Fast, Reliable Custom Windows & Doors Across Westgate
Westgate Door Installation and window work runs $2,800-$18,000 depending on opening size, glass spec, and whether we’re re-framing masonry or setting into a prepared rough opening. Most jobs on the 1950s-1970s CBS homes here need county permits pulled through Palm Beach County Building Division, which we handle from the first measurement to final inspection. If you’re staring at an insurance non-renewal letter and original jalousie panels that won’t pass a wind-load check, call (786) 829-6722 and we’ll walk you through what actually has to happen, in what order, and what it costs before anyone touches a saw.
We’ve been setting custom windows and doors in Westgate long enough to know the difference between a county inspection portal and a city one, and long enough to know that on acreage off Westgate Avenue or down by the C-51 canal, drainage and access change the scope before the first measurement is even taken. That local knowledge keeps your project moving when insurance deadlines are not.
Why TruePane Windows & Doors Is Westgate’s Preferred Custom Windows & Doors Company
Dale Kessler founded TruePane in 2008 on a rule that still sits on the whiteboard in our shop: if the pane is not true, the job is not done. That rule matters more in Westgate than in a lot of South Florida, because the original window openings on these 1960s concrete block ranches were never framed for modern Impact Windows & Doors in Westgate. You need a crew that measures twice, understands load-bearing headers on CBS walls, and doesn’t flinch when the rough opening is a half-inch out of square. That’s the work we do every week here.
Our Custom Windows & Doors team works with background-checked, uniformed technicians who live in the county and have pulled hundreds of permits through Palm Beach County’s portal. We register both manufacturer warranty layers in writing before the truck leaves the driveway, and we back every install with the Done Right Promise. If something isn’t right, we make it right. No paperwork fights, no arguing, no fine print that covers neither.
Westgate homeowners call us because a live person answers around the clock, not a voicemail tree. They call because when a county inspector’s scheduling portal glitches, we know the workaround. And they call because we’ve spent years in this trade building a reputation that means something on a street where neighbors still talk over the fence about which contractor showed up on time and which one didn’t.
Our Custom Windows & Doors Services in Westgate
Custom Shape Windows
Arched, radius, trapezoid, octagon, eyebrow, full-round. If you can draw it, we can build it. On Westgate’s 1950s and 60s ranches, we often match a gable-end arched window or a mid-century picture window proportion that the original builder never intended to hold impact glass. That means custom templating, structural reinforcement on the CBS surround, and glazing that carries a Florida Product Approval number. A radius-top double-hung for a masonry opening runs $1,400-$4,200 installed, depending on laminate and low-E coatings.

Commercial Storefront Glazing
Westgate’s older storefronts and small offices along Westgate Avenue and Military Trail were built when single-pane aluminum and uninsulated glass were standard. Today’s code requires tempered and often impact-rated storefront systems, especially after storm damage or a failed insurance audit. We replace storefront framing, set ADA-compliant doors, and upgrade glazing to hurricane-rated packages without shutting your business down for a week. Typical storefront replacement runs $4,500-$14,000 depending on lineal footage and whether the existing frame is salvageable.

Curtain Wall Systems
For larger commercial and custom residential builds, we engineer and install curtain wall systems that meet Palm Beach County’s wind-borne debris requirements. On a Westgate lot with open exposure, negative wind pressure is higher than in a dense city block, so we specify stronger mullions and deeper anchor embedment than a downtown storefront would need. Material and labor for curtain wall typically runs $38-$85 per square foot of opening, with engineering stamped by a Florida-licensed professional.

Architectural Grilles & SDLs
Simulated divided lites and architectural grilles are the quiet detail that makes a 1950s ranch look intentional instead of replaced. We build interior and exterior SDLs into impact-rated units, matching the original mullion pattern so the house reads as original. For a Westgate homeowner who grew up with that grid pattern and wants to keep it, a Marvin or Andersen unit with custom SDLs in a standard double-hung runs $900-$1,800 per opening beyond the base window cost. We quote it side by side so you see exactly what the grid adds.

Oversized Glass Panels
Fixed picture windows, sliding glass walls, and view panels 8 feet wide or more are becoming the focal point of acreage remodels off Haverhill Road and down toward the canal. Setting a 600-pound insulated impact lite into a CBS wall requires a crane or a four-man glazing crew, proper header support if you’re widening the opening, and sealant joint details that survive Westgate’s salt-laden air without fogging in three seasons. Oversized fixed panels run $2,200-$7,500 per opening installed, more if the masonry needs structural re-framing.

Trusted Brands We Service in Westgate
We’re an authorized installer for more than a dozen manufacturer lines, and on Westgate jobs we most often quote side by side on paper so you can compare warranties, U-factor, and cost per square foot without a sales fog. If you already own a ViewLux window with a failed seal, our techs carry the seal kits and replacement IGUs to bring it back to spec without replacing the whole frame. We register every warranty layer in writing, so when a seal fails in year six, the claim is already on file.
Common Custom Windows & Doors Problems We See in Westgate Homes
- Insurance non-renewals over original jalousie and single-pane aluminum. Carriers are canceling policies across unincorporated Palm Beach County unless the homeowner documents impact-rated windows or shutters. Original jalousie panels fail every wind-load check, and the replacement opening usually has to be re-framed to accept modern glass.
- Salt-driven seal failure on non-marine-grade aluminum. Westgate sits close enough to the Atlantic that those salt-laden breezes push oxidation into cheap aluminum frames and fog IGUs fast. A budget install might last 8 years here where the same unit would last 15 in central Florida. We order marine-grade finishes and specify edge seals rated for coastal exposure.
- Crooked rough openings on 60-year-old CBS walls. Original masonry openings were laid by hand and they drift. A crew that doesn’t true the opening before setting a custom radius window ends up with a racked frame, a sticking sash, and a gap that leaks during summer storms. We flash every jamb with butyl tape and shim to level before the window ever enters the opening.
- Permit delays from contractors who file through the wrong jurisdiction. Westgate is unincorporated, so everything goes through Palm Beach County Building Division, not the City of West Palm Beach. A contractor who files through the city channel can stall a project for weeks, right when your insurance carrier gave you a 90-day deadline. We file through the county every time.
Pricing for Custom Windows & Doors in Westgate, FL
Here’s the straight talk on our Window Replacement in Westgate pricing. A standard impact-rated double-hung replacement in a prepared opening runs $850-$1,600 per window installed. Custom shapes and oversized panels run higher: $1,400-$4,200 for a radius-top, $2,200-$7,500 for a fixed lite over 8 feet wide.

FAQs - Custom Windows & Doors in Westgate
Yes, you need a Palm Beach County permit for any window or door replacement in Westgate, even when the rough opening stays the same size. The trigger is the product approval documentation for impact-rated glazing, not the framing change. Palm Beach County Building Division requires a permit and inspection for every exterior opening that gets replaced with a new product, because the inspector verifies the installation matches the Florida Building Code and the approved product’s installation instructions. We pull all permits through the county’s portal and schedule the inspections so final approval lands before your insurance cutoff. Call (786) 829-6722 and we’ll walk you through the timeline.
Re-framing the concrete block to accept modern impact-rated casements will not void your insurance discount, as long as the work is permitted, inspected, and the finished product carries a Florida Product Approval number with the proper NOA or product control approval on record. What voids the discount is leaving the original jalousie in place, or installing a non-impact window with a shutter system your carrier won’t recognize. The county inspector signs off on the re-framed opening and the new window; we register the product approval paperwork with your policy documents so your carrier has what it needs to keep the discount on the policy. Call (786) 829-6722 for an exact scope and quote.
Oversized glass panels on a detached ADU or shop in Westgate need different flashing because the opening is wider, the glass is heavier, and the sill carries more water volume during a summer downpour than a standard 3-foot window. The flashing has to handle expansion and contraction across a 10-foot span without tearing, and on a shop or ADU that sits on an open lot with drainage slopes, the sill pan has to move water away from the opening fast enough to keep the threshold dry. We use butyl tape on the jambs, a sloped sill pan under the glass, and a back dam on the interior so water that gets past the exterior seal has a second exit. Call (786) 829-6722 and we’ll show you the flashing detail before we quote.
Yes. We can match the original mullion pattern on your 1950s Westgate ranch with architectural grilles built into impact-rated Andersen, Pella, or Marvin units. This is done with simulated divided lites, either between the glass or applied to the interior and exterior, and the pattern is templated from your existing windows before ordering. The cost runs $900-$1,800 per opening beyond the base window price, and we quote it side by side on paper so you see what the grid pattern adds. Call (786) 829-6722 for a free written estimate with the grille spec included.
Once materials arrive on site, expect 1-2 days per opening for standard replacements, and 3-5 days for custom oversize or multiple-opening jobs that require masonry re-framing. On an acreage property off Westgate Avenue or Haverhill Road, the variable is not the labor but the county inspection schedule and crane access if we’re setting a 600-pound lite. A complete single-story replacement with ten to twelve windows and two doors typically runs 5-8 working days from first opening to final inspection, assuming the county’s portal cooperates and the weather holds. We sequence the work so your home is never open to weather at night, and we’re on site every day until the final inspection passes. Call (786) 829-6722 and we’ll give you a week-by-week schedule for your specific job.
