AfterWindow Company in Lighthouse Point, FL
Replacing windows or doors in Lighthouse Point means working with two forces most South Florida contractors never have to think about: salt-laden canal air and Broward County’s High-Velocity Hurricane Zone code. Nearly every home here sits within a block of saltwater, and a large share still carry original 1960s and 1970s single-pane aluminum or jalousie windows that were never built for either condition. We’re Westlight Windows & Doors, an independently owned and operated Kingswell location, and we match impact-rated products from PGT, CGI, CWS, and ES Windows to the specific demands of Lighthouse Point homes. Call (903) 354-7134 for a written quote before any work starts.
Why Lighthouse Point Homes Are Different
Lighthouse Point is one of Broward County’s most canal-dense municipalities. Depending on which street you live on, you’re rarely more than a block from saltwater, and that changes how window frames, door hardware, and insulated glass units age. Aluminum window frames oxidize faster here than they do five miles inland. Multi-point door hardware corrodes. IGU seals fail early. We see the same pattern across the city, not just on direct waterfront lots.
Then there’s the code. The entire city falls within Broward County’s High-Velocity Hurricane Zone, which means every permitted window and door replacement must carry a Miami-Dade/Broward NOA, a Notice of Acceptance. That standard is stricter than most of Florida. Shutters do not satisfy it for new work. If you’re replacing a window or door in Lighthouse Point, the replacement itself has to be impact-rated. The older the home, the more likely the current openings fall short of what a permit requires today.
Much of the housing stock was built out in the 1960s and 1970s as custom and semi-custom waterfront homes. A meaningful share still have original jalousie windows, the louvered glass style that gives those mid-century ranches their character. Jalousies cannot be made HVHZ-compliant under any current product approval. The moment a homeowner pulls a permit, those windows legally must come out. That reality turns what starts as a small renovation into a full impact-window project more often than people expect.
Our Main Lighthouse Point Services
Most Lighthouse Point homeowners call us for one of two reasons: they’re tired of corroded frames and failed seals, or they’ve learned their current windows won’t pass a permit inspection. These three services cover both situations.
Window Replacement in Lighthouse Point
This is the job we do most in Lighthouse Point: removing aging aluminum or jalousie units and installing impact-rated replacements that meet the HVHZ standard. Salt air here is relentless, so we lean on corrosion-resistant frames and low-e insulated glass that holds up to humidity far better than the original 1960s and 1970s assemblies. Every replacement gets a written price before the first screw turns. Window Replacement in Lighthouse Point
Window Installation in Lighthouse Point
Window installation in Lighthouse Point often means new-construction or remodel work where the rough opening is being set for the first time. Because the whole city is in the HVHZ, the units going into those openings have to be approved from day one, and getting the rough opening set correctly for an impact-rated frame matters more here than in inland Florida. We install new windows to the same written-price, written-guarantee standard as our replacement work. Window Installation in Lighthouse Point
Door Installation in Lighthouse Point
Entry doors in Lighthouse Point take a beating from salt-humid air: hinges stiffen, thresholds corrode, and older hardware seizes. A door that looks fine from the street can be failing at the frame. We install impact-rated entry doors, including Therma-Tru, sized and sealed for HVHZ conditions, with hardware that handles the canal climate better than what the original builders put in.

Pricing for Window Company in Lighthouse Point, FL
| Service | Typical range in Lighthouse Point |
|---|---|
| Single impact window replacement | $1,100-$2,600 installed |
| Full-home impact window replacement (single-family) | $18,000-$52,000 |
| Impact sliding glass door | $4,800-$11,000 |
| Impact French door | $5,200-$12,500 |
| Entry door replacement (impact-rated) | $2,800-$7,800 |
| Jalousie-to-impact window conversion (per opening) | $1,400-$3,100 |
| Standard window installation (new construction, per opening) | $900-$2,200 |
| Corroded frame remediation with window replacement | adds $180-$520 per opening |
Two things push Lighthouse Point prices toward the upper end of those ranges. First, HVHZ compliance means impact-rated product, and impact-rated product costs more than standard glass. Second, homes with original jalousie windows usually need full-frame tear-outs rather than insert replacements, which adds labor and material. Whatever the number works out to, you’ll see it in writing before any work begins. We don’t revise quotes at the door.

- 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."
