AfterWindows & Doors Services in Westgate, FL
Window and door work in Westgate, FL typically runs between $850 and $3,400 per opening depending on whether you’re replacing an old jalousie unit with a code-compliant impact window or swapping a front door for a Therma-Tru impact-rated model. Most Westgate homeowners we talk to are dealing with 1950s-to-1970s concrete block homes where the original aluminum frames have corroded in the salt-laden humidity, and the openings were never sized for modern impact glazing. The fix usually involves custom or modified frames, and it’s done right the first time, because Ed Winslow’s name goes on every job we do. Call (561) 468-6136 and you’ll reach a live person, not a voicemail tree.
If you’re in Westgate and the jalousies are still in place, that’s not just old glass. It’s a code conversation waiting to happen with the county. We’ll walk you through exactly what’s needed and what it costs before anything gets ordered.

Why Westgate Homeowners Choose Winslow Windows & Doors
Westgate sits in unincorporated Palm Beach County, which means every permit runs through the Palm Beach County Building Division, not a city office. That changes how replacements get specified, inspected, and approved. We’ve done enough jobs in this community to know which design pressures apply on which street, how county inspectors handle jalousie-to-impact conversions, and what documentation they’ll ask for at final sign-off. When you call us, you’re not explaining Westgate’s quirks to a call center. You’re talking to someone who already knows them.
Homeowners around Seminole Manor, Belvedere Homes, and the neighborhoods off Okeechobee Boulevard routinely tell us the same two things: they wanted a company with a published address and license number, and they didn’t want to hang up the phone with a ticket number and a promise of a callback. We answer 24/7 with a live person. Our technicians are background-checked and show up in uniform, so you know who’s at your door before the truck stops rolling.
Ed Winslow founded this company in 2011, and the Done Right Promise isn’t marketing. If it’s not done right, we come back and make it right. That promise means something in a place like Westgate, where so many houses are 60-plus years old and the existing frames have hidden damage you only find after the old unit comes out.
Windows & Doors Services We Offer in Westgate
Impact Windows
Impact windows are the flagship line for Westgate and for good reason. Palm Beach County puts this entire community in the windborne debris region, so laminated impact glass with Florida Product Approval or Miami-Dade NOA is the standard for permitted work here. We match design pressures to each opening, and we never spec a unit above +/-100 when the opening doesn’t call for it. Learn more about our Impact Windows in Westgate.
Window Installation
Installation in Westgate almost never means a simple swap. The original window openings on 1950s and 1960s CBS ranch homes were framed for jalousie or louvered aluminum units, so the rough opening usually needs modification before a modern impact frame will sit correctly. We handle the buck and sub-frame work, the anchoring, and the county inspection paperwork. Learn more about our Window Installation in Westgate.
Window Replacement
When an old aluminum single-pane finally fails, the job is a replacement in name only. Westgate’s salt-laden air has spent decades oxidizing those frames, and we routinely find rot or corrosion at the anchors once the unit is out. We quote the full scope up front, so the invoice matches the estimate. Learn more about our Window Replacement in Westgate.
Door Installation
Westgate Door Installation takes direct hit from afternoon storms and the same windborne debris rules that apply to windows. We install Therma-Tru and other impact-rated door systems sized to the opening and anchored to the block wall correctly. Every door job includes the frame, threshold, and hardware assessment, not just a slab swap.
Sliding Glass & Patio Doors
Older Westgate homes often have an original aluminum slider that leaks air, sticks in the track, and wouldn’t stop a windborne 2×4. We replace those with Westgate Sliding Glass & Patio Doors that pass county inspection and operate smoothly for years. Design pressure is matched to the opening, same as every window we install.
Energy-Efficient Windows
Replacing jalousie or single-pane aluminum with Energy-Efficient Windows in Westgate changes how a concrete block home holds temperature. Our customers in Westgate typically see a 20% to 30% reduction in cooling demand after the swap, which matters in a place where the AC runs ten months a year. The federal 25C credit can offset part of the product cost on qualifying units.
Impact Garage Doors
The garage door is the largest single opening on most Westgate homes, and a non-rated door is the weak point in any wind-mitigation story. We install Impact Garage Doors - Westgate that meet Palm Beach County’s windborne debris requirements and hold up to the same pressure load as the rest of the envelope.
Custom & Geometric Windows
Not every Westgate home wants a standard rectangle. Custom and geometric impact windows let you keep the character of the house while meeting current code, and we fabricate to the exact rough opening. Custom fabrication typically runs 4 to 6 weeks before installation, so we plan the schedule around that lead time.
Roof Repair
Windows and doors are only as good as the roof that shelters them. Westgate’s afternoon thunderstorm season and occasional tropical systems put pressure on aging shingle and tile roofs. We handle roof repair with the same licensing, insurance, and done-right standard as our window and door work.
Roof Replacement & Installation
When repair isn’t enough, a full roof replacement keeps water out of the walls and protects the new windows and doors below it. We install shingle, tile, and metal roofing systems sized for Palm Beach County wind loads. Permits are pulled, inspections are passed, and Ed’s promise covers the whole job.
Shingle, Tile & Metal Roofing
Westgate’s housing stock includes all three roofing materials, and each has its own anchoring and underlayment requirements in the windborne debris region. We install shingle, tile, and metal roofing correctly, with the right fasteners and secondary water barrier, so the inspection passes the first time.
Neighborhoods We Serve in Westgate
Our crews work throughout Westgate, and typical response time for an estimate visit is same-week once you confirm the appointment. We know the blocks and the housing stock in this community, from the older ranch homes near the county line to the streets branching off Okeechobee Boulevard.

Why Westgate’s Climate & Housing Affect Windows & Doors
Westgate’s position in Palm Beach County puts it 10 to 12 miles inland from the Atlantic, but the windborne debris region doesn’t care how close you are to the beach. The county still requires impact-rated glazing or approved protection on all fenestration for permitted work. At the same time, the salt-laden humidity that drifts inland from the coast accelerates oxidation on untreated aluminum window frames, which is exactly what most 1950s-to-1970s Westgate homes have. The result is a housing stock where the original windows are both structurally non-compliant and physically failing at the same time.
This matters because a replacement in Westgate is rarely a simple measurement-and-swap. The original narrow window openings were framed for jalousie and louvered aluminum, which means the rough opening often needs modifying before a modern impact frame fits properly. And because so much of the housing has been under deferred maintenance for decades, rotted or corroded existing frames are routine, so buck or sub-frame work happens before the new unit goes in. If a home still has functional jalousies, the county will not sign off on a partial upgrade that leaves them in place next to newly permitted openings. That means a Westgate window estimate is almost always a full code-upgrade conversation, not a one-for-one replacement quote.
Pricing for Windows & Doors in Westgate
Pricing depends on the opening, the product, and how much frame modification the existing construction requires. Here’s what we see across Westgate jobs:
- Impact window replacement (standard opening, no structural surprises): $1,500 to $4,200 per unit installed
- Impact entry door with frame and hardware: $2,800 to $6,500 depending on glass lite and panel configuration
- Sliding glass door replacement with impact-rated unit: $4,500 to $9,000
- Jalousie-to-impact conversion with rough opening modification: add $300 to $800 per opening
- Roof repair entry point: $400 to $1,800 depending on scope
- Roof replacement (shingle, underlayment, fasteners): $14,000 to $35,000 for typical Westgate ranch homes
Every estimate is a written line-item quote, so you know the exact scope before work begins. If you have a written estimate from another company, we’ll give you a free second opinion on it. Seniors and veterans get a 10% discount on the full scope, and any repair over $200 takes $40 off the invoice.
How Impact Windows Compare to Shutters in Westgate
Plenty of Westgate homeowners weigh impact windows against hurricane shutters before they commit to a scope of work. Shutters work, but only when someone puts them up. Impact windows sit in the opening 24/7, 365 days a year, with zero panels to carry, store, or lose track of before a storm. They also keep the house cooled, quiet, and secured even on a normal Tuesday, which shutters don’t. In unincorporated areas where county inspectors enforce the windborne debris rules, the permanent solution also simplifies the permit file for future work.
You’ll also find big-box retailers offering replacement windows with installation. That’s fine for some jobs. But in Westgate, where rough openings need modification and county inspections drive the schedule, an impact window is not a like-for-like commodity. We install from eight authorized brands including PGT, CGI, and CWS, and our installers are background-checked employees, not third-party crews dispatched by a store you’ll never hear from again. Ed’s phone number is published, and Ed answers.
Florida Pays Westgate Homeowners Back
Florida has put real money behind wind mitigation, and Westgate homeowners are eligible to use it. The My Safe Florida Home program offers matching grants up to $10,000 for qualifying wind-mitigation upgrades, which includes impact windows and doors on many homes. The state also exempts impact-resistant windows, doors, and garage doors from sales tax entirely, which trims the invoice on the spot. On the federal side, the 25C energy credit covers 30% of product cost up to $600 per year on qualifying energy-efficient units.
Once the installation is done, a wind-mitigation inspection costs $75 to $150, and the credits on the windstorm portion of your insurance premium run around 25% on average after the inspector files the report. We don’t guarantee program approvals or carrier discounts. Those numbers are set by the state and by your insurer. But a code-compliant impact installation is the prerequisite for all of them, and that part is fully within our control. Call (561) 468-6136 and we’ll help you figure out which incentives apply to your scope.

FAQs About Windows & Doors in Westgate
Impact window replacement in Westgate typically costs $1,500 to $4,200 per unit installed, with the final number depending on whether the rough opening needs modification, the design pressure rating required for the location, and the glass package you choose. A jalousie-to-impact conversion adds $300 to $800 per opening because the original frame work has to be brought up to current code. Call (561) 468-6136 for a written line-item quote on your exact openings. Estimates are free.
Yes. Westgate is unincorporated, so all window and door replacements that alter the opening or the glazing run through the Palm Beach County Building Division. Impact windows and doors must show Florida Product Approval or Miami-Dade NOA documentation before the inspector will sign off. We pull the permit, schedule the inspection, and include all documentation in the job file. Call (561) 468-6136 and we’ll tell you exactly what your project requires before any money changes hands.
Palm Beach County inspectors will not approve a partial upgrade that leaves jalousie windows in place adjacent to newly permitted impact openings, because jalousies offer virtually zero structural wind resistance and defeat the purpose of the code requirement. A replacement estimate in Westgate often turns into a full code-upgrade conversation for this exact reason. We’ll tell you which openings have to go and which can stay before we quote the job. Call (561) 468-6136 for a free estimate and a straight answer on what the county will require.
No. We quote a written line-item scope after we inspect the existing frames and the rough openings, and that number holds once the crew starts. If we open a wall and find hidden rot or corrosion we couldn’t see from the outside, we stop and show you what we found before any additional work is authorized. Ed Winslow’s name is on the invoice, and he doesn’t do surprise change orders. Call (561) 468-6136 to schedule a free estimate and get your exact number in writing.
Once your custom units are fabricated and on-site, installation typically runs as fast as a single day for standard openings. Custom fabrication runs 4 to 6 weeks from order to delivery, which is the standard lead time in the impact glass industry in Florida. We’ll give you a schedule at time of estimate, and we stick to it. Call (561) 468-6136 to get your project on the calendar.
We handle the entire permit process through the Palm Beach County Building Division, including the application, the documentation for product approvals, and the inspection scheduling.

What Westgate Customers Say
"The old aluminium sliders howled every afternoon storm and swelter came straight through the glass. The new impact sliders shut with a sound like a bank vault and the back rooms finally hold their temperature."
- Percival Whitcombe"He replaced the front door and the garage door in the same week, both rated for impact, and lined the frames up so straight my level had nothing to say. My wife stopped hearing the highway from the front room."
- Maximilian Vasquez"A tile roof repair and new windows from the same company meant one crew, one permit runner, and nobody blaming the other trade. Ed checked the roof work himself before the tarp came off."
