West Gate’s aging CBS homes, most built in the 1950s through 1970s, were never designed for the wind loads and salt air they’ve absorbed for half a century. The original aluminum single-pane windows flex under wind-driven rain. Pre-code door frames lack proper header connections. Every permitted replacement triggers current Florida Building Code requirements, and that’s where local experience stops being a nice-to-have and becomes the difference between a clean inspection and a stop-work order.

Why Barrett & Sons Construction Is West Gate’s Preferred Windows & Doors Company

Tom Barrett founded this company in 1998, and he still runs it with his sons on-site most days. That’s not marketing language, it’s how we work. When a West Gate homeowner calls about a sticking impact slider or a door that won’t seal against afternoon thunderstorms, they talk to someone who knows the difference between a 1958 CBS opening and a 2005 frame-out. We answer our own phone, 24 hours a day, and we don’t route calls to an out-of-state call center.

West Gate sits in unincorporated Palm Beach County, which means every permit and inspection runs through the county’s Building Division rather than a city building department. The county inspectors cover a sprawling multi-community territory, so scheduling a rough-in or framing inspection can take several extra days compared to municipalities with their own on-call inspectors. We’ve built our West Gate project schedules around that reality for years, and we tell you about it upfront instead of letting you discover it when the drywall is already hung.

Every job we do includes written change orders before any scope change touches the work. If the county inspector requires hurricane straps or additional anchoring that wasn’t visible during the estimate, you’ll see the price adjustment in writing before we proceed. And every completed job carries our 90-Day Done Right Promise: if something isn’t right, Tom comes back and makes it right, one call. That’s the same promise we’ve put on every contract since 1998.

Our Windows & Doors Services in West Gate

We focus on the window and door work that actually matters in West Gate’s housing stock: impact-rated replacements, sliding glass doors built for 160+ mph design pressure, and window swaps that don’t leave your block walls vulnerable to humidity intrusion. Every Windows & Doors project starts with the same question: what’s the county going to require, and what’s the salt air going to attack first?

Hurricane Impact Windows

Impact windows are the single most common replacement we install in West Gate, and for good reason. The area falls within Palm Beach County’s High-Velocity Hurricane Zone, which mandates strict wind-load compliance on all permitted structural alterations. Original 1950s and 60s jalousie windows were never designed for impact resistance. We install Simonton and PGT impact units engineered for the 160 mph design pressure the county requires, and we handle the permit paperwork so the inspection actually passes the first time.

Impact Sliding Glass Doors

If your West Gate home has an original sliding door facing the yard, chances are the frame has shifted, the rollers are shot, and the track fills with water during the June-to-October wet season. We replace older sliders with impact-rated units built for South Florida conditions. The opening gets re-squared, the anchors get upgraded to current tie-down requirements, and the final product seals against wind-driven rain instead of channeling it under the threshold.

Window Replacement

Window replacement in West Gate typically runs $4,500 to $15,000 depending on the count, the size, and whether the county requires structural upgrades at each opening. On a 1960s CBS home off Haverhill Road, our crew removed original jalousie windows and installed impact-rated units. The county inspector’s rough-in check found missing hurricane straps at the existing openings, so we pulled the surrounding block, added stainless anchors, and re-set the frames to meet current tie-down requirements before the sign-off. That’s the kind of thing a West Gate window replacement can involve, and it’s why we don’t quote a job until we’ve looked at the openings ourselves.

Door Installation

Door replacements in West Gate rarely stay simple. Pre-code door frames often lack load-bearing header connections, so even a side-door swap can expose rot and non-compliant anchoring that must be upgraded before inspection. We install exterior doors rated for coastal exposure, with stainless hardware and sealed thresholds that handle West Gate’s wet-season humidity without rusting or swelling shut.

Trusted Brands We Service in West Gate

We’re not a van full of mystery-brand materials. For West Gate jobs, we regularly install PGT and CGI impact windows and doors because both manufacturers build products engineered specifically for the High-Velocity Hurricane Zone. Simonton windows work well for standard replacements where impact-rated glass isn’t required by code. We stock common hardware and replacement parts for these brands locally, which means faster turnaround on parts for West Gate homeowners than waiting on a national supplier to ship from a warehouse in Georgia.

Common Windows & Doors Problems We See in West Gate Homes

• Corroded internal hardware from salt air. Original aluminum single-pane windows from the 1950s through 70s flex and leak under wind-driven rain, and that allows salt air from the Atlantic to reach the internal hardware. Locks, cranks, and hinges corrode from the inside out, and by the time the window won’t lock, the frame is usually compromised too.
• Non-compliant anchors on pre-code door frames. Many West Gate doors were set without the header connections and tie-down hardware the Florida Building Code now requires. Any door replacement triggers a rough-in inspection, and the county inspector will flag the missing anchors before you get your final sign-off.
• Humidity wicking through unsealed exterior joints. Unsealed joints around windows and doors wick humidity into the CBS walls, and in West Gate’s subtropical climate that means paint blistering and interior mildew within a few wet seasons. The fix isn’t more caulk, it’s removing the old sealant, addressing any rot or corrosion, and installing a proper backer rod and marine-grade sealant.
• Failed rollers and tracks on original sliding doors. The combination of salt air, sand, and humidity wrecks sliding door hardware fast in West Gate. By the time the door sticks or scrapes, the rollers are usually binding, the track is pitted, and the frame has shifted enough that a simple roller swap won’t fix it.
