Custom Windows & Doors in Delray Beach - Free In-Home Measure, Written Price

Fast, Reliable Custom Windows & Doors Across Delray Beach

Custom window and door work in Delray Beach runs $1,800 to $9,500 per opening depending on size, material, and whether the unit needs impact-rated glass to meet Palm Beach County wind-load codes. Most custom shape windows that we install along the coast run $2,200 to $4,800 per unit, and a full oversized sliding glass door retrofit for an A1A condo typically lands between $5,500 and $11,000. Those are real numbers from this market, not national averages. If you’re replacing jalousies on a 1960s CBS home near Lake Ida or swapping a swollen aluminum slider on a condominium tower off A1A, the work has to be done by a crew that knows this city’s housing stock, its salt air, and its permit process. Call (813) 320-9346 and we’ll walk the property, take measurements twice, and put a written quote in your hand.

What we’ve learned in this city is that nobody gets a clean, simple window swap here. The homes are too old, the exposure too brutal, and the building department too particular about wind ratings. Delray Beach sits between the Atlantic and the Intracoastal Waterway, so every property gets salt spray from two directions. Frames corrode. Hardware swells. Seals fail. What starts as “we just want a new window” turns into reframing a rough opening that was never flashed properly in the first place. That’s the work, and we do it straight.

Before any figure is committed to paper, we inspect. We pull the trim. We look at what’s behind the old frame. Then we write allowances for the likely repairs into the contract, and any surprise that shows up after the wall comes open gets priced and approved in writing before we touch it. No change order dropped on you at the end. No “we didn’t see that coming” phone call. We find it first, we tell you what it costs, you sign, and only then do we proceed. That’s the only way to quote window work honestly in Delray Beach.

Key takeaways:

• Custom window replacement in Delray Beach averages $1,800 to $9,500 per opening depending on scope and impact rating.
• Older homes here need code-triggered upgrades once walls come open: reframing, flashing, and wind-mitigation documentation.
• Our crews inspect first, write allowances into the contract, and price any hidden damage in writing before proceeding.
• Historic districts like Old School Square require Design Review Board and Historic Preservation Board sign-off on window profiles and materials.
• A live person answers the phone at (813) 320-9346, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

Why TruePane Windows & Doors Is Delray Beach’s Preferred Custom Windows & Doors Company

TruePane Windows & Doors was founded in 2008 by second-generation glazier Dale Kessler, and the company carries more than years of accumulated craft experience through its leadership. We are not a franchise, not an acquisition play, and not a crew that disappears after a season. We hire local, train apprentices into journeymen, and run our Delray Beach jobs with background-checked, uniformed technicians who measure every opening twice before ordering anything. The crews you see here are the same ones who will answer the phone if a seal fogs or a door binds three years from now, because we plan to be in town in thirty years. That’s not a slogan. It’s how we’ve run the company since the founding rule went on Dale’s whiteboard: if the pane is not true, the job is not done.

Every Delray Beach job we put in carries the 90-Day Done Right Promise and The Keystone Standard. That means both layers of the manufacturer warranty get registered in writing, with the durations stated on the paperwork, before the truck leaves your driveway. We don’t hand you a pile of unregistered forms and hope you figure it out. We don’t tell you the warranty runs ten years and then produce a piece of paper that says something else. It’s written out, it’s specific, and we stand behind it.

Our Custom Windows & Doors Services in Delray Beach

This page covers the four custom window and door specialties most requested by Delray Beach homeowners and condo boards. Each one has its own local quirks, and we address them below. If you’re not sure which category your project falls into, call (813) 320-9346 and describe what you have. We’ll tell you straight what’s involved.

Custom Shape Windows

Old School Square, Del Ida Park, and the historic stretch along Swinton Avenue are full of CBS homes with architectural features that don’t fit a stock vinyl window. Arched transoms, eyebrow windows, trapezoid openings, hexagon accents. We fabricate and install custom shape windows that match the original profile while carrying modern impact-rated laminated glass and low-E coatings. In the historic districts, the Delray Beach Historic Preservation Board reviews replacement window profiles and materials, so we work within their approved design palette. That usually means keeping the original muntin pattern or matching the original frame material, even when the glass itself gets a full impact upgrade. We’ve done enough of these to know what the board will approve on the first submittal and what will get kicked back.

Commercial Storefront Glazing

Delray Beach’s retail corridors along Atlantic Avenue and south on Federal Highway include storefronts that have been through hurricanes, salt seasons, and decades of sun. Cracked or delaminating storefront glass is a liability and a visual discount on the business. We replace commercial storefront glazing with code-compliant systems engineered for Delray Beach’s wind zone, and we schedule the work around business hours where possible. For property managers running multiple retail storefronts in one strip, we can quote the whole elevation at once so you get a straight per-lin-foot price rather than a patchwork of single-opening bills.

Curtain Wall Systems

The condo towers along A1A and the Intracoastal in Delray Beach are increasingly moving from original aluminum single-pane systems to modern curtain wall assemblies. These are building-wide projects, not unit-by-unit jobs. We work with condo boards and property managers on the full scope: engineering review, wind-load documentation, staged installation so occupied units stay habitable, and warranty registration for the entire elevation. A curtain wall replacement on an A1A tower is a seven-figure project, and the boards that run these buildings know it. We quote it line by line, schedule it in phases, and put everything in writing. No handshake agreements on a job this size.

Architectural Grilles & SDLs

Simulated divided lites (SDLs) and architectural grilles are the difference between a window that looks like a stock product and a window that looks like it was built for the house. Delray Beach’s historic review process often requires grille patterns that match the original window era, even when the glass behind them is modern impact-rated insulated glass. We install SDLs in patterns that satisfy the Historic Preservation Board and hold up to the salt air. Cheap applied grilles peel and yellow within a few seasons along the coast. We use materials and adhesives that withstand the double-salt exposure from the ocean and the Intracoastal.

Oversized Glass Panels

When a condo owner on A1A replaces a swollen aluminum sliding glass door that hasn’t opened properly in a decade, the replacement is usually a single oversized panel of impact-rated laminated glass with a stainless track and new rollers. These panels run bigger and heavier than anything in an inland single-family home, and they need precise measurement and careful setting. Our crews handle oversized glass on a regular basis up and down the A1A corridor, so we know the building types, the freight elevator limitations, and the wind-load requirements before we quote.

Trusted Brands We Service in Delray Beach

We’re an authorized installer for more than a dozen manufacturer lines, and for Delray Beach customers we most often quote side by side from ES Windows, Andersen, and PGT, matched against your budget and your building’s structural requirements. ES Windows gets specified a lot in Delray Beach because their impact-rated aluminum lines handle the coastal corrosion environment well. Andersen and PGT both offer lines that pass the 170+ mph wind-pressure requirements Palm Beach County applies to coastal construction. When we quote, we put the manufacturer lines next to each other on paper, with each warranty duration stated, so you see exactly what you’re buying. We also carry local parts stock for common Delray Beach door hardware failures: rollers for older condo sliders, replacement gaskets for corroded aluminum frames, and latch sets that have seized from salt exposure. Fast turnaround on parts means fewer days with a door that won’t close.

If you already have a trusted manufacturer in mind, tell us. We work with what you want, not what we happen to have on the truck.

Common Custom Windows & Doors Problems We See in Delray Beach Homes

• Fused-shut original aluminum sliding doors on A1A condos. The aluminum frames swell from decades of salt corrosion, and the rollers seize. Residents can’t open the door to the balcony, which is a serious problem during an evacuation. We replace the entire frame, track, and roller assembly with modern impact-rated components, not a patch job on the existing corroded unit.
• Seal failure and constant fogging in old single-pane windows along the Intracoastal. The humidity and salt air break down EPDM seals faster here than almost anywhere else in Palm Beach County. Once the seal fails, the insulating gas leaks out and the window fogs permanently. Replacement with argon-filled insulated glass solves it, and we register both warranty layers so the glass is covered if it happens again.
• Hidden rot in wood window jambs in 1950s Lake Ida homes. The homes look solid from the outside, but the original wood jambs have been absorbing humid salt air for seventy years. We find rot only after pulling the frame. That’s why our quotes include a written allowance for jamb repair or replacement, so the number we give you is the number you pay, not a starting point.
• Non-compliant window sill heights in 1980s condo units. When a permit gets pulled for window replacement, the inspector may flag sill heights that don’t meet today’s egress or fall-protection codes. That triggers a full reframe. We spot this during our pre-quote inspection and fold it into the original number, not a surprised afterthought once the wall is open.
