AfterWindow Company in Greenacres, FL
Window and door work in Greenacres has one big thing in common: the homes are mostly 1970s and 1980s concrete block, and the original windows are almost always single-pane aluminum or jalousie. Those units were never built for Palm Beach County’s 140-170 mph wind envelope, and they fail faster in our humidity than any northern product rating predicts. We’re Westlight Windows & Doors, an independently owned and operated Kingswell location, and we match each Greenacres opening to the right impact-rated product rather than forcing one brand onto every job. Call us at (903) 354-7134 for a written price before any work starts.
Why Greenacres Homes Are Different
Greenacres sits inside Palm Beach County’s mandatory wind-borne debris region but outside the High-Velocity Hurricane Zone (HVHZ) that governs Miami-Dade and Broward counties to the south. That distinction catches a lot of homeowners and out-of-area contractors off guard. Every permitted window or door replacement here must meet Florida Product Approval at the correct calculated Design Pressure rating for each individual opening, not the blanket Miami-Dade NOA spec that people assume applies everywhere in South Florida. Pull a permit for one window in Greenacres and like-for-like replacement is off the table: you’re upgrading to impact-rated, full stop.
The housing stock makes this more involved than a simple swap. Most Greenacres homes are single-story CBS (concrete block structure), with windows set directly into masonry or poured-concrete rough openings. Retrofitting a modern impact-rated unit into those openings takes careful buck framing or direct-anchor installation into block, not the wood-frame rough opening you’d find in older northern construction. The original jalousie windows still present in many of these homes are entirely non-compliant with current wind codes. A secondary stock of older manufactured and site-built affordable housing in the western sections of the city needs product lines specifically rated for that construction type, which is part of why we carry eight manufacturer lines instead of one or two.
We also see the same pattern repeat across Greenacres: a homeowner swaps one or two windows without a permit to avoid triggering the mandatory impact-rated upgrade. Palm Beach County building officials have actively targeted this in enforcement sweeps, and unpermitted non-impact windows void the homeowner’s insurance wind-mitigation discount. That’s a financial hit that lands hard for this city’s middle-income ownership base, and it’s a conversation we have with customers at the estimate stage because it changes the math on the whole project.
Our Main Greenacres Services
Most Greenacres homeowners call us about two things: replacing windows that have finally given out, or installing new windows and doors during a remodel or addition. Each service has its own Greenacres page below with full pricing and local detail.
Window Replacement in Greenacres
Replacing windows in Greenacres almost always means pulling out original single-pane aluminum or jalousie units from a 1970s or 1980s CBS home. The old frames are often corroded, the seals are shot, and the rough openings were never sized for modern impact-rated products. We handle the full tear-out, prepare the masonry opening, install the new impact-rated unit to Florida Product Approval spec, and finish the interior and exterior trim. The permit triggers the impact-rated requirement, so we price that in from the first conversation, not as a surprise change order. Window Replacement in Greenacres
Window Installation in Greenacres
New window installation in Greenacres covers projects where the opening is new or being enlarged: additions, garage conversions, or replacing a jalousie bay with a fixed picture window. On CBS homes, this means cutting or modifying a concrete block opening, which requires a structural plan, a permit, and an installation method rated for masonry anchoring. We match the right product to the opening, whether that’s a PGT impact unit for a west-facing wall that takes afternoon sun or an ECO Window Systems low-e unit where heat gain is the bigger concern.

Door Installation in Greenacres
Doors in Greenacres face the same wind-code reality as windows: any permitted replacement must meet Florida Product Approval for the door’s specific Design Pressure rating. We install entry doors, patio sliders, and French doors in CBS openings, which means anchoring directly into block or using buck framing where the rough opening needs adjustment. Therma-Tru is the entry-door line we stock most often for Greenacres homes, with impact-rated options for openings that face the street or the prevailing storm path. Door Installation in Greenacres

Brands We Service in Greenacres
We carry impact-rated lines from PGT, CGI, CWS, and ES Windows, with parts stocked locally so Greenacres jobs don’t wait on a distributor in another county. The right product for a 1970s CBS home is different from the right product for a western Greenacres manufactured home, and carrying eight manufacturer lines means we match the window to the opening instead of forcing the opening to fit the window. See our brands for the full lineup.

The two things that push a Greenacres quote higher are jalousie demolition, which leaves an irregular opening that needs reframing, and direct-anchor installation into block when the masonry is in rough shape. Either way, you get a written price before any work starts, and we don’t revise it at the door.

What Greenacres 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."
