AfterWindow Company in Citrus Heights, CA
Window and door work in Citrus Heights follows a pattern you won’t find in newer Sacramento suburbs. Most homes here were built between 1960 and 1985, which means most windows and sliding glass doors are original aluminum units now 40 to 60 years old. Combine that age with summers that regularly pass 100°F and winter tule fog that soaks deteriorated caulk lines, and you get a city where window failure happens on a schedule, not randomly. We’re Westlight Windows & Doors, an independently owned and operated Kingswell location, and we work across Citrus Heights every week. Call (903) 354-7134 for a free estimate on any window or door project.
Why Citrus Heights Homes Are Different
Citrus Heights grew fast during the 1960s through the 1980s as one of Sacramento County’s fastest-developing unincorporated suburbs. That history left the city with dense blocks of same-era tract homes, mostly single-story ranches on slab foundations with stucco exteriors. The original windows in these homes were narrow-frame aluminum single-pane units, and they are all reaching the end of their service life at roughly the same time. A contractor working here sees entire streets where nearly every house needs the same replacement in the same cycle.
Climate accelerates the problem. The Sacramento Valley heat from June through September bakes west-facing glass and frames, which is why aluminum sliding doors along the Sunrise and Sylvan corridors so often bow and bind in their tracks. The aluminum expands, the track loosens, and the door starts sticking. Then winter tule fog brings weeks of low-level moisture that works its way into failing caulk joints and window seals. These homes fail in both seasons, which is why Citrus Heights keeps us busy year-round. We also know the permit reality here: any window or door replacement must meet California Title 24 energy code, which requires dual-pane low-e glazing even when you’re swapping out like for like. We handle that compliance on every job so you don’t have to chase paperwork.
Our Main Citrus Heights Services
Most Citrus Heights homeowners call us for one of three things: replacing failed windows, installing new windows in a remodel or addition, or replacing an entry or patio door. Each service has its own Citrus Heights page with pricing and specifics. Here’s where to start.
Window Replacement in Citrus Heights
Replacement here usually means pulling out 40-year-old aluminum frames and putting in modern dual-pane units sized for the original rough openings. Because Citrus Heights homes were built with narrow-frame aluminum in mind, retrofit windows often need custom sizing, shimming, or stucco patching to fit properly and pass California’s water-infiltration standards. We walk you through the full process, including the Title 24 requirements, before any work begins. Learn more on our Window Replacement in Citrus Heights page.
Window Installation in Citrus Heights
New window installation in Citrus Heights means working with rough openings in 1960s-to-1980s stucco walls, which are rarely square after 50 years of settling. Flashing, waterproofing, and insulation details matter more here than in newer construction because the original builders used less exacting standards. We install windows from multiple manufacturers so the product matches the opening and the home, not the other way around. See the Window Installation in Citrus Heights page for full details.
Door Installation in Citrus Heights
Entry doors and sliding patio doors in Citrus Heights take a beating from direct afternoon sun, especially on west-facing elevations. Original 1970s sliding glass doors routinely warp and stick, and many homeowners replace them with modern units that seal tighter and operate smoothly. We also install entry doors built to handle Sacramento Valley temperature swings without binding. Read the Door Installation in Citrus Heights page for pricing and product options.

What Citrus Heights Customers Say
"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."
- 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."
