AfterWindow Company in The Acreage, FL
Westlight Windows & Doors is the window company The Acreage homeowners call when they’re tired of fighting fogged glass, sticking sliders, and doors that rattle with every afternoon thunderstorm. Most homes here were built in the 1980s and early 1990s with original single-pane aluminum frames, and they’re hitting the wall all at once: failed seals, warped tracks, and no impact protection. We carry eight manufacturer lines and price every job upfront in writing, so you know the full cost before a screw turns. Call (903) 354-7134 for a free estimate.
Why The Acreage Homes Are Different
The Acreage doesn’t look like Wellington or Royal Palm Beach, and the window work doesn’t either. The lots run large (usually 1.25 acres), and homes sit far apart with almost no windbreak between them. When a summer storm rolls through western Palm Beach County, there’s nothing to slow the wind down before it hits your window walls.
Most of the housing stock went up from the mid-1980s through the mid-2000s, but the pre-1995 builds are the ones we see most. Those homes have single-pane aluminum windows, jalousie glass, and sliding doors that never had to meet any impact standard. Now they leak conditioned air into Palm Beach County humidity, and Citizens Insurance inspectors are flagging them on wind-mitigation reports. The flat terrain and storm exposure also accelerate frame racking, so older aluminum units develop seal failures faster here than in denser, shadier communities.
Because The Acreage is unincorporated, there’s no city building department. Every replacement permit goes through Palm Beach County’s Building Division using Florida Product Approval standards, not the Miami-Dade NOA required on the coastal HVHZ strip. That’s a meaningful distinction: it means the right products for The Acreage are the mid-market, Florida Product Approved impact windows and doors, not the heavier coastal-rated units you’d need in Fort Lauderdale.
Our Main The Acreage Services
The Acreage homeowners call us most about two things: replacing failed windows and swapping out old sliders and entry doors for impact-rated units that hold up to the county’s wind-borne debris requirements.
Window Replacement in The Acreage
Window replacement here usually means pulling out original aluminum frames and putting in energy-efficient impact units that can handle the wind-borne debris region designation Palm Beach County applies to The Acreage. A full-house swap on a large-lot 80s build involves more glass than the average suburban home because of those big screen-enclosure patio walls. We walk each job through the county permitting process, since there’s no local building department to route through. Get the full picture on our Window Replacement in The Acreage page.
Window Installation in The Acreage
Window installation in The Acreage covers new-construction openings in custom builds and additions, as well as fitting new frames into existing rough openings during remodels. Many homes here have expansive glass facing west, which means the late-afternoon sun (the west light our name comes from) pours in and tests any glass’s thermal performance. We verify design-pressure ratings against the Florida Building Code before we order, because the county inspector will ask for the paperwork. Details are on our Window Installation in The Acreage page.
Door Installation in The Acreage
Door installation in The Acreage often means replacing sliding-glass door walls and single entry doors that were installed before impact standards existed. Those older units rack under sustained wind load and can’t earn wind-mitigation credits with the county. We install impact-rated sliders and entry doors, handle the county Notice of Commencement recording, and make sure the work passes Palm Beach County inspection the first time. Read more on our Door Installation in The Acreage page.

Yes. Because The Acreage is unincorporated, Palm Beach County handles all permitting through its Building Division, and a Notice of Commencement must be recorded with the County Clerk before work starts. We handle that paperwork on every job.

What The Acreage 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
