Double Hung Impact Windows in Westgate, FL

Double hung impact windows in Westgate, FL typically run $450 to $1,100 per window installed, depending on size, glass package, and the condition of your existing framing. Most homes we work on in Westgate can have new double hung impact windows measured, ordered, and permitted within a two-to-three week window, with installation completed in a single day for most jobs.

At Winslow Windows & Doors, we’ve been installing double hung impact windows across Westgate and the surrounding Palm Beach County communities since 2011. Ed Winslow’s name is on this business, which means when we show up at your door, someone with a personal stake in the outcome is behind every decision – from the brand we recommend to the caulk we use around the frame. If you’d like to talk through your options before committing to anything, call us at (561) 468-6136 – a live person picks up every time, day or night.

Double hung windows are one of the most practical impact window styles for Florida homes. Both sashes slide up and down independently, which makes them easy to tilt inward for cleaning – a feature Westgate homeowners with second-story bedrooms or windows near pool enclosures genuinely appreciate. Pair that with impact-rated laminated glass and a reinforced frame, and you get a window that handles a Category 4 storm and your monthly electric bill with equal efficiency. You can see the full scope of what we offer on our Impact Windows & Doors in Westgate page, but this page is specifically about why double hung windows are the right fit for many Westgate homes and what working with us actually looks like.

When You Need Double Hung Impact Windows

Not every homeowner comes to us knowing exactly what they need. Some call because they heard something rattle during a storm. Others have gotten a quote somewhere else and want a straight answer. Here are the most common situations where double hung impact windows make the most sense:

• Your current windows have no impact rating. A surprising number of older Westgate homes – particularly those built before 2002 – still have single-pane aluminum windows that offer no meaningful wind or debris protection. During storm season, that’s a serious exposure. Double hung impact windows replace them cleanly without requiring you to widen or reshape the opening.
• You’re paying too much to cool your home. Westgate’s summers push heat through poorly sealed, single-glazed windows all day long. Our double hung models from brands like PGT and CGI carry Low-E coatings and argon-filled glass packages that cut solar heat gain significantly. Several clients in the Westgate area have reported meaningful drops in their FPL bills within the first full summer after installation.
• You want easier cleaning on upper floors. Unlike single hung windows – where only the bottom sash moves – double hung windows allow both sashes to tilt inward. For Westgate homeowners with bedrooms on the second floor or windows above a porch, that means no more balancing on a ladder to clean the outside glass.
• Your insurance carrier is asking questions. Florida homeowners insurance has tightened considerably in recent years. If your carrier has flagged your non-impact windows during a renewal, installing code-compliant impact windows is often the most direct path to keeping your policy – and in some cases, qualifying for a mitigation credit.
• You’re planning a kitchen or bathroom renovation. Westgate’s building code requires impact-rated openings in any permitted renovation touching certain parts of the envelope. Replacing windows as part of a larger project keeps your permit clean and avoids a costly correction later.
• Existing windows are leaking, fogging, or drafting. Failed seals in double-pane units cause that cloudy, milky look between the panes. Worn weatherstripping lets conditioned air escape and humid air enter. These aren’t cosmetic problems – they mean your window is no longer performing as a thermal or storm barrier.

Our Double Hung Impact Windows Process

We don’t show up with a product catalog and pressure you into a decision. The process below is how we actually work – no shortcuts, no subcontractors swapped in without your knowledge.

1. Free in-home measurement and consultation. We come to your Westgate home, measure every opening, assess the frame condition, and talk through what you’re trying to accomplish – whether that’s storm protection, energy savings, insurance compliance, or all three. There’s no trip charge for homes inside our service area, and Ed or one of our background-checked team members is the person who shows up. We bring samples so you can see the glass and frame options in your actual light conditions.
2. Upfront written quote. Before you sign anything, you receive a line-item quote with no buried fees. The price you see is the price on the invoice. We can also offer a free second opinion if you’ve already received a written estimate from another contractor – we’ll review it honestly and tell you exactly where we agree or disagree.
3. Permit pulling and product ordering. Once you approve the quote, we pull the required building permits with Palm Beach County and place the factory order. PGT and CGI windows are built to Miami-Dade and Florida Building Code specifications, so the permit inspection process is straightforward. We handle all of this – you don’t need to manage paperwork or chase down an inspector.
4. Professional installation by our uniformed crew. On installation day, our team arrives in uniform with ID you can verify before anyone steps inside. We remove your existing windows carefully, prep the rough opening, set and anchor the new double hung frames to manufacturer spec, apply the appropriate flashing and sealant for Florida’s driving rain conditions, and clean up completely before we leave. Most single-story Westgate homes are done in one day.
5. Final inspection and walk-through. We stay through the county inspection and walk you through the finished windows – showing you how to operate both sashes, tilt them for cleaning, and engage the locks. If anything doesn’t meet our standard during that walk-through, we fix it before the truck leaves your driveway.
6. Done Right Promise. After the job is complete, our commitment doesn’t end. If something isn’t right – a sash that binds, a seal that fails, a frame that wasn’t set true – call us and we come back. The Done Right Promise is our version of a guarantee with teeth: if it’s not done right, we make it right, period. No national chain can offer that kind of personal accountability.

Double Hung Impact Windows Pricing in Westgate

Double hung impact windows in Westgate cost $450 to $1,100 per window, fully installed. Here’s what drives that range:

A typical Westgate single-family home with eight to twelve windows lands somewhere between $5,200 and $9,800 for a full installation, including permits. That number can shift depending on the existing frame conditions – older homes in the neighborhoods closer to Okeechobee Blvd sometimes have wood frames that need replacement before new windows can be set properly.

We don’t charge a trip fee for homes inside Palm Beach County. Seniors and veterans receive a permanent 10% discount on any job. If your project includes a repair component over $200, you’ll receive $40 off that portion. These aren’t promotional pricing – they’re standing commitments.

Call (561) 468-6136 for a free in-home estimate. We’ll measure your openings, assess the frame, and give you a written quote before you make any decision.

Why Westgate Homeowners Choose Winslow

We hear a version of the same story fairly often: a homeowner got a low quote from a company that showed up with a crew they’d never met, pulled a permit that took months, and left gaps around the frame they didn’t notice until the first heavy rain. That story ends with a second call to someone who does it right.

Winslow Windows & Doors has been part of this community since 2011. Ed Winslow built this company with a published address, a real license number, and a phone line answered by a live person around the clock – not because those things are marketing points, but because that’s how a business runs when someone’s actual name is attached to it. We’re authorized installers for PGT, CGI, and ViewLux, among others, which means we source products directly from manufacturers rather than through a distributor chain that adds cost and removes accountability.

When you hire us for double hung impact windows in Westgate, the crew that shows up has been background-checked and arrives in uniform. The price in your quote is the price on your invoice. And if anything isn’t right after the job is done, the Done Right Promise means we come back – not after a warranty claim process, not after a call center reviews your ticket, but because Ed’s name is on the work.

From our home base in Palm Beach County, we cover Westgate and the surrounding communities, so we understand how the local building department processes permits, which neighborhoods have older framing that needs attention, and what it means to install windows in a climate that brings 150 mph gusts and year-round humidity in the same zip code.

FAQs – Double Hung Impact Windows

How much do double hung impact windows cost in Westgate?

Double hung impact windows in Westgate run $450 to $1,100 per window, fully installed, including labor and permits. The main variables are window size, glass package (standard laminated versus Low-E argon), and the condition of your existing frame. A whole-home replacement on a typical Westgate single-family home with eight to twelve windows usually lands between $5,200 and $9,800. Call (561) 468-6136 for a free in-home measurement and written quote – no trip charge inside Palm Beach County.

Are double hung impact windows better than single hung for Florida homes?

Double hung impact windows offer one meaningful advantage over single hung: both sashes operate and tilt inward for cleaning. That matters in Westgate particularly because many homes have bedrooms or bathrooms where the window is above a tub, porch, or pool deck – places where cleaning from outside isn’t easy or safe. On storm protection and energy performance, both styles can be built to the same impact and Low-E specifications, so the choice usually comes down to how you use and maintain the window rather than any structural difference.

Do impact windows require a permit in Westgate?

Yes. Replacing windows in Westgate requires a building permit through Palm Beach County, and the new windows must meet Florida Building Code impact standards. Winslow pulls every permit before work begins and coordinates the required inspection – you don’t need to manage any part of that process. Installing impact windows without a permit is a code violation that can surface during a home sale inspection and create significant problems with your homeowners insurance carrier.

Can double hung impact windows lower my Florida homeowners insurance?

They can, and for many Westgate homeowners they do. Florida’s wind mitigation credit system allows insurers to reduce premiums when a home’s openings are fully protected with rated impact windows. The credit amount depends on your specific policy and insurer, but some homeowners see meaningful annual savings after a wind mitigation inspection confirms the new windows are in place. We can provide the documentation your inspector or insurer needs to process that credit. Call (561) 468-6136 to ask what paperwork we provide after installation.
