Why Juniper Windows & Doors Is Westwood Lakes’s Preferred Window Replacement Company
Westwood Lakes homeowners tend to be direct, and they expect the same from a contractor. That’s how we’ve built our reputation here. Sean Mackey, who leads Juniper Windows & Doors, set the standard early: every job gets a written price before any work starts, and that number doesn’t move unless the homeowner changes the scope. The 365-Day Done Right Promise backs it in writing – parts and labor, for a full year after installation.
The crews you’ll see in Westwood Lakes are background-checked, uniformed, and they walk in wearing shoe covers. You get a live arrival time you can track, before-and-after photos of every opening, and a digital invoice you can pay from a link.

We’re a windows-and-doors specialist inside the Relay Home Co. family, founded in 2001. We don’t do kitchens. We don’t do roofing. We replace windows and doors, and we carry eight product lines – PGT, CGI, CWS, ES Windows, ECO Window Systems, Mr-Glass, Therma-Tru, and ViewLux – so the glass that goes into a Westwood Lakes home is never a compromise.

What Window Replacement Costs in Westwood Lakes
Here are the honest ranges for Westwood Lakes, based on the work we actually scope and price in this housing stock:
- Standard impact window, installed: $800 – $1,500 per window
- Impact single-hung: $900 – $1,800 per window
- Large or custom openings: $2,500 – $5,000 per opening
- Whole-home packages: $8,000 – $25,000+
What moves the price in Westwood Lakes? Opening count, first. Wind zone and floor height – a second-floor opening on the west side of the village gets more wind load than a ground-floor unit tucked behind mature trees. Frame material matters too: vinyl runs lower, aluminum and impact-rated composites run higher. And the biggest driver: whether it’s a sash-only replacement or a full-frame tear-out. The only way to know is a measure. We do that free, in your home, with a written quote on the spot.

Window Sash Replacement in Westwood Lakes
Window sash replacement in Westwood Lakes means swapping the moving panel of the window – the frame that holds the glass – without tearing out the surrounding jamb or trim. In the 1970s ranches off Westwood Lakes Boulevard, we see this constantly: the insulated glass unit fails, the sash gets foggy, but the frame is still square and sound. Replacing just the sash costs less than a full-frame job, usually $400 – $800 per opening for a quality vinyl or aluminum sash with low-E glass, and it preserves your existing interior trim and exterior stucco.
When a Westwood Lakes Homeowner Needs It
Fog between the panes is the classic sign. The seal on the insulated glass unit has failed, and no amount of cleaning fixes it. If the sash is hard to lift, or the window won’t stay open, the balance mechanism or the sash itself is worn. You don’t always need a new window – you may just need a new sash.
Why the NOA Still Applies
Miami-Dade County requires a NOA or Florida Product Approval even for a sash-only swap. We spec every sash replacement to match the existing design pressure and carry the paperwork through final inspection. Skipping that step means a failed inspection or a lost wind mitigation credit.
Window Glass Repair in Westwood Lakes
Window glass repair in Westwood Lakes usually means replacing a cracked or fogged insulated glass unit while keeping the frame in place. Prices in Westwood Lakes run $250 – $600 for a standard double-pane unit, $400 – $900 if it’s impact-rated laminated glass. It’s the lowest-cost fix when the failure is the glass itself, not the frame or the sash.
Fogged Glass and Seal Failure
South Florida sun cooks window seals. After a decade of UV exposure and humidity cycling, the desiccant inside the spacer bar saturates and the unit starts fogging. If you’re seeing condensation between the panes in an east-facing kitchen window off Westwood Lakes Boulevard, that’s a failed seal. We replace the glass unit and reseal the sash.
Cracked or Impact-Damaged Glass
A crack from a lawn mower stone or a branch in a storm usually means replacing the entire glass unit, not patching it. If the home has impact-rated windows, the replacement glass must carry the same Miami-Dade NOA as the original. We match it, install it, and caulk the perimeter so the opening seals tight.
Trusted Brands We Service in Westwood Lakes
We install and service CGI, CWS, and ES Windows product lines, and we stock common sash components and glass units for faster turnarounds on Westwood Lakes jobs. CGI impact windows are the workhorse for many Westwood Lakes homes – they carry Miami-Dade NOA ratings and stand up to the area’s humidity and salt air. CWS and ES Windows give us flexibility on custom sizes and sightlines for larger infill homes. If you have a window from any of these brands – or you’re ready to put one in – call (682) 281-2168. We’ll tell you straight what’s fixable and what’s ready for replacement.
Common Window Replacement Problems We See in Westwood Lakes Homes
- Fogged double-pane units on south-facing ranch windows. Years of direct sun plus humidity cycling kills the seal, and the glass fogs between the panes. Sash replacement fixes it without touching the stucco.
- Rusted or warped aluminum frames on 1970s originals. The original single-pane aluminum windows in older Westwood Lakes homes are often out of square and pitted. Full-frame replacement is usually the right call, and switching to impact-rated vinyl or aluminum cuts heat gain noticeably.
- Paint-sealed sashes that won’t open. Decades of repainting can glue a sash into place. Forcing it breaks the balance or the glass. We strip, reset, and re-caulk the opening as part of a sash swap.
- Incorrect rough openings on infill homes. Newer two-story homes sometimes have non-standard opening sizes. A stock-sized unit won’t match the jamb depth, which forces ugly trim work. We measure before we quote, and the written price reflects what’s actually there.
Florida Pays You Back
Replacement windows in Westwood Lakes qualify for real incentives, and they stack. My Safe Florida Home offers matching grants up to $10,000 for qualifying wind-mitigation upgrades, which includes impact windows. Florida exempts impact-resistant windows and doors from sales tax. The federal 25C energy credit covers 30% of the product cost, up to $600 per year, for qualifying energy-efficient units. And after a wind-mitigation inspection (usually $75 – $150), many homeowners see their windstorm premium drop by around 25%. Programs change, and insurance carriers set their own numbers, so we can’t guarantee the final credit – but we’ll hand you the paperwork to pursue it.
A note on ratings: every window we install in Westwood Lakes carries a Miami-Dade NOA or Florida Product Approval specific to its configuration. Design pressures are matched to the opening – we never spec a unit above +/-100 PSF because that exceeds what real fabrication produces. The 140 – 170 mph figures you’ll hear about are wind speeds, not design pressure ratings. Different numbers, different meanings. We’ll explain it straight when we quote you.
Impact Windows vs. Hurricane Shutters in Westwood Lakes
If you’re weighing impact windows against hurricane shutters, here’s the honest comparison. Impact windows are permanent – there’s no panels to haul out of a garage, no tracks to maintain, and no 30-minute scramble when a storm watch drops. They’re rated for wind-borne debris and they’re up every day, not just when a named storm is coming. The trade-off is upfront cost: impact windows run $800 – $1,500 per opening installed, while shutters cost less to install but more in labor, storage, and inconvenience over a decade. We don’t install shutters. We install impact windows, and for most Westwood Lakes homeowners who’ve gone through a storm prep cycle, permanent protection wins.

FAQs About Window Replacement in Westwood Lakes
Yes. Any replacement window component in Westwood Lakes – sash, glass unit, or full frame – must carry a Miami-Dade NOA or Florida Product Approval, and the installation must meet HVHZ standards. The county doesn’t make exceptions for smaller jobs. We handle the paperwork and make sure the unit matches the opening’s design pressure. Call (682) 281-2168 to scope your project.
Custom fabrication runs 4 – 6 weeks for most impact-rated units. Once your windows arrive, installation of standard openings is typically done in as fast as a single day, with final inspection scheduled as soon as the county inspector can come out. A whole-home package might run two to three installation days. We’ll give you a calendar at the quote, in writing.
Almost nothing, if the scope was measured right. The price changes only when the wall reveals something the original measure couldn’t see – rotted framing, termite damage, or a rough opening that’s out of square beyond tolerance. When that happens, we stop, show you photos, and get written sign-off before any added cost. That’s the rule. Call (682) 281-2168 for a quote that spells this out.
They generally do. Impact-rated glass combines laminated construction with a low-E coating that reflects solar heat, so the AC doesn’t work as hard in a Westwood Lakes summer. The drop varies by home, orientation, and how much the old windows leaked – but on a two-story ranch off Westwood Lakes Boulevard where we replaced four fogged double-hungs, the homeowner’s first full summer showed a measurable cooling-cost drop. A measure can help you see the realistic expectation.
They can, after a wind-mitigation inspection. Many carriers reduce the windstorm portion of the premium once impact-rated windows with NOA paperwork are verified on the home. Average credits run around 25% on the windstorm premium. We provide the documentation; your insurer sets the final number. Call (682) 281-2168 to get started with a free in-home measure.
