AfterTherma-Tru Window Installation in Westgate: What to Know First
Therma-Tru window installation in Westgate typically runs between $450 and $1,200 per opening depending on the series, size, and whether we’re replacing the frame or just the sash. Most Westgate jobs are completed in a single day, and we quote every project before any work begins so there’s no surprise on the final invoice. If you own a Therma-Tru window that’s binding, fogging, or leaking around the frame, call (561) 468-6136 and we’ll walk you through what’s likely going on before we even schedule the visit.

We’re Winslow Windows & Doors, an independent Therma-Tru service provider based right here in the community since 2011. Ed Winslow’s name is on the door, and he’s the one who answers when you call.

How Therma-Tru Products Fail - and How We Fix Them
Therma-Tru built its reputation on entry doors, but their window lines share the same DNA: composite frames, insulated glass, and hardware that holds up reasonably well until the South Florida climate starts working against it. After years of pulling these units out of Westgate homes, we know exactly where they give out first.
- Fogged glass on older Therma-Tru sliding windows. The horizontal roller and 3-panel slider lines from the mid-2000s used a less forgiving edge seal on the insulated glass unit. Once that seal fails, humid air gets between the panes and you get permanent condensation you can’t wipe off. Westgate’s humidity makes this happen faster than it does up north. The fix is a new insulated glass unit, not a whole new window. We measure, order, and swap the IGU, and the window works like new again.
- Binding sashes on single and double hung units. Therma-Tru hung windows use a balance system that can wear unevenly if the window isn’t kept clean and lubricated. What starts as a little extra effort to open the sash turns into a window that won’t stay up, then one that won’t move at all. We replace the balances, realign the sash, and test it a dozen times before we leave. No silicone spray band-aids.
- Water intrusion around casement and awning windows. The casement and awning lines depend on a compressible weatherstrip that hardens under years of UV exposure. Once it loses its give, driving rain finds the gap. We see this constantly in Westgate homes with southern or eastern exposures. The real fix is removing the sash, replacing the weatherseal with an OEM-spec material, and resetting the closure point so the hardware actually compresses the seal like it’s supposed to.
- Failed rollers on horizontal sliders. The 2-lite horizontal roller windows wear out their roller wheels, especially if the track collects sand or grit. A homeowner feels the window getting harder to slide and assumes the frame is warped. It usually isn’t. We replace the roller assemblies, clean and realign the track, and the window glides again. On rusted or pitted tracks, we’ll quote a track replacement rather than pretend the new rollers will fix a ruined surface.
- Improperly flashed new-construction units. We find Therma-Tru picture and fixed windows that were installed years ago by another contractor who skipped the sill flashing or used the wrong sealant against the stucco. The result is water running down the inside of the wall long before anyone sees staining on the drywall. Our installs include proper flashing, backer rod, and sealant that doesn’t shrink in Florida heat. On repairs, we remove the window, correct the flashing, and reset it the way the manufacturer intended.
Our Therma-Tru Window Installation Process
- 1
You call (561) 468-6136. A live person picks up, day or night. We ask what the window’s doing, what brand and style it is, and roughly when it started giving you trouble.
- 2
We schedule the visit. No trip charge inside the home county. Ed or one of our background-checked techs arrives in uniform, on time, with the truck logo you can’t miss.
- 3
We diagnose in person. We measure the opening, check the frame and glazing, identify the series and parts, and tell you straight whether it’s a repair or a full replacement. If it’s a repair, we quote you the exact parts and labor before touching anything.
- 4
We make the parts call. OEM parts when they matter for warranty and fit; quality aftermarket parts when they’re genuinely equal or better for less money. We’ll tell you which we recommend and why, in plain English.
- 5
We install, test, and clean. The unit goes in level, plumb, and square. We operate it until it feels right, check the seal, and clean up the work area. You’ll never find a stray screw or chunk of old caulk left behind.
- 6
You get the promise. Every job carries the Done Right Promise. If it’s not right, we come back and make it right. Ed’s name is on the work.
What Therma-Tru Window Installation Costs in Westgate
Here’s what Westgate homeowners can expect to pay for common Therma-Tru window work, based on what we’ve quoted and completed in the area:
- Single or double hung sash replacement: $260-$520 per window
- Horizontal roller or 3-panel slider IGU replacement: $310-$640 per unit
- Full frame replacement (standard size): $650-$1,050 per opening

What moves the price: window size, series, glass package, whether the frame can be salvaged, and accessibility (second story, awkward clearances). We give you a written line-item quote before work starts, and that number doesn’t change unless we find something genuinely hidden behind the wall and we call you first. Hit us at (561) 468-6136 for an exact quote. Estimates are free.
Why Westgate Homeowners Call Winslow Windows & Doors for Therma-Tru Work
We’ve been in business since 2011, and Ed Winslow grew up just off Hialeah Drive, close enough to Westgate that he still considers the neighborhood his backyard. When you call, you’re not getting a call center in another state. You’re getting a locally owned company with a published address, a license number, and an owner who answers the phone.
Our techs have installed and repaired enough Therma-Tru windows to know the difference between a roller that’s done and a track that’s still good, between a seal that failed and an installation that was never flashed right. And because we’re authorized installers for PGT, CGI, CWS, and ES Windows too, we’ll tell you honestly if a Therma-Tru unit is worth repairing or if you’re better served by a different product for your specific opening. We’re not married to one brand. We’re married to doing the job right. My name’s on the truck. If it’s not right, I’ll make it right.
FAQs
In most cases, no. We use OEM parts and follow Therma-Tru’s installation specifications when a unit is still under warranty. If your window is outside the warranty period, we’ll recommend the most cost-effective parts that won’t compromise the window’s performance. Call (561) 468-6136 with your model number and we’ll tell you exactly where you stand before scheduling anything.
Most single-window installations and repairs are finished the same day. Full-frame replacements of multiple windows may run two to three days depending on how many openings and what we find behind the old frames.
If the frame and hardware are sound, we replace only the insulated glass unit. That’s often $400 to $700 less than a full window swap. We’ll show you the frame condition during the estimate and you decide with real numbers in front of you.
Yes. Therma-Tru offers a defined palette of frame finishes and grid options, and we order to match what’s already in your home. On older or discontinued lines where an exact match isn’t manufactured anymore, we’ll tell you before ordering and show you the closest available option.
It won’t, unless we uncover damage inside the wall or framing that couldn’t be seen during the estimate, and we’d call you before doing anything extra. You approve the change first, in writing. No surprises on the invoice.
