Ed Winslow founded this company in 2011, and his name is on the door and on every job we do. Westgate homeowners call us because we understand what a 1962 CBS home near Osceola Drive actually needs, not what a national chain’s call center scripts say.

The Done Right Promise covers every door we install. If it’s not done right, we make it right. No ticket numbers. No corporate escalation. Ed’s word.

Our Sliding Glass & Patio Doors Services in Westgate

Impact-Rated Sliding Glass Doors

Westgate sits just outside Miami-Dade and Broward’s High-Velocity Hurricane Zone, but Palm Beach County still requires Florida Building Code wind-load product approvals on every replacement opening. That means the door you install matters. We install PGT, CGI, and CWS impact sliders with laminated glass carrying Florida Product Approval numbers matching your specific opening size and design pressure. These doors protect the home from wind-borne debris breaching the opening and pressurizing the interior, which is the failure mode insurers specifically cite when canceling policies on Westgate homes.

Florida Room and Porch Slider Replacement

This is the job we see most often in Westgate. Homeowners replace the main living-area sliders with impact units, then assume the house is covered. But the original aluminum slider on the screened porch or Florida room is still there, with its single pane of annealed glass and no large-missile rating. Palm Beach County permits require those openings to be addressed too. We flag every unprotected jalousie and slider during the estimate, and we convert them to impact-rated units that close the gap your insurance carrier is looking for.

Jalousie-to-Impact Conversions

Those original jalousie windows in Westgate’s Florida rooms are a direct line to policy cancellation. They predate any meaningful hurricane standard and provide zero wind-borne debris protection. We replace them with fixed impact windows from CWS, ECO Window Systems, or ES Windows, matched to the existing opening. The result is a sealed, code-compliant room that no longer triggers insurer scrutiny at renewal. This work often runs alongside a Sliding Glass & Patio Doors replacement, since the permit and the inspection happen together.

Hurricane Code Compliance Upgrades

If your Westgate home got flagged during a wind-mitigation inspection, or your carrier sent a notice of nonrenewal citing unprotected openings, we handle the documentation side as thoroughly as the installation. Every impact slider we install includes the Florida Product Approval documentation your agent needs. We pull the permit, pass the inspection, and hand you the paperwork. Westgate’s dense pocket of 1950s to 1970s CBS homes is ground zero for this exact conversation in Palm Beach County.

Trusted Brands We Service in Westgate

We are an authorized installer for PGT, CGI, CWS, ES Windows, ECO Window Systems, and Therma-Tru, which means warranties stay intact and documentation is clean. For Westgate’s CBS construction, we most often recommend PGT 5700 Series sliders for porch and Florida Room replacements, Therma-Tru for entry door transitions, and ES Windows or ECO Window Systems for jalousie-to-fixed-impact conversions. Because Westgate is a steady market for these specific openings, our crews are familiar with the frame depths, sill conditions, and block-anchoring patterns these 1950s through 1970s homes require. That familiarity means fewer surprises during install and a cleaner permit inspection.

Common Sliding Glass & Patio Doors Problems We See in Westgate Homes

• Corroded sill tracks on original aluminum sliders. Decades of humidity and wind-driven rain oxidize the aluminum frame at the track, causing the rollers to bind. The door jams half-open, and you cannot latch it, which is both a security problem and a code violation.
• Single-pane annealed glass with no debris rating. Westgate’s original sliders predate Florida’s wind-load product-approval rules. In a storm, debris breaches the glass, the home pressurizes, and the roof structure fails. Insurers know this failure mode and cite it specifically.
• Failed weatherstripping driving up AC load. Original gaskets on these 50-to-70-year-old sliders let humid Westgate air infiltrate continuously. We regularly see a 20 to 30 percent jump in cooling load on homes with original sliders, plus visible condensation and mildew inside the track during rainy season.
• The jalousie loophole. Homeowners replace main sliders with impact units but leave Florida Room jalousies and porch sliders untouched. Those openings are the first point of catastrophic failure in a hurricane and the first thing a wind-mitigation inspector flags.

Pricing for Sliding Glass & Patio Doors in Westgate, FL

What Sliding Glass & Patio Doors Costs in Westgate

Impact windows in Westgate generally run $800 to $1,500 per window installed. Impact single-hung units run $900 to $1,800. Large or custom openings, like a full-wall slider or a corner-mitered patio door, run $2,500 to $5,000. Whole-home packages that include every opening, jalousies included, start around $8,000 and go up from there. What moves the number is the wind zone your specific street sits in, the design pressure rating required for each opening, floor height if you have a second story, and frame material. In Westgate’s CBS homes, concrete block anchoring is standard, which keeps install costs predictable. Our written quote breaks all of this down opening by opening. Free in-home measure, no obligation, and a live person answers when you call (561) 928-0302.

Florida Pays You Back

Westgate homeowners qualify for several programs that offset the cost of impact-rated sliders. The My Safe Florida Home program offers matching grants up to $10,000 for qualifying wind-mitigation upgrades. Florida also exempts impact-resistant windows and doors from sales tax. The federal 25C energy credit can return up to $600 per year on qualifying energy-efficient units. After a wind-mitigation inspection, which runs $75 to $150, Palm Beach County homeowners often see windstorm-premium credits averaging around 25 percent on the windstorm portion of the policy. We don’t set those numbers and we don’t guarantee them, but we give you the documentation to pursue every one. The Done Right Promise means the install is right, period. The rest is between you, your carrier, and the state programs.

One comparison worth making in Westgate: impact sliders versus hurricane shutters. Shutters cost less upfront, but you have to hang them before every storm, store them somewhere, and they do nothing for your daily energy bill or your AC load. Impact sliders are permanent protection. No panels. No pre-storm scramble. And because they replace the corroded, leaking original unit, they fix the humidity problem too. In Westgate’s climate, where humidity is a year-round issue, that daily benefit adds up faster than the shutter savings.

Westgate’s Salt Air Problem: Why Materials Decide the Job

Westgate sits roughly 10 to 15 miles inland, so you don’t get direct salt spray like Singer Island or Palm Beach Shores. But the humidity and occasional wind-driven rain that sweep through the 33409 zip code create a similar corrosion pattern, just slower. On original 1950s through 1970s aluminum sliders, we see the sill track oxidize until the rolling hardware binds. We see steel screws in the frame flanges rust to the point where they snap during removal. We see weatherstripping turn brittle in the UV and crumble when touched. The fix is a sliding glass door built for Palm Beach County’s coastal-adjacent reality, not a generic inland unit. That means stainless or hot-dip galvanized hardware, marine-grade frame finishes on aluminum, and sealed joints that don’t wick humidity. The price gap between a basic spec and a coastal-spec slider runs $300 to $800 per opening. The cheap spec fails within a decade here; we replace those failed cheap units regularly. The coastal-spec unit lasts two to three times as long. In Westgate, the cheap door costs more.
