Impact windows and doors in Delray Beach.
From historic cottages to new coastal homes, storm protection that respects what was there first.
Historic properties
If your home is in a Delray Beach historic district or is individually listed on the local register, exterior alterations need a Certificate of Appropriateness. Depending on the extent of the work, the City’s Historic Preservation Division staff or the Historic Preservation Board reviews the request against the City’s design guidelines. We confirm the review level with the City early and specify impact products whose profiles, divided lites, and proportions suit the house.
Approvals outside the HVHZ
Delray Beach is in Palm Beach County, outside the High-Velocity Hurricane Zone. Products may be approved through Florida Product Approval or a Miami-Dade NOA, which can widen the range of systems available for a design. Every opening still has to meet its required design pressure, which is highest close to the ocean.
Permitting
Window and door replacement requires a building permit from the City of Delray Beach. For historic properties, the Certificate of Appropriateness comes first. We prepare both, submit them, and schedule the inspections.

Delray Beach questions
Can I install impact windows on a historic home in Delray Beach?
Generally, yes, with a Certificate of Appropriateness. The City reviews exterior alterations to historic properties, either at staff level or by the Historic Preservation Board depending on the scope. Choosing products that match the original design is the key to approval.
Do I need a Miami-Dade NOA in Delray Beach?
Not necessarily. Delray Beach is outside the HVHZ, so Florida Product Approval is also accepted. Many products carry both.
