Fast, Reliable Window Replacement Across Westgate
Window replacement in Westgate runs $850-$2,900 per opening for full-frame impact-rated units, and most homes here need exactly that because the original jalousie and aluminum slider windows can’t pass Palm Beach County’s Wind-Borne Debris inspection. We know Westgate’s CBS block homes from the jamb out. If you’re looking at corroded frames, fogged glass, or a permit notice from the county, call us at (561) 349-4826 and we’ll walk the job with you before you spend a dollar.
TruePane has worked the unincorporated neighborhoods off Okeechobee Boulevard long enough to know what’s behind the stucco on a 1960s Westgate rental and what a county inspector is going to flag before he signs off. That local knowledge keeps the permit process moving and the scope honest.
Why TruePane Windows & Doors Is Westgate’s Preferred Window Replacement Company
We’re not the cheapest bid in Westgate, and we don’t try to be. We’re the company homeowners call when the last contractor left them with a fogged seal and a jalousie that still rattles in July. Dale Kessler started TruePane in 2008 on one rule: if the pane is not true, the job is not done. That rule governs every opening we touch in Westgate.
Our crews know what a Westgate permit triggers. The county requires impact-rated Florida Product Approval on every replacement opening, and a job that starts as one window can expand once the inspector sees the rest of the house. We inspect first, put the real scope in writing, and register both warranty layers before the truck leaves your driveway. That’s The Keystone Standard, and it’s in writing on every job.
Westgate homeowners call us because a live person answers 24 hours a day. Not a voicemail tree. A person who can dispatch a uniformed, background-checked technician to your street. When you call (561) 349-4826, you get an answer, and you’ll get an estimate that doesn’t change once the county has its say.
Our Window Replacement Services in Westgate
Full Frame Replacement
Most Westgate homes need full-frame replacement, not retrofit. The original aluminum jalousie and single-pane sliders from the 1950s and 1960s are so corroded from humidity and salt air that the frames won’t hold a new sash even if you wanted an insert. Full-frame means we tear out the entire old opening down to the rough framing, correct whatever waterproofing or framing damage we find, and set a new impact-rated unit that meets Palm Beach County’s Wind-Borne Debris Region requirements.
On a 1964 CBS rental just off Okeechobee Boulevard, we pulled original jalousies and found the jamb screws snapped on removal from corrosion. The whole opening got a full-frame Andersen 100 Series impact-rated double-hung with new flashing tape and argon-filled low-E glass. The permit inspection flagged two more openings with failed seals, and those were written as change orders and approved before we touched them.

Insert Window Replacement
Inserts do have a place in Westgate, but only when the existing frame is structurally sound and square. That’s rare in homes built before 1980. If you’re in one of the newer pockets of Westgate where frames are still solid, an insert saves money and keeps the stucco around the opening intact. We measure every opening twice before we quote an insert, because a half-inch of rot behind the frame turns an insert job into a full-frame job fast.
We tell you which one your house actually needs. Not which one costs more. If an insert is a waste of your money, we say so before you sign anything.

Storm Window Replacement
Westgate sits inside Palm Beach County’s designated Wind-Borne Debris Region, which means every replacement window and exterior door must meet impact-resistance standards or pair with an approved secondary protection system. Storm window replacement here is not optional hardware. It’s code. We install impact-rated units from ES Windows and Andersen that carry Florida Product Approval numbers, so when the county inspector reviews your permit, the paperwork is clean and the opening passes.
For Westgate homeowners, the right storm window is the difference between a permit that closes in a week and one that stalls for a month.

Energy-Efficient Upgrade
Westgate’s high annual humidity and Atlantic proximity strain single-pane aluminum frames hard. The galvanic corrosion shortens the life of older products, and the energy loss through failed seals drives cooling bills up in a county where air conditioning runs nine months a year. An energy-efficient upgrade to low-E, argon-filled impact units cuts the heat gain and stops the condensation that rots the interior sill and drywall.
When you upgrade, you’re also solving the fogged-glass problem permanently. Fogged panes mean the argon fill is gone and the U-factor has degraded. New units with a registered warranty fix both at once.

Common Window Replacement Problems We See in Westgate Homes
- Corroded aluminum jalousie frames. The louvered glass panels put into South Florida tract homes in the 1960s have zero wind-borne debris protection. Salt air corrodes the aluminum so badly the jambs crumble during removal. Full frame replacement is the only legal fix.
- Failed seals on original sliders. Original aluminum sliders in Westgate develop seal failure within a decade. Fogged panes mean the argon fill is gone, the U-factor has spiked, and the unit no longer insulates. Landlords often defer this until a rental turnover triggers a WBR inspection.
- Hidden waterproofing failure behind stucco. Opening a jamb on a 1960s CBS home frequently exposes rotted or missing flashing tape. The county won’t sign off on the window permit until that waterproofing is corrected, which is why we inspect and write allowances into the contract before we start.
- Permit scope creep on rental units. A single-door call in Westgate can expand into a whole-house opening project because once the inspector sees jalousies anywhere, every one of them has to go. We prepare you for that before the permit is filed, not after.
Pricing for Window Replacement in Westgate, FL
Full-frame impact-rated window replacement in Westgate runs $850-$2,900 per opening, depending on the product line and what we find behind the stucco. Inserts run $450-$1,200 where the existing frame is sound. Energy-efficient upgrades with low-E and argon fill add $100-$300 per unit. Storm window replacement to Florida Product Approval standards runs $900-$2,200 per opening. Larger openings, custom sizes, and emergency fixes to failed waterproofing are priced in writing before we touch them.
What drives cost in Westgate specifically: the county’s WBR inspection requirement means you can’t legally install a cheap single-pane replacement. That’s not us upselling, that’s Palm Beach County code. The good news is you get a window that actually protects your house, and we register both warranty layers in writing before the truck leaves.

FAQs - Window Replacement in Westgate
Westgate sits inside Palm Beach County’s designated Wind-Borne Debris Region under the Florida Building Code, which applies to the entire unincorporated community regardless of your distance from the shoreline. Every replacement window and exterior door must either meet impact-resistance standards or be paired with an approved secondary protection system. The county enforces this through the permit inspection process, so a non-impact window will fail inspection and the permit won’t close. Call (561) 349-4826 and we’ll help you spec the right Florida Product Approved unit for your openings.
No, and Palm Beach County inspectors will reject the permit if you try. Jalousie louvered glass provides zero wind-borne debris protection and cannot be made compliant with any hardware upgrade. The entire opening must be torn out and replaced with an impact-rated unit. We pulled a full set of these from a 1964 rental in Westgate and the sashes were so corroded the jamb screws snapped during removal. Replace the frame, register the warranty, and the opening passes. We can quote the whole scope for your house; call (561) 349-4826.
Because once the county inspector sees any original jalousie or non-impact sliders on a Westgate CBS home, every opening has to be brought to code before the permit closes. Hidden waterproofing failure behind 1960s stucco is also common, and the county will not sign off on a window permit until the flashing is corrected. We handle this with an inspection-first process: we open the jamb carefully, document what’s behind the wall, and put any required correction in writing before the county even sees it. No surprises added after the fact. Call (561) 349-4826 to schedule the inspection.
Humidity and Atlantic salt air accelerate galvanic corrosion on aluminum frames, which is exactly why so many original Westgate windows are crumbling. Your replacement should be a fusion-welded frame or a corrosion-resistant material, not a thin aluminum sash that will start pitting within a decade. We recommend Andersen’s composite frames and ES Windows’ impact-rated lines for Westgate because they hold up to salt air and clear Palm Beach County’s Florida Product Approval without issue. We can put both manufacturer quotes side by side on paper for you. Call (561) 349-4826.
Yes. Westgate has no municipal building department, so every replacement window and door permit runs through the Palm Beach County Building Division. That department enforces Wind-Borne Debris Region requirements on every opening, meaning your permit will not close unless the units are impact-rated or paired with an approved secondary system. TruePane pulls all permits and walks them through the county for you. Call (561) 349-4826 and we’ll handle the paperwork from filing to final inspection.
