Fast, Reliable Window Installation Across Westgate
Westgate Window Replacement means working on homes built between the 1950s and 1970s, most of them single-story CBS ranch construction with original aluminum or jalousie windows that were never designed for today’s wind codes. A standard single-window replacement here runs $800 – $1,400 installed for vinyl double-hung units, while full impact-rated retrofits on a lanai-facing wall typically run $1,900 – $3,200 per opening, including new mullions and anchoring. Our crews know every street pattern in Westgate, from the numbered avenues off Westgate Avenue to the older pockets near the east side. Call (728) 728-9381 and we’ll give you a written price before any work starts.
Why Meridian Windows and Doors West Palm Beach Is Westgate’s Preferred Window Installation Company
We’ve built our reputation in Westgate on showing up when we say we will and putting every number on paper before a single screw turns. Homeowners here have told us stories about contractors who quoted one price on the phone and another at the door, or who left a sill caulked so badly the salt air got in within a season. We don’t run that way. Every Westgate job gets a written quote, and that quote does not move unless the scope of work changes and you approve it in writing first.
Our Window Installation team includes background-checked, uniformed technicians. When they arrive at your Westgate home, you know exactly who is walking through the door. The phones are answered by a live person 24 hours a day, seven days a week, even on Sundays when a storm has just passed and you’re staring at a cracked window track. Elliot Vance leads the operation, and the 365-Day Done Right Promise is his standard: if the installation fails within a year, we return at no charge. No fine print about labor exclusions.
Double Hung Windows in Westgate
Double hung windows in Westgate are the most common replacement we install, and for good reason. Most of the original 1950s-1970s ranch homes here had single-pane aluminum sashes that fog, corrode, and leak air. A double hung replacement gives you two operable sashes that tilt in for cleaning, plus a tighter seal against the salt-laden air that moves through this part of Palm Beach County. Expect to pay $800 – $1,400 per opening installed, depending on size and whether you go with standard low-E glass or impact-rated laminated glass.
Impact-Rated Configurations for East-Facing Walls
Westgate sits in a high-velocity hurricane zone, and the east-facing sides of homes here catch the worst of it. Double hungs headed for those walls should be spec’d with Miami-Dade NOA approved laminated glass, not just standard impact ratings. The laminated interlayer holds the glass together if a missile hits, and the frame requires proper mullion anchoring that the original thin-gauge aluminum tracks simply don’t have.
Replacing Original Aluminum or Jalousie Units
We see a lot of original jalousie windows in Westgate, especially on older ranches near the east side. These units leak air constantly and don’t meet current code for windborne debris protection. A double hung replacement means reframing the opening to accept a modern, square, sealed unit, and we write those reframing allowances into your contract before demo starts so you’re never surprised.
Vinyl Windows in Westgate
Vinyl windows in Westgate make sense for homeowners who want a clean, low-maintenance replacement that won’t oxidize the way old aluminum frames do. Salt air is a real problem here, especially within a mile or two of the coast, and vinyl frames don’t pit or corrode. A standard vinyl single or double hung in Westgate runs $750 – $1,300 installed, while vinyl casement or picture windows run $900 – $1,600. The price includes tear-out of the old unit, proper flashing, and a written workmanship guarantee.
Low-E Glass and UV Protection
Westgate gets intense sun exposure, and older single-pane windows do almost nothing to stop UV from fading floors and furniture. Low-E glass (a thin coating that reflects heat while letting light through) cuts that UV transmission significantly and reduces cooling load during the summer, when the AC runs hardest. We stock low-E vinyl units from ES Windows and ECO Window Systems, and we can have them spec’d to your opening sizes without waiting on a special order.
When to Replace Rather Than Repair
If your vinyl window has a cracked weld, a warped sash, or a failed seal, replacement usually makes more sense than repair in Westgate. The humidity and salt air accelerate seal failure, and a fogged unit can’t be re-sealed effectively. A new vinyl unit with a fresh seal and modern weatherstripping will outperform a patched old one every time, and the installed price is written down before we start.
Trusted Brands We Service in Westgate
We install and replace products from ES Windows, ECO Window Systems, and Mr-Glass, among others. That matters for Westgate homeowners because we stock local parts and hardware for these lines, which means shorter turnaround when you need a replacement sash or a new balance. We also install Therma-Tru entry doors for the many Westgate homes with original hollow-core doors that are undersized for today’s code and easy to force open. You get the right product spec’d for the job, not the one we happen to have sitting in the truck.
Common Window Installation Problems We See in Westgate Homes
- Missing mullion anchors on original aluminum tracks. Westgate’s 1950s-1970s ranches often have thin-gauge framing that was never designed to hold a modern missile-rated panel. When we open the wall, we frequently find there’s nothing behind the track to anchor a new impact window to, which means reframing before the new unit can go in.
- Salt-air corrosion on aluminum frames. The Atlantic isn’t far, and the humid salt-laden air oxidizes older aluminum, pits the finish, and degrades seals. Fogged insulated glass and air leaks within 10 to 15 years are common on original units near Westgate’s east side.
- Rotting wood bucks behind original jalousie frames. We regularly find that the wood surrounding old jalousie frames has rotted from decades of moisture intrusion. That wood has to come out and be replaced with treated stock before a new window can be properly flashed and sealed.
- Undersized jambs and framing discovered during retrofit. Some Westgate homes were built with framing that doesn’t meet current code requirements for wind load. A permit-triggered inspection often catches these issues, which is why we write allowances for reframing and code upgrades into every Westgate contract before work begins.

FAQs About Window Installation in Westgate
Westgate sits in the high-velocity hurricane zone, which requires impact-rated products to carry Miami-Dade NOA (Notice of Acceptance) approval, a stricter standard than Florida Product Approval. NOA testing subjects windows to large-missile impact and cyclic wind pressure tests specific to HVHZ counties like Palm Beach. If you’re installing impact windows on an east-facing wall in Westgate, your permit inspector will check for that NOA number. Call (728) 728-9381 if you want us to verify whether your existing units meet the requirement.
Yes, it often does. When we pull a permit for impact window replacement in Westgate, the inspector may flag undersized jambs, missing mullion anchors, or outdated wiring that’s exposed once walls are open. We handle this by writing allowances into your contract before we start, and any surprise is priced and approved in writing before we touch it. Call (728) 728-9381 and we’ll walk you through what inspection typically turns up in a 1950s-1970s CBS ranch.
In most Westgate homes, no. The original thin-gauge aluminum tracks were not designed to support a modern impact-rated panel, and the frames usually lack proper mullion anchors. Adding laminated glass to a frame that can’t hold it under HVHZ design pressure means the window becomes the weak point in the wall. We assess each frame on-site and tell you straight whether it’s salvageable. Call (728) 728-9381 for a free frame assessment.
Salt air accelerates corrosion on any metal component that isn’t protected. We spec marine-grade hardware and corrosion-resistant frame materials for homes within a few miles of the Atlantic, and we recommend vinyl or properly coated aluminum over untreated metal. New vinyl frames from ES Windows or ECO Window Systems won’t pit or oxidize the way original aluminum does. Call (728) 728-9381 and we’ll recommend the right material for your home’s specific exposure.
Yes. Original jalousie windows leak conditioned air constantly, and single-pane glass does almost nothing to block solar heat gain. Switching to impact-rated low-E double-hung or casement windows seals the envelope and reflects heat while letting light through, which reduces the runtime on your AC during Westgate summers. The savings won’t fully offset the install cost in a year, but over the life of the window the comfort and storm protection are the real returns. Call (728) 728-9381 for a written quote.
