Window Company in Margate, FL
Window and door work in Margate, FL carries a specific set of challenges that contractors from outside the area routinely underestimate. The city’s housing stock – mostly concrete block homes from the 1950s through the 1980s – pairs non-standard openings with original aluminum frames that the salty coastal air has been eating at for decades. We’re Westlight Windows & Doors, and we install replacement windows and doors across Margate with pricing put in writing before any work starts. Call (754) 354-5397 to talk through what your home needs.
Why Margate Homes Are Different
Margate’s single-family homes, especially in Oriole Gardens and Margate Gardens, were mostly built when thin aluminum window frames were the default. Sixty years of salt-laden breeze and intense South Florida sun leaves those frames corroded at the weep holes, and after any major storm we see a surge of calls for water staining along interior sills. The original jalousie and single-pane aluminum units rarely fit standard replacement sizes, so most Margate jobs involve real shimming and frame adjustment to get a new hurricane-rated window seated correctly in an old opening.
The climate is the other variable. Margate sits just west of the Intracoastal, which means humid air, salt, and the full force of summer thunderstorm season all work against window seals and door thresholds. Anything we install here has to meet High Velocity Hurricane Zone impact standards, and the flashing and sealing details matter as much as the glass itself. A window that works fine in a drier climate fails early in Margate if the perimeter isn’t flashed to handle wind-driven rain.
Our Main Margate Services
Most Margate homeowners reach out for one of two reasons: old windows that leak, fog, or won’t open, or doors that have swollen, sagged, or stopped shutting tight. Here’s what each service involves in Margate specifically.
Window Replacement in Margate
Replacing windows in Margate usually means pulling a corroded aluminum frame out of a concrete block wall and fitting a new impact-rated unit into an opening that isn’t perfectly square. We carry eight manufacturer lines, so we can match the right product to the opening rather than forcing the opening to match one brand. The wet-dry cycles here punish shortcuts, so every install gets full perimeter flashing and a written guarantee at completion. Window Replacement in Margate covers the full process, typical timelines, and what to expect on a 1960s block home.
Window Installation in Margate
New construction and addition work in Margate requires windows that can handle HVHZ wind loads from day one. We install across the eight lines we stock, including impact-rated options from PGT and CGI, and our crews are background-checked and uniformed. Scheduling is coordinated from our South Florida office, but the crew that shows up at your Margate home works locally and knows the permitting expectations in Broward County. Window Installation in Margate walks through the process and what installation adds to your total cost.
Door Installation in Margate
Front doors in Margate take direct sun and driving rain, and an entry door that swells in humidity or leaks at the threshold is a real security and water-intrusion problem. We install exterior doors with corrosion-resistant hardware and proper sill pan flashing so water moves away from the opening, not under it. The right product matters here – a hollow-core interior door hung as a front door in Margate won’t make it through one hurricane season. Door Installation in Margate explains product options and typical timelines for Margate homes.

Pricing for Window Company in Margate, FL
Every Margate job gets a written price before any work starts – no revised invoices at the door, no surprises after the opening is torn out. Here are the ranges we quote most often across the city.
| Service | Typical range in Margate |
|---|---|
| Single-window replacement (standard size, standard install) | $600 – $1,200 |
| Single-window replacement (non-standard / block opening) | $1,100 – $1,900 |
| Full-home window replacement (10 – 14 openings) | $12,000 – $22,000 |

| Interior door installation (standard prehung) | $450 – $900 per door |
| Full-home door replacement (front + rear + garage entry) | $6,000 – $15,000 |
The two things that push Margate prices toward the top of these ranges are non-standard opening sizes – common on 1960s and 1970s block homes – and the need for full-frame replacement when the original aluminum frame has corroded beyond saving. Every quote is fixed before work starts, and the Kingswell Guarantee puts that price in writing.
