Most Artesia homeowners are dealing with original 1950s and 1960s single-pane aluminum sliders that have been in the wall since the home was built. Our crews work throughout Artesia every week, and we schedule in a real arrival window, not a four-hour guess. Call (903) 354-7134 and a live person answers, day or night.

Why Westlight Windows & Doors Is Artesia’s Preferred Window Replacement Company
Owen Satterfield built Westlight Windows & Doors in 2009 around a simple idea: write the price down before the work starts, and come back if the work fails. That’s the Kingswell Guarantee, and it’s why Artesia homeowners keep our number. When we replace windows on a 1960s tract home off Pioneer Boulevard or a 1950s stucco house near the 91, we know what that wall looks like inside. We’ve pulled enough original aluminum sliders in Artesia to expect undersized rough openings, rotted bottom plates, and tar-paper that crumbles when you touch it. That’s not a surprise to us. It’s a line item in the allowance we write into your contract before we order glass.
Every technician who pulls up to an Artesia home is background-checked and in uniform. Every quote is a written line-item price, not a range. And every job ends with the 365-Day Done Right Promise in your hand. If it’s not right inside the guarantee period, we come back and fix it at no charge. No negotiating, no revisiting the invoice. That’s the Kingswell Way.
Window Repair in Artesia
Window repair in Artesia is often a different job than window replacement, and it’s worth knowing which one you actually need. If a sash won’t slide on a 1960s aluminum slider, or a crank operator is stripped on a casement window, we can often replace the hardware and get the window working again for $150 to $400. But if the frame is rotted, the glass is fogged between panes, or the channel is bent, repair becomes a bad investment. We’ll tell you straight which one applies, and we’ll put the number in writing before we do either. Here’s what repair typically covers in Artesia.
Hardware, Balances, and Track Repair
Older aluminum sliders in Artesia fail in predictable ways. The spring balances fatigue, the nylon wheels flatten, and the track bends from years of a door being forced. We replace springs, balances, rollers, and lock sets, and we stock common Artesia sizes on the truck. Most hardware repairs run $150 to $350 per window and take under an hour.
Glass Seal Repair and Fogged Units
When a dual-pane window fogs between the glass, the seal has failed. On newer vinyl frames we can sometimes replace just the insulated glass unit, which in Artesia runs $250 to $500 per sash depending on size and low-e coating. But on original 1960s aluminum frames, the metal channel is usually too corroded to accept a new IGU cleanly, and replacement becomes the honest recommendation. We’ll show you the frame before we quote either route.
Window Replacement Company in Artesia
Window Replacement Company work in Artesia means full frame replacement on the original 1950s and 1960s stucco tract homes that fill the city. We pull the entire old aluminum or steel-framed window out to the rough opening, inspect the framing and waterproofing, fix what’s rotted or undersized, install new flashing, and set a modern replacement window into a clean, square opening. On Artesia’s post-WWII housing stock, this is the job that stops the wall from failing, not just the window. Full frame replacement typically runs $900 to $2,100 per opening in Artesia, with the spread depending on what we find in the wall and what glass package you choose.
Insert Replacement on 1950s Vinyl Original Aluminum Frames
Artesia homes that already had a vinyl retrofit in the 1990s or 2000s can sometimes accept an insert replacement: a new window set inside the existing frame and trim. That’s the faster, cleaner option and runs $650 to $1,200 per window in Artesia. We only recommend it when the existing frame is square, dry, and anchored properly. If we find rotted wood or a racked frame, we’ll say so and show you why full replacement is the right call.
Full Frame Replacement and Reframing
This is the job we do most often in Artesia. We pull the old window, strip the wall down to rough opening, and replace any framing that’s undersized, rotted, or split. Then we flash and waterproof the opening properly, set the new window, and trim it out. On the stucco tract homes around Artesia’s 90710 zip, this is where we find the problems no one priced and the reason our contracts carry written allowances for exactly that. You’ll know the number before we start, and you’ll approve any surprise in writing before we close the wall.

Trusted Brands We Service in Artesia
We stock and install across eight manufacturer lines so the right product matches the job, not the other way around. For Artesia specifically, that usually means PGT or CGI vinyl and aluminum frames for durability against stucco heat gain, ES Windows for wide sliders on mid-century floor plans, and CWS for homes near the 91 where traffic noise is the main reason people upgrade glazing. Because we carry these lines directly, we can order exact glass packages and lead times for Artesia jobs without a middleman. When a unit comes in for a house off Pioneer Boulevard or near Artesia Park, we schedule it on our calendar, not a subcontractor’s.
Common Window Replacement Problems We See in Artesia Homes
- Original single-pane aluminum sliders still in the wall. Most Artesia homes built between 1950 and 1968 have never had their windows replaced. The aluminum conducts heat, the single pane does nothing for the 91 freeway hum, and the frame has usually sagged or frozen in its track.
- Failed tar-paper waterproofing behind the stucco. When we pull a 60-year-old window on an Artesia stucco home, the tar-paper behind the stucco is often dry, cracked, or already letting water through. If it isn’t addressed during the replacement, water finds the new jamb and rots it out within a couple of rainy seasons.
- Undersized or rotted rough openings. The original 1950s construction standards left many window rough openings in Artesia cut an inch too small for modern frames. We find split studs, rotted bottom plates, and framing that has shifted. We price the reframing before we cut, always in writing.
- Two-wire and knob-and-tube wiring in the wall. On Artesia homes that still have original electrical, opening a window can expose old wiring that is no longer code-compliant. A permit inspection after the window is open can trigger a required wiring upgrade. We flag this before we start so you aren’t surprised with the wall open.

FAQs About Window Replacement in Artesia
Expect to see what’s actually behind it, because we’ll show you before we touch the wall. On a typical 1950s or 1960s Artesia stucco tract home, that means a rough opening that was often framed an inch undersized, a bottom plate that may be rotted from decades of condensation, and tar-paper waterproofing that’s cracked or crumbling. We’ll write the reframing, flashing, and waterproofing into a line-item allowance before we order your glass, and we’ll price anything else we find on-site and get your approval in writing before we close the wall. That’s the only honest way to replace a window on these homes. Call (903) 354-7134 if your windows are still original and you want a real number.
Yes, a full window replacement on an Artesia home generally requires a permit, and yes, the inspection can surface code issues you didn’t know about. The most common on these older Artesia homes is electrical: opening a wall can expose two-wire or knob-and-tube wiring that is no longer compliant, and the inspector may require it to be brought up to code before the wall is closed. We handle the permit for you, we flag likely wiring issues before we start, and if an upgrade is required, you’ll see it priced in writing before it gets done. You approve the change in writing first. Call (903) 354-7134 to talk through your specific home.
Because Artesia sits squarely between the 91 and 605 freeways, and traffic noise is the thing homeowners notice every single night, not the electric bill. Dual-pane glazing, especially with laminated glass, cuts freeway hum dramatically even when the energy savings are modest. Many Artesia homeowners choose our laminated glass packages for bedrooms facing the 91 corridor or the downtown Pioneer Boulevard commercial stretch, where exhaust and street noise carry into the house.
Yes, though in Artesia’s Mediterranean climate the cooling savings are smaller than the comfort difference. Single-pane aluminum transfers heat directly into the house on summer afternoons. Low-e glass (a thin metallic coating that reflects heat back outside) on a dual-pane frame cuts solar heat gain enough that you’ll feel the difference in rooms facing west. A twelve-window Artesia home typically sees a modest but real drop in summer cooling use, and the reduction in drafts and freeway noise is usually the more noticeable benefit. Call (903) 354-7134 for an exact price on your specific windows, free.
No, impact-rated glazing is not required for most window replacement in Artesia. Artesia is not in a hurricane zone, and impact glazing like PGT’s WinGuard or CGI’s Sentinel line is engineered for wind-borne debris, not the seismic shaking we get here. What your Artesia home may benefit from is laminated or tempered safety glass for larger window openings near doors, which building codes already require in certain locations. We’ll match the right glass to your openings and tell you when code requires tempered glass. Call (903) 354-7134 with questions, and we’ll answer honestly.
