Window and door replacement in Westgate is rarely a cosmetic decision. It’s usually a letter from an insurance company saying the policy won’t renew unless the openings are brought to code. That’s the reality of this unincorporated Palm Beach County pocket, where original jalousie and single-pane aluminum frames still sit in thousands of 1950s and 1960s CBS homes. Our crews know the streets here, we answer the phone when you call, and we’ll give you a straight answer about what your home actually needs. Call (844) 901-4551 for a free estimate.

Why Westgate Homeowners Choose Winslow Windows & Doors
Ed Winslow started this company in 2011 because he was tired of watching big-box installers hand homeowners a ticket number instead of a solution. Westgate has a particular set of problems: concrete block walls from the postwar era, original window openings that don’t match modern unit sizes, and an insurance market that now demands documented impact protection. We’ve worked the neighborhoods off Haverhill Road and around Westgate Avenue enough to know which block-era homes carry steel casement frames and which have the later aluminum sliders. Background-checked technicians in uniform show up when we say they will. And they know what they’re looking at before cutting anything open.
Nothing about our Westgate work is anonymous. Ed’s name is on the door, our address and license number are published, and the Done Right Promise means if a job isn’t right, we come back and make it right. A lasting standard, because that’s the kind of accountability a house built in 1962 deserves.
Windows & Doors Services We Offer in Westgate
Impact Windows
Impact-rated windows are the flagship line for Westgate homes. Laminated impact glass, Florida Product Approval per configuration, and design pressures matched to each opening so the unit isn’t over- or under-specified for its location on the wall. We install PGT and CGI configurations that satisfy Palm Beach County wind-borne debris requirements.

Window Installation
Installation in older CBS construction is rarely plug-and-play. Rough openings in 1950s and 1960s block homes often need resizing or re-framing before a standard unit will seat correctly, and we plan for that on day one rather than discovering it mid-job. Every permitted installation meets Florida Building Code wind-load standards.

Window Replacement
The forced-replacement wave in Westgate is real. When insurers cancel or refuse renewal on homes with jalousie or old single-pane aluminum windows, replacing them with impact-rated or code-compliant alternatives becomes a compliance job we handle start to finish. We’ll walk you through what changes and what doesn’t, including whether your openings can accept a direct replacement or need modification.

Door Installation
Westgate Door Installation starts with understanding how front doors here take a beating from UV and salt-laden air. We install impact-rated entry doors and door systems that meet the same wind-borne debris requirements as your windows, with hardware and thresholds built for daily humidity cycles. No gap filler. No sagging a year later.

Sliding Glass & Patio Doors
Sliders on older Westgate homes are frequently original to the block, with corroded tracks and glazing that wouldn’t stop a branch, let alone wind-borne debris. We replace them with Westgate Sliding Glass & Patio Doors that glide properly and meet Palm Beach County code. You’ll actually want to open them again.
Energy-Efficient Windows
Energy-Efficient Windows in Westgate use Low-E glass and tight frame construction to cut solar heat gain meaningfully in a climate where July sun hammers west-facing walls. Homeowners typically see a 20–30% drop in cooling-related energy use once the old leaky jalousie frames are gone. That’s money back every month, not a product brochure estimate.
Impact Garage Doors
Garage doors are among the largest openings in any Westgate home and one of the first things an inspector checks after a storm. We install Impact Garage Doors — Westgate engineered to hold their rating under positive and negative pressure, which matters when the wind tries to pull the door off its tracks.
Custom & Geometric Windows
Not every Westgate home has rectangular openings. Arches, angles, fixed picture windows, and geometric configurations are part of the mid-century vocabulary here, and we handle custom fabrication through our authorized brand lineup. Fabrication for fully custom shapes runs 4–6 weeks; a direct replacement can be installed as fast as a single day once your units arrive.
Roof Repair
Windows and doors are only as protective as the roof above them. If a leak travels into a wall cavity and reaches a window frame, the framing repair gets more expensive. We handle roof repair on shingle, tile, and metal systems in Westgate so the entire exterior works as one assembly. Note: any steep-roof or height repair involves real fall risk, and it belongs in the hands of a trained, insured crew, not a ladder and a Saturday afternoon.
Roof Replacement & Installation
A full roof replacement on a Westgate CBS home is a structural and insurance event, not a cosmetic one. We pull permits, install to current wind-load requirements, and inspect every roof-to-wall tie point. Estimates are written line-item so you know exactly what you’re paying for before the first tile comes off.
Shingle, Tile & Metal Roofing
Westgate’s housing stock spans all three systems. Shingle on the ranch-style blocks, tile on some of the later builds, metal on more recent replacements. We install and repair all three without trying to steer you to whichever system carries the highest margin.
Neighborhoods We Serve in Westgate
Our crews work across central and western Westgate regularly. Here’s a representative slice of where you’ll find our trucks:
- Homes along Haverhill Road and the adjacent blocks
- The residential streets west of Westgate Avenue
- Communities off Okeechobee Boulevard and the surrounding grid
- Neighborhoods near the Westgate Community Center and Lake Belvedere Estates to the south
Response time across the Westgate service area is same-day for phone estimates and typically within one business day for an on-site visit.
Why Westgate’s Climate & Housing Affect Windows & Doors
Westgate sits roughly 8–10 miles from the Atlantic coast, squarely in Palm Beach County’s high-velocity hurricane zone. Salt-laden air rides in on easterly winds, coats aluminum frames and glazing compounds year-round, and accelerates the corrosion that’s already visible on original 1960s hardware. Add the daily humidity cycle and intense UV, and exterior materials simply age out faster here than they do in interior Florida markets. Meanwhile, the housing stock itself is working against you: concrete block homes with steel casement or early aluminum jalousie frames were never designed for modern wind-load requirements. Getting a standard impact unit into one of those openings often means re-framing the rough opening, not just swapping glass. We plan every Westgate quote around that reality, not around what a template assumes.

Florida Pays Westgate Homeowners Back
Westgate isn’t a wealthy enclave, and the state knows replacement windows are a major line item. The incentives are real, and we’ll help you claim them correctly:
- My Safe Florida Home: matching grants up to $10,000 for qualifying wind-mitigation upgrades, including impact windows and doors.
- Florida sales-tax exemption: the state waives sales tax on impact-resistant windows and doors. Yes, it’s permanent legislation, not a promo.
- Federal 25C energy credit: 30% of product cost, up to $600 per year, on qualifying energy-efficient units.
- Windstorm premium credits: after a wind-mitigation inspection ($75–$150), Florida carriers typically credit around 25% off the windstorm portion of your premium. The exact credit is entirely the carrier’s decision; we don’t set that number and won’t promise one for you.
One more comparison worth making: impact windows versus hurricane shutters. Shutters protect the opening only when someone remembers to put them up, which is exactly when the wind is already arriving. Impact windows protect the home 24/7, passively, without panels in the garage and without the annual installation scramble. For most Westgate homeowners, the insurance savings plus the permanent protection make impact the better call.

FAQs About Windows & Doors in Westgate
Yes, for any permitted new or replacement window or door installation. Westgate falls under Palm Beach County jurisdiction and the Florida Building Code’s wind-borne debris region, so openings must be protected by impact-rated glazing or a code-compliant shutter system. If you’re replacing old jalousie windows as part of an insurance-mitigated job, impact glass is the route that also earns windstorm credits. Call (844) 901-4551 and we’ll tell you exactly what your openings require.
$1,400 to $2,600 per opening is the typical range in Westgate, including the re-framing work those old concrete block openings usually need. The labor on a jalousie-to-impact conversion is genuinely more involved than a standard replacement, and anyone quoting you below that is likely skipping the structural work. Estimates are free and fixed once written. Call (844) 901-4551 for a line-item quote.
No. Our written estimates are fixed-price and line-item. The only exception is if we open a wall and find damage no one could have known about beforehand, and we’ll tell you before any of that work happens, in writing, with the cost spelled out. No change orders that show up on the invoice with no explanation. That’s part of the Done Right Promise.
Yes. Every permitted window or door swap in unincorporated Palm Beach County goes through proper permitting and inspection. We handle the paperwork, schedule the inspections, and make sure the final product passes the Florida Building Code wind-load requirements. No shortcuts. No unpermitted “cash deals” that haunt you at resale.
A direct replacement, once your units arrive, can be installed as fast as a single day. Custom or geometric windows run 4–6 weeks in fabrication before install. Jalousie-to-impact conversions with re-framing typically take a little longer than a direct swap, but we’ll give you a schedule in the estimate and stick to it. Call (844) 901-4551 to get a timeline for your specific home.

What Westgate Customers Say
"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."
— Thaddeus Okonkwo"The installation was clean and the windows are beautiful. The factory took about six weeks to deliver the units, which Ed told me upfront, but living behind plywood-framed openings in the meantime still tested my patience."
— Guadalupe Zamorano
