AfterFast, Reliable Sliding & Patio Doors Across Westgate
We replace and install sliding and patio doors throughout Westgate, Florida, and we know the homes here. Most of the CBS block houses in this unincorporated Palm Beach County community were built between the late 1940s and early 1970s, which means the original aluminum sliders and jalousie windows are still doing a job they stopped doing safely decades ago. If your sliding door binds in July, fogs between the panes, or won’t latch because the slab has settled, call us at (386) 251-6745. We’ll send a background-checked, uniformed technician to Westgate to measure, quote, and give you a straight answer.
Replacing a patio door in Westgate often costs more than a straightforward door swap because of what’s behind the trim. You’ll find the honest numbers below, with the reasons spelled out plainly.
Why TruePane Windows & Doors Is Westgate’s Preferred Sliding & Patio Doors Company
Our founder, Dale Kessler, is a second-generation glazier. He started TruePane Windows & Doors in 2008 after noticing something many Westgate homeowners already know: out-of-true installs and voided warranties had become the standard, and it was worth building a company that fixed both problems. We’ve been serving local communities since 2008 through that heritage, and the rule on the whiteboard hasn’t changed: if the pane is not true, the job is not done.
We understand what a Westgate replacement actually involves. Crews here contend with masonry-set jambs, settled slabs, and county permitting rather than city approvals. When you call us, a live person answers. Not a voicemail tree. Not a call center. That matters when a patio door won’t close and a storm is rolling in off the Atlantic.
Every job carries the Done Right Promise and The Keystone Standard: both manufacturer warranty layers registered in writing, durations stated, before our truck leaves your driveway. No fine print that covers neither. No arguing about what was promised. Seniors and veterans receive a permanent 5% discount, and we’re proud to sponsor county fairs and church roof funds across the area because we plan to be here in thirty years.
Our Sliding & Patio Doors Services in Westgate
This is the work we do most often in Westgate’s older single-story homes. Each job starts with an honest assessment of the opening, the frame, and the slab, because that’s what determines price and scope. Here’s what we offer as part of our Sliding & Patio Doors work.
Patio Sliding Doors
Westgate’s original 1950s and 1960s patio sliders are the most common point of failure we see. The aluminum tracks corrode from decades of humidity and afternoon convective storms, the rollers seize, and the sash jumps the rail when you try to open it. In many cases a full replacement with an impact-rated sliding door is the only path that satisfies Palm Beach County’s wind-load requirements. We quote Andersen, Pella, and Milgard side by side on paper so you can see exactly what you’re buying.
Heavy-Duty Sliding Doors
For CBS homes with slab settling, a lightweight builder-grade door won’t last. Heavy-duty sliding doors built on reinforced frames handle the movement that occurs when Westgate’s sandy soil shifts and the slab drops a quarter inch over forty years. We core-drill masonry anchors, set pressure-treated bucks, and hang the door square. That’s the difference between a door that slides for twenty years and one that binds within three.
Screen Door Installation
Many older Westgate homes still have their original aluminum screen doors, now stretched, sagging, or torn along the track. A properly fitted screen door lets the evening breeze through without letting in the bugs that breed in this humidity. We measure every opening twice and set the frame so the screen floats without dragging.
Pocket & Barn Doors
Some Westgate homeowners are reconfiguring modest floor plans and want pocket doors to save swinging-door clearance. In CBS construction, the wall cavity often needs to be framed out with pressure-treated lumber because the block wall isn’t built to accept a pocket kit. We handle that structural work, not just the door itself.

Trusted Brands We Service in Westgate
We’re an authorized installer for more than a dozen manufacturer lines, including, PGT, CGI, and ES Windows. For Westgate homeowners specifically, we often recommend impact-rated lines like PGT or CGI because the Florida Building Code puts this area in a 140 to 150 mph design wind-speed zone. We also work with ECO Window Systems when the job calls for them. Side-by-side quotes on paper are standard. You shouldn’t have to guess what a brand costs or whether the warranty is registered.
Common Sliding & Patio Doors Problems We See in Westgate Homes
- Uninsurable wind ratings. Original 1950s aluminum sliders and jalousies flatly fail Palm Beach County’s current wind-load requirements. Insurance companies know this. We document the deficiency and help you qualify for wind-mitigation credits after replacement.
- Corroded tracks and dead rollers. High year-round humidity eats aluminum frames faster here than in drier parts of Florida. Rollers seize, the door grinds when you pull it, and eventually the panel won’t move at all.
- Slab settlement causing the door to rack. Westgate’s open lots drain poorly in spots, and concrete slabs settle over time. The door panel goes out of square, gaps open at the corners, and water finds its way inside during a hard rain.
- Swollen, racked wood jambs. For the homes with wood-framed patio openings, the humidity swells the wood, the jamb racks, and the door jams shut in summer or won’t latch in winter. That’s a frame repair before it’s a door repair.
Pricing for Sliding & Patio Doors in Westgate, FL
Here are the numbers we’d expect to quote for typical Westgate work, as of this writing.
- Full frame-out patio sliding door replacement (impact-rated, CBS home): $2,800 - $6,500
- Heavy-duty sliding door, masonry-set jamb with core-drilled anchors: $3,200 - $7,800
- Screen door installation or replacement, fitted to an existing slider: $280 - $700
- Pocket door installation in a CBS wall with pressure-treated framing: $1,500 - $3,600
- Roller or track repair on an existing aluminum slider (no glass replacement): $180 - $480
These are real ranges, not teaser numbers. What moves the price is the condition of the jamb, whether the opening is masonry-set or wood-framed, and whether the slab has settled enough to require re-anchoring the rough opening.

FAQs - Sliding & Patio Doors in Westgate
Westgate is unincorporated, so there’s no city building department. The permit goes through Palm Beach County, and because you’re in a 140 to 150 mph wind zone, the replacement door must meet impact or storm-panel standards. TruePane pulls the permit for you and schedules the required inspections. Call (386) 251-6745 and we’ll walk you through what the county will ask for.
In almost every CBS home we’ve seen in Westgate, you need a full frame-out replacement, not a glass swap. The original aluminum frame is not impact-rated, the jamb is often masonry-set directly into the block, and the whole opening needs to be brought up to current code before an insurer will credit it. We’ll confirm it during the quote and show you exactly what the existing opening looks like.
It can, and it often does. Jalousie windows with cracked or dried rubber gaskets are functionally uninsurable under today’s underwriting rules, and many Westgate homeowners discover this only when their policy comes up for renewal. While we’re quoting the patio door, we flag any jalousies and document them for your wind-mitigation report. Replacing both at once often saves on mobilization and permit costs. Call (386) 251-6745 for an honest look.
No. Fog between the panes means the seal has failed and the insulated glass unit has lost its gas fill. The door is no longer insulating properly. On a Westgate home, that often pairs with corroded rollers and a sagging track. Depending on the age and frame condition, we can either replace the glass unit or quote a full replacement if the frame is too far gone.
Sometimes a roller adjustment gets it sliding again, but if the slab has truly settled, the rough opening is out of square and adjusting the rollers only masks the problem. The door will keep racking, the weatherstripping won’t seat, and water will eventually find its way in. We’ll measure the opening and tell you whether it’s a roller job or a reset-and-reanchor before you spend a dime.
