Sliding & Patio Doors in Westgate - Free In-Home Measure, Written Price

Fast, Reliable Sliding & Patio Doors Across Westgate

Custom Windows & Doors in Westgate usually runs between $2,800 and $6,500 installed for sliding patio door replacement, and because Westgate sits in Palm Beach County’s unincorporated wind-borne debris region, nearly every job also triggers impact-rated glazing and a county permit. That’s the part most homeowners don’t see coming. We do, because we’ve been in and out of these 1950s to 1970s CBS ranch homes long enough to know what’s behind the stucco before we open it. If you’re in Westgate and your slider binds, fogs, or won’t lock, call (561) 264-1279. We’ll send a background-checked, uniformed technician who measures twice and puts every line item on paper before any work starts.

Why TruePane Windows & Doors Is Westgate’s Preferred Sliding & Patio Doors Company

Westgate homeowners don’t call us because we’re the cheapest. They call us because they’ve already been through the cheap route once and they’re not doing it again. The homes here – dense pockets of CBS construction off Haverhill Road, north of West Palm Beach, stretching toward North Military Trail – have a particular way of hiding problems behind old aluminum tracks. A door that sticks in July. A threshold that’s quietly rotting. Glass that’s been fogged for three years and everyone just stopped noticing.

We’ve been led by second-generation glazier Dale Kessler since 2008, but the craft tradition runs back many years. That matters in Westgate because this is not a market where you can drop in a stock door and leave. The county’s inspection queue for unincorporated areas is different from the City of West Palm Beach, and the Florida Building Code Section 1609 impact requirements apply to every replacement opening. We know that queue. We pull the permit, we schedule the inspection, and we don’t hand you a door that fails the first look.

Every TruePane job in Westgate comes with the Done Right Promise and The Keystone Standard: both manufacturer warranty layers registered in writing, durations stated, before our truck leaves your driveway. If the pane is not true, the job is not done. That’s the founding rule, and it governs every install we’ve ever put into a Westgate CBS ranch.

Our Sliding & Patio Doors Services in Westgate

This page covers four doors we install most often in Westgate. Each one has different code, framing, and weatherproofing considerations here, so we quote them separately and in writing. No change orders, no surprise line items. If we find something wrong inside the wall, you approve the fix in writing before we touch it.

Patio Sliding Doors

Window Installation - Westgate projects often start with the standard two-panel patio slider, still the workhorse of post-war floor plans. These homes were built with modest square footage, and the back door was usually a single-pane aluminum unit with no thermal break. By now, most of them are pitted, binding, and non-compliant. We replace them with impact-rated patio sliders that meet Florida Building Code 1609, and we register both warranty layers before we leave. If you’re on a fixed income and the code trigger caught you off guard, we’ll walk you through what the permit actually requires and what it doesn’t.

Panoramic Sliding Systems

Not every Westgate home stays original. We get calls from homeowners who’ve opened up a back wall and want a wide panoramic slider – three, four, even five panels – to connect the living room to a screened patio or a small Florida room. That’s a bigger structural conversation. The opening has to carry the roof load, and in Westgate’s older CBS construction, the existing header is often undersized for anything wider than the original door. We quote that as a line item, not a surprise.

Heavy-Duty Sliding Doors

Impact-rated heavy-duty sliders are the standard recommendation for Westgate, and not only because of the wind code. Salt-laden Atlantic air blows inland across Palm Beach County, and it eats aluminum frames. A heavy-duty slider with a reinforced frame, stainless hardware, and a properly flashed threshold will outlast a builder-grade unit by a decade or more here. We install heavy-duty units from manufacturer lines including PGT and CGI service in Westgate, and we stock the replacement tracks, rollers, and handles our customers ask for most.

Pocket & Barn Doors

Door Installation - Westgate projects like pocket doors give back the floor space that two swinging doors eat up – a real consideration in smaller ranch layouts. But retrofitting a pocket door into a CBS interior wall is not a weekend job. It means opening the block, reframing the pocket, and re-hanging the drywall. We quote it fully loaded so the price you hear is the price you pay. Barn doors are a simpler install but still need proper header blocking, and we hang them so they don’t sag or drift off the track after a year of South Florida humidity.

We also install screen doors built to resist the same salt air that corrodes aluminum – more on that in the FAQs below. And for the full picture on what we offer throughout the region, see our Sliding & Patio Doors service page.

Common Sliding & Patio Doors Problems We See in Westgate Homes

After many years in this trade, and years specifically working Westgate’s unincorporated neighborhoods, these are the four failure modes we see most often on the original doors in these homes:

• Salt-pitted aluminum frames that bind and bend. The Atlantic is eight miles east, and the same breeze that kept these 1950s homes cool also carries salt that eats raw aluminum. We regularly pull Westgate sliders where the track has corroded so badly the sash rides up and over the rail. Often the only real fix is a new impact-rated unit with a thermally broken frame.
• Jalousie and single-pane sliders that drop below code the moment one louver cracks. In Westgate, a single cracked louver on an original jalousie or a cracked pane in a single-pane slider legally triggers a full replacement under the county’s reading of Florida Building Code 1609. Homeowners on fixed incomes get caught off guard by this. We explain it upfront, on the first call, so there are no surprises at permit review.
• Failed threshold waterproofing rotting the subfloor under the track. Tropical humidity is relentless, and on a 60-year-old Westgate house, the flashing tape under the sill pan is long gone. We’ve opened sliders where the subfloor under the track was soft enough to push a screwdriver through. That repair gets priced and approved in writing before we proceed.
• No thermal break and UV-blasted seals. Palm Beach County sun is unkind to old glazing. The rubber seals harden, the desiccant fails, and the glass fogs. A fogged panel is not cosmetic. It means the insulating gas is gone and the unit is no longer doing its job – and it almost always means the rest of the door is on borrowed time.
