Built on 1950s and 1960s canals
The vast majority of Lighthouse Point is built on canals dug in the 1950s and 1960s, so many homes have a waterfront side with open-water exposure.

Impact windows in Lighthouse Point, FL
The median Lighthouse Point home was built in 1967, on canals dug for boat owners. We replace original windows with Miami-Dade NOA impact windows sized for waterfront exposure and file the city permit.
Lighthouse Point was built out in the late 1950s and 1960s, mostly on canals with direct access to the ocean through the Hillsboro Inlet. The median home dates to 1967, so many houses still have older windows on a waterfront side that faces the most wind.
The city's permit rules are simple and strict: a permit to repair, replace, or install windows, and another line item for removing a window and filling in the opening. We handle both, file in SmartGov, and size every window for your exposure.
