Before & After Gallery - Westlight Windows Orlando

Windows & Doors Before & After in Orlando, FL

Photos tell the truth faster than any sales pitch. We could talk all day about low-e coatings and impact ratings, but what you really want to see is what your Orlando home looks like after the old windows come out and the right ones go in. Below are real scenarios we walk into across Orange County every week, from College Park bungalows to Dr. Phillips lakefronts. The problems repeat. The outcomes, when the product actually fits the house, speak for themselves.

Recent Transformations

Single-Hung to Impact-Rated PGT in Winter Park

The homeowner came to us with original 1974 aluminum frames that sweated through every humid Orlando summer and rattled when a garbage truck passed two streets over. We pulled the old units, rebuilt the rough openings, and set PGT impact-rated single-hungs with low-e glass, a thin coating that reflects heat back into the room in winter and out in summer. The house now holds 72 degrees in August without the AC cycling every eight minutes, and the street noise is gone. That west light in the front room, the late-afternoon sun that pours through a good window, finally looks the way it should.

French Door Replacement in Baldwin Park

Baldwin Park townhomes take a beating from afternoon storms, and this rear French door had been swallowing water at the threshold for years. The wood was soft at the bottom corners, the glass seal had failed, and the door stuck so badly the owners had stopped using it. We installed a Therma-Tru fiberglass French door with a rot-resistant frame, which matters in a climate where humidity never really leaves. The door swings open with two fingers now, and the tight seal stopped the water intrusion that had been creeping under the flooring.

Sliding Glass Door to Open-Frame ViewLux in Dr. Phillips

The old sliding door had failed seals on both panels, so the lake view looked like it was permanently wrapped in wax paper. We pulled the aluminum frame and installed a ViewLux slider with narrow stiles, which means more glass and less metal interrupting the sightline. The homeowners now open the door without bracing a shoulder against it, and the view is actually part of the room again. In Dr. Phillips, where the water view is half the home’s value, fogged glass is a slow leak in equity.

Full-Home Window Replacement for a 1950s Colonialtown Bungalow

Colonialtown homes have charm that original 1950s windows undermine with every utility bill. This project involved seventeen window openings, all with different settling issues and one with a rotted sill that had gone unnoticed behind a curtain for a decade. We measured every opening individually, replaced the sill, and installed ECO Window Systems vinyl windows matched to the home’s proportions. The bungalow keeps its curb appeal, but the power bill dropped materially in the first summer, and the rooms at the front of the house stopped feeling like a greenhouse by 3 p.m.

Casement Window Upgrade in Thornton Park

Three casement windows in this Thornton Park condo had cranks so stripped the windows were effectively fixed in place, and one had been propped shut with a cut-down broom handle for two years. We pulled the old units and put in ES Windows casements with clean hardware and a proper seal on each frame. The owners can actually open windows now, which matters in a city where late-afternoon breeze is the only free cooling you get. The crank action is smooth, and the rooms no longer smell like a closed drawer.

Impact-Rated Whole-Home Retrofit in Lake Nona

Lake Nona homes built in the 2010s often came with builder-grade windows that met code at the time and nothing more. This homeowner wanted real storm protection after a neighbor’s lanai screen ended up in their yard during a summer squall. We measured and installed CGI impact windows with laminated glass throughout the home, which means if debris hits the glass, it cracks but holds in place instead of exploding inward. The energy improvement was a side benefit that showed up on the very next bill. Most single-window replacement jobs of this type run $1,800 to $3,400 installed, depending on size and frame condition, which is a conversation worth having before hurricane season tightening begins.
