Beachside cottages to west Delray
Impact Windows & Doors in Delray Beach, Florida
Delray Beach mixes charming older cottages, beach-area condos, and newer communities out west, and each calls for a different impact-protection conversation. We fit the product to the home, not the other way around.
Working in Delray Beach
What we see in Delray Beach homes.
Delray’s housing stock is one of the most varied on the coast: compact older homes near the Atlantic Avenue core, mid-rise condos along the beach, and larger newer construction toward the western communities. That variety is exactly why a measure-first process matters here.
For older Delray homes, openings are often out of square and sizes rarely match catalog dimensions. Because every unit we order is built to the measured opening, character homes get protection that fits cleanly instead of a forced standard size.
Delray also has designated historic districts, and if your property sits in one (or is individually designated), a Certificate of Appropriateness is required for exterior improvements and alterations. Window and door replacement is exactly that kind of work, so the COA belongs in your project plan from the start rather than turning up as a surprise between contract and install.
There is a genuinely helpful distinction in how the city handles it. For a single-family or duplex property, only the COA is reviewed. Other uses (commercial, church and the like) require both a COA and a site plan application. If you own a house or a duplex in one of the districts, your path is the shorter of the two, and we prepare the product documentation that review asks for.
Code context for Palm Beach County
This area falls within Florida’s wind-borne debris region, so glazed openings must be protected with approved impact-rated products or shutters under the Florida Building Code. We match each opening to a product with the right Florida product approval for your location and exposure.

Delray Beach questions
Asked by Delray Beach homeowners
My house is older and nothing is standard-sized. Is that a problem?
No, it’s normal here. Impact windows and doors are manufactured to the measured opening, so out-of-square or unusual sizes are handled by measuring carefully up front, which is the core of our process.
My property is in a historic district. What is the extra step?
A Certificate of Appropriateness. Delray Beach requires one for all exterior improvements and alterations to a designated historic site or property, or to any property inside a designated historic district, and replacing windows and doors is an exterior alteration. We plan for it from the start and supply the product specifications, profiles and finishes the review considers.
Does that mean a full site plan review as well?
Not for a house. The city applies the COA on its own to single-family and duplex uses; it is other uses (commercial, church and similar) that require both a COA and a site plan application. So for most homeowners in the districts, the COA is the review.
I live in a condo near the beach. Can you work with my association?
Yes. Condo projects usually involve association requirements for exterior appearance and documentation. We supply the product approvals and specs associations ask for and coordinate scheduling around building rules.
Do impact windows help with noise from busy streets?
Noticeably. Laminated impact glass damps outside noise better than the single-pane glass common in older Delray homes. It’s one of the first differences homeowners mention after installation.
How long does a typical Delray Beach project take?
It depends on the number of openings and product lead times, which we’ll confirm in writing with your quote, and on whether a historic review is involved. We don’t guarantee calendar dates we can’t control, but we do keep you updated at every stage.
