Fast, Reliable Sliding & Patio Doors Across Westgate
Sliding and patio Door Installation - Westgate replacement runs $2,800 to $7,500 for a standard impact-rated unit installed, and $4,200 to $9,500 for a heavy-duty or multi-panel system. Most jobs take one to two days on site once the door arrives, but the permitting step through Palm Beach County can add a week or more if the paperwork is not filed correctly the first time. We know this because we do it here every week. If you live in Westgate and that old aluminum slider binds, fogs, or lets August heat pour in, call (786) 829-6722 and we will walk the job with you before you spend a dollar. TruePane Windows & Doors has been led by Dale Kessler since 2008, and our crews work the same Westgate streets you drive every day.
Why TruePane Windows & Doors Is Westgate’s Preferred Sliding & Patio Doors Company
The homes in Westgate are not like the homes ten minutes east. Most of them were built between 1950 and 1980 out of concrete block, and a lot of them still have the original jalousie windows and single-pane aluminum sliders the builder put in. Those openings were never square, and they were never framed for a modern impact-rated door. That is the first thing our crews check, because skipping it is how you end up with a county inspector red-tagging a door that cost you six thousand dollars. We measure every opening twice, quote manufacturer lines side by side on paper, and register both warranty layers in writing before the truck leaves the driveway. That is the Keystone Standard, and it applies to every job we do in Westgate, no exceptions.
We answer the phone with a live person 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Not a voicemail tree, not a callback form. When a Westgate homeowner calls at seven in the evening because a slider came off its track and the house is wide open, someone picks up. Our technicians are background-checked and uniformed, and they work in your home the way they would work in their own mother’s. That is not a slogan. It is the standard Dale Kessler set when he founded this company, and it is still on the whiteboard.
Most important for Westgate specifically: we know the county. Westgate is unincorporated Palm Beach County, which means every permit goes through the county’s Building Division, not a city building department. A contractor who does most of his work in West Palm Beach next door will file with the wrong jurisdiction and burn a week before anyone notices. We do not.

Our Sliding & Patio Doors Services in Westgate
Patio Sliding Doors
The bread and butter of Custom Windows & Doors in Westgate work. Most of the original sliders in this neighborhood are 60 to 72 inches wide, standard masonry openings, but rarely square after fifty years of concrete block settling. We re-frame the rough opening before we set the door, which is the difference between a door that slides with one finger and a door that binds in July. For a standard two-panel impact-rated patio slider in Westgate, expect $3,200 to $5,800 installed, depending on finish and glass package. A Marvin or Andersen unit will run toward the higher end and carry a better warranty, which matters when your insurance carrier asks for documentation.

Panoramic Sliding Systems
Westgate has its share of larger lots and a handful of properties with pool decks and lake frontage, and a multi-panel panoramic system is what turns a wall into a view. These are not the same animal as a standard slider. The track is wider, the header is heavier, and the engineering has to account for wind load across a much bigger span. In Westgate’s Wind-Borne Debris Region, that is not optional. A three-panel impact-rated panoramic system typically runs $8,000 to $14,000 here. We quote Pella and Marvin lines side by side so you see exactly what each dollar buys.

Heavy-Duty Sliding Doors
If you are building or converting a detached workshop, a garage, or an ADU on a larger Westgate lot, a heavy-duty slider is the right call. These doors sit on reinforced rollers and stainless tracks built for daily use and real weight. The county inspects these on outbuildings too, and we have seen red tags issued because someone skipped the permit and the inspector caught it during a septic or well setback review, which is a miserable way to lose a month. Heavy-duty sliders in Westgate run $4,200 to $8,000, and the quote includes the county permit and the inspection scheduling, because we do not leave that part to chance. We also handle Sliding & Patio Doors for main homes, so if the workshop door and the house door both need work, we can scope it as one job.

Pocket & Barn Doors
Pocket doors are a particular favorite in Westgate’s 1950s and 1960s ranch homes where hall space is tight and swinging doors waste square footage. The catch is that most original pocket hardware is gone or seized, and retrofitting a new pocket door into an interior wall that carries ceiling joists is not a weekend job. Barn doors are simpler and work well on heavier openings where you want the door fully out of the way. For a new pocket sliding door in Westgate, budget $1,800 to $3,500. For a quality interior barn door install, $1,200 to $2,400. We do both, and we will tell you which one actually fits your wall before we quote anything.

Trusted Brands We Service in Westgate
We are an authorized installer for more than a dozen manufacturer lines, and for Westgate homeowners the brands that matter most are. These three carry impact-rated glazing packages that satisfy Florida Building Code and give your insurance carrier a clean, documented file. We stock common replacement parts for these lines locally, and when a roller or a lock fails on an existing door, we can often repair it the same visit instead of ordering parts and leaving you with a door that will not close. We also service ViewLux systems for Westgate customers who bought one from another contractor and could never get a callback. If it was installed out of true, we will tell you, and we will tell you what it costs to make it right.
Common Sliding & Patio Doors Problems We See in Westgate Homes
- Corroded tracks from salt air. Westgate sits close enough to the Atlantic that salt-laden air eats at uncoated aluminum slider tracks. Within five to seven years, the rollers bind, the sash scrapes, and the seal in the jamb gives out. We see it most on original sliders that were never marine-grade to begin with.
- Out-of-square rough openings. Fifty-year-old concrete block settles. We have measured Westgate openings that were a half-inch out of square, and a factory-sized replacement door does not forgive that. It leaks air, fails the county wind-load inspection, and voids the manufacturer warranty. Re-framing fixes it.
- Fogged double-pane glass. That haze between the panes is a failed seal. The glass unit is shot, and no amount of cleaning brings it back. On an older aluminum frame it usually makes more sense to replace the whole door, because the frame has corroded anyway.
- Unpermitted add-on doors. A patio slider on a converted carport or a new ADU without a county permit might look fine for a while. Then the septic inspection or the well setback review happens, and the whole thing gets red-tagged. We pull the permit before we touch the wall.
Pricing for Sliding & Patio Doors in Westgate, FL
Here is what we tell Westgate homeowners when they ask what this costs. A standard two-panel impact-rated patio slider runs $3,200 to $5,800 installed.

FAQs - Sliding & Patio Doors in Westgate
Yes, every new or replacement sliding patio door in Westgate must meet Florida Building Code wind-load requirements, which means either impact-rated glazing or a compliant shutter system on the outside. In practice, most Westgate homeowners choose impact-rated glass because insurance carriers here want documentation that the opening itself is protected, and shutters only work if someone is home to deploy them before a storm. We handle Window Installation - Westgate with impact-rated Andersen, Pella, Marvin, and Milgard units and provide the paperwork your carrier needs. Call (786) 829-6722 and we will walk you through what the county will require on your specific opening.
The most common reason is the rough opening. If the door was set into an out-of-square 1950s concrete block opening without re-framing, the frame does not sit true, the fasteners do not meet the manufacturer’s spacing, and the inspector fails it on installation, not on the door itself. We see this on jobs where a contractor measured the old door and ordered the same size without checking the opening. In Westgate, where most homes are post-WWII CBS construction, that is a regular problem. We re-frame every opening that needs it and schedule the county inspection through the Palm Beach County portal the same day the door is set. Call (786) 829-6722 for an exact quote on your specific opening.
No. Westgate is unincorporated Palm Beach County, and the county requires a building permit for any structural opening, including a patio slider on a detached workshop or an ADU. Homeowners sometimes skip this and then get red-tagged during a septic or well setback inspection, which stops the whole project and can cost more than the door itself. We pull the permit through the county’s Building Division before we start, and we schedule the inspection as soon as the door is set. Call (786) 829-6722 before you buy the door, and we will tell you exactly what the county will ask for.
A pocket sliding door disappears into the wall cavity, which saves floor space and works well for interior rooms, but it requires framing the wall to carry the door’s weight and the hardware. A heavy-duty sliding door rides on reinforced exterior or interior tracks and is built for wider, heavier panels, which suits a lakefront home or an outbuilding where you want a wide opening and daily use. On Westgate acreage properties, we often recommend heavy-duty sliders for workshops and ADUs, and pocket doors for interior halls in the older ranch homes. The price difference is real: pocket doors run $1,800 to $3,500, heavy-duty sliders $4,200 to $8,000. Call (786) 829-6722 and we will tell you which one actually fits your wall before you spend anything.
Yes, fogged glass means the seal between the panes has failed and the insulating gas has escaped. The glass unit is dead, and it cannot be cleaned or repaired from the inside. On a newer door with a good frame, we can sometimes replace just the glass unit. On an older Westgate aluminum slider, the frame is usually corroded from salt air and the rollers are shot, so replacing the entire door is the honest fix. We will tell you which one you have and quote both options in writing. Call (786) 829-6722 for a free estimate.
