AfterFast, Reliable Window Replacement Across Westgate
Window replacement in Westgate, FL runs $450-$1,150 per opening for standard vinyl or aluminum units in concrete block homes, and $900-$2,400 per opening for impact-rated windows that meet Palm Beach County’s 140+ mph wind-load code. Most full-frame jobs on a typical 1950s-1970s CBS house here land between $8,500 and $22,000 depending on opening count, impact rating, and whether we’re pulling jalousies out of masonry. We’ve worked these streets long enough to know the permit office routine, the block-wall quirks, and what county inspectors flag on a rough-in. Call (561) 708-6771 for a free, written estimate with no change-order surprises later.
Why TruePane Windows & Doors Is Westgate’s Preferred Window Replacement Company
Westgate is unincorporated, which means every permit runs through Palm Beach County’s central building department instead of a quick municipal office. Inspectors cover a sprawling jurisdiction, so rough-in and final calls often take three to five business days longer than identical jobs in incorporated West Palm Beach or Lake Worth Beach. Contractors who don’t know this will leave you wondering why your project stalled.
We know it, and we build that buffer into every Westgate timeline from day one. Dale Kessler founded TruePane in 2008 with a rule that still names the company: if the pane is not true, the job is not done. Our Window Replacement crew has been setting windows into these CBS block walls ever since, and our Westgate customers call the same live person every time they dial (561) 708-6771. Day or night. Not a voicemail tree. Not a callback form.
Background-checked, uniformed technicians measure every opening twice and quote manufacturer lines side by side on paper. Both warranty layers get registered in writing before the truck leaves your driveway. We stand behind it.
Our Window Replacement Services in Westgate
Full Frame Replacement
When the original jalousie or thin-frame aluminum unit is shot, we pull the entire frame down to the masonry opening and set a new one direct into the block. This is not nail-fin work. Westgate’s CBS construction means the opening is solid block, so we use direct-set or subsill-buck methods that hold a 140 mph design wind load and pass county inspection the first time. Full frame replacement in Westgate runs $900-$2,400 per opening installed, depending on impact rating and manufacturer line.
Storm Window Replacement
For homes where the existing frame is sound but the glazing won’t meet code, storm and impact-rated replacement is the practical path. Westgate sits in a coastal wind zone where the Florida Building Code requires impact-rated or approved shutter-protected glazing on every replaced window. We stock PGT and Simonton impact lines locally, so turnaround doesn’t drag. Storm-rated replacement typically runs $800-$1,950 per opening in this market.
Energy-Efficient Upgrade
Original single-pane aluminum windows bleed conditioned air all year. A Low-E insulated double-pane upgrade in Westgate runs $550-$1,200 per opening and cuts solar heat gain dramatically in south Palm Beach County’s year-round sun. For older CBS homes, the difference in August is immediate and measurable on the FPL bill. Energy-efficient replacements also carry the documentation insurers and buyers expect.
Insert Window Replacement
When the opening is square and the existing frame is still structurally sound, insert replacement windows drop into the old frame without disturbing interior trim or exterior stucco. It’s the least disruptive option for occupied Westgate homes, and it runs $450-$900 per opening installed. Inserts work well in these block homes when the original frame dates to a later remodel and has not corroded through. If it has, we’ll tell you before we quote it.

Trusted Brands We Service in Westgate
We’re an authorized installer for more than a dozen manufacturer lines, including, PGT, and CGI. For Westgate’s block-wall homes specifically, we lean on PGT for impact-rated units and Jeld-Wen and Simonton for solid mid-range replacements. If a homeowner wants Ply Gem for a budget-conscious vinyl insert, we quote it side by side on paper with everything else so the choice is clear. Parts for these lines are stocked in our South Florida operation, which means Westgate customers aren’t waiting on a freight truck from out of state when a sash or balance needs replacing.
Common Window Replacement Problems We See in Westgate Homes
- Original jalousie louvered windows still in place. These 1960s and 1970s originals fail current Florida Building Code wind-load thresholds and are routinely cited by property insurers as grounds for non-renewal or a wind-mitigation surcharge. Leaving them after a partial renovation is the single most expensive mistake we see.
- Standard nail-fin installation on CBS block walls. National franchise crews sometimes try to nail-fin a window into solid masonry. It leaks, it fails county inspection, and it voids the manufacturer warranty. Direct-set or subsill-buck is the only correct method here.
- Corroded aluminum frames from salt air and humidity. Westgate sits close enough to the coast that year-round humidity and occasional salt drift accelerate oxidation on any non-impact-rated aluminum product. A frame that looks tired on the outside is often worse inside the opening.
- No permit buffer for county inspections. Because Westgate runs through Palm Beach County’s central department, rough-in and final inspections take longer than jobs across the line. Schedules that ignore that lag blow past deadlines and leave homeowners without a final passed inspection before closing or an insurance renewal date.
Pricing for Window Replacement in Westgate, FL
Actual numbers for this market: standard vinyl or aluminum replacement windows in Westgate run $450-$900 per opening. Impact-rated windows that meet the 140 mph code run $900-$2,400 per opening installed into CBS block openings. Full-frame replacement of a jalousie with an impact-rated double-hung runs $1,100-$1,900 per opening. A whole-house job on a 1950s-1970s CBS home with eight to twelve openings lands between $8,500 and $22,000 depending on rating, brand, and condition of the masonry. What moves the price: impact versus non-impact glazing, full frame versus insert, and whether the county requires any subsill-buck fabrication for out-of-square openings. We give a written line-item quote before any work starts, and the price on that sheet is the price on the bill. Call (561) 708-6771 to schedule your free estimate.

FAQs - Window Replacement in Westgate
Replacement windows in Westgate must meet Palm Beach County’s design wind-speed requirement of 140 mph or higher, which in practice means impact-rated glazing or approved shutter protection on every replaced opening. The specific design pressure rating varies by opening size and exposure, and the county will check the product approval number on the permit and the installed label during inspection. Call (561) 708-6771 and we’ll pull the exact rating for your opening before we quote anything.
Yes. Westgate is unincorporated, so every window replacement permit runs through Palm Beach County’s central building department, not a municipal office. Skipping the permit may save a few hundred dollars up front, but it will surface later: during an insurance claim, a property sale, or a code enforcement sweep. We pull the permit, schedule the rough-in and final inspections, and hand you the passed inspection documentation. A square deal, in writing.
No, not legally in Westgate. The Florida Building Code requires impact-rated or approved shutter-protected glazing on any replaced window in this wind zone. Installing standard glass where the code requires impact-rated glazing will fail inspection, leave you exposed in a storm, and give your insurer grounds to deny a claim or non-renew the policy. We quote compliant options side by side on paper so you can see exactly what a code-passing job includes. Call (561) 708-6771 for the straight numbers.
In Westgate, often yes. Insurers routinely apply wind-mitigation surcharges to homes with original jalousie or single-pane aluminum windows, and replacing them with documented impact-rated units gives you the paperwork to request removal of that surcharge. Our crew recently replaced original jalousies on a 1962 CBS home off Haverhill Road with ViewLux impact-rated casement and double-hung units, using direct-set installation into the masonry openings. We pulled the county permit, passed the rough-in inspection, and documented the compliance so the homeowner’s insurer removed the wind-mitigation surcharge. That’s what a done-right job does for you. Call (561) 708-6771 for a free estimate and we’ll tell you what compliance documentation your insurer will want.
Westgate’s CBS homes have window openings cut into solid masonry block, not wood-frame walls. That means standard nail-fin installation will not work; we use direct-set or subsill-buck methods that anchor the new window into the block and hold the required wind load. It takes more labor, more shimming, and more inspection attention than a frame home, which is why a low bid from a crew that doesn’t know block work almost always turns into leaks or a failed inspection. Call (561) 708-6771 and we’ll quote it the way it actually has to be built.
If you’re ready to replace the windows on your Westgate home, call TruePane Windows & Doors at (561) 708-6771. A live person answers, the estimate is free, and the price we quote is the price you pay. We’ve been setting windows into these block walls long enough that the county inspectors know our work by name. Done right, from the first measurement to the passed final inspection.
