What Impact Windows Cost in Delray Beach, FL

Unit prices used for Delray Beach

Why a Delray Beach price starts with a 1984 house near 170 mph

Two local facts shape almost every Delray Beach window budget. The first is age. The Census puts the median Delray Beach home at 1984, and about 78% of units were built before 2000. Most homes went up before the statewide Florida Building Code took effect in 2002, with its wind-borne debris rules.

The second is wind. Delray Beach is not in the High-Velocity Hurricane Zone, which the code limits to Miami-Dade and Broward. But all of Palm Beach County is in the wind-borne debris region, so replaced windows and doors need impact-rated glass or approved shutters.

Palm Beach County's posted wind map says to use 170 mph for the eastern coastal strip, which includes Delray Beach. On the statewide map behind the current code, the city falls between the 160 and 170 mph lines. Your exact number comes from the county's parcel wind-speed tool.

Verified factory prices for Delray Beach window sizes

See the tables below. They show ESW and Mr. Glass prices for single-hung windows, horizontal rollers, fixed picture windows and sliding glass doors in common sizes. Every price is labeled Verified because it comes from our factory pricing snapshot, checked on October 20, 2026.

Prices are for the product only, in white with clear laminated glass, before sales tax, installation, permit and delivery. A written quote confirms your final price.

For single-hung and roller windows, both brands use the same glass make-up. For fixed windows and sliding doors the glass differs, so that comparison is not exactly equal.

Four Delray Beach projects, priced from the tables

Delray Beach is a mixed city. About 38% of homes are single-family detached, about 13% are attached villas and townhomes, and about 30% are in buildings with 10 or more units. The scenarios below match those home types, and the page adds up each one from the verified tables. Your own count and sizes will move the total.

What changes the price in Delray Beach

• No HVHZ requirement. Outside the HVHZ, a product with a Florida Product Approval (FL number) qualifies; you do not need a Miami-Dade NOA. The approval must cover your size and configuration.
• Distance from the ocean. Homes near the beach sit closest to the 170 mph line. Higher design wind speed can call for higher design-pressure ratings on large openings.
• Opening size. Price climbs with size in every table.
• Window type. A roller and a fixed window of similar area are priced differently.
• Glass. The tables price clear laminated glass. In historic districts, the city's board has limited reflective and low-e glass on approved jobs.
• Sliding doors. Sliders are the largest line in each scenario. One extra door often moves a total more than several small windows.
• Color and muntins. The tables show white frames with no grids. A historic approval or condo spec may require something else.
• In stock vs factory order. Standard sizes may be in stock. Custom factory orders take 4–8 weeks.

Historic districts and condo buildings change the spec, and the price

Delray Beach has five locally designated historic districts: Old School Square, Del-Ida Park, West Settlers, Nassau Park and Marina. In these districts, replacing windows or doors needs a Certificate of Appropriateness from the Historic Preservation Board or city staff, plus a permit acknowledgement form with a windows section. Reviewers look at trim, material, frame size and shape, and color.

The board means it. It approved new windows at 321 NW First Avenue in Old School Square with limits on reflective and low-e glass. In another case, it set conditions after installed windows came in white, without the navy frames and muntins that were approved. Price the approved spec, not the white standard in our tables.

Condo owners face a different trigger. Under Florida Statute 553.899, Delray Beach condo and co-op buildings of three or more stories need a milestone inspection by December 31 of the year they turn 30, or 25 if within 3 miles of the coastline. Repairs need city permits. Ask your association for its window spec first.

Beach, Intracoastal or west of I-95: why your location matters

Delray Beach has about 3 miles of Atlantic beachfront, with the Intracoastal Waterway between the barrier island and downtown. The city warns that its coastal geography makes it vulnerable to tidal flooding, storm surge and heavy rain. Check your zone on the FEMA Flood Map Service Center.

What the Delray Beach price tables do not include

• Sales tax, delivery and installation
• Removal and disposal of old windows
• City of Delray Beach permit fees and any engineering
• Colors other than white, grids, tinted or low-e glass
• Bucks, mullions and stucco or trim repair
• Wind mitigation inspection (form OIR-B1-1802), which can document opening protection for your insurer

From price table to permit in Delray Beach

1. Measure every opening. List the width, height and type of each window and door, and note which face the ocean or Intracoastal.
2. Look up wind speed and flood zone. Use Palm Beach County's parcel wind-speed tool and the FEMA Flood Map Service Center.
3. Check historic or association rules. In a historic district, plan for a Certificate of Appropriateness first. Condo and villa owners should get the association's window spec.
4. Match approved products. Pick ESW, Mr. Glass or PGT products whose Florida Product Approval covers each size and design pressure.
5. File on Delray Beach eServices. The Building Division takes permits online through eServices, which replaced ePlans in June 2025. Window jobs are not on the city's three-day express list, so allow for review.
6. Notice of Commencement, install, inspect. Florida law requires a recorded Notice of Commencement on file before the first inspection when the contract is above the state threshold. Request inspections through eServices, then get a wind mitigation inspection on form OIR-B1-1802.

Why Delray Beach owners stop relying on shutters

Delray Beach has taken direct or near-direct hurricane hits in 1928, 1947, 1949, 1964, 1965, 1979, 1992, 1999, 2004 and 2005, among others. After Wilma in 2005, a Florida DEP report said south-county Delray Beach and Boynton Beach saw more extensive wind damage than the rest of the county.

Shutters also have to come down. Delray Beach Fire Rescue urges removing them as soon as a storm passes, because closed shutters trap smoke and heat. Impact glass stays in place.
