AfterWindow Company in Ojus, FL
Lightwell Windows & Doors serves Ojus homeowners with window replacement, window installation, and door installation tailored to the strict Miami-Dade High Velocity Hurricane Zone. Most Ojus jobs involve converting original 1950s – 1970s aluminum jalousie or single-pane units to impact-rated glazing that carries a current Notice of Acceptance, a requirement that doesn’t apply just a few miles north in Broward County. Call us at (562) 478-8017 to schedule your free estimate.
Why Ojus Homes Are Different
Ojus sits squarely inside Miami-Dade County’s High Velocity Hurricane Zone, the nation’s most demanding wind-load jurisdiction. Every window and door we install must carry a current Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance with its NOA number matching the permit application exactly, a paperwork standard that trips up crews from Broward County who aren’t used to HVHZ protocol.
The housing stock here is distinctive: concrete-block ranch homes built from the 1950s through the mid-1970s, many still fitted with original aluminum-frame jalousie windows and single-pane sliding glass doors. Those original units provide zero impact resistance, and decades of moisture infiltration have often deteriorated the rough openings and rotted the wood bucks behind them. We rebuild that framing before setting the new unit, or the job won’t pass Miami-Dade rough inspection.
Salt-laden air from the Atlantic, just 3 – 5 miles east, pits aluminum frames and accelerates hardware corrosion on door thresholds and rollers. Frame-to-glass seal failure often happens before the glass itself cracks. Insurers across northeast Miami-Dade are canceling or repricing non-compliant policies, so the pressure to convert to full-home impact glazing is real and immediate.
Our Main Ojus Services
Most calls from Ojus homeowners fall into three categories: replacing failed original windows, installing impact-rated units in new openings or additions, and upgrading entry or patio doors to HVHZ-compliant systems.
Window Replacement in Ojus
We remove the original aluminum jalousie or single-pane sliders common in Ojus ranches, assess the rough opening for moisture damage, rebuild any rotted wood bucks, and install impact-rated replacements that carry a current Miami-Dade NOA. Every job gets shoe covers and drop cloths, pet-safe sealants where there’s a choice, and a photo of the clean-up before we leave. Window Replacement in Ojus
Window Installation in Ojus
New window openings in Ojus additions or remodels require HVHZ-rated products from day one, with framing that meets the same wind-load standards as replacements. We coordinate with your contractor on rough-opening specs, pull the permit with the correct NOA documentation, and schedule Miami-Dade inspection once the unit is set and flashed.

Door Installation in Ojus
Patio door and entry door replacements in Ojus must meet the same impact and wind-load standards as windows, with thresholds and hardware rated for salt-air corrosion. We stock corrosion-resistant rollers and hardware, and we check every door’s operation across multiple open-close cycles before the crew leaves. Door Installation in Ojus

Most single openings finish in four to six hours, but Ojus jobs often need extra time for rough-opening repairs behind original aluminum frames.
