Why West Gate Homeowners Choose Winslow Windows & Doors
West Gate is an unincorporated enclave where the homes were built fast and sturdy, mostly CBS ranch construction between 1960 and 1985. The block walls have held up fine. The windows haven’t. We’ve worked on properties throughout the 33409 ZIP, from the streets just north of Okeechobee Boulevard down to the neighborhoods around Palm Beach Lakes Boulevard, and we know exactly what’s behind those aluminum frames: concrete masonry openings that need hammer-drill anchoring and buck work most installers never plan for. Homeowners here don’t want a ticket number from a national chain. They want a local company that shows up, knows the county’s permit portal, and stands behind the work. That’s us.
Our crews are background-checked and uniformed, so you know who’s at your door before you open it. And when you call, a live person answers. At 2 p.m. or 2 a.m., you’ll reach a human being, not a voicemail loop. Ed Winslow founded this company in 2011, and his name is on the door and on every job we do.
Windows & Doors Services We Offer in West Gate
Impact Windows
Impact windows are the flagship line for West Gate homes, and for good reason. Palm Beach County code requires impact-rated glazing or an approved shutter system on any permitted replacement, and most homeowners prefer permanent protection over panels they’ll have to wrestle onto the wall every June. We install laminated impact glass with Miami-Dade NOA or Florida Product Approval per configuration, matched to the design pressure each opening actually needs.
Learn more about our Impact Windows in West Gate.
Window Installation
Installing windows in West Gate’s CBS construction isn’t like working on a wood-frame house. The openings are set in concrete block, which means hammer-drill anchoring, careful buck work, and fasteners rated for masonry. We handle the full scope, from tear-out to trim, and we pull permits through the Palm Beach County Building Division so your job is inspected and compliant.
Learn more about our Window Installation in West Gate.
Window Replacement
If your West Gate home still has original single-pane sliders or jalousie panels, you’re living with drafts, corroded tracks, and glass that won’t stop wind-borne debris. Replacement here means upgrading to impact-rated units by default, and we’ll walk you through product options from PGT, CGI, CWS, and ViewLux so you get the right glass for your openings, not whatever’s on the truck.

Door Installation
West Gate Door Installation takes a beating from humidity and salt air that creeps inland from the Intracoastal. We install Therma-Tru and impact-rated door systems that hold their seals, swing true, and meet the same wind-load requirements as your windows. A new front door is also a chance to fix the framing rot and corroded hardware that often hide behind the old one.
Call (844) 901-4551 to schedule a door evaluation in West Gate.
Sliding Glass & Patio Doors
Older sliding doors in West Gate ranchs are often the weakest opening on the house, with single-pane glass and tracks that bind. Impact-rated sliders change the equation entirely: laminated glass, multi-point locks, and frames engineered for Palm Beach County wind loads. We install West Gate Sliding Glass & Patio Doors that actually glide, even after years of Florida weather.
Call (844) 901-4551 to discuss sliding door options for your West Gate home.
Energy-Efficient Windows
Replacing old aluminum windows with Low-E insulated impact units cuts heat gain through the glass, which matters in a neighborhood full of 1960s CBS homes with minimal attic insulation. Homeowners typically see cooling savings in the 20–30% range once the old single-pane units are gone. Energy-Efficient Windows in West Gate give you the code compliance and the comfort in one product.
Call (844) 901-4551 for energy-efficient window options in West Gate.
Impact Garage Doors
Your garage door is the largest opening on your West Gate home, and a non-impact door becomes a missile during a storm. We install Impact Garage Doors in West Gate that brace the opening, protect your vehicles and everything stored in the garage, and keep your roof from pressurizing during high wind. It’s a critical piece of the hurricane-compliance upgrade almost every West Gate home eventually needs.
Call (844) 901-4551 to discuss impact garage doors in West Gate.
Custom & Geometric Windows
Some West Gate homes have unusual openings, arched or angled glass from earlier renovations, or owners who want something beyond standard rectangles. We fabricate and install custom and geometric windows in impact-rated configurations, so even a shaped opening gets glass that meets Palm Beach County’s wind-borne debris standards.
Call (844) 901-4551 to discuss custom windows for your West Gate home.
Roof Repair
Windows and doors are only as good as the roof above them. We repair roof leaks, damaged flashing, and failing shingle or tile transitions that let water run down into wall cavities and door frames. In West Gate’s humidity, a small roof leak becomes a mold problem faster than you’d think.
Call (844) 901-4551 for roof repair in West Gate.
Roof Replacement & Installation
When a roof has reached the end of its service life, we replace it with shingle, tile, or metal systems installed to Palm Beach County’s wind-load standards. A properly installed roof protects every window and door below it, and the same permit process through the county applies.
Call (844) 901-4551 to discuss roof replacement in West Gate.
Shingle, Tile & Metal Roofing
West Gate homes carry a mix of roofing materials depending on the era and past renovations. We install all three: architectural shingles for the classic Florida ranch look, tile for homes that need that Mediterranean profile, and metal for homeowners who want longevity and wind performance.
Call (844) 901-4551 for roofing options in West Gate.

Why West Gate’s Climate & Housing Affect Windows & Doors
West Gate sits inland of the coastline but still inside Palm Beach County’s high-wind design zone, with ASCE 7 wind speeds at 130+ mph exposure. That means every replacement window and door has to be engineered and labeled for that wind speed, or the homeowner has to install approved shutters. Most West Gate homes we see have original aluminum single-pane sliders, and many still carry jalousie panels, the louvered glass windows that were cheap and popular in the 1960s but perform terribly in wind and humidity. Those openings meet none of Florida’s current wind-borne debris protection standards, so virtually every job in West Gate becomes a full hurricane-compliance upgrade. That drives project scope and permit complexity far beyond a simple glass swap.
The year-round humidity and periodic salt-air intrusion from the nearby Intracoastal also accelerate corrosion on aluminum frames and multi-point door hardware. It’s common to find slider tracks so pitted and oxidized they won’t roll, and door hardware that’s frozen solid. The concrete masonry construction underneath it all means every anchor point has to be drilled and fastened properly, which is exactly the kind of detail that separates a job that lasts from one that fails inspection.
Pricing for Windows & Doors in West Gate
Here’s what West Gate homeowners can expect, based on typical 33409 homes:
- Impact window replacement (per opening, installed): $900–$1,800 depending on size and product
- Standard single-hung replacement window: $500–$900 per opening
- Impact sliding glass door (installed): $3,500–$6,500

- Impact garage door (installed): $2,800–$5,500
- Roof replacement (shingle, per square foot): $4.50–$7.00
These are real ranges for this market, not national averages. Custom fabrication runs 4–6 weeks once you order. Installation itself can be as fast as a single day once your units arrive. We give written, line-item quotes upfront, and the price doesn’t change once work starts unless you change the scope. Call (844) 901-4551 for an exact quote. Estimates are free, and there’s no trip charge in Palm Beach County.
Florida Pays West Gate Homeowners Back
If you’re upgrading windows or doors in West Gate, several programs can offset the cost. My Safe Florida Home offers matching grants up to $10,000 for qualifying wind-mitigation upgrades, and impact-resistant windows and doors are currently exempt from Florida sales tax. The federal 25C energy credit can return 30% of product cost, up to $600 per year on qualifying units. After a wind-mitigation inspection (typically $75–$150), many West Gate homeowners see windstorm-premium credits averaging around 25% on the windstorm portion of their policy. Every program and carrier sets its own final numbers, so we’ll point you to the right resources and let you confirm eligibility with your insurer. We install the products these programs were designed to reward.
A Quick Word on Impact Windows vs. Shutters
Shutters do their job if you’re home to hang them, and if the tracks aren’t rusted, and if you have a place to store them the other eleven months of the year. Impact windows protect your home 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, with zero effort from you. They’re also the only option that improves energy efficiency and cuts outside noise by up to 40%. For West Gate’s concrete block ranches, impact windows are the permanent fix. Shutters are a band-aid you have to find in the garage at midnight.

FAQs About Windows & Doors in West Gate
Expect $900–$1,800 per opening for impact windows installed in West Gate, depending on size, product line, and the condition of the existing opening. Concrete block construction can add some labor compared to wood-frame homes, but our quotes are line-item and upfront. Call (844) 901-4551 for an exact number on your home, we’ll come out and measure for free.
Yes. West Gate is unincorporated, so every permit pulls through the Palm Beach County Building Division, not the City of West Palm Beach. That means county inspectors, the ePZB portal, and county-specific wind-load documentation. We handle permits and inspections on every job, and we’ll make sure your project passes the first time. Call (844) 901-4551 with questions about what your project requires.
Palm Beach County code gives you a choice: impact-rated glazing or an approved shutter system on any permitted replacement. If you’re pulling a permit for new windows or doors, one of those two is mandatory. Most West Gate homeowners choose impact windows because they’re always on duty, they improve energy efficiency, and they don’t require you to be home when a storm warning hits. Call (844) 901-4551 to discuss which route makes sense for your home and budget.
That’s the salt air. West Gate is inland, but periodic salt-air intrusion from the Intracoastal, combined with year-round humidity, oxidizes aluminum frames and door hardware faster than in drier climates. Once the tracks pit and the seals fail, the window is done. Replacement is the fix, and the new impact units use materials engineered for coastal Florida conditions. Call (844) 901-4551 for a free evaluation of your existing windows.
No. Our quotes are written and line-item, and the price holds unless you ask us to change the scope. What we quote is what you pay. That’s part of the Done Right Promise: if it’s not done right, we make it right. Call (844) 901-4551 to schedule your free estimate and see the numbers in writing before you commit to anything.

What West Gate Customers Say
"Three big companies quoted us and every one sent a salesman with a leased truck. Ed turned up in a truck with his own name on the door, quoted less, and his crew were the same faces on day one and day nine."
— Yolanda Betancourt"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."
— Cornelius Adeyemi"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."
