AfterFast, Reliable Window Replacement Across Westgate
If you live in Westgate, you already know the drill: the house is CBS block and stucco, built sometime between Eisenhower and Carter, and the windows are original jalousies or single-pane aluminum sliders that rattle when the wind picks up in August. You’re not looking for a sales pitch. You’re looking for a crew that understands Palm Beach County’s wind-load code, can pull a county permit without drama, and will give you a written quote that covers what actually needs doing, not what’s easy. We’ve been doing exactly that for Westgate homeowners for years. Call (813) 320-9346 and we’ll send a technician who measures every opening twice before you ever see a number.
Why TruePane Windows & Doors Is Westgate’s Preferred Window Replacement Company
TruePane Windows & Doors was founded by Dale Kessler on a rule that still hangs in the shop: if the pane is not true, the job is not done. That’s the standard our background-checked, uniformed technicians bring to every Westgate job, whether it’s a two-window full-frame swap or a whole-house impact upgrade. We don’t subcontract the work to a crew that’s never seen a 1950s jalousie pocket. Our own people do it, and we register both warranty layers in writing before the truck leaves your driveway.
Westgate sits outside any city’s jurisdiction, which means every impact-window replacement runs through Palm Beach County permitting, not a municipal building department. That’s not a complication for us; it’s the regular order of business. We pull the permit, we schedule the county inspection, and we hand you the wind-load documentation your Citizens Insurance agent needs for a wind-mitigation credit. A live person answers our phone 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. No callback forms, no regional call center, no voicemail tree. You call, a person picks up.
We’ve been in this trade since 2008 through our founder’s heritage, and we hire local people, train apprentices into journeymen, and stand behind the work with a Done Right Promise. If something’s not right, we make it right. No paperwork fights, no fine print that covers neither. That’s what a square deal looks like in Westgate.
Our Window Replacement Services in Westgate
Full Frame Replacement
This is the backbone of what we do in Westgate, and there’s a reason for it. The original jalousie windows in 1950s and 1960s CBS homes cannot be retrofitted to meet Palm Beach County’s current wind-load requirements. You can’t shutter them into compliance, and you can’t film-treat them into compliance. The only legal path is full removal, infill, and replacement with a Florida Product Approved impact unit. That means cutting the old frame out to the rough opening, re-patching stucco returns with flashing tape at every jamb, and setting a new window that carries the right label. A typical full-frame impact replacement in Westgate runs $1,100 to $2,300 per opening depending on size and product line.
Insert Window Replacement
Insert windows make sense in the right situation: where the existing frame is still square, the rough opening was never violated, and the wall hasn’t taken on moisture at the sill. In Westgate, that’s a smaller share of homes than people expect, because the 1960s and 1970s aluminum sliders have almost always corroded at the jamb or pulled away from the stucco. When the frame is good, an insert replacement runs $800 to $1,600 per opening. When it isn’t, we’ll tell you honestly and quote full-frame instead. We don’t quote the cheap option just to win the bid and leave you with a leak at the first afternoon storm.
Storm Window Replacement
Westgate sits in Palm Beach County’s inland wind zone with design wind speeds in the 140 to 150 mph range. That’s serious wind, but it’s not Miami-Dade’s High-Velocity Hurricane Zone, which means products need Florida Product Approval rather than the stricter NOA. In practice, that gives Westgate homeowners a meaningful break on product cost without giving up storm protection. A storm-rated impact window in Westgate runs $1,200 to $2,600 per opening installed, and every job includes the wind-load documentation your insurance company wants. We’ve replaced windows on Westgate homes where the old glass had already cracked from wind pressure against a corroded frame.
Energy-Efficient Upgrade
The single-pane aluminum sliders that cover so many Westgate homes are thermal sieves. The aluminum conducts heat straight into the house, and the single lite offers almost no resistance to the afternoon sun off Haverhill Road or the long summer afternoons off Belvedere Road. A low-E, argon-filled, fusion-welded double-hung changes the feel of a bedroom by eight or ten degrees in the afternoon and cuts the air-conditioning load meaningfully. Expected cost for an energy-efficient full-frame replacement in Westgate runs $1,000 to $2,100 per opening. The savings show up on the FPL bill and on the insurance premium when the wind-mitigation credit processes.

Common Window Replacement Problems We See in Westgate Homes
- Jalousies that can’t be made compliant. The louvered glass style that went into so many 1950s and 1960s Westgate homes cannot be shuttered or filmed into Palm Beach County code compliance. Full removal and replacement is the only legal fix, and we tell homeowners this before any money changes hands.
- Corroded aluminum frames in stucco pockets. Forty or fifty years of humid air and salt-laced wind corrodes the original aluminum frames inside the stucco. By the time you see rust at the sill, the frame has likely lost its grip on the wall, and an insert window over that frame is throwing good money after bad.
- Undersized 1970s slider openings. The single-track sliding glass doors installed in 1970s-era Florida rooms in Westgate are often undersized by modern rough-opening standards. A contractor who crams a new impact unit into the old hole without proper flashing at the sill and jamb hands you a leak at the first afternoon thunderstorm.
- Missing or illegible product approval stickers. When a homeowner files a Citizens wind-mitigation inspection and the approval stickers on the insulated glass units are missing or illegible, the insurance company discounts the claim or denies the premium credit entirely. Documentation matters as much as the install.
Pricing for Window Replacement in Westgate, FL
Window replacement in Westgate runs the full range depending on what’s coming out and what’s going in. A straightforward insert into a sound frame costs $800 to $1,600 per opening. A full-frame impact replacement, which is what most Westgate homes actually need, runs $1,100 to $2,600 per opening. A whole-house job on a three-bedroom CBS ranch typically lands between $9,000 and $18,000. What moves the number: the size of the rough opening, whether stucco re-patching is required (it almost always is here), the product line you choose, and whether we’re pulling a county permit with wind-load documentation, which is standard on our impact jobs. We give you a written line-item quote before the work starts, and we don’t pad the bill with surprise change orders.

FAQs - Window Replacement in Westgate
No. Jalousie windows, the louvered glass style common across 1950s and 1960s Westgate homes, cannot be shuttered, filmed, or retrofitted into Palm Beach County wind-load compliance. The only legal path is full removal and replacement with a Florida Product Approved impact unit. Anyone who tells you otherwise is selling something that will not pass a county inspection. Call (813) 320-9346 and we’ll pre-inspect before quoting, so you know exactly what you’re dealing with.
Because Westgate falls outside any city’s jurisdiction, any impact-window replacement is governed directly by Palm Beach County permitting and wind-load documentation, not a municipal building department. The permit is what verifies the new windows meet the county’s design wind-speed requirements. A contractor who skips the permit is handing you non-compliant work, and your insurance company will find out if you ever file a claim. We pull the permit, schedule the inspection, and hand you the paper trail. Call (813) 320-9346 for an exact quote.
Yes, in most cases. When your impact windows are installed with proper wind-load documentation, the job triggers a Citizens wind-mitigation inspection, and the resulting credit often reduces the premium enough to cover the monthly financing on the windows themselves. In cost-sensitive Westgate, that’s the argument that makes the job make sense. We stage every impact job so the county inspector can sign off the wind-load paperwork before you submit the Citizens form. Call (813) 320-9346 to walk through what your quote would include.
You need it on every opening, not just the street-facing ones. Palm Beach County’s wind-load requirements apply to the whole building envelope. The back bedroom windows take the same 140 to 150 mph design wind speeds as the front, and during a storm, wind pressure doesn’t care which side of the house faces the street. A partial impact job still leaves the house non-compliant, which means no wind-mitigation credit from Citizens. Call (813) 320-9346 for a free estimate on the full scope.
A compliant quote should include the product line and model, the Florida Product Approval number for the specific unit, the design pressure rating, the permit cost, the county inspection scheduling, and a written statement that both warranty layers will be registered in writing before the crew leaves. If a quote doesn’t list the Florida Product Approval number and the permit, it’s not a compliant quote. That’s the difference between a square deal and a cheap one. Ours includes all of it, every time. Call (813) 320-9346 and ask for it in writing.
On a 1962 CBS ranch off Haverhill Road, our crew pulled out the original jalousie windows in the three bedrooms and the single-track aluminum slider in the Florida room. The jalousies’ aluminum frames had corroded into the stucco, and two of the sliders’ glass lites were already cracked from wind pressure. We full-frame replaced everything with impact-rated, fusion-welded frame double-hungs with low-E glass and argon fill, re-patched the stucco returns with flashing tape at every jamb, and staged the job so the county inspector could sign off the wind-load paperwork before the homeowner submitted the Citizens wind-mitigation form. That’s a normal Tuesday in Westgate for us.
If your windows are fogged, corroded, cracked, or just forty years too old, call TruePane Windows & Doors at (813) 320-9346. A live person answers, we schedule a free estimate, and you get a written line-item quote with the permit and wind-load documentation included. The work is backed by the Done Right Promise and The Keystone Standard. If the pane is not true, the job is not done.
