We know Delray Beach windows because we see them every week. From 1920s Craftsman cottages off Swinton Avenue to Mediterranean-revival villas west of I-95, each home has its own set of problems, and we’ve handled just about all of them. Our Window Repair in Delray Beach team lives with the same salt air, humidity, and hurricane seasons you do, so we spec hardware and glass that actually holds up here, not hardware that works in a catalog and fails on the barrier island.
Why Hale Windows & Doors Is Delray Beach’s Preferred Window Repair Company
Founded in 2009, Hale Windows & Doors is independently owned and operated, part of the Threshold Group family of home-service brands. We’re not a franchise or a big-box installer. We send a named, photo-badged technician to every Delray Beach job, so you know exactly who is walking up your driveway before the knock. Spencer Odell runs the team, and he’s built the business around one idea: put it in writing, do it right, and stand behind the work.
Our repair work carries a written guarantee. If the repair fails, the second visit is free. Every job is quoted in writing before work begins, so the number you approve is the number you pay. Delray Beach homeowners in neighborhoods like Lake Ida, Seagate, and Tropic Isle regularly tell us the thing they valued most was knowing the price and the person before we started. We also carry the 365-Day Done Right Promise: if the work isn’t right, we make it right, no argument needed. Call (252) 675-6980 for a free estimate.
Window Frame Repair in Delray Beach
Window Frame Repair in Delray Beach often means more than swapping glass; it means inspecting the framing, flashing, and rough opening that hold the unit in place. In older homes east of Swinton Avenue, we routinely find cracked jamb framing, rot at the sill, or plaster walls that were never designed for modern impact-rated units. Hale Windows & Doors quotes frame repair with an allowance written into the contract, so if we open the wall and find more damage than expected, you approve the added scope in writing before we proceed. A typical frame repair in Delray Beach runs $450 to $2,800 depending on the opening, the condition of the surrounding wall, and whether the job triggers HVHZ permitting.
Rotted Sill and Jamb Repair
A window sill on the east side of a Delray Beach home takes years of driving rain and humidity before it gives out. We cut out the rot, rebuild the substrate, and re-flash the opening with marine-grade materials so water drains away from the framing instead of into it. We specify 316 stainless fasteners on any home east of Federal Highway, because standard zinc or even galvanized fasteners pit fast in salt-laden wind.
Retrofit Inserts for Non-Standard Openings
Many pre-1960 Delray Beach homes have non-standard rough openings and true divided lites that off-the-shelf replacements won’t fit. We measure each opening, order a custom retrofit insert, and install it without wrecking the existing trim or plaster. This approach keeps the original look while bringing the glazing up to Florida Product Approval standards.
Broken Window Repair in Delray Beach
Broken Window Repair in Delray Beach usually means a cracked pane from a storm, a baseball, or a security incident, and the first step is always the same: secure the opening so the home is safe and the weather stays out. We respond to broken glass across Delray Beach, including the barrier island east of the Intracoastal, with a written quote before any glass is ordered. A single clear pane replacement runs $95 to $250 on most Delray Beach homes; an impact-rated laminated pane runs $350 to $900 because of the multiple layers and the Florida Product Approval requirements.
Emergency Board-Up and Glazing
When a window blows out during a storm or a break-in, the home is exposed until the glass is replaced. We board up the opening and schedule the replacement ASAP, with fast turnaround for Delray Beach homeowners who call before noon on weekdays. The board-up is included in the repair quote, never billed as a surprise line item.
Impact Glass Retrofit for Broken Units
If the broken window is an old single-pane unit in a home built before the Florida Building Code required impact protection, this is the moment to upgrade. We write the quote for the repair and the upgrade side by side, so you decide with real numbers in front of you. No pressure, no upsell, just a clearer picture of what each path costs.
Trusted Brands We Service in Delray Beach
We install and service eight professional window and door lines: CGI, CWS, ES Windows, ECO Window Systems, PGT, Mr-Glass, Therma-Tru, and ViewLux. For Delray Beach homes in the HVHZ, we spend most days working with CGI and ES Windows because their impact-rated configurations carry the Miami-Dade NOA and Florida Product Approval numbers our code official expects to see on the permit. We also keep parts for CWS and ECO Window Systems on hand for repair work, so we’re not waiting on a distributor when a roller or sash lock fails. Our Window Repair team can match existing hardware on most brands.
Common Window Repair Problems We See in Delray Beach Homes
- Swollen wood sashes on 1920s – 1950s cottages: East of Swinton Avenue, original single-pane double-hungs absorb humidity every summer, and the sashes swell until they won’t open or close. Repair means easing the sash, repairing any cracked jamb framing, and often adding a retrofit insert that meets current HVHZ glazing rules.
- Salt-corroded hardware east of Federal Highway: Steel hinges and aluminum tracks on the barrier island pit and seize within a few years, even when they carry a hurricane rating. We replace them with 316 stainless or marine-grade hardware and use corrosion-resistant lubricants designed for coastal salt spray.
- Fogged or failed insulated glass units: Humidity gets past a broken seal, and the argon escapes. We measure the IGU, order a replacement with the correct low-E coating and design pressure rating, and install it with new glazing tape, never silicone and hope.
- Leaking windows from failed flashing: In Delray Beach’s driving rain, a window that leaks usually has flashing that delaminated or was never installed correctly. We remove the surrounding material, re-flash with marine-grade membrane, and seal the opening before water keeps reaching the framing.
What Window Repair Costs in Delray Beach
Most Delray Beach window repairs fall between $95 and $410 per window. That covers sash realignment, track and roller replacement, glass reglazing, latch and lock fixes, and weatherstripping. Frame rebuilds with rotted jamb or sill repair run from $450 to $2,800 depending on the damage and whether the opening needs re-flashing. If you’re upgrading a broken single-pane to impact-rated glazing, expect separate line items for the glazing and the install.
For full impact window replacement, the Delray Beach anchors are: impact windows run $800 to $1,500 per window installed; impact single-hung runs $900 to $1,800; large or custom openings run $2,500 to $5,000; and whole-home packages run $8,000 to $25,000 or more. What moves the price here is the opening count, wind zone, floor height above grade, and frame material. A two-story barrier-island home needs higher design pressure ratings than a single-story bungalow off Atlantic Avenue. We provide a free in-home measure and a written quote with every line item shown, and the figure is the figure. Call (252) 675-6980 to schedule yours.
Florida Pays You Back
Delray Beach homeowners who upgrade to impact-rated windows may stack several incentives. The My Safe Florida Home program offers matching grants up to $10,000 for qualifying wind-mitigation upgrades. Florida’s sales-tax exemption covers impact-resistant windows and doors. The federal 25C energy credit covers 30% of product cost, up to $600 per year on qualifying units. And after a wind-mitigation inspection (usually $75 to $150), many carriers credit around 25% on the windstorm portion of the premium. Programs and carriers set the final numbers, so we don’t guarantee any figure, but we’ll point you to the right inspection and paperwork. Note: we do not install hurricane shutters, but comparing impact windows and shutters is worth doing. Impact windows provide permanent protection every day, with no panels to haul out and hang before a storm; they also cut noise and improve energy efficiency. For a Delray Beach homeowner weighing both, the trade is upfront cost versus permanent protection.
Ratings matter here. We match each unit’s design pressure to the opening, and we never spec a pressure rating above +/-100 PSF. We also confirm Miami-Dade NOA or Florida Product Approval numbers for each configuration, because the Delray Beach code official will ask. Wind speeds in this zone reach 140 to 170 mph, but that’s a wind zone figure, not a design pressure label. The permit speaks in PSF, and we make sure the numbers line up before the first inspection.
The Delray Beach Reality: When a Simple Repair Triggers a Permit
Delray Beach sits entirely within Florida’s High Velocity Hurricane Zone, which means any window repair that touches glazing or framing must satisfy Miami-Dade NOA or Florida Product Approval standards. Even on a 1920s cottage east of Swinton Avenue whose original rough openings were never engineered for design-pressure-rated units, the building department will enforce HVHZ requirements on whatever goes back in. That combination of strict modern code and non-standard historic openings is rare even in neighboring coastal towns, and it changes how we approach every repair estimate we write in Delray Beach. Before we open a wall, we check the openings against current code. If the repair triggers a permit, we tell you before work starts, and we pull the permit, schedule the inspection, and stand with the inspector. No surprises, because the surprise was already written into the quote.
We were called to a 1926 Craftsman cottage off Swinton Avenue where the original single-pane wood double-hungs had swollen sashes and cracked jamb framing. When we opened the wall to repair the frame, we found knob-and-tube wiring and no flashing at all. Before installing new impact-rated glazing in custom retrofit inserts, we wrote an allowance for the electrical and re-flash work, got it approved in writing, then finished with 316 stainless hardware to survive the salt air. The homeowner knew every dollar before we spent it. That’s the only way we work in Delray Beach.
Pricing for Window Repair in Delray Beach, FL
You’ll pay $95 to $410 for most single-window repairs in Delray Beach. Frame work and impact-glass retrofits run higher because of the labor, materials, and permitting involved. The biggest wildcard is the wall behind the window: opened up, you may find outdated wiring, undersized or rotted framing, or failed waterproofing that needs to be addressed before the repair is finished. That’s why we write an allowance into every repair contract in Delray Beach, and we price any added scope in writing before we touch it. You’ll never get a change order you didn’t approve in advance. Call (252) 675-6980 for a free, written estimate on your window repair.

FAQs About Window Repair in Delray Beach
A window repair in Delray Beach triggers a permit any time the glazing or framing is replaced, because the city sits inside the High Velocity Hurricane Zone and code officials enforce Miami-Dade NOA or Florida Product Approval standards on every unit that goes back in. Once the wall is open, we inspect the surrounding framing and waterproofing. If the code official requires upgrades, we write an allowance into the quote beforehand so you’re not hit with a surprise change order. Call (252) 675-6980 and we’ll tell you during the estimate whether your repair will need a permit.
Yes. We can ease swollen sashes, repair cracked jamb framing, and replace broken cords or weights on original wood double-hungs. If you want to keep the historic windows but need impact protection, we install custom retrofits with the correct Florida Product Approval and match the original trim. Call (252) 675-6980 for a free assessment of your wood windows.
Salt spray east of Federal Highway corrodes standard steel hinges and aluminum tracks within a few years, even when they carry a hurricane rating. We use 316 stainless or marine-grade hardware on every barrier-island job, because that’s what survives Delray Beach’s salt-laden wind. If you’re replacing hardware inland, standard rated hardware is fine, but we’ll still match the spec to your exposure. Call (252) 675-6980 with your address for a hardware check.
We stop work and document what we found, then write a scope and price for the additional work. You approve it in writing before we proceed. The knob-and-tube wiring we found off Swinton Avenue is a common example; we wrote an allowance, got approval, and finished the job with the electrical corrected and the opening re-flashed. No work happens without your signature. Call (252) 675-6980 to ask about how allowances work on our repairs.
Repairing windows and upgrading to impact-rated glazing can reduce your windstorm premium, and after a wind-mitigation inspection, many Delray Beach homeowners see around a 25% credit on the windstorm portion. We provide the documentation your carrier needs after the repair, and we point you to the inspection. The carrier sets the final premium. Call (252) 675-6980 to discuss your repair and the paperwork that follows.
