AfterWindow Company in Coral Gables, FL
Window and door work in Coral Gables is not like the rest of Miami-Dade. The homes are older, the openings are arched, and the Board of Architects has final say over what goes into the wall. We’re Westlight Windows & Doors, an independently owned and operated Kingswell location, and we install impact-rated windows and doors that pass both the county’s NOA standard and Coral Gables’s design review. Call (903) 354-7134 for a written price before any work starts.
Why Coral Gables Homes Are Different
Most of Coral Gables was built between the 1920s and 1950s as concrete block and stucco Mediterranean Revival homes under George Merrick’s original plan. Those thick masonry walls have deep-set window bucks, and a lot of the original single-pane wood or steel casement windows have corroded or warped after decades of South Florida humidity. Standard window replacements rarely drop into these openings without custom subsill work and buck repairs first.
Then there’s the dual-compliance reality. Every replacement window and door in Coral Gables must meet Miami-Dade County’s NOA impact-resistance standard, the strictest in the nation, and also pass review by the Coral Gables Board of Architects. That board enforces the original Mediterranean Revival design code, which means arched profiles, period-appropriate muntin patterns, and approved finishes are not optional flourishes. They are requirements. Contractors who skip the COA approval before ordering materials can eat the cost of a fully code-compliant window that the board rejects on design grounds. We pull the COA first, every time.
Salt air from Biscayne Bay adds another layer. Standard aluminum extrusions and hardware corrode fast here, so marine-grade or anodized components are the practical baseline, not an upgrade. Homeowners in neighborhoods like the Biltmore area and the Granada golf section deal with this every time a window fails.
Our Main Coral Gables Services
These are the two jobs Coral Gables homeowners call us about most, each with its own detailed Coral Gables page.
Window Replacement in Coral Gables
Replacing windows here means working around arched openings, deep masonry bucks, and the Board of Architects review. We typically source impact-rated units from manufacturers like PGT and CGI and match grille patterns to the home’s original Mediterranean Revival character. The salt air means we recommend marine-grade hardware as standard. For a full walkthrough of the replacement process, pricing, and what the COA process looks like, see our Window Replacement in Coral Gables page.
Window Installation in Coral Gables
New construction, additions, and full tear-outs in Coral Gables come with the same NOA and board review requirements, but the openings are fresh and the tolerances are tighter. We install products from CWS and ES Windows when the job calls for a specific architectural profile or finish. Every installation gets a written price before work begins. Details on lead times, product selection, and installation specifics are on our Window Installation in Coral Gables page.
Door Installation in Coral Gables
Entry doors in Coral Gables face the same board review as windows, and the arched front entries common on Merrick-era homes make off-the-shelf doors a poor fit. We install impact-rated doors from Therma-Tru and CGI, matched to the opening and the home’s approved design character. Hardware in salt-air exposure needs marine-grade treatment. For full pricing and the door-specific COA process, visit our Door Installation in Coral Gables page.

FAQs About Window Company in Coral Gables
Yes, nearly every exterior window and door replacement in Coral Gables requires COA approval from the Board of Architects before installation. We handle the COA filing as part of the job. A code-compliant window can still be rejected on design grounds, so we never order materials before the approval comes back. Call (903) 354-7134 and we’ll explain the exact process for your home.
Most Coral Gables window and door jobs take between four and ten weeks from signed estimate to completed installation. The COA review typically accounts for two to four weeks of that, and custom arched or special-profile units from CWS or ES Windows add fabrication time. We give you a committed arrival window at the start. Call (903) 354-7134 for a free estimate and an honest timeline.

What Coral Gables 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."
- Bethany Oh
