In Delray Beach, impact windows run $800 to $2,800 per window, installed — permit pulled, product approved, job finished. My whole-home packages here open starting at $1,800 installed per window for standard openings, and most average windows land around $1,400. Below is the table I price from, and the Delray-specific reasons two houses on the same street can land at opposite ends of it.
I’m Joe. I run Onel Construction LLC out of Boca Raton, one town south. Delray’s housing stock is the story here: Lake Ida’s custom homes went up from 1955 on, Tropic Isle was built around deepwater canals dredged in the 1950s, and the downtown historic districts hold cottages older than both. That’s sixty-plus years of window sizes, frame materials, and salt air — and it’s why a Delray window quote has to start with your actual openings, not a county average.
Key takeaways
- Budget $800–$2,800 for each window fully installed — a middle-of-the-road opening usually comes in close to $1,400, and standard packages are starting at $1,800 installed.
- Delray Beach is Palm Beach County — not in the High-Velocity Hurricane Zone — but every window still needs a Florida Product Approval, and your openings need rated protection to satisfy code and your insurer.
- Whole-home jobs earn $1,000 off on projects of $10,000 or more, and impact windows qualify for the My Safe Florida Home grant — up to $10,000 toward hurricane hardening.
- Once your windows are permitted and documented, wind mitigation credits may trim your homeowners premium by as much as $1,400 yearly.
- Plan on 6–8 weeks from signed contract to install day — manufacturing takes most of it.
Delray Beach window pricing — and the factors behind it
| Window type | Typical installed price |
|---|---|
| Small single-hung (bathroom, laundry, garage) | $800–$1,100 |
| Standard single-hung or horizontal roller | $1,200–$1,800 |
| Casement or large slider | $1,600–$2,200 |
| Oversized picture window or multi-panel patio slider | $2,200–$2,800 |
What drives the price:
The era of your house. Lake Ida and the neighborhoods around it were built from the 1950s through the 1980s, and many of those homes still carry original single-pane aluminum windows in openings that were framed by hand, one house at a time. Non-standard sizes and out-of-square openings take custom product and extra fitting labor — that’s real money, and it’s the single biggest reason Delray quotes spread out.
Salt air and water. Tropic Isle and the Intracoastal-side streets live in salt air year-round. It eats old aluminum frames, corrodes hardware, and rots the wood bucks behind them. When the old window comes out and the opening needs rebuilding before the new unit can anchor properly, that work belongs in the open — priced as a named line when we find it at the measure, not discovered as a surprise mid-install.
Historic-district review. If your home sits in one of Delray’s historic districts — Del Ida Park and the downtown districts — window replacement goes through the city’s historic preservation review on top of the building permit. The product has to satisfy both the approval and the district’s look. We handle that paperwork as part of the job; it adds review time, and choosing product that clears it the first time is part of pricing the job right.
Size and style. Glass prices by the square foot. Delray’s waterfront and pool homes run big sliders and picture glass; a twelve-foot patio opening is a different animal from a bedroom window, and the table above shows it.
How many windows. Permits, crew, and inspections are fixed costs on every job. Spread across four windows they load each one; spread across twenty, the per-window price drops. Whole-home quotes beat per-window quotes on math alone.
Building permits and code requirements in Delray Beach
Yes, I pull the permit — every job, in Onel’s name, through the City of Delray Beach Development Services Building Division, which runs permit submissions electronically. Window replacement is permitted work in Delray, and the product has to carry a Florida Product Approval for the wind pressures at your address.
Delray is not in the High-Velocity Hurricane Zone — that designation covers Broward and Miami-Dade. What Delray does sit in is Florida’s wind-borne debris region, which is why your openings need rated protection in the first place: impact glass or approved shutters. The permit and final inspection are the documentation your insurance carrier asks for when the wind mitigation credit gets calculated — permitted, approved, inspected is what the credit is paid on.
Working with Onel in Delray Beach: six steps from text to sign-off
- Start with photos — Text the word WINDOWS to (561) 462-9293 — send two wide photos of your space from different angles and tell us what you want done. We’ll start your estimate right from the photos, and the free in-home measure locks your exact written price.
- Free in-home measure — I measure every opening myself, check the frames and bucks behind the trim, and confirm product approvals with you.
- A line-by-line written quote — each opening priced separately, the product spelled out by name, its approval noted, and the total guaranteed in writing across a 14-day window.
- Permit pulled — in Onel’s name with the City of Delray Beach, before work starts; historic-district review handled in the same pass where it applies.
- Installation day — after the factory-built units land (budget an honest 6–8 weeks for manufacturing), we remove the old windows opening by opening, then seat each new one, anchor it to the approved fastening schedule, seal it, and finish the trim. A typical Delray home wraps up within a day or two.
- Sign-off and walkthrough — once the city inspector signs off, I operate each window alongside you and hand over the approval documents your insurance company needs.
Warranty
Every window and material I install carries its full manufacturer’s warranty — and I register it for you, in your name, so your coverage paperwork is filed and yours from day one. If a unit ever has a product issue, you hold the documentation the manufacturer asks for, and I’ll walk you through exactly what to send them. Text WINDOWS to (561) 462-9293 and the registration starts with the job.
Ways Delray Beach homeowners offset the cost of new windows
Insurance. Wind mitigation credits for protected openings may reduce a Delray homeowners premium by up to $1,400 a year once impact windows go in. Your insurer decides how large the credit is — payment rests on windows that are permitted, approved, and documented, which is the package delivered on every Onel job.
Grant money. Through My Safe Florida Home, hurricane-hardening work can qualify for up to $10,000, and replacing windows with impact units is an eligible project. Whether you qualify and whether funds remain are calls the program makes; at the measure I will compare your scope with its rules before any money goes out.
Financing. Through Acorn Finance: payments from $120/month on smaller jobs, typical projects in the low $200s–$300s/month, at rates as low as 4.49% APR with approved credit. And every window job of $10,000 or more carries $1,000 off on projects of $10,000 or more.

Common Delray Beach questions about impact windows
Delray isn’t in the hurricane zone I hear about — do I still need impact-rated windows?
You need rated opening protection, yes. Palm Beach County isn’t in the High-Velocity Hurricane Zone, but it is in Florida’s wind-borne debris region, so every window needs a Florida Product Approval — and impact glass is the option that protects the opening full-time, with no shutters to put up before a storm. Your insurer’s wind mitigation credit is calculated on the same documentation. The measure confirms the right product for your address — text a photo and the word WINDOWS to (561) 462-9293 and we’ll start there.
My house is in a Delray historic district. Can I still replace the windows?
Yes — historic-district homes replace windows regularly; the job just carries the city’s historic preservation review alongside the building permit, and the product has to fit the district’s requirements as well as the wind code. I handle both tracks in one permit pass. Send a photo of the house and the windows to (561) 462-9293 with the word WINDOWS and I’ll tell you exactly what your street requires.
Why is my neighbor’s quote so different from mine?
Usually the era of the house. A 1970s Lake Ida ranch with standard openings prices differently from a Tropic Isle home with oversized sliders and salt-air damage behind the frames. Neither quote is wrong — they’re different openings. Your free measure puts your actual windows in writing, line by line.
How much is a full house of impact windows in Delray Beach?
At $800–$2,800 a window installed, a typical 12-to-18-window Delray home lands in the mid five figures, with most average windows around $1,400 — and whole-home jobs carry $1,000 off on projects of $10,000 or more. The free measure turns the range into your exact number, in writing.
Will impact windows lower my Delray Beach insurance bill?
Yes — wind mitigation credits tied to protected openings can shave up to $1,400 a year from a Delray premium. How large your reduction ends up is decided by your insurer. What you receive from us is the permitted, fully documented installation those credits are figured on, plus the approval papers in your hand when we walk the house together.
Do I need HOA or condo approval to replace windows with impact windows?
In many Delray communities, yes — and that sign-off sits beside the city permit, not in place of it. Condo buildings along A1A and the Intracoastal, and gated HOAs west of Congress, usually want the product, frame color, and configuration approved by the association before exterior work begins. I assemble that paperwork for your board while the City of Delray Beach Development Services Building Division processes the building permit, so the association’s calendar and the city’s run together instead of one waiting on the other.
Impact windows vs hurricane shutters: which is better?
For a Delray house, impact glass does its job every hour of the year, whereas shutters protect only after somebody hauls them out and hangs them ahead of a storm. Delray sits in Florida’s wind-borne debris region, so the opening needs rated protection either way — impact units satisfy that with a Florida Product Approval, stay ready through hurricane season without any setup, and give you daylight and a view while a storm passes. Shutters cost less up front per opening; whole-home impact packages, starting at $1,800 installed for standard openings, buy you permanent protection plus the documented installation insurers credit.
What are the signs that window seals have failed?
Fog or a milky haze trapped between the panes is the clearest tell — moisture has gotten inside a unit that left the factory sealed. Around Delray you will also see the supporting evidence: drafts you can feel on a still day, sashes that stick or rattle, and hardware pitting from salt air in Tropic Isle and the streets east of the Intracoastal. One failed seal does not force a whole-house project, but it does mean that unit has lost the insulation it was built with; at the free measure I check every opening and tell you which ones are failing and which are still sound.
How do I verify an impact window’s approval number?
Ask for the Florida Product Approval number attached to the exact product being quoted, then match that number against the state’s product approval listing — the entry spells out the sizes and design pressures the unit is approved for. For a Delray address, the approval has to cover the pressure your home’s exposure calls for, and that same approval documentation goes into the permit packet submitted electronically to the Development Services Building Division. Before I order anything, we review the approval for each of your openings together, and the paperwork ends up in your hands at the walkthrough.
How do I get an exact price?
Send (561) 462-9293 a text with WINDOWS and one broad photograph of the windows you want changed. From that picture I build a per-window estimate; after that I visit, measure each opening myself, and fix your total in a written quote. Free estimate. $1,000 off on projects of $10,000 or more.
