AfterWindow Company in Citrus, CA
Citrus sits in an unusual spot for homeowners: an unincorporated pocket of Sacramento County right next to Citrus Heights, built mostly between the 1960s and 1980s. That means original aluminum-frame, single-pane windows are everywhere, and Sacramento Valley summers above 105°F punish them daily. We’re Westlight Windows & Doors, an independently owned and operated Kingswell location, and we help Citrus homeowners replace, install, and upgrade windows and doors with written pricing before any work begins. Call (903) 354-7134 for a free estimate.
Why Citrus Homes Are Different
Citrus wasn’t built like the newer subdivisions east of Sacramento. The housing stock here is post-WWII through 1980s ranch and split-level tract homes, almost all stucco-over-wood-frame. That construction style means window rough openings are rarely square and rarely standard, so every replacement needs custom flashing and wrap details at the stucco interface. Installers who don’t know Sacramento’s valley climate tend to underestimate that seam, and five years later the homeowner finds rot behind the trim.
The climate is the second thing. Citrus gets the full Sacramento Valley thermal cycle: summer heat that regularly breaks 105°F with intense UV off flat, open lots, then winter tule fog that holds near-freezing damp air against window frames for days. That swing cracks glazing seals and warps aluminum tracks faster than in Folsom or coastal cities 30 miles away. Homeowners here are also facing California’s Title 24 energy requirements more directly than neighbors in newer Elk Grove or Folsom tracts, because Citrus homes were built before those standards existed. A window replacement in Citrus is often a comfort fix, a code-compliance fix, and a SMUD rebate opportunity all in one job.
Our Main Citrus Services
Window and door work in Citrus usually starts with one of these three jobs. Each has its own dedicated Citrus page with specific pricing and process details.
Window Replacement in Citrus
Most Citrus homes still have their original aluminum frames, and once the glazing seal fails or the frame warps from valley heat, replacement beats repair. We match the right product to the opening: impact-rated lines like PGT or CGI where homeowners want storm protection, or energy-efficient ECO Window Systems when the goal is cutting cooling costs through a Sacramento summer. The stucco interface is the part we spend the most time on, because that’s where Citrus installs fail when rushed. Window Replacement in Citrus covers full pricing and what to expect during the job.
Window Installation in Citrus
New construction and addition work in Citrus typically means non-standard rough openings in stucco walls, which is where custom flashing and wrap details matter. We install across eight manufacturer lines including PGT, CGI, and ViewLux, so the window fits the opening instead of forcing the opening to fit whatever’s on the truck. Every installation starts with a written price and a committed arrival window, and ends with a written guarantee on the completed work. Window Installation in Citrus has the full breakdown by window type and opening size.
Door Installation in Citrus
Entry doors, patio sliders, and interior doors all age differently in the Citrus climate. The 1970s tract builds here are notorious for sliding glass patio doors with failed rollers and warped aluminum tracks that no longer meet California’s current egress-width requirements. Homeowners sometimes call us for a simple re-screen and find they need a full permitted replacement to sell or remodel. We carry Therma-Tru entry doors and handle the code paperwork on every permitted door job. Door Installation in Citrus explains the egress issue in plain terms and lists typical door pricing.

Brands We Service in Citrus
We stock and install across eight manufacturer lines, including ViewLux, PGT, CGI, and CWS.

What pushes pricing up in Citrus is the stucco work. Non-standard rough openings plus custom flashing at the stucco interface add labor that a cookie-cutter contractor might skip and then bill you for later. Our approach is the opposite: the written price you get before work starts is the price you pay, no revised invoices at the door.

FAQs About Window Company in Citrus
For direct replacement of windows in the same opening, Citrus and Sacramento County typically do not require a permit. New construction or enlarging an opening does require one, and door replacements that change egress width are the most common trigger. We pull permits and handle inspections on every job that needs them.
We schedule estimates across Citrus within a few business days, and we give a committed arrival window rather than a vague “sometime between 8 and 5.” Dispatch and scheduling are coordinated from our Los Angeles office, but the crews that serve Citrus are local and know the housing stock. Call (903) 354-7134 to set a time.
Some Citrus subdivisions have HOA architectural guidelines that restrict frame color or window style visible from the street. We check for any recorded covenants before quoting, and if an HOA approval is needed, our written pricing accounts for the review time. Nobody should find out about an HOA restriction after the windows arrive.

What Citrus Customers Say
"Two bedroom windows that never opened and one that wouldn't stay up. All replaced in an afternoon. The crew was clean, hauled off the old frames, and the quote held."
- Colette Rhee"Got quotes from three companies. Westlight wasn't the cheapest but they were the only one who measured everything carefully and put it all in writing. Worth it. No surprises on install day."
- 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."
