AfterFast, Reliable Custom & Geometric Windows Across Delray Beach
Custom and geometric window replacement in Delray Beach typically runs $2,500 to $5,000 per opening, installed, and most jobs take four to six weeks from order to installation because the units are fabricated to your exact rough opening. If your home sits in the 33483 ZIP between Atlantic Avenue and the Intracoastal, expect the quote to include impact-rated glazing as a code requirement, not an upgrade. Call (561) 816-5648 and Ed Winslow will send a crew that knows Delray Beach’s housing stock, its wind zone, and what Palm Beach County inspectors look for when a jalousie window comes out and a custom geometric unit goes in.
We are Custom & Geometric Windows specialists, not a general handyman service that occasionally hangs a window. Ed Winslow founded this company in 2011, and his name is on the door and on every job we do across Delray Beach, from the condo towers near Gulfstream Park to the CBS ranch homes west of North Federal Highway.
Key Takeaways
- Custom geometric impact windows in Delray Beach: $2,500-$5,000 per opening, installed and permitted.
- Every replacement window in Delray Beach must be impact-rated or paired with approved protection; this is Palm Beach County code, not an upsell.
- Salt-laden air from the Atlantic and Intracoastal corrodes aluminum frames and jalousie hardware in as little as 10 years here.
- Winslow installs PGT, CGI, Therma-Tru, and ViewLux units with Miami-Dade NOA ratings matched to your opening’s design pressure.
- The 36500-Day Done Right Promise covers every install: if it’s not done right, Ed makes it right.
Why Winslow Windows & Doors Is Delray Beach’s Preferred Custom & Geometric Windows Company
We opened our doors in 2011 and have been answering calls from Delray Beach homeowners ever since. When you call (561) 816-5648, a live person picks up. Not a voicemail loop, not a call center in another state. Ed owns the company, Ed publishes his address and license number, and Ed’s crews show up in uniform with background checks already done and their names on the work order before the truck pulls up.
Delray Beach is not a generic South Florida suburb. The 33483 ZIP runs from the Atlantic on one side to the Intracoastal Waterway just blocks inland on the other, which means the salt air gets every property, not just oceanfront condos. We factor that into every estimate because it changes the hardware, the flashing, and sometimes the framing plan. Homeowners here have been burned by vague estimates and no-show crews. We answer that with upfront pricing, a written line-item quote, and a free second opinion on anyone else’s written estimate.
Our Custom & Geometric Windows Services in Delray Beach
Custom Impact Windows
You cannot put a standard production window into a 1960s CBS home near Carver High School and expect it to hold. The masonry rough openings were framed for thin single-pane sashes, not a large-missile-rated laminated unit. We measure the opening, assess the sill and lintel, then order the impact window to fit the wall, not the other way around. Every unit carries a Miami-Dade NOA or Florida Product Approval matched to the design pressure at that elevation on your house.
Geometric & Shaped Windows
Triangles, trapezoids, pentagons, circles, ovals. These are not stock items. Each one is fabricated from your exact measurements, and in Delray Beach each one must also meet Palm Beach County’s wind-borne debris requirements. We anchor a custom PGT trapezoid into a rebuilt block sill the same way we’d anchor a rectangle: re-flashed, sealed against salt spray, and inspected before the first coat of paint.
Arched & Curved Windows
Arched openings are beautiful and they are also where Delray Beach’s salt air and UV do the most damage. The original caulk hardens, cracks, and lets wind-driven rain behind the flashing. Over years the block wall behind the stucco stays damp and begins to spall. We rebuild the sill and lintel when we find this, which removes the failure point instead of caulking over it. Curved and arched units from Mr-Glass or PGT are ordered to your exact radius and rise.
Oversized Openings
Big glass facing the Intracoastal or the ocean has a higher design pressure rating than a small bedroom window, and the frame has to carry more weight plus the wind load. We spec every oversized opening individually. No rule-of-thumb sizing, no “one size gets an extra bracket.” The unit, the anchoring, the flashing, and the permit all match what that specific opening actually needs.

Trusted Brands We Service in Delray Beach
Winslow Windows & Doors is an authorized installer for PGT, CGI, CWS, ES Windows, ECO Window Systems, Mr-Glass, Therma-Tru, and ViewLux. For Delray Beach custom and geometric work, we order most units from PGT, Mr-Glass, and ViewLux because their fabrication lines handle the odd shapes and the impact glazing without a massive lead-time penalty. We keep common hardware and weatherstripping on the trucks so a salt-corroded latch on a Therma-Tru door does not turn into a two-week wait. Custom fabrication still runs four to six weeks; nobody fabricates a pentagon overnight.
Common Custom & Geometric Windows Problems We See in Delray Beach Homes
- Salt crystallization on aluminum frames. The constant onshore breeze deposits salt on every exposed surface. Within a decade, jalousie hardware seizes and aluminum frames pit. The glass is still fine. The operator is dead. We replace the whole unit with impact-rated glass because patching a jalousie in a wind-borne debris region is not a repair, it’s postponing a code-required swap.
- Masonry openings too shallow for impact units. CBS homes from the 1950s through 1970s, especially west of Federal Highway and along NE/SE 5th and 6th Avenues, were framed for thin single-pane sashes. A large-missile-rated impact window is nearly twice as deep. Once the wall is open, the jamb may need to be rebuilt, and that change is identified and priced before the first cut, never after.
- Failed waterproofing at arched and shaped openings. Original caulk at arches, circles, and trapezoids hardens under UV and cracks under salt. Water gets behind the flashing and soaks the block wall. We see damp masonry and spalled sills behind stucco that looks fine from the outside. The fix is re-flashing the opening to shed water the way the original never did.
- Jalousie-to-impact swaps that trigger full code upgrades. The louvered jalousie windows that are everywhere in mid-century Delray Beach ranches offer no hurricane protection and almost no energy performance. Replacing one triggers a Palm Beach County impact-compliance permit and inspection, and the inspector will look at the sill, the lintel, and the anchoring. We check those before we order the window so the inspection passes the first time.
What Custom & Geometric Windows Costs in Delray Beach
A standard impact window in Delray Beach runs $800 to $1,500 installed with permit. An impact single-hung runs $900 to $1,800. A custom geometric or shaped opening, which is what most of our Delray Beach calls are about, runs $2,500 to $5,000 per opening. Whole-home packages start around $8,000 and go past $25,000 on larger homes or those with many oversized or shaped openings.
What moves the price here: the opening count, the wind zone (Delray Beach is in Palm Beach County’s wind-borne debris region, so every unit is impact-rated), floor height (higher openings carry higher design pressures), and the frame material. A vinyl frame costs less than a thermally broken aluminum frame, but the salt air near the Intracoastal makes aluminum a smarter long-term choice in many east Delray Beach properties. We give you a free in-home measure and a written line-item quote with no change orders unless you approve them in writing first.

Florida Pays You Back
The incentives stack, and they apply to impact windows and doors installed in Delray Beach. My Safe Florida Home matching grants have gone up to $10,000 for qualifying wind-mitigation upgrades, including impact windows. Florida waives sales tax on impact-resistant windows and doors. The federal 25C energy credit applies to qualifying units: 30% of product cost, up to $600 per year. And after a wind-mitigation inspection, which runs about $75 to $150, many homeowners see their windstorm premium credit average around 25% on the wind portion of the policy. Programs and carriers set the final numbers, so we never promise a specific dollar refund. We’ll point you to the paperwork and let the state and your insurer do the math.
Impact Windows vs. Hurricane Shutters
Shutters protect the opening only while someone is home to close them and strong enough to wrestle the panels. Impact windows protect the house every hour of every day, including the August afternoon when the storm spins up while you’re at work. No panels to store, no tracks to jam, no scrambling at the last minute. One is a chore you hope you never have to do. The other is a permanent part of your house. In Delray Beach, where the wind-borne debris requirement already applies to every replacement window, choosing impact glass is the path that satisfies code without adding anything else to the wall. We do not install shutters; we install the window that makes them unnecessary.
Pricing for Custom & Geometric Windows in Delray Beach, FL
Expect a custom geometric impact window in Delray Beach to run $2,500 to $5,000 per opening, permitted and installed. That range covers the unit, the anchoring, the flashing, and the inspection. If the opening is oversized or sits on an upper floor, price moves toward the top of the range because the design pressure rating rises with elevation and the frame has to carry more wind load. If the home is a single-story CBS ranch near Hidden Lake Park with a modest trapezoid, price moves toward the bottom.
What does not change: the 36500-Day Done Right Promise, the permit pulled before work starts, and the written line-item quote you approve before we order anything. Call (561) 816-5648 for a free estimate on your exact openings.

Open the Wall and See What’s Actually There
Replacing a window in an older Delray Beach home rarely means the old unit comes out and a new one goes in. It means opening the wall and seeing what 60 years of salt air, UV, and 1960s building standards left behind. On a CBS ranch near Carver High School, our crew pulled a 1960s jalousie corner unit and found the masonry sill spalled and the lintel undersized for an impact-rated trapezoid. We rebuilt the sill, re-flashed the block opening to handle onshore salt spray, anchored a new PGT custom impact window with a Miami-Dade NOA, and passed Palm Beach County inspection without a surprise change order.
That’s the job. That’s what we do on nearly every custom geometric opening in the 33483 ZIP. The original framing was built for thin single-pane sashes. The original waterproofing was caulk that hardened years ago. The original sill was never meant to carry a large-missile-rated laminated unit. Our contracts handle this before the first cut: inspection first, allowances written into the quote for framing and sill work, and any additional discovery priced and approved in writing before we touch it. You never get a change order you did not approve.

FAQs - Custom & Geometric Windows in Delray Beach
Yes. Every replacement window and door in Delray Beach is a permit-triggering job under Palm Beach County’s adopted Florida Building Code, because the city sits in the wind-borne debris region and every replacement opening must be impact-rated or paired with approved protection. We pull the permit, we schedule the inspection, and we do not close the wall until the inspector signs off. Call (561) 816-5648 and we’ll walk you through what your specific openings will require.
We anchor into the block with the fastening schedule the unit’s Miami-Dade NOA or Florida Product Approval calls for, after we assess the sill and lintel for spalling or undersizing. Many 1960s CBS homes near North Federal Highway have masonry openings that were never built for a laminated impact unit, so we rebuild the sill and re-flash the opening to shed salt-laden rain. The anchoring is tested by the inspector, not by our say-so. Call (561) 816-5648 for an exact quote on your openings.
Yes, compared to the jalousie or single-pane aluminum window it replaces. Impact-rated laminated units include low-E coatings and often a second layer of glass that blocks far more solar heat than the louvered panels found in mid-century Delray Beach homes. The federal 25C energy credit may apply to the product cost, up to $600 per year on qualifying units. Call (561) 816-5648 for a free measure and we’ll tell you what your current units are costing you.
Most Delray Beach homeowners qualify for a windstorm premium credit after a wind-mitigation inspection, which runs about $75 to $150 and documents the impact-rated openings. The average credit runs around 25% on the wind portion of the premium after the inspection is on file with your carrier. We install the windows and the inspector’s documentation comes from the wind-mitigation report, not from us. Call (561) 816-5648 for a free estimate and we’ll point you toward the inspection resources.
We stop, photograph the condition, and present you with a written line-item price to repair or rebuild the framing before we order or install anything. This is exactly why our contracts include allowances for framing and sill work. The worst outcome is a change order buried in the final bill. We never do that. The 36500-Day Done Right Promise covers the finished work; the contract covers the discovery process. Call (561) 816-5648 for a free estimate and we’ll inspect your openings before you commit to anything.
