambs to code with epoxy-set bolts. That’s the kind of work that separates a real Delray Beach impact installer from a crew that just swaps glass. Call (844) 901-4551 and we’ll inspect before you commit.
Yes. Original jalousie windows on older Delray Beach homes leak air constantly, even when closed. Modern Low-E impact glass reduces solar heat gain and air infiltration dramatically, and most homeowners see a measurable drop in cooling costs during the long Palm Beach County cooling season. The effect is strongest on the east side where afternoon sun beats on unshaded west-facing walls. Add the federal 25C energy credit on qualifying units, and the upgrade pays back faster than you’d think. Call (844) 901-4551 for an exact quote on your home.
What We Find Behind the Stucco of Older Delray Beach Homes
Delray Beach’s window and door market splits sharply into two replacement drivers. The Atlantic-facing barrier island (33483) battles salt spray off the ocean and the Intracoastal Waterway, which corrodes aluminum frames and door hardware within years. The dense inland retirement communities, Century Village and Kings Point among them, are packed with 1970s–80s sliding glass doors and jalousie windows that fail both Palm Beach County’s 130-mph design-wind-load code and modern energy standards. Every job in this city touches one of these two urgent realities: coastal corrosion or code-compliance upgrade. And the permit process runs through Palm Beach County’s building department, which is distinct from the stricter HVHZ rules in neighboring Broward County to the south. That difference alters approved product choices, inspection details, and the sequence of work.
When we open up an older Delray Beach home, here’s what we actually find: outdated wiring that was never meant to carry a modern panel load, undersized or damaged framing around original window pockets, failed waterproofing behind original flanges, and the code upgrades a permit triggers once walls are open. This is the single biggest reason a replacement quote moves. So we handle it directly: inspection first, allowances written into the contract, and any surprise priced and approved in writing before we touch it. You’ll never get a call saying “we found something” with a number attached after the fact.
In Century Village and Kings Point specifically, hundreds of nearly identical 1970s-era units share the same narrow aluminum sliding glass door profiles. HOA deed restrictions require exact color and width matching on any replacement, but the original profiles no longer meet current impact-glazing requirements. The fix is specialty narrow-profile impact units or custom-ordered frames. Out-of-area companies routinely trip on this: they pull the permit and then discover standard off-the-shelf replacement sliders are 2–4 inches too wide for the existing rough openings. We know these buildings. We know what the board will approve. And we order correctly the first time.
For barrier island homes in 33483, the conversation is different. Marine-grade aluminum or vinyl frames are the practical standard for east-side properties because dual salt-air exposure accelerates oxidation far faster than anywhere more than a few miles inland. The right frame decision here is a 20-year decision. We’ll walk the property, check the exposure, and spec the material that won’t pit and bind before the warranty is even halfway through.
