AfterWindow Company in North Miami, FL
Westlight Windows & Doors is the window company North Miami homeowners call when their 1950s jalousie windows or corroded aluminum sliders need replacing with code-compliant impact units. Most window and door work here in North Miami runs between $800 and $4,800 per opening, depending on whether you’re replacing one window or an entire CBS home’s glazing. Call (903) 354-7134 and you’ll get a live person, a straight price range, and a written quote before any work starts.
Why North Miami Homes Are Different
North Miami sits inside Miami-Dade County’s High Velocity Hurricane Zone, the toughest impact-glazing jurisdiction in the country. Every replacement window and door here must carry a Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance, a product approval standard that disqualifies many units sold just up the road in Palm Beach County. That single fact reshapes every estimate we write in North Miami.
The housing stock compounds it. North Miami’s residential streets are lined with single-story CBS ranch homes and two-story garden apartments from the 1950s and 1960s. A large share still have their original jalousie windows, the louvered glass units that predate modern hurricane codes entirely. You cannot retrofit those. Once a home in Keystone Point or along NE 135th Street still has jalousies or hollow-metal single-pane sliders, the answer is nearly always full-frame replacement, which means pulling the old buck, modifying the rough opening in the concrete block, and setting a properly anchored impact unit.
Salt air makes it worse. North Miami’s canal network, particularly around Keystone Point and Keystone Islands, pushes brackish, salt-laden air deep into residential neighborhoods year-round. Aluminum frames pit, sill tracks corrode, weep holes clog with white crust, and door hardware seizes. Marine-grade frame coatings and stainless fasteners are not an upsell here. They are the difference between a window that lasts 15 years and one that starts failing in five.
Insurance pressure is the final piece. Florida carriers writing policies in North Miami routinely require wind mitigation inspections proving your windows and doors carry an approved impact rating. Older homes fail those inspections regularly, and the carrier then sets a deadline. That is why so many North Miami homeowners call us with a letter from their insurer in hand, needing documentation of the product approval number and the installation date. We make sure that paperwork is right the first time.
Our Main North Miami Services
Window replacement and door installation are the two calls we get most from North Miami homeowners. Here is what each one actually involves here.
Window Replacement in North Miami
Replacing windows in North Miami almost always means full-frame work, not pocket inserts. The original openings in these postwar CBS homes were built for jalousies and single-pane sliders, and the rough openings rarely match modern impact unit dimensions. We remove the old frame and buck, correct the concrete opening, flash it properly, and set a Miami-Dade approved unit. Impact-rated options from PGT and CGI, plus energy-efficient ECO Window Systems, give you real product choice rather than whatever one brand happens to be on the truck. Window Replacement in North Miami covers pricing, permit timelines, and what full-frame replacement involves step by step.
Window Installation in North Miami
Window installation for new construction or additions in North Miami follows a different path than replacement. The openings are framed to spec, which means less demolition but the same strict HVHZ product approval requirement applies to every unit. We install windows from eight manufacturer lines, including ES Windows and CWS, and we coordinate with your builder or GC on rough-opening dimensions before the concrete is poured, so you never end up paying for a custom-sized unit because the framing was off by an inch. Window Installation in North Miami walks through the new-construction process in North Miami.
Door Installation in North Miami
Door installation in North Miami means replacing hollow-metal sliders and slab doors that have been exposed to canal air for decades. Entry doors from Therma-Tru, along with impact-rated options from CGI and PGT, are installed with stainless hardware and marine-grade thresholds that hold up to the salt. We handle the full swap: removal, frame correction, installation, hardware, and weather sealing. Sliding glass doors facing Biscayne Bay or the canals need the most attention, and we document every product approval for your insurer. Door Installation in North Miami details door pricing and what a typical North Miami door replacement entails.

Most North Miami homeowners get an estimate visit within two to four business days of calling. We commit to a written arrival window and we keep it. Call (903) 354-7134 and a live person will set the appointment, not a recording.
Yes. North Miami sits in the HVHZ, and every replacement window and exterior door requires a permit and a product with a Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance. We handle the permit paperwork and product documentation, and we make sure your wind mitigation form is filled out correctly after the job.
In our experience, yes, when the product carries the right Miami-Dade approval and the installation is documented correctly. We provide the NOA number, the installation date, and the permit record your insurer needs for a wind mitigation credit. If something is missing, we fix the paperwork at no charge.

What North Miami Customers Say
"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"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."
