Most window and door jobs in Lighthouse Point run $800 to $3,200 per opening depending on framing condition, impact-rating requirements, and whether the original rough opening needs modification. We’re Lightwell Windows & Doors, the independently operated Cedarwell company serving this canal-threaded peninsula, and we carry PGT, CGI, CWS, ES Windows, and four other manufacturer lines so your quote matches your home’s exposure, not our preferred vendor. Call (562) 478-8017 for a free written estimate before any work starts.
A light well is what brings daylight deep into a building. That’s what a well-installed window should do for your Lighthouse Point home, whether you’re replacing corroded single-pane sliders on a 1960s CBS ranch or installing impact-rated doors facing the Intracoastal.
Why Lighthouse Point Homes Are Different
Lighthouse Point is one of Florida’s most densely canal-threaded residential communities. Nearly every lot sits directly on a canal or the Intracoastal Waterway, which means virtually every home faces relentless marine-grade salt air exposure, not just beachfront properties. This makes corrosion-resistant, impact-rated frames and marine-grade hardware a baseline necessity at every address, and it means window and door lifespans here are measurably shorter than in neighboring inland Broward cities.
The dominant housing stock is 1950s – 1970s CBS ranch and split-level homes built during Broward County’s post-war boom. Many still carry original single-pane aluminum jalousie or horizontal slider windows that provide no meaningful hurricane protection and corrode aggressively in the canal environment. These older openings frequently require full rough-opening modification when upgrading to modern impact units because original frame dimensions don’t match current product standards.
Lighthouse Point sits in Broward County’s High Velocity Hurricane Zone, which carries the strictest wind-load and impact-resistance requirements in the nation. Every replacement window and door must carry a current Florida Product Approval number for that specific zone. The city’s peninsula geometry means there is no sheltered side of a house. Salt spray and humidity infiltrate from canal-facing and street-facing elevations alike, accelerating seal failure and hardware corrosion on all exposures year-round.
On canal-front homes throughout Lighthouse Point, the water-facing sliding glass doors and rear windows typically show frame oxidation, hardware seizure, and weatherstripping failure a full decade before the street-side openings on the same house. We routinely advise homeowners to phase replacements by prioritizing the seawall side first, rather than doing the whole house at once, to stretch budgets while addressing the highest-failure-risk openings immediately.
Our Main Lighthouse Point Services
Homeowners in Lighthouse Point call us most often for these three jobs, each with its own dedicated local page.
Window Replacement in Lighthouse Point
We remove failing original windows from 1960s and 1970s CBS homes and install impact-rated replacements that carry Florida Product Approval for the High Velocity Hurricane Zone. Most Lighthouse Point replacements require rough-opening modification because original aluminum frame dimensions don’t match modern unit specs. We handle the structural adaptation, the marine-grade hardware specification, and the permit documentation. Our crews work from the Window Replacement in Lighthouse Point page protocols, with drop cloths, shoe covers, and pet-safe sealants on every job.
Window Installation in Lighthouse Point
New construction window installation in Lighthouse Point means planning for salt-air corrosion from day one. We specify PGT or CGI impact vinyl or aluminum systems with marine-grade hardware, and we coordinate HVHZ engineering documentation with your builder. The C.A.R.E. values govern every visit: Clean up like it’s our own home, Ask before we move anything, Respect the family’s time and quiet hours, Explain the price before the work.

Door Installation in Lighthouse Point
Sliding glass doors on canal-facing elevations fail first in Lighthouse Point, and entry doors take a beating from salt air on every exposure.

Full rough-opening rebuilds are common on 1960s-era homes. See our process and product range on Door Installation in Lighthouse Point.

What Lighthouse Point 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."
