Why TruePane Windows & Doors Is Westgate’s Preferred Sliding & Patio Doors Company

We’ve been working on Westgate homes long enough to know what holds up and what doesn’t. The concrete block construction that dominates this community is solid, but the window and door openings cut into that block in the 1950s and 1960s were sized for a different product era. Original aluminum sliders and jalousie windows don’t meet Palm Beach County’s current wind-load requirements, and patch repairs won’t change that. Our technicians measure twice, quote manufacturer lines side by side on paper, and register both warranty layers in writing before the truck leaves your driveway.

Dale Kessler founded this company in 2008 on a rule that still governs every install: if the pane is not true, the job is not done. We hire local, train apprentices into journeymen, and show up in uniform with background-checked crews. Westgate customers get the same standard on a $300 repair or a $9,000 panoramic slider replacement: a square deal on pricing, no surprise line items, and a 90-Day Done Right Promise in writing.

Our Sliding & Patio Doors Services in Westgate

Our Sliding & Patio Doors team handles everything from single-track retrofits to full multiple-panel systems. Four services matter most in Westgate’s housing stock, and they’re covered below.

Patio Sliding Doors

Standard patio sliders are the workhorse replacement on Westgate’s single-story CBS homes. Most of these houses were built with a six-foot aluminum single-track door off the back patio or Florida room. Modern impact-rated replacements from Andersen, PGT, or ES Windows run wider, seal tighter, and meet current county wind-load code. We do full-frame Door Installation - Westgate rather than insert work on nearly every patio door, because the original rough openings are almost always undersized and the stucco around them needs re-patching anyway.

Panoramic Sliding Systems

For Westgate homeowners on larger lots, a panoramic sliding system opens the back of the house to the yard in a way a standard six-foot slider never will. Multi-panel systems with low-profile tracks and impact-rated glass give you ten to sixteen feet of clear opening. These jobs require structural header review, and on unincorporated county property that means plan review through Palm Beach County’s building department, not a city desk. We handle that paperwork as part of the quote.

Heavy-Duty Sliding Doors

On Westgate acreage, heavy-duty sliders are common on workshop entrances, detached garages, and pool enclosures. These openings are bigger, the panels weigh more, and the track hardware has to handle daily use in high humidity and salt air. We spec heavy extruded frames and stainless roller assemblies that won’t corrode the way the original zinc hardware did. If your outbuilding has a slider that’s come off its track more than once, that’s the unit we’d replace first.

Pocket & Barn Doors

Pocket and barn door conversions are growing in Westgate’s older homes because they free up wall and floor space that a swinging patio door ate up for fifty years. A pocket slider tucks into the wall cavity and disappears entirely. A barn-style door rides on an exterior track and works where a pocket isn’t possible because of blocking, wiring, or a septic line too close to the wall. Both get the same wind-load treatment: impact glass, reinforced frames, and county-compliant flashing.

Trusted Brands We Service in Westgate

We’re authorized installers for more than a dozen manufacturer lines, and most Westgate jobs use Andersen, ES Windows, or PGT products. That matters because these brands all carry Florida Product Approval, which Westgate requires under county code. We keep a rolling inventory of common track assemblies, roller kits, and weatherseal for these lines, which means a replacement part doesn’t have to ship from a distribution center before a repair can be scheduled. When you call for a quote, we’ll show you line-item pricing for at least two manufacturers side by side so you can see the difference in cost and warranty length before you decide. The 90-Day Done Right Promise applies to every install no matter which brand you choose, and both warranty layers get registered in writing before we leave the site.

Common Sliding & Patio Doors Problems We See in Westgate Homes

• Fogged insulated glass (IG) units from water splash. Homes with open drainage swales and no gutters get roof runoff splashing onto the bottom track of patio sliders every time it rains. That standing water works its way into the seal, the argon escapes, and within a few years you’re looking through fog. This is the single most common failure we replace in Westgate.
• Jalousie rust staining into slider jambs. The louvered jalousie windows so common on 1950s and 1960s Westgate homes leak wind-driven rain into the rough opening next to patio sliders. Over decades, that moisture rots the jamb, and if the jalousies sit directly beside the slider, the damage is usually hidden until the door starts binding.
• Narrow jambs that can’t take a modern impact frame. OEM single-track sliders from the 1970s were set into rough openings that are simply too narrow for today’s impact-rated units. A panel swap won’t solve it. The opening needs full-width stucco cutting, new bucking, and re-flashing to accept a code-compliant frame.
• Track wear on heavy-use doors. Westgate homes with pool access see hundreds of slider cycles a week during the summer. The original steel rollers wear flat spots, the track delaminates, and eventually the door jumps the rail. On an impact-rated door, a jumped track can leave you with an open six-foot hole in a storm.

How Palm Beach County Permitting, Citizens Insurance, and Septic Setbacks Shape a Westgate Sliding Door Job

Westgate is unincorporated Palm Beach County, which means a sliding door replacement here follows a different set of rules than a job twenty minutes east inside a city’s jurisdiction. The county requires a permit for any structural door replacement where the rough opening changes or where you’re moving up to an impact-rated product. The 140-150 mph design wind speeds here are serious, but Westgate sits outside Miami-Dade and Broward’s High-Velocity Hurricane Zone, so products need Florida Product Approval rather than the stricter Miami-Dade NOA. That’s a meaningful break on product cost and availability, and it’s one of the reasons a Westgate impact-slider job typically runs less than the same job on the coast.

The insurance piece matters more here than almost anywhere else, and it’s the thing a generic patio door page never tells you. A large share of Westgate homeowners carry Citizens Insurance policies that require wind-mitigation credits to keep premiums manageable. Replacing an old slider with an impact-rated unit doesn’t just check the wind-mitigation box - it forces the inspection that documents it. We schedule that inspection for you right after install, and for many of our Westgate customers the premium reduction is large enough to offset the monthly financing cost of the door itself. It’s not a small line item; for a homeowner on a fixed income, it can be the deciding factor.

Then there’s the acreage side of Westgate. Homes out past the original core sit on larger lots with septic systems and wells, and those setbacks are real constraints the county enforces on permits. You can’t put a new sliding door opening within a certain distance of a septic tank, drainfield, or well head without triggering a health department review, and an outbuilding with a slider on the wrong side of the lot can throw your whole permit into delay. Our team checks the site plan before we quote so you don’t pay for a design the county won’t approve.

One recent job sticks with us. Our crew replaced a 1970s-era single-track aluminum slider in a CBS ranch near Westgate Avenue with a heavy-duty impact-rated sliding door from Andersen. The original jamb had severe seal failure - fog between the panes meant the argon was long gone - and the rough opening was undersized by modern standards, so we did a full-frame replacement with flashing tape, stucco re-patching, and a new insulated glass unit with low-E glass and argon fill. Because the homeowner had Citizens Insurance, we scheduled the wind-mitigation inspection right after install, and the premium reduction made the monthly financing work for them.
