Lightwell Windows & Doors is a window company in West Palm Beach, FL that plans every job around one fact: this city’s buildings face hurricane-force wind, salt air, and high humidity that inland Florida never sees. Most homes here need impacts-rated glass, corrosion-resistant frames, and sealed installations that hold against wind-driven rain. We carry PGT, CGI, and six other manufacturer lines so the product matches the house, not our inventory. If you’re pricing replacement windows or doors in West Palm Beach, call (728) 203-1160 for a written estimate.
Why West Palm Beach Homes Are Different
West Palm Beach’s oceanfront high-rises and 1920s Spanish Revival homes demand impact-rated windows and doors that meet Miami-Dade County hurricane codes. That single requirement defines nearly every installation here and separates this market from interior Florida, where a standard window is often acceptable.
The housing stock spans three eras. El Cid and Old Northwood hold Mediterranean Revival and Art Deco homes from the 1920s, many still carrying single-pane wood or aluminum windows that need retrofit work to pass current wind-load standards. Mid-century concrete block ranch houses sit further west, while modern high-rise condos line the waterfront. Each type of building has different flashing details, mounting surfaces, and frame materials that actually work. In older masonry walls, for example, an installer has to match the opening depth precisely or the new unit will not seal correctly against moisture.
Salt air accelerates corrosion on aluminum frames and hardware, so we lean toward marine-grade materials and stainless fasteners. Humidity means the sealant selection matters more than in dry climates. And in the historic districts, crews regularly retrofit original wood windows with hidden impact glazing, preserving the architectural character while meeting the county’s strict large-missile impact tests. These are not generic installs. They are West Palm Beach installs, and they have to be detailed differently.
Styles & brands we work with
Our Main West Palm Beach Services
Window replacement and door installation are the two jobs West Palm Beach homeowners ask about most, and each one has its own page where we lay out the process step by step.
Window Replacement in West Palm Beach
Most replacement work in West Palm Beach involves pulling single-pane aluminum or wood sashes out of concrete block or wood-frame openings and setting impact-rated units in their place. Coastal exposure and Miami-Dade wind-load maps determine whether a home needs large-missile-rated glass or a lighter option, and that decision changes the product list and the price per opening. We quote each window based on the opening’s actual condition, because an old wood buck that has rotted behind the stucco adds labor no one can see from the street. Read the full breakdown on the Window Replacement in West Palm Beach page.
Window Installation in West Palm Beach
New-construction and addition work in West Palm Beach has different requirements than replacement. Rough openings are fresh, so the crew centers the frame, levels the sill, and flashes the perimeter before the trim goes on. In this climate, the sequencing of the flashing and the sealant matters more than the aesthetic finish, because wind-driven rain finds any gap within the first season. We also handle retrofits in existing block walls where the opening was cut decades ago and no longer matches today’s standard sizes. See the step-by-step on the Window Installation in West Palm Beach page.
Door Installation in West Palm Beach
Front and side doors in West Palm Beach work hard. They take direct afternoon sun on west-facing stucco walls, salt-laden air near the Intracoastal, and the same code-driven wind pressure as the windows beside them. We install impact-rated entry doors, hinged patio doors, and the occasional custom swing door in older homes where the opening is no longer square. Threshold sealing and bottom sweeps get extra attention here, because a quarter-inch gap under a door is an invitation for humidity and summer storms. Details are on the Door Installation in West Palm Beach page.

In West Palm Beach, the two biggest price drivers are impact classification and the condition of the rough opening. A rotted wood buck hidden inside a 1920s stucco wall adds real labor, and large-missile-rated glass costs more than standard impact products. Our written pricing promise stays the same either way.

FAQs About Window Company in West Palm Beach
Yes, when the job requires one, we handle the permit application and schedule the inspections. In West Palm Beach, impact-rated window and door replacements typically need a building permit because the installation must pass Miami-Dade County wind-load standards. We pull the permit, meet the inspector, and close it out. Call (728) 203-1160 for specifics on your address.
Most single-story West Palm Beach homes take two to four working days once materials arrive. Impact-rated glass often has a longer lead time from the manufacturer than standard windows, so we order as soon as the contract is signed. We’ll give you a written schedule before work begins, not a vague window.
Yes. El Cid, Old Northwood, and several other West Palm Beach historic neighborhoods have design review boards that must approve any visible change to a home’s exterior.

Call (728) 203-1160 to get the process started on your street.
