AfterWindow Company in The Acreage, FL
Most window and door jobs in The Acreage run between $650 and $2,400 per opening depending on whether it’s a standard replacement or a new impact-rated install, with whole-home projects typically spanning $8,500 to $35,000. Because The Acreage sits in unincorporated Palm Beach County, every permit routes through the county Building Division rather than a city office, and nearly every home was built before current impact-code standards took hold. We’re Lightwell Windows & Doors, and we handle that county-permit process start to finish. Call (562) 478-8017 to schedule your free estimate.
Why The Acreage Homes Are Different
The Acreage isn’t a typical suburb. Homes here sit on 1.25-to-5-acre parcels, most built between the late 1980s and early 2000s with single-pane or early double-pane windows and sliding glass doors that predate Florida’s current Wind-Borne Debris Region requirements. That means nearly every opening in The Acreage needs impact-rated replacement to comply with today’s Florida Building Code.
The rural layout matters too. Unobstructed wind from the Gulf side funnels across these flat lots during summer squalls and tropical systems, so the 130 mph design wind speed zone here isn’t theoretical. We’ve seen torn screen enclosures and cracked sliders on homes where the original installer never accounted for that exposure.
Then there’s the permit reality: no city government means no municipal building department. Everything goes through Palm Beach County, and many properties include secondary structures, horse stalls, equipment sheds, or guest quarters that share the main permit address. A window job that starts at the house often expands into a multi-structure scope with separate inspections, a complexity contractors from Wellington or Royal Palm Beach frequently underestimate.

Homeowners in The Acreage call us most often for these three jobs, each with its own local conditions and pricing page.
Window Replacement in The Acreage
Window replacement in The Acreage almost always means upgrading to impact-rated units that meet current Florida Building Code. The original single-pane and early double-pane windows in these 1980s – 2000s homes weren’t built for the 130 mph wind speeds Palm Beach County now requires. We measure every opening, specify PGT or CGI impact-rated products that match the home’s exposure, and handle Palm Beach County permitting so the inspection process doesn’t stall on your kitchen table. Window Replacement in The Acreage covers typical costs and what to expect start to finish.
Window Installation in The Acreage
New window installation in The Acreage typically involves additions, converted garages, or new secondary structures like guest quarters and pool houses. Because these structures often share a permit address with the main house, county inspectors require separate inspection paths that can trip up crews unfamiliar with unincorporated Palm Beach County. We coordinate those inspections upfront and specify ViewLux or CWS units sized for the larger openings common in Acreage floor plans. Window Installation in The Acreage has full details on new-construction specs.
Door Installation in The Acreage
Door installation here centers on oversized sliding glass doors and entry systems leading to screen enclosures and pool lanais, the dominant backyard feature in The Acreage. The original doors in these homes rarely had impact-rated glass or proper wind-load hardware, and the wide spans common in 1990s construction stress cheaper replacement units. We source Therma-Tru and PGT systems with reinforced frames and proper sill pan flashing for the exposure these rural lots see. Door Installation in The Acreage breaks down door-specific pricing and lead times.

FAQs About Window Company in The Acreage
County permit. The Acreage has no city government, so all permits and inspections route through the Palm Beach County Building Division.

Call (562) 478-8017 if you want to check your property’s permit history before quoting.
Most single-opening replacements finish in one day. Whole-home jobs with 15 – 25 openings usually run 3 – 5 days, longer if secondary structures like guest quarters or barns need separate inspections.

What The Acreage Customers Say
"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"Quiet, considerate install of several windows. They cleaned the glass and the sills and vacuumed every room. You'd never know a crew had been through. House is quieter and brighter."
