What sets Delray Beach apart is the salt. Homes east of Federal Highway sit close enough to the Atlantic that standard aluminum frames and mild-steel fasteners start pitting within seven years. Blocks west of I-95 deal with a different humidity profile entirely. The same window opening can need a different finish spec and design pressure depending on which side of the Intracoastal you’re on. We know which spec goes where because we’ve replaced the ones that got it wrong.
Why Juniper Windows & Doors Is Delray Beach’s Preferred Window Installation Company
Delray Beach homeowners have a low tolerance for vague answers, and honestly, so do we. Every job we quote gets a written price before a single screw turns. That’s the Juniper standard, and it’s backed by the 365-Day Done Right Promise: if the work isn’t right, we make it right, parts and labor, in writing, for a full year. Sean Mackey, who leads our team, was raised on the idea that a handshake matters but a written number matters more.
Our crews know the Delray Beach housing stock: the 1950s and 60s ranches in Lake Ida, the newer builds off Atlantic Avenue west of Congress, the historic homes in the Marina District where original openings are never square. We carry the product lines that solve local problems – PGT for impact-rated coastal protection, CGI for heavy design-pressure openings, ES Windows for clean sightlines on mid-century moderns. Background-checked, uniformed techs on every job. Live phone answer, 24/7.
The Relay Visibility Guarantee is standard on every project: a live arrival time, before-and-after photos, and a digital invoice you can pay from a link. Founder-led since 2001, Juniper is part of the Relay Home Co. family. We’re not a general contractor dabbling in windows. Window replacement, window installation, and door replacement is all we do.
Picture Window in Delray Beach
A picture window in Delray Beach is one of the smartest investments for maximizing a view of the Intracoastal or a backyard garden – but it has to be specced for what the ocean air will throw at it. The job involves removing the old fixed unit (or cutting a new rough opening in some cases), setting a large fixed pane, and weather-sealing every jamb and sill against wind-driven rain. In Delray Beach, a picture window installation typically runs $900 to $1,800 for an impact-rated unit, with larger custom openings pushing $2,500 to $5,000.
Coastal spec matters, even for glass that never opens
Homeowners assume fixed windows have fewer failure points because there’s no moving hardware. But the frame material still has to survive. A powder-coated aluminum frame with stainless anchors will last decades near the beach. A standard anodized frame with mild-steel fasteners starts to pit and bind within seven to ten years. We spec marine-grade finishes on every Delray Beach picture window east of I-95.
When a picture window makes sense in Delray Beach
Small ranch homes in areas like Tropic Isles or the neighborhoods off Linton Boulevard benefit from a single large fixed pane that floods a living room with light without the cost of a full bay projection. Newer builds near Atlantic Avenue often use picture windows to frame a pool or courtyard view. The key is low-E glass: it cuts UV damage on furniture and keeps the direct South Florida sun from turning a west-facing room into an oven.
Bay Window Installation in Delray Beach
Bay window installation in Delray Beach adds floor space and a wider sightline, but the structural load and the water-sealing detail are where we see most failures. A bay window projects outward from the house, which means the roof or overhang above it has to be detailed correctly or wind-driven rain will find its way into the wall cavity behind it. In Delray Beach, bay window installation typically runs $2,500 to $5,000 for a complete three-unit assembly, including structural support and exterior sealing. Larger custom bays with impact glazing can exceed $5,000 depending on the opening.
Structure below the glass
A bay window is not a cosmetic bolt-on. It needs a knee brace or cable support system under the projection, and the sill pan has to be sloped and flashed so water drains away from the house, not into it. Homes in the older sections of Delray Beach – the Marina Historic District, the streets around Old School Square – often have original wood framing that’s been patched and repatched. We inspect every opening before we quote so the written price includes the real structural work, not a surprise change order later.
Impact-rated bays for coastal Delray Beach
If your home sits east of Federal Highway, your bay window needs to meet the same design pressure as every other opening on that wall. That means impact-rated glass, stainless fasteners, and a frame finish that can handle salt air without pitting. We install PGT and CGI bay configurations for Delray Beach homes, matched to the Florida Product Approval for your specific address. You’ll have a written line-item for every component: glazing, fasteners, flashing, finish.
Trusted Brands We Service in Delray Beach
We’re a windows-and-doors specialist, which means we stock and install real product lines that carry Florida Product Approval and, where needed, Miami-Dade NOA ratings. CGI and CWS are our go-to brands for heavy coastal openings in Delray Beach. For clean, modern sightlines on single-family homes and condos, we specify ES Windows. The brand you get depends on what the opening demands – design pressure, wind zone, frame finish – not what we happen to have on the truck. We service every brand we install, and we keep replacement parts circulating for Delray Beach customers so a warranty replacement doesn’t stretch into weeks.
Common Window Installation Problems We See in Delray Beach Homes
- Mild-steel fasteners and standard aluminum frames corroding in salt air. We see sash binding and water intrusion in homes as little as half a mile from the ocean. The fix is stainless steel anchors and marine-grade finishes on every opening that faces the salt breeze.
- Builder-grade units installed without the right Florida Product Approval for the address. These get flagged at inspection or denied for wind mitigation credits. Delray Beach spans multiple wind zones, and a window specced for an inland address can fail the review for a home near the Intracoastal.
- Poorly sealed jambs and sill pans leaking during coastal storms. Wind-driven rain in a Delray Beach summer squall will find an unsealed jamb in minutes. We use sloped sill pans and full jamb flashing on every installation to keep water outside where it belongs.
- Condensation and haze between panes. The salt air in Delray Beach accelerates seal failure on older insulated glass units. Once moisture gets between the panes, the window’s insulating value is gone and it needs full replacement, not a repair.
Pricing for Window Installation in Delray Beach, FL
Impact windows in Delray Beach run $800 to $1,500 per window installed on average. Impact single-hung units land between $900 and $1,800. Large or custom openings, like a full bay or a big picture window, run $2,500 to $5,000. Whole-home packages start around $8,000 and go to $25,000 or more depending on the opening count and the wind zone. Paint and finish upgrades, custom colors, and higher design pressure ratings all move the number. The quote we give you is the price you pay. Written, line-itemed, no change orders. Call (682) 281-2168 and we’ll come measure the openings and hand you the number on paper.
What Window Installation Costs in Delray Beach
Here’s the honest math. A standard impact window in Delray Beach runs $800 to $1,500 installed. Single-hung impact units are $900 to $1,800. A large picture window or bay assembly runs $2,500 to $5,000. Whole-home packages fall between $8,000 and $25,000+, and the spread comes down to three things: how many openings, what design pressure the address requires, and what finish the frame needs. East of Federal Highway, expect the marine-grade finish and stainless fasteners to add about 15-20% over the inland spec. That’s not markup. That’s the cost of hardware that won’t pit in a decade.
Floor height matters too. A second-story opening needs a higher design pressure rating than a ground-floor unit on the same house. Frame material changes the number: aluminum is lighter and budget-friendlier but needs the right finish; vinyl handles the salt fine but can’t hit the highest pressure ratings. Every quote we give is in writing, and the free in-home measure is the only way to get an exact number. Call (682) 281-2168 to schedule yours.
Florida Pays You Back
Delray Beach homeowners have three ways to offset the cost of impact windows. The My Safe Florida Home program offers matching grants up to $10,000 for qualifying wind-mitigation upgrades. Florida’s sales-tax exemption applies to impact-resistant windows and doors. And the federal 25C energy credit returns 30% of the product cost, up to $600 per year, on qualifying efficiency units. Beyond the rebates, a wind mitigation inspection – typically $75 to $150 in Delray Beach – can unlock windstorm-premium credits averaging around 25% on the windstorm portion of your policy. Programs and carriers set final numbers, so we’ll point you to the right paperwork and let them confirm eligibility. Permanent impact windows also beat shutters: no panels to haul out before a storm, and the protection is always in place, not sitting in a garage.

FAQs About Window Installation in Delray Beach
No, you don’t need every opening impact-rated to receive a windstorm premium credit, but the openings that are protected will be listed on your wind mitigation inspection report and credited accordingly. For full protection, especially east of Federal Highway, impact glazing on every opening is the standard. Give us a call at (682) 281-2168 and we’ll help you understand which openings deliver the most credit for your specific policy.
Near the Intracoastal and oceanfront, windows typically need a design pressure rating of +/-60 to +/-80 PSF or higher depending on the building’s height and exposure. Inland sections of Delray Beach, such as areas west of Jog Road, usually require +/-40 to +/-55 PSF. The exact number comes from your address and the opening location on the house. We pull the Florida Product Approval for each unit to match.
We install PGT, CGI, CWS, and ES Windows in Delray Beach, all of which offer Florida Product Approval ratings and, for our coastal openings, Miami-Dade NOA configurations. The brand we recommend depends on the design pressure needed, the frame finish required, and the sightlines you want. We’ll show you the options in writing before you commit.
Low-E impact glass can reduce the solar heat coming through your windows by roughly 30-50% compared to clear glass, which in Delray Beach’s 10-month cooling season takes real dollars off your FPL bill. The exact savings depend on your home’s orientation, shading, and how many openings you replace. We’ll walk you through the Solar Heat Gain Coefficient on each unit we quote, in plain language.
Bay windows here need special detailing because they project outward and catch wind-driven rain from three sides, not one. The roof or eave above the bay has to shed water correctly, the sill pan beneath must be sloped and flashed, and the fasteners securing the projection have to be corrosion-resistant. Skip the detailing and the bay becomes a leak point within a couple of storm seasons. Call (682) 281-2168 for an exact quote – estimates are free.
