Call (850) 801-5596 and we’ll give you a written, line-item quote before you commit to anything.
We know Westgate’s streets: Okeechobee Boulevard traffic at 5 p.m., the concrete block duplexes off Haverhill Road, the post-war single-family homes with jalousie windows that have been leaking air since the Nixon administration. Our Impact Windows & Doors crews work this neighborhood weekly. When you call, a person answers – not a voicemail tree – and that person can tell you whether your specific 1968 CBS home falls under Palm Beach County’s wind-borne debris region or the stricter Miami-Dade standard. It matters for your quote.
Why TruePane Windows & Doors Is Westgate’s Preferred Impact Windows & Doors Company
TruePane was founded in 2008 by second-generation glazier Dale Kessler, and the company carries years of craft heritage through its team. We’re not a franchise operation that parachutes into a zip code. We hire local, train apprentices into journeymen, and answer the phone like a company that plans to be in Palm Beach County thirty years from now.
Westgate customers consistently tell us three things: the crew showed up when they said, the quote had no surprise line items, and when a county inspector flagged something, TruePane handled the correction without a fight. That third one matters more here than most contractors admit. Because Westgate is unincorporated, permits run through the Palm Beach County Building Division rather than a municipal desk. We know that workflow, we know how long county plan review takes on a wind mitigation retrofit, and we build that timeline into the schedule so you’re not left wondering.
Every job carries the Done Right Promise and The Keystone Standard: both manufacturer warranty layers registered in writing, durations stated, before the truck leaves your driveway. If the pane is not true, the job is not done. Dale Kessler keeps that rule on the whiteboard for a reason.
Our Impact Windows & Doors Services in Westgate
Hurricane Impact Windows
Most Westgate homes were built between 1950 and 1975, and the original rough openings were framed for thin-gauge aluminum single-pane windows. Retrofitting Simonton or Jeld-Wen impact-rated double-hungs into those openings almost always requires some buck work – pressure-treated lumber set into the existing concrete block to give the new, thicker frame profile a true surface to anchor against. We do that reframing in-house. We don’t subcontract it, and we don’t leave the rough opening sloppy and call it good.
Typical cost for a standard 36″ x 48″ impact-rated single-hung in Westgate runs $900-$1,200 installed, including the buck work, flashing, and county inspection coordination.
Impact Sliding Glass Doors
If your Westgate home has a Florida room or a covered patio, you likely have an old aluminum slider that binds in July and lets afternoon thunderstorm humidity straight into the wall cavity. Our Impact Windows & Doors team replaces those with impact-rated sliders using fusion-welded frames and stainless steel rollers, sized to the opening and tested to the wind-load requirements for Palm Beach County’s wind-borne debris region. A typical 2-panel impact slider runs $3,800-$5,200 installed in Westgate, depending on glass package and whether we need to reframe the header.
Impact Entry & French Doors
Entry doors are the most common wind mitigation inspection failure we see in Westgate: a 1960s wood door with single-pane sidelights, no impact rating, and hinges that have sagged a quarter inch. We install impact-rated fiberglass and steel entry systems with rated glass packages, and we flash the rough opening properly because in this humidity, an improperly flashed door frame rots from the inside out in five years.
Impact-rated French doors with sidelights commonly run $3,600-$5,400 in this market, including the new door slab, rated glass, hardware, and weather sealing.
Impact Garage Doors
Garage doors are the largest unrated opening on a Westgate home, and wind mitigation inspectors know it. When a 140 mph gust pushes a non-rated double-wide garage door inward, the roof deck over the garage becomes a sail. We install impact-rated garage doors and brace assemblies, and we coordinate the wind-load documentation your insurance agent needs. Expect $2,900-$4,800 for a double-wide impact-rated garage door with reinforcement posts and county-required documentation.

Common Impact Windows & Doors Problems We See in Westgate Homes
- Corroded 1950s-70s aluminum frames that won’t lock. Original weatherstripping has failed, humidity drives condensation between the sash and jamb, and the hardware corrodes until the window won’t seal or lock. Wind mitigation inspectors flag this immediately – a window that won’t lock is a non-protected opening.
- Jalousie windows passing wind and driven rain. Still common across Westgate, jalousie units flex under wind load and let rain into the wall cavity, causing hidden rot in the buck framing that only shows up when we pull the unit for an impact retrofit.
- Seal failures on early-2000s “upgraded” units. Homeowners who replaced original windows with non-impact insulated glass in the 2000s often find the argon has leaked out and the seal failed. Fog between the panes isn’t just cosmetic – a wind mitigation inspector flags it as a non-rated opening, which means you’re paying again for a proper impact-rated replacement.
- Undeclared non-permitted replacements causing inspection hold-ups. Some Westgate homes had windows swapped decades ago without county permits. When we pull those units for an impact retrofit, we work with the Palm Beach County Building Division to bring the opening into compliance – adding a paperwork step out-of-area contractors routinely miss.

FAQs - Impact Windows & Doors in Westgate
No. Westgate sits in Palm Beach County’s wind-borne debris region, not the stricter High-Velocity Hurricane Zone of Miami-Dade and Broward, so impact products must meet Florida Building Code wind-load ratings but do not require Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance (NOA) approval. That means a broader – and often less expensive – product tier is legally available to Westgate homeowners. Call (850) 801-5596 and we’ll quote products appropriate to your exact wind-load zone.
Westgate is unincorporated Palm Beach County, so all window and door replacement permits run through the Palm Beach County Building Division rather than any municipal building desk. This affects inspection scheduling and plan review timelines, which we build directly into your project schedule. Out-of-area contractors are often surprised by this workflow; we’re not.
Most of the time, no – and that’s not a problem if the installer plans for it. Jalousie and thin aluminum units from the 1950s through the 1970s were set into rough openings sized for thinner frame profiles. New impact-rated windows have thicker frames, so we typically install pressure-treated bucks to anchor them true to the concrete block. It’s standard reframing for this housing stock, and it’s already included in the quote we give you. Call (850) 801-5596 for a free estimate that accounts for it.
In Westgate specifically, the premium reduction on a wind mitigation report showing no opening-protection deficiency often pays back the glass package faster than in wealthier neighboring markets because the insurance savings are measured against working-class home values. We provide the documentation your insurer needs, and we coordinate with the inspector so every opening is rated. An exact dollar figure depends on your carrier, your current policy, and your home’s overall wind mitigation score, but a typical 1960s CBS home with full impact-rated openings can see a meaningful annual reduction. Your agent can run the numbers once our work is done.
Yes. Impact-rated window and door units are available with wood interior trim profiles that preserve the look of the original architecture, and we commonly pair them with custom millwork on higher-end Westgate projects. The frame strength and laminated glass are rated to Palm Beach County wind loads; the trim is cosmetic and can be matched to the home’s original character. We quote manufacturer lines side by side on paper, including Simonton and Milgard, so you see exactly what you’re buying. Call (850) 801-5596 to schedule a free estimate.
