Lightwell is the independently operated Cedarwell windows-and-doors company serving Highland from our Inland Empire office. We handle the full range of window replacement, new window installation, and door installation for the ranch-style and tract homes that dominate this city’s core, plus the semi-custom foothill properties with non-standard rough openings. Every job carries our 365-Day Done Right Promise and the Cedarwell Care Promise: shoe covers and drop cloths on every visit, a photo of the clean-up before we leave, and a written price locked in before we touch a single tool.
Why Highland Homes Are Different
Highland’s northern neighborhoods climb toward the San Bernardino Mountains and fall within California’s designated High Fire Hazard Severity Zones, where window and door replacements must meet WUI fire-rating requirements under CBC Chapter 7A. This is a compliance layer that flat Inland Empire cities like Colton or Fontana largely do not face, and it changes both product selection and permit scope.
The housing stock tells its own story. Core Highland is dominated by ranch-style and tract homes built from the 1960s through the 1990s, many still carrying original single-pane aluminum slider windows that are severely energy-inefficient under inland heat loads. Foothill-adjacent parcels closer to the San Bernardino National Forest boundary tend toward semi-custom construction with non-standard rough openings, complicating direct-replacement sizing and often requiring custom jamb extensions or reframing.
Climate stress here is real and specific. Summer temperatures regularly exceed 105°F, with winter nights occasionally near freezing. That thermal cycling degrades IGU seals and warps vinyl frames faster than in milder coastal markets. Downslope Santa Ana wind events exert repeated pressure-cycling stress on door frames and window sashes, making improper installation flashing a common source of premature failure. We spec higher-performance IGU and frame assemblies than typical coastal-market contractors quote because Highland’s conditions demand it.
Our Main Highland Services
Highland homeowners call us most often for window replacement in aging tract homes and door installation for security and wind resistance. Each service has its own dedicated Highland page with full pricing, brand options, and local code notes.
Window Replacement in Highland
We replace original single-pane aluminum sliders and failed vinyl units throughout Highland’s core neighborhoods, sizing carefully for the non-standard rough openings common in foothill semi-custom homes. WUI fire-rating requirements apply in northern zones, so we quote tempered or fire-rated glazing assemblies where CBC Chapter 7A requires them and pull the permit to prove it. Our crews work with shoe covers and drop cloths, ask before moving furniture, and use quiet tools during family nap times where we can. Window Replacement in Highland
Window Installation in Highland
New window installation in Highland means accounting for Santa Ana wind loads and extreme thermal cycling from the start. We flash every opening to county detail, spec expansion-compatible sealants for the 105°F-plus summer peaks, and verify square and level before the interior trim goes back on. Pet-safe caulk and sealants are standard where alternatives exist, and we photograph the clean-up before we leave. Window Installation in Highland
Door Installation in Highland
Door installation here faces repeated pressure-cycling from mountain downslope winds, so frame anchoring and threshold sealing matter more than in sheltered inland valleys. We install Therma-Tru and other rated entry systems with proper sill pan flashing, backdam details, and hardware rated for the load. Background-checked, uniformed technicians follow our C.A.R.E. values on every visit: Clean up like it’s our own home, Ask before we move anything, Respect your time and quiet hours, Explain the price before the work.

What Highland Customers Say
"They replaced a big foggy picture window. Careful with the furniture, laid down protection, and left no mess at all. Calm and respectful crew, and the view is clear again."
- Teresa Okafor"Replaced six windows. The crew laid runners through the house and vacuumed each room as they finished. With a crawling baby, that no mess thing meant a lot. Windows are gorgeous."
- Rosalind Kemp"Lovely windows and a tidy install. One window came in a couple weeks late from the factory, so that opening finished after the others. They kept me posted and the rest was spotless."
- Mia Donnelly
