Replacing windows and doors in Westgate usually costs $600-$2,800 per opening installed, depending on whether you’re going with standard impact units or custom-fabricated geometries. Most homeowners we work with in this part of Palm Beach County schedule a free estimate within a few days, and our crews know the housing stock here well enough to spot the jalousie problem before you sign anything. If you’re pricing out a project, call (561) 928-0302 and a real person will answer.
We’re Winslow Windows & Doors, and we’ve been putting our name on installations since 2011. Westgate’s older CBS homes have specific needs, and we’d rather walk you through them honestly than hand you a glossy brochure from a national chain that’s never driven down Okeechobee Boulevard.

Why Westgate Homeowners Choose Winslow Windows & Doors
Westgate is the kind of neighborhood where people talk. When a crew shows up late or a warranty evaporates, word travels fast. Our published address and license number are part of how we operate, not a marketing afterthought. Ed Winslow’s name is on the door, and on every job we do.
We’ve worked throughout the communities around Belvedere Homes and the residential blocks off Congress Avenue, and the pattern is always the same: homeowners want a straight answer on whether their existing openings will pass a wind-load inspection. We give it. Our technicians arrive in uniform, background-checked, and they’ll tell you if a repair makes more sense than a replacement. That’s not a sales tactic. It’s how we’ve kept our reputation in Palm Beach County intact since 2011.
Every call is answered by a live person, 24 hours a day. You won’t get a voicemail tree or a next-business-day callback. You’ll get us.
Windows & Doors Services We Offer in Westgate
Impact Windows
Laminated impact glass built to Florida Building Code product-approval standards, with design pressures matched to each opening, never a rating above +/-100. These are the flagship line for Westgate homes where insurers are scrutinizing wind-borne debris protection during renewal. Learn more about our Impact Windows in Westgate.
Window Installation
New frames, new glass, new weatherstripping, install done right the first time, or we come back. We pull permits when Palm Beach County requires them, and we don’t leave homeowners guessing about what’s happening at each step. Learn more about our Window Installation in Westgate.
Window Replacement
Pulling out old jalousies and aluminum sliders, squaring the openings, and installing units that actually block wind and humidity. Replacement in Westgate often means addressing windows a prior owner never touched. Learn more about our Window Replacement in Westgate.
Door Installation
Front entry doors, side doors, and utility doors that fit the opening and stay square. We install Therma-Tru and other authorized brands, with weatherseal details that hold up to South Florida humidity.
Sliding Glass & Patio Doors
Impact-rated sliders and patio doors for the back of the house, where most of the wall is glass. If your track is warped and the door takes two hands to open, replacement beats repeated repairs.
Energy-Efficient Windows
Low-E glass and insulated frames that cut cooling loads by 20-30% compared to the single-pane aluminum originals still common across Westgate’s 1950s-1970s housing stock. Tight seals matter more here than the marketing brochures admit.
Impact Garage Doors
A garage door facing the street is a huge wind-load liability if it’s not rated. We install impact-rated garage doors that meet the same compliance logic as the rest of the opening protection we do.
Custom & Geometric Windows
Arches, trapezoids, circles, unusual angles. Custom fabrication usually runs four to six weeks, and we’ll tell you that up front. No vague timelines.
Roof Repair, Roof Replacement & Installation
Shingle, tile, and metal roofing for Westgate homes and small apartment buildings from the same era. Windows and doors are only part of the exterior envelope. A failing roof undercuts everything we install below it.
Neighborhoods We Serve in Westgate
Our crews work throughout Westgate regularly, and we know the difference between a Belvedere Homes CBS original and a 1990s addition off Okeechobee Boulevard. Typical response for an estimate request in Westgate is within one business day, often sooner.

Why Westgate’s Climate & Housing Affect Windows & Doors
Westgate sits roughly 10 to 15 miles inland in Palm Beach County, outside the High-Velocity Hurricane Zone that covers Miami-Dade and Broward, but still fully bound by Florida Building Code wind-load product-approval requirements on every replacement. The residential core is a dense pocket of 1950s-1970s CBS homes, most still fitted with original single-pane jalousie or aluminum-slider windows that predate any meaningful hurricane-resistance standard. Year-round humidity, intense UV, and seasonal heavy rain accelerate frame-seal degradation and hardware corrosion even without direct salt-air exposure. Gasket and weatherstrip failure on aluminum frames is a recurring callback issue we see constantly in Westgate.
That aging window stock is now colliding with the Florida property-insurance crisis. Carriers are canceling or surcharging policies on homes lacking documented impact-rated openings or approved shutter systems. Window and door replacement here is no longer a remodeling upgrade. It’s an insurance-driven necessity for working-class homeowners who have long deferred the cost.
One pattern local installers know well: a homeowner replaces the main living-area windows with impact units, then assumes the whole house is covered. But the older jalousie windows in the screened porch, the Florida room, or the utility area are still in place. Those are the first points of catastrophic failure in a hurricane. We flag them during the initial estimate and explain that Palm Beach County permits require them to be addressed too. That’s the difference between a crew that knows Westgate and an out-of-area crew chasing storm work.

Impact Windows vs. Hurricane Shutters: What Westgate Homeowners Need to Know
Shutters only protect you if someone is home to deploy them, and in a storm, panic and wind make everything harder. Impact windows are passive protection: always in place, no panels to find in the garage, no tracks to clean. In Westgate, where many homes have original jalousies that can’t accept standard shutters anyway, impact replacement also fixes the insurance documentation problem permanently. Big-box retail installs often subcontract the labor, and the warranty follows the installer, not the store. A licensed impact specialist like Winslow carries the whole thing: product, installation, and the Done Right Promise behind it.
Florida Pays Westgate Homeowners Back
The incentives stack more favorably than most homeowners realize. My Safe Florida Home matching grants can cover up to $10,000 in qualifying wind-mitigation upgrades. Florida exempts impact-resistant windows and doors from sales tax entirely. The federal 25C energy credit returns 30% of product cost, up to $600 per year, on qualifying energy-efficient units. And after a wind-mitigation inspection ($75-$150), windstorm-premium credits often average around 25% on the windstorm portion of your policy. Programs and carriers set the final numbers, so we’ll help you understand what applies to your Westgate home, but we won’t promise a credit amount the carrier hasn’t confirmed.

FAQs About Windows & Doors in Westgate
Most Westgate window replacements run $600-$2,800 per opening installed, with standard impact units at the lower end and custom geometric work at the higher end. The biggest cost variable is whether the home still has original jalousie or aluminum-slider windows that require reframing rather than a direct swap. Call (561) 928-0302 for an exact quote, estimates are free.
Westgate is 10-15 miles inland, outside Miami-Dade and Broward’s High-Velocity Hurricane Zone, but Palm Beach County still requires Florida Building Code wind-load product approval on every replacement window and door. More importantly, insurers are canceling and surcharging policies on homes lacking documented impact-rated openings, regardless of distance from the ocean. Impact windows solve the code requirement and the insurance problem together.
No. We provide written line-item quotes with fixed pricing. If we missed something in the estimate, that’s our error, not your change order. The Done Right Promise means if it’s not done right, Ed makes it right, at no additional cost to you.

What Westgate Customers Say
"He replaced the front door and the garage door in the same week, both rated for impact, and lined the frames up so straight my level had nothing to say. My wife stopped hearing the highway from the front room."
- Maximilian Vasquez"We sat out a hurricane behind the windows Ed put in. The gusts threw a neighbour's trampoline down the street and the loudest thing in our house was the kettle. I rang him after to say thank you and he answered his own phone, same as always."
- Thaddeus Okonkwo"Someone tried the back slider while we were away. The glass crazed and held, the alarm never had to earn its keep, and the police report reads better than it might have. Ed came out the next morning to check the frame himself."
