AfterWindow Company in Richmond Heights, FL
Westlight Windows & Doors is the window company Richmond Heights homeowners call when original jalousie windows and 1950s aluminum frames finally give out. Most homes here were built between the late 1940s and the 1960s, and the concrete block construction paired with Miami-Dade County’s High Velocity Hurricane Zone (HVHZ) code makes nearly every job a full compliance upgrade, not a simple swap. We quote a written price before any work starts and install only NOA-rated products that pass county inspection. Call (903) 354-7134 for a free estimate.
Why Richmond Heights Homes Are Different
Richmond Heights was developed in the late 1940s as one of Florida’s first planned communities for Black families, and the housing stock still reflects that era: concrete block (CBS) single-family homes on a tight street grid, with window openings sized for vintage aluminum or jalousie units that have been out of production for decades. Those jalousie crank windows, the default choice for 1950s South Florida ventilation, offer almost no wind resistance and violate current HVHZ code the moment a contractor pulls a permit.
Replacing one means full Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance (NOA) documentation, a county inspection, and anchoring into the original masonry rough opening, not a wood frame. That’s a different job than what you’d get 20 miles north in Broward, and it’s why we never give a ballpark figure over the phone for Richmond Heights work until we’ve measured the openings and confirmed what the existing structure will accept. The salt-laden wind off Biscayne Bay, roughly 4 to 5 miles east, also accelerates frame oxidation and seal failure on any non-impact glazing that has survived this long.
Our Main Richmond Heights Services
Most Richmond Heights homeowners reach out to us for one of two things: replacing original windows that have failed, or installing doors and windows in homes where the openings were never updated to meet current code. Each service has its own Richmond Heights page with detailed pricing and process.
Window Replacement in Richmond Heights
Window replacement in Richmond Heights usually means pulling out jalousie or single-pane aluminum units and setting NOA-rated impact windows into the original CBS rough openings. The masonry requires pressure-treated bucks and masonry anchors rather than simple wood-frame fastening, which adds labor and material cost but is the only way to pass a Miami-Dade inspection. We carry impact-rated lines from PGT and CGI among others, and we match the right product to your opening rather than forcing one brand on every job. See full pricing and process on our Window Replacement in Richmond Heights page.
Window Installation in Richmond Heights
New window installation in Richmond Heights often happens during additions, remodels, or when a homeowner finally closes in an old jalousie opening for good. The existing concrete block construction means every new rough opening needs to be cut, framed with pressure-treated lumber, and anchored to code before the window can be set. We handle the full scope, from the first measurement through the county inspection, and we write the price before the first cut is made. Learn more on our Window Installation in Richmond Heights page.
Door Installation in Richmond Heights
Door installation in Richmond Heights carries the same HVHZ burden as windows: every exterior door must be NOA-rated and anchored into the CBS wall, not simply screwed into a wood jamb. We install impact-rated entry doors from Therma-Tru and other manufacturers in our eight-line catalog, with the same written price and inspection-pass guarantee we put on window work. See what’s involved on our Door Installation in Richmond Heights page.

Yes. Richmond Heights falls entirely within Miami-Dade County’s HVHZ, so every replacement window and exterior door requires a permit, NOA-rated product documentation, and a county inspection. Westlight pulls the permits and stands behind the work until the inspection passes.
No. We write the full price before any work begins, including the masonry anchoring and pressure-treated bucks that Richmond Heights’ concrete block homes require. The Kingswell Guarantee puts that price in writing, and it does not change at the door. Call (903) 354-7134 for an exact quote.

What Richmond Heights 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."
