AfterWindow Company in Westchester, FL
Westlight Windows & Doors is the window company Westchester homeowners call when original jalousie windows finally give out or a 1960s aluminum frame starts leaking during wet season. We’re an independently owned and operated Kingswell location, and every Westchester job starts with a written price before any work begins. If you’re weighing replacement windows or a new front door on a CBS block home, call us at (903) 354-7134 for a free estimate, and we’ll talk straight about what the job actually needs.
Why Westchester Homes Are Different
Westchester is packed with 1950s and 1960s concrete block stucco homes, many continuously held by Cuban-American families since they were built. Plenty still have the original jalousie windows, those louvered glass slats that crank open and let every draft in, and they provide virtually zero hurricane resistance. They cannot be certified under Miami-Dade County’s High Velocity Hurricane Zone code, which means any replacement has to meet the strictest product certification standard in the country. That is the quiet reality of Westchester: the housing stock is masonry, not wood framing, so window openings sit directly in concrete block rather than stud cavities. Installers must use masonry-rated anchors and follow fastener spacing patterns spelled out in each product’s Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance. Out-of-county contractors who default to generic wood frame instructions routinely fail inspection here, and the homeowner is the one who pays for the delay. Young people buying their first Westchester home, second and third generation owners inheriting one, all of them hit the same wall: the windows look tired, the energy bills climb, and a proper replacement has to be done the Miami-Dade way or not at all.
Our Main Westchester Services
Most Westchester homeowners call us for one of three jobs: swapping out old aluminum or jalousie windows for impact rated ones, installing new windows in a masonry opening that has never had the right unit, or replacing a worn entry door that no longer seals tight. Each service has its own Westchester page with local pricing and specifics. Here is where to start.
Window Replacement in Westchester
Replacement in Westchester means pulling a jalousie or single pane aluminum unit out of a concrete block opening and setting a Miami-Dade NOA listed impact window in its place, anchored to masonry, flashed and sealed for wet season. We match the product to the opening rather than forcing one brand to fit. For full details, visit our Window Replacement in Westchester page.
Window Installation in Westchester
New window installation is common on Westchester additions and enclosed Florida rooms where an opening was framed years ago and never finished properly. We install the window, tie it into the block wall, and leave the job clean. If you’re adding a window or correcting a bad prior install, see Window Installation in Westchester.
Door Installation in Westchester
Front doors and rear doors on Westchester CBS homes often sit in openings that were never shimmed or flashed correctly, which shows up as daylight around the jamb and water on the floor after a hard rain. We replace the slab or the entire prehung unit, anchored into masonry. To see what a door replacement includes in Westchester, go to Door Installation in Westchester.

We do not revise quotes at the door. The numbers below reflect typical installed pricing for Westchester’s masonry CBS homes, and you will receive a written line item price before any work starts.
| Service | Typical range in Westchester |
|---|---|
| Single window replacement (impact rated, HVHZ) | $900-$2,400 installed |
| Full home window replacement (impact rated) | $12,000-$38,000 installed |

What pushes a Westchester quote higher is almost always the masonry opening: out of square block walls, old poured concrete sills that need grinding, or an existing frame that was never properly anchored and has to come out in pieces. We account for all of that up front and hand you a written price before any work begins.

FAQs About Window Company in Westchester
Yes. Westchester sits fully inside Miami-Dade’s High Velocity Hurricane Zone, so every replacement window and impact door must carry a Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance. We only install products with current NOAs and pull permits when required. Call (903) 354-7134 to confirm your specific opening before ordering anything.
We schedule Westchester jobs based on product lead time, not distance. Impact windows and doors are built to order, so while our team is local, the realistic wait is weeks, not days. We give you a committed arrival window in writing and show up in it. Call (903) 354-7134 for a free estimate and a straight timeline.
No. We give you a written price before any work starts and we do not revise it at the door. If we uncover something unexpected during the walkthrough, we tell you before you sign, not after. That is the whole point of the Kingswell Guarantee.

What Westchester Customers Say
"Our sliding patio door had come off its track years ago and we just lived with it. New one is smooth as butter. They hauled off the old one and vacuumed up before they left."
- Jessica Landry"Replaced eight drafty old windows that were basically single pane. The house is warmer already and the street noise is way down. Crew was on time both days and the price was exactly the quote."
- Harold Bemis"Our energy bill in summer was brutal. New windows made a real dent in it. Salesman wasn't pushy and didn't do the fake "today only" discount thing the others tried."
- Bethany Oh
