AfterFast, Reliable Door Installation Across Westgate
Door installation in Westgate means something specific here. Most homes in this unincorporated Palm Beach County community are single-story CBS builds from the 1950s through the mid-1980s, and a lot of them still have their original sliding glass doors and jalousie openings. Those openings are undersized by today’s rough-opening standards, which means full-frame replacement is the norm here, not the exception. Our crews work Westgate regularly. We know the concrete block and stucco construction, the county permitting process, and the wind-mitigation paperwork that comes with every impact-rated install. If you need a new entry door, French doors, or a replacement for that old slider, call (813) 320-9346 and we’ll come out, measure, and give you a written line-item quote before any work starts.
Why TruePane Windows & Doors Is Westgate’s Preferred Door Installation Company
TruePane has been installing doors in Florida since 2008, and founder Dale Kessler built the company in 2008 on a rule that still governs every job: if the pane is not true, the job is not done. In Westgate, that means we treat a 1960s CBS wall the way it actually is, concrete, stucco, and often out of square after decades of slab settling. We do not sell insert replacements into openings that will not pass county wind-load review. We tell homeowners what a full-frame job actually requires before we quote, not after the inspector leaves.
Our Door Installation team works on the same standard across every project: both manufacturer warranty layers registered in writing before the truck leaves your driveway, and a 90-Day Done Right Promise that covers the workmanship with no paperwork fights if something is off. The crew that shows up in Westgate is background-checked and uniformed, and they measure every opening twice before any material gets ordered. When you call TruePane, a live person answers the phone 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Not a voicemail tree, not a regional call center.
Our Door Installation Services in Westgate
Entry & Swing Doors
Most Westgate entry doors are original to the house, which means 40 to 70 years of heat, humidity, and hurricane-season wind have done their work. We install new pre-hung entry doors with impact-rated glass where required, and we cut the rough opening correctly the first time. On a CBS wall, that means careful stucco saw-cutting, re-flashing with butyl tape, and patching to match the existing finish. A new entry door in Westgate typically runs $1,800 to $4,200 depending on door material, glazing, and whether the existing frame needs to be rebuilt.
Double & French Doors
French doors on a Westgate slab home come with a drainage conversation. Many of these lots have shifted over decades, and the slab is no longer perfectly level. We check the threshold, the sill pan, and the drainage path before we order anything. If water has been pooling at the door line during summer convective storms, that gets corrected as part of the install, not as a change order later. Double and French door replacement in Westgate generally ranges from $3,200 to $7,500 depending on width, glass package, and framing work.
Bifold & Folding Doors
Bifold and folding door systems are a bigger job on CBS homes because the opening almost always needs to be widened. That means cutting concrete block, installing a proper header, and getting county approval on the structural change. We handle the full scope: engineering where it is required, permit paperwork, and the install itself. For Westgate homeowners, this type of project typically starts around $5,500 and can run upward of $12,000 for wider multi-panel systems with impact glazing.
Pivot Doors
Pivot doors are uncommon in original Westgate homes, but they show up on remodels and custom builds. They are heavy, and on a concrete block home, the pivot hinge needs proper blocking or steel reinforcement. We pre-scope the wall before quoting so the price you see covers the actual structural work. Pivot door installs in Westgate start around $4,800 and go up from there based on door size, weight, and finish.

Trusted Brands We Service in Westgate
We are an authorized installer for more than a dozen manufacturer lines, including PGT, CGI, and Ply Gem. For Westgate homes, PGT and CGI come up often because their impact-rated products are approved under Florida Product Approval, which is the standard Palm Beach County requires for inland wind zones like Westgate’s 140 to 150 mph design wind speeds. We stock common parts and hardware for local inventory, and because we quote manufacturer lines side by side on paper, you see exactly what you are buying before you commit. No vague “premium upgrade” talk. Just the spec sheet and the price.
Common Door Installation Problems We See in Westgate Homes
- Undersized 1970s sliding doors force full-frame tear-out. Insert replacements will not meet current wind-load or egress codes, so homeowners who planned a lower-cost insert job face stucco and framing work they didn’t budget for.
- Septic and well setbacks on acreage limit where a new exterior door can go. Adding a door without a county site plan review can fail final inspection, leaving a rough opening exposed to storms. We check setbacks before we quote.
- Grading and drainage on open lots shift over decades. Slab settlement racks door frames, so new installations must include leveling and sill pan correction or the door will bind and leak within two seasons.
- Jalousie doors cannot be retrofit into code compliance. The louvered glass openings common on 1950s and 60s Westgate homes have to come out entirely. Film and shutters do not satisfy Palm Beach County for these units. The only legal path is removal and replacement with an impact-rated door.

FAQs - Door Installation in Westgate
Because the rough openings on 1970s-era sliding glass doors in Westgate CBS homes are undersized by modern wind-load and egress codes. An insert replacement fits inside the existing frame, but the existing frame itself does not meet current Palm Beach County requirements. Full-frame tear-out and replacement with a properly flashed, code-compliant unit is the only path that passes inspection. In a 1963 CBS home off Haverhill Road, our crew replaced a corroded jalousie door leading to a screened porch with a new impact-rated swing door. We had to widen the rough opening to fit a modern pre-hung unit, re-flash the jamb with butyl flashing tape, and patch the surrounding stucco, all before the county inspector arrived to verify the wind-mitigation upgrade for the homeowner’s Citizens Insurance policy. That is the standard scope, not the exception. Call (813) 320-9346 and we will scope your opening before quoting.
Yes, but only if the door location respects septic and well setbacks and the site plan gets county review before the work starts. Westgate is unincorporated Palm Beach County, so there is no city permitting office. The county reviews structural changes, egress, and wind-load compliance. If the new door opening is too close to a septic drain field or well head, the permit will fail. We check setbacks and site conditions during the free estimate, and we pull the permit and handle the county inspection. Call (813) 320-9346 to schedule the site visit.
A new impact-rated entry door, installed to current Florida Product Approval standards, qualifies as a wind-mitigation feature and can trigger a Citizens Insurance premium discount. The exact savings depend on your policy and the other mitigation features on the house, but we register both manufacturer warranty layers and provide the wind-mitigation paperwork your insurer needs. TruePane gives you that paperwork at completion, not weeks later. Call (813) 320-9346 for an exact door quote, and bring the quote to your agent to see the premium impact.
Full removal of the jalousie unit, widening the rough opening in the CBS wall to fit a modern pre-hung door, re-flashing the jamb, installing the new impact-rated door, and patching stucco around the frame. Jalousie doors on 1950s Westgate homes are not code-compliant for wind load and cannot be film-treated or shuttered into compliance. The only legal replacement is a full unit swap. We handle the entire scope including the county inspection. Call (813) 320-9346 and we will pre-inspect before quoting so the number you see is the price you pay.
Often yes. Westgate lots sit on a mix of flat, sandy soil and decades of shifting, and many slab homes have settled enough that the original door threshold no longer drains away from the house. A new French door install should include leveling the opening, correcting the sill pan, and ensuring positive drainage before the door goes in. If that step is skipped, the door binds and water finds its way inside during the first good storm. We scope drainage during the free estimate and include any correction in the written quote. Call (813) 320-9346 to schedule yours.
