Fast, Reliable Impact Windows & Doors Across Westgate
Impact window and door replacement in Westgate is not a trim job. It is a structural tear-out, because the original jalousie and aluminum slider frames in this community’s 1950s and 1960s CBS block homes cannot meet Palm Beach County’s Wind-Borne Debris Region requirements. Full-frame impact-rated replacements run $9,000 to $22,000 for a typical 1,000 to 1,500 square foot single-story home, depending on opening count and product line. We schedule free estimates across Westgate and walk you through the permit path and your Custom Windows & Doors - Westgate options before you spend a dollar. Call (561) 349-4826.
Why TruePane Windows & Doors Is Westgate’s Preferred Impact Windows & Doors Company
We cut our teeth on exactly the housing stock Westgate has more of than anywhere nearby: single-story CBS block rentals built between 1950 and 1975, most still holding original aluminum frames that have been fighting salt air for six decades. Our Impact Windows & Doors team has pulled more corroded jalousie sashes out of Westgate openings than we can count. The same failure shows up again and again: galvanic corrosion where the iron screws meet the aluminum track, the louver cranks gone stiff, the sash separating at the jamb.
Dale Kessler founded TruePane in 2008 with one rule on the whiteboard: if the pane is not true, the job is not done. That means every opening gets measured twice. Every warranty layer gets registered in writing before the truck leaves the driveway. And every job carries the Done Right Promise. You call, a live person answers, and we show up when we say we will. No voicemail tree, no callback form, no regional call center.
We are an authorized installer for PGT, CGI, and ES Windows, among more than a dozen manufacturer lines. For Westgate specifically, that matters because the county inspector wants to see a Florida Product Approval sticker on every opening. We bring the right products, the right paperwork, and the right crew the first time.
Our Impact Windows & Doors Services in Westgate
Hurricane Impact Windows
A typical full-house impact window replacement in Westgate runs $6,500 to $18,000 depending on the number of openings and the frame material. Most homes here need complete tear-outs because the existing jalousies and horizontal sliders cannot accept an insert. We specify fusion-welded vinyl or thermally broken aluminum frames with low-E laminated glass. In Westgate’s WBR zone, every window carries a Florida Product Approval number that gets verified at inspection.

Impact Sliding Glass Doors
Original sliders on Westgate CBS homes are usually aluminum with thin single-pane glass. Often they do not lock properly, and the track has sagged from decades of humidity and salt. Westgate Sliding & Patio Doors run $3,800 to $9,500 installed. We remove the old frame to the rough opening, address any block-face rot or corroded flashing, and set the new door so it closes square and drains properly.

Impact Entry & French Doors
Entry doors on Westgate rentals and owner-occupied homes are frequently hollow metal or thin wood with no rating. Palm Beach County code requires every exterior swinging door in the WBR to be impact-rated or protected by an approved system. An impact entry door starts around $2,200 to $5,500. French door pairs run $5,000 to $11,000. We install doors that meet the pressure ratings the county enforces, not just what looks good from the street.

Impact Garage Doors
The garage door is the largest opening on a Westgate home and the one most often overlooked. An unrated 16-foot garage door turns into a sail in a storm event. Impact-rated garage doors for Westgate homes run $2,800 to $6,800, including reinforced tracks and bracing. We handle the full path from measure to permit to final inspection, including Westgate Glass Railing Systems where applicable.

Wind Mitigation & Code Compliance
Before you replace a single window in Westgate, we recommend a wind mitigation inspection to document what the county will require. Because there is no municipal building department here, every permit runs through the Palm Beach County Building Division. They enforce WBR-rated Florida Product Approval on every opening. We handle that path for you, including the product approval paperwork and the inspection scheduling.

Trusted Brands We Service in Westgate
We install and service more than a dozen manufacturer lines, and for Westgate work we lean on the ones that hold up in salt air. PGT’s impact-rated aluminum and vinyl lines are a common choice for CBS homes, CGI builds heavy-duty coastal-rated windows and doors, and Westgate customers who want a premium aluminum product often choose ES Windows. We quote lines side by side on paper so you see the price difference before choosing. We do not push one brand. We show you the numbers and let the product earn its place.
Common Impact Windows & Doors Problems We See in Westgate Homes
- Corroded jalousie louvers that will not close. Salt air gets into the crank mechanism and the aluminum sash tracks, but even a functioning jalousie cannot pass a Palm Beach County WBR inspection. The cheap “fix it and leave it” approach fails at permit review.
- Galvanic corrosion on original aluminum sliders. Where iron screws meet aluminum frames, the two metals react in Westgate’s humidity and the sash separates at the jamb. This is the most common hidden failure we find on 1950s CBS rentals.
- Cracked and dried-out window flashing. The original flashing tape around the rough opening crumbles under high humidity, letting water penetrate the block wall. We often find rot where the frame meets the block even when the glass looks fine.
- Sagging sliding door tracks and failed locks. Decades of thermal cycling and salt exposure warp the aluminum track and strip the lock hardware. A door that will not lock is a security problem and a full code failure in the WBR.

FAQs - Impact Windows & Doors in Westgate
Because a jalousie, even with brand new cranks and louvers, provides zero wind-borne debris protection and will not pass a Palm Beach County inspection. The jalousie design leaves open gaps between glass panels, and no hardware upgrade changes that. Westgate is in the WBR, so every replacement window must be impact-rated and carry a Florida Product Approval. We pull the entire frame to the rough opening and set a new impact unit. Call (561) 349-4826 for a free estimate on your specific openings.
Westgate has no municipal building department, so every permit runs through the Palm Beach County Building Division, which enforces WBR-rated Florida Product Approval on every opening. That means the county inspector, not a city or village one, verifies your impact windows carry the correct product approval sticker. We handle the permitting and inspection scheduling for you.
Galvanic corrosion where the iron screws meet the aluminum frame. Westgate’s humidity and salt air accelerate the reaction, and the sash separates at the jamb. You lose the lock engagement, then the seal, then the structural connection. We find this on nearly every 1950s and 1960s CBS rental we open up.
No. The original jalousie, aluminum slider, and single-pane frames in Westgate are not rated for impact glass and cannot be retrofitted to meet Palm Beach County WBR code. The frame has to come out to the rough opening. We do full-frame tear-outs as our standard scope here, and we will show you why at the estimate. Call (561) 349-4826 to schedule a free walkthrough.
Because once the county permit is opened for one opening, the inspector looks at every exterior opening. If the rest of the house still has jalousies or unrated sliders, the permit will not close until they are addressed. We have seen this on dozens of Westgate rentals. We can phase the work but we will not pretend a single door fixes a whole house that does not meet code.

We pulled out a corroded 1964 jalousie frame on a single-story CBS rental off Haverhill Road, where salt air had rotted the original aluminum sash tracks to the point the louvers would not close. We put in a fusion-welded, impact-rated double-hung with low-E glass and stainless jamb hardware, and the county inspector signed off the same day after verifying the Florida Product Approval sticker. That is the standard on every Westgate job.
