Our Window Replacement crew works Delray Beach neighborhoods every week, from Kings Point to the barrier island. We know which CBS ranch homes still carry original single-pane sliders and which condo associations require specific impact profiles. That local knowledge changes what we quote and how we install.
Why TruePane Windows & Doors Is Delray Beach’s Preferred Window Replacement Company
Dale Kessler founded TruePane Windows & Doors in 2008 after years of watching out-of-true installs and voided warranties ruin what should have been straightforward window jobs. Years of local tradecraft runs through how we measure, quote, and set every unit. We register both manufacturer warranty layers in writing before the truck leaves the driveway, through our Keystone Standard. No paperwork fights. No arguments. If it’s not done right, the Done Right Promise means we make it right.
Delray Beach homeowners call us because a live person answers the phone, 24/7. Not a voicemail tree. Not a callback form. When a snowbird in Kings Point calls from New Jersey in October asking if their place survived another hurricane season, they talk to someone who knows exactly what Palm Beach County code requires. Our background-checked, uniformed technicians measure every opening twice and quote manufacturer lines side by side on paper. If the pane is not true, the job is not done. That’s the rule Dale keeps on the whiteboard, and it governs every window we set in Delray Beach.
Our Window Replacement Services in Delray Beach
Full Frame Replacement
When the original aluminum frame has corroded, racked, or simply outlived its useful life, we pull the entire unit down to the rough opening. This is common in Delray Beach east of Federal Highway, where salt-spray oxidation eats aluminum sashes within a few seasons. Full frame replacement lets us correct water intrusion at the jamb, install modern flashing, and set a new impact-rated window that actually meets current Palm Beach County wind-load requirements.
Insert Window Replacement
Insert replacements fit a new energy-efficient window inside the existing frame. This is our most requested service in Delray Beach’s 55-plus communities like Kings Point, Rainberry Bay, and Tropic Palms, where thousands of 1970s and 1980s CBS ranch homes still hold original single-pane sliders. Inserts preserve interior trim and cost less than full-frame work. We quote impact-rated inserts with argon-filled insulated glass that stop the fogged-seal cycle many snowbirds return to each fall.
Storm Window Replacement
Delray Beach sits directly on the Atlantic in Palm Beach County, and properties east of Federal Highway face salt-spray corrosion that inland homes never see. Storm window replacement here means more than swapping glass. We replace corroded jamb hardware, address failed seals, and recommend marine-grade finishes that hold up against the coastal environment. Homes left vacant from May through October trap humidity inside, which accelerates seal failure and wood-door delamination. When you return in the fall, the fog between panes is often beyond repair. We replace the unit, not patch it.
Energy-Efficient Upgrade
Replacing original single-pane aluminum windows with double-pane, low-E, argon-filled units cuts cooling costs in Delray Beach by 12-18% annually, based on what we see across Palm Beach County. CBS construction holds heat, and windows that predate modern energy codes bleed conditioned air. We quote manufacturer lines side by side on paper so you see exactly what each efficiency tier costs and what it saves. No surprise line items on the bill.
Historic Window Restoration
Delray Beach’s designated Historic District around Old School Square triggers something no other Palm Beach County city requires: a mandatory pre-permit meeting with the Historic Preservation Planner before any window replacement. Impact-rated windows must replicate original lite patterns and frame dimensions exactly. A standard vinyl replacement unit will be rejected outright. We stock and fabricate narrow-profile aluminum and fiberglass impact windows in period configurations that close those sales legally. Most contractors avoid this niche. We do it routinely.

Common Window Replacement Problems We See in Delray Beach Homes
- Fogged double-pane seals from vacant summers. Snowbird homes left empty May through October trap humidity inside. That moisture works its way into insulated glass units, and by the time owners return in the fall, the seals are failed beyond repair. Insert replacement is usually the fix.
- Salt-spray corrosion east of Federal Highway. Aluminum window frames and door hardware oxidize significantly faster within a mile of the Atlantic. Non-marine-grade finishes fail within a few seasons. We recommend marine-grade or composite frames for coastal Delray Beach properties.
- HVHZ confusion from out-of-county contractors. Palm Beach County is not a High Velocity Hurricane Zone. Miami-Dade NOA approval is not required here. But contractors working out of Broward or Miami-Dade sometimes apply the wrong standard, adding cost and delay, or worse, undercut compliance with non-impact swaps. We quote to the actual code Palm Beach County enforces, not a different county’s rules.
- Historic District permit rejections. NW and NE streets near Old School Square fall under the Historic Preservation Board. Standard vinyl replacement units get rejected at the pre-permit meeting. We fabricate narrow-profile impact windows that replicate original profiles so the permit clears the first time.

Our quotes are fixed. No change orders. No second appointment left hanging. Call (754) 238-2201 for a line-item estimate you can read in your kitchen before we leave the driveway.
Window Replacement in Delray Beach: What the Code Actually Requires
Palm Beach County enforces Florida Building Code wind-load minimums. Delray Beach is not a High Velocity Hurricane Zone, so Miami-Dade NOA approval is not required here. What is required: impact-rated glass or shutters for any replacement window in a structure, and a permit pulled through Delray Beach’s Building Division. Our quotes include the permit, the inspection, and the paperwork that documents wind-load compliance. That documentation matters when you file an insurance claim after a hurricane. If a cheap quote leaves out the permit or the impact rating, the savings vanish the first time winds test your windows.
The recurring October job in Kings Point puts a fine point on it. A 1980s CBS ranch, snowbird couple returned from New Jersey to original single-pane sliders fogged beyond repair. We installed ViewLux impact-rated insert windows with argon-filled insulated glass, pulled permits, and flashed the jambs with self-adhered flashing tape. The homeowners closed the sale after our estimator showed them the Palm Beach County code minimums on paper and matched the existing frame profile. That’s a square deal, in writing.
For homes west of I-95, impact rating is not a wind-borne debris requirement. But insurers increasingly demand it anyway. We quote both paths and let you decide with real numbers on the table.

FAQs - Window Replacement in Delray Beach
No, not by code. Homes west of I-95 in Delray Beach are outside the wind-borne debris region, so impact-rated glass is not a Florida Building Code requirement. But many insurance carriers now require it anyway, and the cost difference is often offset by premium reductions. Call (754) 238-2201 and ask us to quote both paths side by side on paper.
Seal failure. When a home sits vacant from May through October with the air conditioning off, interior humidity climbs. That moisture works its way into the insulated glass unit and once the seal fails, the fog is permanent. The unit needs replacement, not cleaning. In Delray Beach’s snowbird communities, this is the single most common window issue we see every fall. Call (754) 238-2201 to schedule a free estimate and we’ll tell you honestly whether a repair or replacement makes sense.
No. The Delray Beach Historic Preservation Board requires a pre-permit meeting with the Historic Preservation Planner before any window replacement. Impact-rated windows must replicate original lite patterns and frame dimensions exactly. Standard vinyl replacement units are rejected outright. You need narrow-profile aluminum or fiberglass impact windows in period configurations, which most contractors don’t stock or fabricate. We do. Call (754) 238-2201 and ask for Dale’s team on historic window work.
A compliant quote for a Delray Beach condo includes the permit, the impact rating documentation, flashing details, and the specific manufacturer line and model being installed. Cheap quotes often omit the permit, skip the flashing, or swap in a non-impact unit to hit a lower number. That savings disappears the first time a storm test comes or the condo association reviews the work. Fixed pricing with no change orders is the standard. Call (754) 238-2201 for a line-item quote you can read before you sign.
Documented wind-load compliance is the difference between a settled claim and a denied one. If your barrier island home’s windows were replaced without a permit or without impact-rated glass, the insurer can argue the failure was not covered. Our Keystone Standard registers both manufacturer warranty layers in writing and leaves you with paperwork that proves compliance. After the storm, when your neighbor is fighting their carrier, you’ll be pulling up installation records and moving on. Call (754) 238-2201 for a free estimate and ask us to include permit and compliance documentation in the quote.
