AfterWindow Company in West Palm Beach, FL
West Palm Beach isn’t like working ten miles inland. The salt air off the Lake Worth Lagoon eats aluminum frames, the 1950s and 60s CBS ranch homes west of I-95 still carry original jalousie windows, and the insurance market here asks harder questions than almost anywhere in Florida. We’re Westlight Windows & Doors, an independently owned and operated Kingswell location, and we handle window replacement, window installation, and door installation across West Palm Beach with written pricing before any work starts. Call (903) 354-7134 and you’ll get a real person, not a phone tree.
Why West Palm Beach Homes Are Different
The housing stock tells the story. Drive through Northwood and the older east-side blocks and you’ll see block after block of concrete block homes from the Eisenhower and Kennedy years, many still running original jalousie louvered windows or single-pane aluminum frames. None of those meet current hurricane-impact standards, and with Palm Beach County insurers canceling policies or refusing to credit shutter-only mitigation, those old windows have become a real liability. Homeowners who spent thousands on roll-down shutters are now being told the shutters don’t count unless the glazing underneath is impact-rated too.
Then there’s the historic layer. El Cid and Flamingo Park are full of 1920s and 1930s Mediterranean Revival homes where any window change has to satisfy both Florida Building Code wind-load requirements and the City’s historic preservation design review. That dual approval doesn’t exist in the newer suburbs west of town, and it catches people off guard. Add the brackish salt-air corridor from the Lake Worth Lagoon – which accelerates galvanic corrosion on aluminum frames and breaks down sealants faster than inland markets – and you understand why product choice and installation quality matter more here than in a dry, still-air neighborhood like Acreage or Royal Palm Beach.
Our Main West Palm Beach Services
Most West Palm Beach homeowners call us for one of three things: pulling out failed or outdated windows and putting in impact-rated replacements, fitting new-construction windows during an addition or remodel, or replacing a front or patio door that’s warped, leaking, or no longer sealing. Each has its own dedicated West Palm Beach page with full pricing and details.
Window Replacement in West Palm Beach
Replacement work here almost always starts with an old jalousie or single-pane aluminum unit that’s fogged, corroded, or flagged by an insurance inspector. We pull the old frame, address any water damage in the opening, and set the new impact-rated unit with fresh flashing and sealant rated for salt-air exposure. Historic district homes in El Cid or Flamingo Park need design review before any visible change, and we walk you through that paperwork. For full pricing and what to expect, see Window Replacement in West Palm Beach.
Window Installation in West Palm Beach
Window installation here means new openings, additions, or remodels where the rough opening is being cut fresh. That changes the waterproofing detail, especially on lake-facing homes where the higher wind-exposure category pushes required impact ratings and design pressures up. We coordinate with your GC or handle the opening work ourselves, depending on the project. The install detail is different from a replacement – you’re not just swapping a unit, you’re creating the opening and making it watertight from the first day. See Window Installation in West Palm Beach for the full breakdown.
Door Installation in West Palm Beach
Entry doors and patio sliders in West Palm Beach take the brunt of the salt air and afternoon storm bands. A poorly flashed door leaks, a warped slab won’t seal, and an unrated door on a lake-facing home is a fast insurance problem. We install impact-rated entry doors and sliders, and we replace failing hardware and weatherstripping as part of a clean, square install. For pricing and the exact scope of door work we handle, visit Door Installation in West Palm Beach.

The two big price drivers in West Palm Beach are impact ratings and opening condition. A lake-facing home that needs higher design pressures will run toward the top of each range, and old jalousie openings almost always need framing repair once the louvered unit comes out. Every written price is fixed before work starts – no revised invoices at the door, no surprise change orders.

What West Palm Beach 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."
- Harold Bemis
