Fast, Reliable Custom Windows & Doors Across Westgate
Custom windows and doors in Westgate are rarely a simple swap. Most of the homes here were built between the 1950s and 1970s with masonry-set jalousie louvers and hollow-core aluminum sliders mortared directly into concrete block. When you want a custom shape, an impact-rated upgrade, or an oversized glass panel, the opening itself usually has to be rebuilt before a new unit ever goes in. TruePane Windows & Doors has been doing exactly that work across Westgate for years, and the process is never a mystery to our customers. You’ll know what your mason has to do, what your permit triggers, and what your final number will be before we start. If you’re ready to talk through a project, call (954) 280-4413 and a live person will answer.
Why TruePane Windows & Doors Is Westgate’s Preferred Custom Windows & Doors Company
Westgate homeowners tend to be people who have lived in the same house for twenty or thirty years and have no plans to leave. They call us because the work is done right the first time and because Dale Kessler, our second-generation glazier, still runs the company the way he did when he founded it in 2008: if the pane is not true, the job is not done.
Our technicians are background-checked and uniformed. They measure every opening twice, quote manufacturer lines side by side on paper, and register both warranty layers in writing before the truck leaves your driveway. That’s The Keystone Standard, and it’s not a slogan. It’s the paperwork on your kitchen counter. Every job also carries the Done Right Promise: if it’s not done right, we make it right. No arguing, no fine print. We stand behind it.
We also understand Westgate’s specific housing stock better than most. When a 1962 CBS ranch off Okeechobee Boulevard comes up for quotes, we already know what’s behind the wall. That means our estimates account for the mason’s work up front, not as a surprise line item after the louver frames come out.
Our Custom Windows & Doors Services in Westgate
Our full Custom Windows & Doors team works across Westgate on everything from single-unit replacements to full home impact conversions. These are the areas where Westgate homes need the most attention.
Custom Shape Windows
A custom shape window in Westgate is almost always a framed rough-opening job from our Window Replacement in Westgate, not a pocket insert. The original openings in Westgate’s concrete-block homes were never framed for arch tops, radius corners, or oversized picture units. We work with a mason to cut and re-form the block, then build a pressure-treated buck to carry the new window. You get exactly the shape you want, set square and anchored to meet Palm Beach County wind-load minimums.

Architectural Grilles & SDLs
Westgate ranch homes look sharp with simulated divided lites that echo the mid-century lines of the original architecture. We install SDL bars between the glass panes so you keep the look without the maintenance of true divided lites, or we build true divided lites in wood or aluminum where the design calls for it. Either way, the grille pattern stays true after a storm, which matters in a wind-borne debris region.

Oversized Glass Panels
If you’re opening up a living room wall facing your backyard, an oversized fixed glass panel can change the whole feel of a 1960s Westgate ranch. These panels sometimes run six to eight feet in one direction, which means the structural header above the opening has to carry serious load. We have the engineering relations to specify the right header, and we pull the permit so the inspection happens before the trim goes on. No guessing.

Curtain Wall Systems
For the few commercial storefronts and small offices scattered through Westgate’s commercial corridors, a curtain wall system needs to move with thermal expansion while staying sealed against humidity. We install and service aluminum curtain wall with proper weep systems and structural silicone, and we keep the work quiet enough that your tenants aren’t disrupted during business hours.
We also handle Custom Windows & Doors in Westgate as our primary service area, with dispatch coordinated from our South Florida office so a crew can get to you without a regional call center standing in between.

Common Custom Windows & Doors Problems We See in Westgate Homes
Westgate’s original windows were never designed for modern hurricane code. Here’s what shows up most often when we open up these houses:
- Masonry-set jalousie frames that have corroded loose. The louver frames are mortared directly into the block with no nailing fin. After fifty or sixty years of humidity, the aluminum oxidizes and the frame separates from the mortar. Wind-driven rain gets in behind the opening, and by the time you see a water stain on the interior, the block behind the frame is already soft.
- Hollow-core aluminum sliders that no longer seal. Intracoastal humidity accelerates oxidation on the original mill-finish aluminum frames and the track loses alignment. You can’t seal a door that doesn’t close square, and wind-borne debris protection starts at the threshold.
- Undersized rough openings from bad retrofit attempts. A homeowner tries to save money by slipping a standard impact window into a jalousie opening. The mason step gets skipped. The unit binds, the sash won’t seat, and the whole assembly fails wind-load testing. By the time we’re called in, the homeowner has paid for the window twice and the opening is still wrong.
- Failed glazing on oversized or custom glass panels. Some Westgate homes have had custom picture windows installed over the years without proper engineering. Thermal stress cracks the insulated unit, or the frame racks because the header was never sized for the span. We replace the glass and the load path, not just the pane.
Pricing for Custom Windows & Doors in Westgate, FL
Here are real ranges based on work we have priced in Westgate, not national averages from a website. A standard custom-shaped impact casement for an original Westgate opening, including the mason’s cut-back work and a new pressure-treated buck, typically runs $2,400-$4,800 per opening depending on size and the manufacturer line. Architectural grilles or SDLs add $60-$180 per sash. An oversized fixed glass panel with a structural header and permit runs $4,500-$9,000, and a full curtain wall rebuild for a small Westgate storefront lands in the $180-$320 per square foot range. The final number depends on how much of the original rough opening has to be re-formed, which is why our estimator scopes the mason’s work on the first visit, not after the wall is open. Estimates are free, and the price we put in writing is the price you pay unless you change the scope. Call (954) 280-4413 to schedule yours.

FAQs - Custom Windows & Doors in Westgate
Westgate’s original windows are masonry-set jalousie louver units, meaning the aluminum frames were mortared directly into concrete block with no nailing flange or wood buck. To install a code-compliant impact window, a mason has to chip out the old louver frame, square up the rough opening, and often patch the block before the installer can anchor the new unit. Skipping that step leaves the window undersized for its required anchorage, which is why so many attempted retrofits end up binding. Call (954) 280-4413 and we’ll tell you whether your openings need the mason before we ever schedule work.
No. Impact film and removable shutters do not change the fact that the jalousie frame itself is aluminum mortared into block with no structural anchorage. For a window to meet current Florida Building Code wind-load standards in Westgate’s wind-borne debris region, the entire assembly, including the frame and its anchoring, has to be Florida Product Approved. Film and shutters are a temporary layer on top of an opening that remains non-compliant. A replacement is the only path to real code compliance, and the mason’s work is part of that path. We’ll walk you through exactly what the permit requires.
Insurance. Westgate sits inside Palm Beach County’s wind-borne debris region, and insurers are increasingly non-renewing or surcharging policies on homes that still have original jalousie or single-pane aluminum openings. Homeowners who’ve paid premiums for decades are getting letters demanding impact-rated windows and doors. The upgrade is often the only way to keep coverage affordable, and in some cases the only way to keep it at all. A full impact conversion with Westgate Door Installation is the defining project type in this zip code right now.
The first thing we do is scope it before we open anything. When a jalousie frame comes out of a 1960s CBS wall, we expect to find corroded anchors, softened block, and sometimes rotted wood sub-framing where past owners added openings. We write a material and labor allowance into the contract so those conditions are priced ahead of time. If we find something beyond the allowance, we stop, show you exactly what’s there, and get your written approval before we spend another dollar. The final bill doesn’t move unless you approve it. That’s how a square deal works.
Yes, but it starts with the opening, not the window. Your original Westgate home has concrete-block walls with openings that were sized for standard jalousie units. A custom arch, a radius corner, or an oversized picture window means cutting new opening dimensions and installing a proper structural header. We bring in the engineer and the mason as needed, pull the permit, and get the rough opening inspected before the new unit is set. The result is a true custom shape that carries the load properly and meets Palm Beach County code. Call (954) 280-4413 and we’ll take a look at your wall and tell you what’s possible.
