AfterWindow Company in North Lauderdale, FL
Westlight Windows & Doors is a window company serving North Lauderdale with window replacement, window installation, and door installation. Most of the homes we work on here are 1970s and early 1980s concrete block tract houses still wearing their original single-pane aluminum windows, which means the job is usually a code-compliance upgrade, not a cosmetic swap. If you’re wondering what it costs or whether your windows will pass a Broward County inspection, call (903) 354-7134 and we’ll walk you through it.
Owen Satterfield leads our team, and the way we work in North Lauderdale is simple: every price goes in writing before any work starts, and every job gets a written guarantee when it’s finished.
Why North Lauderdale Homes Are Different
North Lauderdale sits inside Broward County’s High-Velocity Hurricane Zone (HVHZ), and that single fact changes nearly every window and door job here. A product that carries standard Florida Building Code approval and sails through inspection in Delray Beach or Orlando will get rejected in North Lauderdale unless it has Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance (NOA) or HVHZ-specific product approval. We verify that paperwork before we order a single unit, because getting burned at inspection helps no one.
The housing stock compounds the issue. North Lauderdale was built out between the late 1960s and early 1980s as affordable CBS tract homes and smaller garden apartments. Those buildings still largely have their original aluminum jalousie, single-pane sliders, or louvered windows, installed decades before post-Hurricane Andrew codes existed. Add South Florida humidity sitting 12 to 15 miles inland from the Atlantic, and you get aluminum frames oxidizing, wood door jambs swelling and falling out of plumb, and seals failing faster than homeowners expect. The work here is rarely a simple swap; it’s bringing an older house up to the standard the county now demands.
Our Main North Lauderdale Services
Window replacement and door installation are the two calls we get most often in North Lauderdale, and window installation covers new construction and remodels. Each service has its own page with pricing and specifics.
Window Replacement in North Lauderdale
Replacing original single-pane aluminum windows in a North Lauderdale CBS home usually means pulling the old frame, checking the rough opening for moisture damage, and setting an HVHZ-approved unit. The existing openings in these tract homes are consistent, which helps, but the code paperwork is where out-of-town contractors stumble. We handle the product approvals up front. See full pricing and what to expect on our Window Replacement in North Lauderdale page.
Window Installation in North Lauderdale
For additions, remodels, or blocked-up openings, new window installation in North Lauderdale follows the same HVHZ rulebook. Framing, flashing, and anchoring all have to meet a wind-load standard that most of Florida doesn’t face. We measure, order, and install to the county’s requirement, and you get a written price before the first cut. Details are on the Window Installation in North Lauderdale page.
Door Installation in North Lauderdale
Entry doors in North Lauderdale take a beating from humidity and afternoon storms. A wood jamb that’s been swelling for 20 seasons won’t hold a new door square, so we often replace the frame and threshold along with the slab. Every door we install here meets the same Miami-Dade NOA or HVHZ product approval that windows do. Read the specifics on the Door Installation in North Lauderdale page.

Pricing for Window Company in North Lauderdale, FL
| Service | Typical range in North Lauderdale |
|---|---|
| Single window replacement (standard size) | $650-$1,200 installed |
| Full-home window replacement (8-12 windows) | $7,000-$15,000 |
| Impact window (PGT or CGI, single unit) | $950-$1,800 installed |
| Sliding glass door replacement | $1,800-$3,500 |
| Entry door installation (steel or fiberglass) | $1,200-$2,800 |
| Single-pane to impact conversion (per opening) | $1,100-$2,200 |
| New construction window (remodel or addition) | $750-$1,500 per window |
| French or patio door replacement | $2,200-$4,500 |
| Door frame and threshold rebuild (rot repair) | $400-$900 |
| Impact door installation (HVHZ-rated) | $1,800-$3,800 |
What pushes a North Lauderdale quote toward the high end is usually the approval paperwork and the condition of the opening. Rot repair, undersized headers, and openings that are no longer square add labor before the new unit ever goes in. What doesn’t change is our promise: you get a written price before any work starts, and that price doesn’t move at the door.

FAQs About Window Company in North Lauderdale
Yes. Every window and door replacement in North Lauderdale requires Broward County permitting under HVHZ rules, and we pull the permit with the appropriate Miami-Dade NOA or Florida Product Approval documentation attached. Inspections are scheduled as part of the job. Call (903) 354-7134 to talk through what your project needs.
Most estimates in North Lauderdale are scheduled within a day or two, and we give you a real arrival window, not a four-hour maybe. A live person answers the phone around the clock, so you can book at a time that works. Call (903) 354-7134 and we’ll get you on the schedule.
The HVHZ product approval requirement is the main reason. Contractors who buy standard Florida-approved windows discover at inspection that North Lauderdale won’t accept them, and they eat the cost or walk away. We verify the approvals before ordering, so the job doesn’t stall at permit review. Call (903) 354-7134 for a free estimate.

- Craig Dillard"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."
