AfterWindow Company in Malibu, CA
Westlight Windows & Doors handles window replacement, window installation, and door installation across Malibu, CA, from the beachfront estates along Carbon Beach to the post-Woolsey rebuilds in the canyons. This is one of the only places in the country where every window and door has to fight two enemies at once: salt corrosion off the Pacific and fire conditions that demand Chapter 7A-compliant fire-rated glazing. Most Malibu window replacements run $1,400-$4,500 per opening installed, depending on size, frame material, and whether the opening must meet WUI fire-rating code. Call (903) 354-7134 for a written line-item price before any work starts.
Why Malibu Homes Are Different
Malibu’s housing stock splits into two very different jobs. On the ocean side, you have Malibu Colony, Malibu Road, and the PCH frontage properties with expansive glass walls, oversized fixed panels, and multi-panel sliding systems that need marine-grade frames and hardware. Standard aluminum frames corrode within a few seasons of direct salt spray, so anodized aluminum, marine-grade clad-wood, or fiberglass is a practical necessity, not an upgrade.
Then there are the canyon and hillside homes along Las Virgenes, Malibu Canyon, and Kanan Dume. Most of these are post-Woolsey rebuilds constructed entirely to current WUI codes. Chapter 7A requires tempered or fire-rated glazing and ignition-resistant frames on every exterior opening, including skylights. We regularly see projects where a contractor sourced coastal-grade clad windows without checking the fire-rating certification and failed inspection. In Malibu, the material spec has to satisfy both requirements at once: corrosion resistance for the marine air, fire rating for the Santa Ana season. Get it wrong on either side and the inspector catches it.
Our Main Malibu Services
These are the three services Malibu homeowners call us about most. Each has its own detailed page with local pricing, timelines, and what to expect.
Window Replacement in Malibu
Replacing windows in Malibu usually means pulling out corroded aluminum frames on a beachfront home or swapping non-compliant glazing on a canyon rebuild. The job starts with measuring precisely, because so many Malibu openings are custom sizes, not stock dimensions. Then we order the right product: impact-rated for ocean-facing elevations, Chapter 7A fire-rated for hillside homes, or both where required. We install to the exact manufacturer spec and handle disposal of the old units. Learn more about Window Replacement in Malibu.
Window Installation in Malibu
New window installation in Malibu covers everything from a single bedroom window in a Point Dume home to a full wall of glass on a new build in Malibu Park. The key local wrinkle is that the framing and glazing spec changes depending on how close you are to the ocean and whether the property sits inside the Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zone. We coordinate with your GC or handle the opening directly from framing to finish trim. See Window Installation in Malibu for full details.
Door Installation in Malibu
Entry doors in Malibu face the same salt-and-fire code reality as windows. A front door on PCH needs marine-grade hardware and a frame that won’t swell in the coastal fog. A door on a canyon rebuild needs fire-rated glazing if it has glass panels. We install hinged entry doors, sliding patio doors, and multi-panel systems from brands like Therma-Tru, with the same written-price commitment on every job. Details are on the Door Installation in Malibu page.

Brands We Service in Malibu
We install products from eight manufacturer lines, and we stock the Malibu-relevant ones more heavily: PGT and CGI for impact-rated coastal work, ECO Window Systems for energy efficiency, and Therma-Tru for entry doors. That means shorter lead times on replacements and less waiting on custom orders for rebuilds. See our brands for the full lineup.

What Malibu 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
