Westgate homeowners call us when jalousie windows finally rattle their last breath, when a binding door jamb won’t close against the humidity, or when an insurance non-renewal letter lands in the mailbox. We’re TruePane Windows & Doors, and we’ve been replacing and upgrading openings in this unincorporated Palm Beach County community long enough to know which CBS homes on which streets still carry original 1950s aluminum frames.

Why TruePane Windows & Doors Is Westgate’s Preferred Custom Windows & Doors Company

Westgate is not Wellington or Royal Palm Beach. It’s a working-class CDP where the housing stock runs modest, single-story, and CBS. A company that understands this doesn’t try to sell a homeowner a curtain wall when what they need is a properly anchored impact window that satisfies a wind-mitigation inspector. Our crews know the difference because they’ve worked the difference. The homes near Okeechobee Boulevard and Haverhill Road have their own set of problems: corroded tracks, failed seals, and openings that never met current Florida Building Code to begin with.

Dale Kessler founded this company in 2008 on a rule that hasn’t changed: if the pane is not true, the job is not done. We install, replace, and service custom windows and doors for residential homeowners across Westgate, and we’re an authorized installer for more than a dozen manufacturer lines including, PGT, CGI, and ES Windows. Every job comes with the Done Right Promise and The Keystone Standard: both manufacturer warranty layers registered in writing before the truck leaves the driveway. A live person answers the phone 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Not a voicemail tree. Not a callback form. A person.

Reputation in Westgate matters because word travels fast here. Homeowners in the neighborhoods off Crestwood Boulevard and north of Belvedere Road talk to their neighbors. We’ve earned repeat business and referrals by showing up when we say, measuring every opening twice, and documenting the wind-mitigation details that insurance companies actually accept.

Our Custom Windows & Doors Services in Westgate

Impact-Rated Custom Windows & Doors

The dominant driver of every window conversation in Westgate is insurance. Original single-pane aluminum sliders and jalousie windows don’t meet Palm Beach County’s 140 to 150 mph design wind-speed requirements, and insurance carriers know it. We replace them with impact-rated units from Andersen, PGT, and CGI, sized and anchored correctly for CBS construction. We provide wind-mitigation documentation that homeowners can submit to their carrier, and we’ve watched that paperwork reverse non-renewals on multiple occasions.

Custom Shape Windows

A lot of Westgate homes built in the 1950s and 1960s feature fixed louvered or angled window openings that don’t match any standard off-the-shelf size. Off-the-shelf won’t work, and a frame-out replacement that ignores the original shape destroys the house’s character. We fabricate custom shape windows to fit those exact openings. Impact-rated trapezoids, half-rounds, and replacement louvered units that keep the original sightlines while actually sealing and meeting wind-load requirements.

Architectural Grilles & SDLs

Original jalousie windows had a specific look: horizontal louver lines, narrow sightlines. When we replace them in a Westgate CBS home, we can spec architectural grilles or simulated divided lites (SDLs) that preserve that 1950s to 1970s character. We quote these side by side on paper with the manufacturer line, so the homeowner sees exactly what they’re buying and exactly what it will look like before we ever core-drill a hole.

Commercial Storefront Glazing & Curtain Wall Systems

Westgate has its share of small commercial storefronts along Haverhill Road and the older retail strips off Okeechobee Boulevard. We handle storefront glazing and curtain wall systems for those buildings too, with the same caution around CBS construction and the same documentation discipline. If a storefront needs impact glazing to satisfy a code inspector or insurance underwriter, we handle that as well.

Oversized Glass Panels

For Westgate homeowners opening up a wall or replacing a massive fixed pane in a 1960s living room, we install oversized glass panels that meet impact requirements without compromising the view. These jobs take careful handling and precise anchoring into CBS, and that’s work we train our apprentices to do the right way, not the fast way.

Trusted Brands We Service in Westgate

We install, PGT, CGI, and ES Windows, and we’re an authorized installer for more than a dozen manufacturer lines. For Westgate homeowners specifically, we’ve found that Andersen and PGT get the most requests because their impact lines hold up well in our humidity and salt air. We also work with ES Windows and ECO Window Systems for high-end custom requests. When you call TruePane, we quote the lines side by side on paper so you can see the actual difference in glass package, frame material, and warranty duration. Westgate homeowners deserve to know exactly what they’re paying for before the first truck rolls up.

Common Custom Windows & Doors Problems We See in Westgate Homes

• Cracked jalousie gaskets that fail wind-mitigation inspections. The rubber gaskets on original jalousie louvers dry and crack over 50-plus years of Palm Beach County sun and humidity. Salt-laden air then eats the aluminum frames from the inside. The windows rattle in afternoon convective storms and fail inspection outright.
• Corroded tracks on original aluminum single-pane sliders. In older CBS homes, the aluminum tracks and sashes have corroded to the point where they no longer seal. Condensation and salt air fog the glass quickly, the seal fails, the argon is gone, and the window’s insulation value collapses.
• Swollen and racked wood door jambs. Early 1970s homes in Westgate often have wood door frames that swell in the constant humidity and rack out of square. Weatherstripping fails, air and water leak through, and the door starts binding hard in July. Hardware life shortens dramatically.
• Openings that never met current Florida Building Code. Many original windows and doors in Westgate predate the modern wind-load requirements by decades. Homeowners often don’t know their openings are uninsurable until the non-renewal letter arrives. That’s when they call us.

FAQs - Custom Windows & Doors in Westgate

Why do Westgate insurance companies refuse to renew policies when they see original jalousie windows?

Because original jalousie louvers from the 1950s through 1970s don’t meet Palm Beach County’s current wind-load requirements, and insurance carriers routinely flag them as non-compliant during underwriting reviews. Florida’s property insurance market has tightened dramatically, and openings without impact ratings are a primary trigger for non-renewals. We replace them with impact-rated units and provide wind-mitigation documentation that homeowners submit to their carrier. Call (386) 251-6745 for an exact quote on your openings.

How do CBS walls change a window replacement in Westgate compared to wood-frame homes?

CBS construction means concrete block walls, which require core-drilling and masonry anchors rather than standard wood-framing screws. We can’t use typical fastening methods on a CBS home, and we have to be careful about waterproofing the rough opening. Our crews are trained specifically for this. If you’ve got a 1950s or 1960s CBS home, call (386) 251-6745 and we’ll walk the openings with you before quoting.

What wind-speed rating do my new custom windows need for Westgate?

Palm Beach County sits in a 140 to 150 mph design wind-speed zone under the Florida Building Code. Your replacement windows and doors, and the anchoring system used to set them, need to be engineered and installed for that rating. Impact-rated units from Andersen, PGT, and CGI are what we specify most often in Westgate. We document the ratings in writing and on the wind-mitigation paperwork.

Can I keep my jalousie windows and just add storm panels?

In some cases, yes. Storm panels can satisfy the code, but they have to be deployed for every named storm, and they don’t fix the underlying air leakage, noise, and corrosion problems of aging jalousies. Most Westgate homeowners eventually replace them entirely. We can quote both options side by side so you can see the math. Call (386) 251-6745 for a free estimate.

How do I know if my Westgate window has a seal failure?

If the glass has fog between the panes that doesn’t wipe off, if you see condensation trapped inside the glazing, or if the window feels cold against the skin in winter and hot in summer, the seal is compromised. The insulating gas has escaped, and the U-factor has degraded. In Westgate’s humidity, seal failures happen faster than in drier climates. We replace failed glass and frames. Call (386) 251-6745 to schedule an inspection.
