Choose your installer
The unit is half the job - the install is the other half. Our own background-checked crews measure, set, seal and insulate every opening, and they know the lines we quote inside and out because they install them every week.
Select the right products

Prepare your home for install

Window Company in Solana Beach, CA
Westlight Windows & Doors handles window replacement, window installation, and door installation for Solana Beach homes where salt air and coastal sun punish ordinary materials. Most of the calls we take from Solana Beach involve original 1970s and 80s aluminum frames that have corroded at the corners, or west-facing sliders whose rollers gave up years ago. We carry eight manufacturer lines, give you a written price before any work starts, and answer the phone with a live person any hour of the day. If you’re weighing options, call (619) 793-3829 and we’ll talk through what your house actually needs.
Why Solana Beach Homes Are Different
Solana Beach sits close enough to the water that the marine layer does real work on window frames, door hardware, and seals. Homes here fall into two rough groups: the 1970s and 80s single-family builds with their original aluminum sliders, and the newer custom homes with walls of glass facing the ocean. Both need different products, but they share the same enemy – salt. Aluminum pitting at the sash corners is the most common failure we see, followed by fogged double-pane glass where the seal finally let moisture in.
Homes east of Highway 101, especially those above the coastal bluffs, get direct salt spray on every west-facing opening. That exposure requires marine-grade anodized aluminum or stainless hardware, not the standard zinc or powder-coated stuff stocked by most inland suppliers. We spec stainless roller assemblies and anodized frames on those ocean-facing jobs because the alternative is a callback in three years and a homeowner who was promised better.
Coastal development codes in Solana Beach add another layer: some projects need design review, and window or door changes that alter a home’s street-facing appearance can trigger HOA or city comment. We’re familiar with that process and factor it into the schedule so the permit or review step doesn’t surprise you mid-job.
Our Main Solana Beach Services
Most Solana Beach homeowners who call us fall into one of three situations: replacing windows that have failed in the salt air, installing new windows in an addition or remodel, or replacing an entry or patio door that no longer seals or slides. Each of those is handled on its own Solana Beach page, linked below.
Window Replacement in Solana Beach
Replacing existing windows in Solana Beach usually means pulling corroded aluminum frames and putting in something built for the coast. We measure every opening, account for how much framing has shifted over 40 years, and order product that fits without heavy shimming. On bluff-side homes, we recommend impact-rated or marine-grade hardware on anything facing the ocean. Pricing, product options, and what a typical replacement looks like are covered in detail on the Window Replacement in Solana Beach page.
Window Installation in Solana Beach
New-construction and remodel window work in Solana Beach tends to involve bigger openings, more glass, and stricter design review. We install the same eight manufacturer lines for new builds as we do for replacements, which means the product choice doesn’t shrink just because the project is larger. Flashing and waterproofing matter more here than inland because driving marine moisture finds every shortcut. The Window Installation in Solana Beach page lays out the process and pricing.
Door Installation in Solana Beach
Door work in Solana Beach splits between entry doors and glass sliders, and both take a beating from the salt air. Slider rollers fail first, then the frame, then the seal. We install Therma-Tru entry doors and glass wall systems with hardware rated for coastal exposure, and we replace the threshold and rough opening properly rather than hiding rot behind new trim. See the Door Installation in Solana Beach page for specifics.

Brands We Service in Solana Beach
Because Solana Beach’s coastal conditions narrow the field, we stock and install specific lines that hold up: PGT and CGI for impact-rated protection on ocean-facing openings, Therma-Tru for entry doors, and ViewLux for higher-end glazing packages. Parts are ordered by the job, not pulled from a generic warehouse shelf. For the full line card, see our brands.

What pushes a Solana Beach quote higher than the same job inland is hardware: marine-grade anodized frames and stainless rollers cost more, but they’re not optional on a bluff. Every quote we give is written, line-itemed, and handed to you before any work starts – the price on that sheet is the price you pay.

FAQs About Window Company in Solana Beach
We can usually get an estimator to a Solana Beach home within one to two business days. The estimate visit takes 45 minutes to an hour, and you’ll leave with a written, line-itemed price – not a verbal range and a promise to follow up. Call (619) 793-3829 to set a time.
It depends on the scope. Straight replacement of like-for-like windows and doors typically doesn’t require a building permit, but moving openings, enlarging them, or changing the exterior appearance may trigger city design review or HOA approval. We’ll tell you in the estimate what your specific job needs, and we handle the paperwork either way.

What Solana Beach Customers Say
"Replaced eight drafty old windows that were basically single pane. The house is warmer already and the street noise is way down. Crew was on time both days and the price was exactly the quote."
- Harold Bemis"Our sliding patio door had come off its track years ago and we just lived with it. New one is smooth as butter. They hauled off the old one and vacuumed up before they left."
- Jessica Landry"Windows are great and the install was solid. One of the installers was quieter and didn't explain much, but the lead walked me through everything at the end and made sure I was happy."
