AfterTrusted Window Installation for Westgate Homeowners
Window installation in Westgate typically costs between $450 and $1,400 per window for standard-size units, with whole-home projects running $6,000 to $22,000 depending on the glass package, frame material, and whether you choose impact-rated products. Most standard installations are completed in one day, and we schedule Westgate jobs every week. Since 2011, Ed Winslow and his crew have installed thousands of windows across Palm Beach County, and we answer the phone around the clock at (561) 468-6136 when a window problem can’t wait.
Westgate sits close enough to the coast that salt air works on window frames year-round. We see corroded aluminum tracks, fogged double-pane glass, and cranks that snap off in casement windows because the coastal humidity seizes the hardware. When you call, you get a straight answer about whether a window can be repaired or should be replaced, and a real number for what the work costs, not a sales pitch disguised as a quote.
Key Takeaways:
- Window installation in Westgate runs $450-$1,400 per window; impact-rated glass adds cost but is often required by code.
- Winslow Windows & Doors has been locally owned and operated by Ed Winslow since 2011, with a published address and license number.
- Every installation carries the Done Right Promise: if it’s not right, we come back and make it right.
- Call (561) 468-6136 any hour for a free, no-pressure estimate.
What Our Window Installation Service Includes
Every window we install in Westgate starts with a conversation about how the room is used, which direction it faces, and what the homeowner actually wants fixed. A bedroom window on the west side of the house gets pounded by afternoon sun, so glass selection matters differently than a shaded north-facing kitchen window. We install all eight window styles below-including Bay & Bow Windows-and we’re direct about which ones make sense where.
Single & Double Hung Windows
Single hung windows have a fixed top sash and a bottom sash that slides up. Double hung lets both sashes move, which improves airflow and makes cleaning far easier from inside. In Westgate’s older ranch homes, we replace plenty of original single hungs with double hungs when homeowners want better ventilation without changing the window opening size.
Horizontal Roller Windows
Horizontal roller windows slide side to side on tracks, and they’re common in mid-century Florida homes and utility rooms. The big failure point down here is the rollers themselves: salt and grit chew them up, and the window starts sticking or grinding. We replace the full unit when the frame is worn, and we install new rollers and track when the window is worth saving.
3-Panel Sliding (3-Lite Roller) Windows
3-Panel Sliding (3-Lite Roller) Windows span a big section of wall and let in serious light, which is why Westgate homeowners love them in living rooms and sunrooms. They’re heavy, and when the frame settles even a quarter-inch, the panels bind and the center lite stops moving. We measure every opening precisely and shim the new frame level so all three panels glide without forcing.
Casement Windows
Casement Windows are hinged on one side and swing outward with a crank, and they seal tighter than sliders because the sash compresses against the weatherstripping. In Westgate, coastal breeze makes casements a great choice for catching cross-ventilation. The crank mechanisms are the part that fails first, and when we install a new casement, we make sure the hardware is corrosion-resistant and the sash closes square against the frame.
Awning & Hopper Windows
Awning & Hopper Windows are small and often overlooked: awnings hinge at the top and push outward from the bottom so they can stay open during a light rain, while hoppers hinge at the bottom and open inward, most common in bathrooms and basements. Both are small, and both get overlooked until the seal fails and the glass fogs. We can walk you through both styles with the same care as a full wall of sliding glass, because a fogged bathroom window is the one you stare at every morning.
Picture & Fixed Windows
Fixed windows don’t open, and that’s the point: they’re there for the view and the light. Westgate lots back up to lakes and canals in places, and a properly installed picture window with low-E glass keeps the heat out while the view stays crystal clear. The installation has to be perfectly plumb and flashed correctly, because a fixed window that leaks has no moving parts to blame.

Brands We Service for Window Installation
Winslow Windows & Doors is an authorized installer for PGT, CGI, Therma-Tru, among others. PGT is the big name in Florida impact glass, and we’ve installed hundreds of PGT WinGuard and PGT ClassicVue Max units in Westgate and across the county. We know the product lines, the lead times, and the code requirements, so the quote we give you reflects the actual shipped product, not a guess.
CGI is another impact-rated line we install often, especially for homeowners who want a heavier extruded aluminum frame. Their windows are built in Miami for the coastal Florida market, and they’re a go-to when a Westgate home needs the strongest possible hurricane protection. Therma-Tru round out our line card for specific situations: ViewLux for large custom openings and modern sightlines, Therma-Tru for entry doors that need to match the new window style. If you have a brand not listed here, call us anyway. We can usually source it or tell you honestly why a different product would hold up better in this climate.
Signs You Need Window Installation Right Now
- You can feel air moving around a closed window. This means the weatherstripping has failed or the frame has warped. In Westgate’s humidity, that air leak carries moisture into the wall cavity, and you’re also paying to cool outside air. A replacement stops both problems at once.
- The glass is fogged between the panes. Double-pane windows have a seal that can fail as the unit ages. Once that seal breaks, the insulative gas escapes and condensation gets trapped inside. There is no repair for this; the sealed unit gets replaced.
- You have to prop a window open with a stick or a book. A window that won’t stay open on its own has failed balance hardware or worn-out friction stays. It’s also a safety issue if the window slams shut on someone’s fingers. New balances restore proper operation.
- Water stains appear on the drywall below or beside a window. Water is getting past the flashing or the frame seal. By the time you see the stain, the leak has been active for a while. Replacing the window and properly flashing the rough opening is the actual fix, not caulking over the symptom.
- The frame is soft, swollen, or visibly rotting. In coastal air, wood and older composite frames break down faster than most people expect. A soft frame means moisture is already inside the wall. The window comes out, the opening gets inspected, and the new frame goes in with modern flashing tape and sealant.
Our Window Installation Process - Step by Step
- 1
Free on-site assessment. We come to your Westgate home, measure every opening, inspect the existing frame and flashing, and talk through what’s actually wrong. There’s no trip charge inside our home county, and you get a written line-item estimate, not a verbal ballpark.
- 2
Product selection and fixed pricing. We walk you through glass packages, frame materials, and impact-rating options, and we give you a number that won’t change. No change orders, no surprise fees when we show up. If a second opinion would help, bring us any written estimate and we’ll review it for free.
- 3
Permits and scheduling. When a permit is required, we pull it and our work passes inspection. We schedule the install around your life, and we show up when we say we will. The technician who arrives is background-checked, uniformed, and ready to walk you through the day’s plan.
- 4
Precise installation and air-sealing. The old window comes out, the rough opening gets cleaned and inspected, and the new unit goes in level, shimmed, and flashed to keep water moving away from the opening. We use the right sealants for coastal Florida, not whatever caulk is on sale at the hardware store.
- 5
Cleanup and walk-through. We haul away the old windows and leave your yard and floors clean. Then we walk the job with you, show you how the new windows operate, and make sure you’re satisfied before the truck leaves. If anything isn’t right later, the Done Right Promise means we return and fix it.
How Much Does Window Installation Cost in Westgate?
A typical single or double hung window installation in Westgate runs $550 to $1,100 per unit for a standard size with a vinyl frame. Casement windows cost more, usually $800 to $1,500 installed, because the hardware is more complex and the units are often larger. Picture windows fall between $400 and $1,000 depending on the glass package. Impact-rated windows from PGT or CGI add anywhere from $300 to $800 per window over standard glass, and that’s the price of real hurricane protection, not an upsell.
| Window Type | Typical Installed Cost (Per Window) | What Affects the Price |
|---|---|---|
| Single/Double Hung | $550 - $1,100 | Frame material, glass package, size |
| Horizontal Roller | $500 - $1,000 | Track system, impact rating |
| 3-Panel Sliding | $1,500 - $3,200 | Width, frame, glass |
| Casement | $800 - $1,500 | Hardware quality, size |
| Awning/Hopper | $450 - $900 | Size, venting mechanism |
| Picture/Fixed | $400 - $1,000 | Glass, frame, installation height |
What drives the price more than anything is whether the opening is standard or custom, whether the frame has water damage that needs repair before the new window goes in, and whether you’re choosing impact glass. A free estimate from us includes all of that: we measure, we inspect, and we give you a written number that includes materials, labor, permits, and haul-away. No surprise line items appear later.

Frequently Asked Questions - Window Installation in Westgate
Window installation is the process of removing an old or damaged window and fitting a new one into the existing rough opening, properly sealed and flashed. It includes measuring, leveling, shimming, insulating, sealing, and trimming out the interior and exterior. A proper installation is just as important as the window itself, because even the best glass leaks and binds if the frame isn’t square and the flashing isn’t right.
A standard single window installation in Westgate takes about two to four hours from start to cleanup. A full house of ten to fifteen windows usually takes two to three days depending on access and whether we find water damage in the openings. We give you a realistic timeline when we quote the job, and we stick to it.
Per-window costs range from about $400 for a small fixed window to $3,200 for a wide 3-panel sliding unit with impact glass. Whole-home projects typically land between $6,000 and $22,000.
