Fast, Reliable Window Replacement Across Westgate
Window replacement in Westgate usually means pulling out a 50-year-old single-pane aluminum frame or a jalousie unit and setting a code-compliant, impact-rated window in its place. Most full-frame jobs in this community run $850 to $1,900 per opening depending on size, glazing, and what we find behind the old frame. We work Westgate every week, and we know what Palm Beach County’s Building Division expects before we ever touch the wall. That’s the difference between a job that passes inspection the first time and one that drags on for weeks. Call (754) 339-0784 and we’ll walk you through what your house actually needs.
Why TruePane Windows & Doors Is Westgate’s Preferred Window Replacement Company
Most of the homes we open up in Westgate were built between the mid-1950s and the late 1970s, and many still carry their original windows. That means we’re not guessing when we talk to you about rotten jambs, failed flashing, or jalousie units your insurer has started to flag. We’ve seen it on Okeechobee Boulevard, in the streets off Haverhill Road, and throughout the neighborhoods that sit between the Turnpike and Military Trail. Our Window Replacement crew measures every opening twice, writes both manufacturer warranty durations on your quote in plain language, and registers those warranties before the truck leaves your driveway. That’s The Keystone Standard, and we don’t do a job without it.
TruePane was founded by Dale Kessler, a second-generation glazier who still keeps one rule on the whiteboard: if the pane is not true, the job is not done. We hire local, train apprentices into journeymen, and act like a company that plans to be in Westgate thirty years from now. Every installer who walks through your door is background-checked and uniformed. Every quote is itemized on paper so you see exactly what you’re paying for. And a live person answers our phone 24 hours a day, seven days a week. No voicemail tree, no callback form.
Our Window Replacement Services in Westgate
Different houses need different approaches. A 1958 CBS ranch with original jalousies is not the same job as a 1970s two-story with aluminum sliders, and we quote them differently. Here’s what we do most often in Westgate.
Full Frame Replacement
When the old window comes out and the rough opening is rotten, undersized, or out of square, an insert won’t do. Full frame replacement means we remove the entire old unit, rebuild or repair the opening, flash it properly, and set the new window as if the house were new construction. In Westgate, this is the norm rather than the exception. The 1960s CBS homes off Haverhill Road were built fast and weathered hard, and the wood jambs behind those original aluminum frames are often gone to rot or termites. We’ll show you what we find before we quote the fix.

Insert Window Replacement
If the existing frame is square, dry, and structurally sound, an insert window can be set inside it without tearing out the interior trim or stucco. It’s less invasive and costs less. But on a Westgate home with original 1960s aluminum frames, we’ll only recommend an insert after we’ve inspected the opening. Oxidation and pitting from decades of Palm Beach County humidity can hide water damage that an insert would seal in, not fix. We’d rather tell you the truth than sell you a shortcut that fails in five years.

Storm Window Replacement
Westgate sits 15 to 20 miles inland, but that doesn’t mean the wind stops at the coast. Florida property insurers underwrite to wind-load standards no matter where your house is, and homes with non-impact glazing are getting harder to insure every year. We replace old storm-damaged and non-impact windows with impact-rated units that meet current Palm Beach County code. On a 1963 CBS home near Okeechobee Boulevard, our crew pulled out three original jalousie windows in the bedrooms, rebuilt rotted jambs, flashed the openings with butyl tape, and set impact-rated double-hung units from Simonton. The job passed Palm Beach County’s inspection the first time.

Energy-Efficient Upgrade
Original single-pane windows in Westgate bleed conditioned air into Palm Beach County’s humidity for six months of the year. The upgrade path usually means dual-pane insulated glass with a low U-factor and a low solar heat gain coefficient. We quote manufacturer lines side by side so you can compare the numbers, not just the brand name. For a 1,200-square-foot CBS home, replacing every original window with a mid-tier dual-pane unit typically cuts the cooling load noticeably, and the windows pay for themselves over a decade of summers. We’ll show you the math on paper.

Common Window Replacement Problems We See in Westgate Homes
- Rotted wood jambs behind original jalousie and aluminum frames. We find this on probably half the homes we open up. The fix is reframing before the new window can be set, and it’s a line item we can’t see until the old frame is out.
- Missing or failed flashing that lets water run inside the CBS wall. Builders in the 1950s and 1960s used caulk and luck instead of butyl tape. We flash every new opening to current code so the leak doesn’t come back.
- Jalousie windows drawing non-renewal notices from insurers. Glass louvers offer almost no wind or impact resistance, and Florida carriers are increasingly flagging them. Replacement is often driven not by storm damage but by a letter from the insurance company.
- Undersized rough openings that trigger code upgrades once the permit is pulled. When we replace a window under a Palm Beach County permit, the new unit often has to meet current wind-load and impact standards that didn’t exist when the house was built. That’s a real cost, and we write it into the quote before we start.
Pricing for Window Replacement in Westgate, FL
A straight insert replacement on a standard 36-by-60 opening in Westgate typically runs $550 to $1,100 installed.

FAQs - Window Replacement in Westgate
Yes. Westgate is unincorporated, so there is no city building department. Every window replacement permit and inspection runs through Palm Beach County’s Building Division, and the pipeline differs from what contractors face in West Palm Beach or Greenacres. We pull the permit, schedule the inspection, and handle the paperwork so you don’t have to. Call (754) 339-0784 and we’ll explain exactly what your job requires.
It’s increasingly possible. Florida carriers have been sending non-renewal notices to homeowners with jalousie or old single-pane aluminum windows because they don’t meet current wind-load and impact standards. Replacing them with impact-rated units usually satisfies the underwriter and can lower your premium. If you’ve received a notice, bring it to the estimate. We’ll match the replacement to what your insurer is actually asking for. Call (754) 339-0784 for a free quote.
Plan on two to three times the cost of an insert. A standard insert might run $550 to $1,100 per opening, while a full-frame replacement on the same opening typically runs $1,200 to $2,400 once you factor in tear-out, reframing, flashing, and stucco work. On a 1960s CBS home, we usually find rot or undersized framing that makes full-frame the safer long-term choice. We’ll show you both options on paper. Call (754) 339-0784 for exact pricing on your openings.
The U-factor measures how much heat passes through the glass. Lower is better for a Westgate house because your air conditioner is fighting Palm Beach County’s heat and humidity most of the year. Look for a U-factor of 0.30 or lower and a solar heat gain coefficient of 0.25 or lower on dual-pane windows. We’ll put those numbers on your quote so you can compare products side by side, not just prices. Call (754) 339-0784 for a free estimate.
Yes. Several manufacturers make impact-rated aluminum-frame windows that reproduce the narrow sightlines of the originals, and we carry lines like ViewLux that are engineered specifically for that purpose in older Florida homes. You get the look of your 1950s windows with glass that meets current Palm Beach County wind-load code. We’ll show you samples before you sign anything.
