Windows & Doors Cost Breakdown (2026)
Here’s what homeowners across Los Angeles are paying in 2026. These figures reflect installed pricing, including removal of old units, installation labor, and basic trim work.
| Item | Typical Range (Installed) | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Vinyl double-hung window | $450 – $950 per window | Most common replacement in LA; good thermal performance for the price |
| Fiberglass window | $850 – $1,600 per window | Stronger frame, handles direct sun exposure well; closer color match to wood |
| Aluminum window | $550 – $1,200 per window | Common in mid-century and modern LA homes; thinner frames, larger glass |
| Wood window | $900 – $2,200 per window | Higher maintenance in coastal air, but unmatched look for Craftsman and Spanish-style homes |
| Impact-rated window (PGT, CGI) | $950 – $2,400 per window | Added structural strength; heavier glass package |
| Fixed / picture window | $400 – $1,300 per window | Non-operable; large glass panels for light and views |
| Front door (fiberglass) | $1,200 – $3,400 per door | Therma-Tru doors fall here; high durability, strong curb appeal |
| Front door (wood) | $1,800 – $5,800 per door | Custom sizes and finishes push toward the top of the range |
| Sliding patio door | $1,800 – $5,500 per door | Depends on track quality, glass package, and width |
| French door (exterior) | $2,200 – $6,500 per set | Pricing varies with swing configuration and glass |
Whole-Home Window Replacement: Los Angeles Reality Check
Most Los Angeles homes have between 12 and 22 windows. At the ranges above, a full-home vinyl replacement on a 1,500-square-foot home with 15 windows runs roughly $9,000 to $16,000. If you’re going fiberglass or aluminum across the same home, expect $14,000 to $28,000.
What moves you within those ranges:
- Window count and size – More windows costs more, obviously, but fewer large windows can cost more than several small ones. A 6-foot-wide picture window has more glass, more weight, and more installation labor.
- Glass package – Standard dual-pane glazing is the baseline. Low-E coatings (a thin metallic coating that reflects heat while letting light through) add $60 to $180 per window. Triple-pane, argon-filled glass, and acoustic glass add more.
- Frame material – Vinyl sits at the low end, wood at the high end, and aluminum or fiberglass in between depending on brand and finish.
- Installation complexity – Retrofit (also called “insert”) installation costs less than full-frame replacement. Older LA homes with stucco exteriors often benefit from retrofit work, but rotted or shifting frames require full replacement.
- Access – Second-story windows, narrow side yards, and homes on hillsides (think Echo Park, Silver Lake, Mount Washington) add scaffolding and labor time.
What Affects Windows & Doors Pricing in Los Angeles
Pricing in Los Angeles is not the same as pricing in Phoenix or Dallas. Here’s what’s specific to this market:
- Stucco construction – The vast majority of LA homes built before 1980 have stucco exteriors. Retrofit window installation into stucco openings is faster and less expensive, but if the stucco is damaged or the rough opening has shifted, you’re looking at full-frame work with stucco repair on top.
- Coastal proximity – Homes within a few miles of the ocean (Santa Monica, Pacific Palisades, Playa del Rey, Long Beach) deal with salt air. Aluminum frames corrode faster, untreated wood warps, and hardware needs marine-grade coatings. This pushes material choices toward fiberglass, vinyl, or impact-rated lines from brands like PGT and CGI.
- Seismic and structural codes – Los Angeles building codes require specific anchoring and safety glazing standards. Tempered glass is mandatory in certain locations (near doors, low windows, wet areas). Upgrading to code-compliant glass adds $40 to $110 per window.
- Home age and architectural style – Spanish Colonial, Craftsman, and mid-century modern homes have distinctive window shapes. Arched tops, divided lites, casement windows, or custom dimensions add 15% to 40% over stock sizes. Homes in Hancock Park or Los Feliz with original 1920s wood windows often need custom millwork.
- Sun exposure and heat load – Windows on west-facing and south-facing elevations get hammered by Southern California sun. Low-E coatings and UV-blocking glass packages matter more here than in a shaded bungalow. In the San Fernando Valley, where summer temperatures routinely pass 95°F, low-E and argon-filled glass are the smartest investment in the quote.
- Labor rates – Licensed Los Angeles window installers charge more than contractors in outlying areas. Union labor, prevailing wage on some multifamily jobs, and high insurance costs all factor into installed pricing. You’re not just paying for someone to set a window; you’re paying for someone who carries liability coverage, pulls permits when needed, and is available to fix issues a year later.
Types of Windows and Doors Hale Windows Los Angeles Installs
We work with eight professional-grade product lines: PGT, CGI, CWS, ES Windows, ECO Window Systems, Mr-Glass, Therma-Tru, and ViewLux. That matters because different Los Angeles homes need different things. A beach house in Venice needs corrosion resistance and impact ratings. A 1950s ranch in Burbank needs retrofit windows that match the original look. A modern build in Culver City with floor-to-ceiling glass needs large-format aluminum or steel-look frames.
We don’t push one brand. We quote what fits the house and the budget, in writing, before anyone picks up a tool.
Window Brands We Work With
PGT and CGI – Impact-rated windows built for coastal exposure. These are the lines we recommend for homes in the Palisades, Malibu, and other ocean-facing areas where wind-driven debris and salt spray shorten the life of ordinary windows.
CWS, ES Windows, and ECO Window Systems – Large-format, modern-profile windows. If you’re opening a wall to the view in the Hollywood Hills or doing a contemporary remodel in Mid-City, these brands give you thinner frames and bigger glass areas.
Mr-Glass – Specialized glass and glazing options, including heavier acoustic and thermal packages for homes near freeways, flight paths, and busy corridors.
Therma-Tru – Fiberglass entry doors. We install Therma-Tru because its door slabs handle full sun and daily use better than most wood doors in LA’s dry climate, and the finish options are broad enough to match any architectural style from Spanish to modern.
ViewLux – Premium door and window lines, including custom configurations for larger openings and contemporary designs.
Door Types and Pricing Context
Repair or replacement decisions matter here. A sagging door or a worn threshold often costs $250 to $600 to repair, while a full replacement runs $1,200 to $5,800. If the door frame is rotted or out of square, replacement is the honest recommendation. If it’s hardware and weatherstripping, repair is the smart call. We tell homeowners which one we’d choose for our own house.
How Much Does Window Repair Cost in Los Angeles?
Not every window problem requires a full replacement. Repair pricing in Los Angeles as of 2026:
- Glass replacement – $180 to $450 per pane, depending on glass type and access. Tempered, low-E, or specialty glass runs higher.
- Hardware replacement – $75 to $250 per window. Locks, balances, crank mechanisms, and latches fall here.
- Weatherstripping and seal repair – $90 to $280 per window. Drafty windows in older LA homes often come back to failed seals or compressed weatherstripping.
- Foggy window repair (failed seal) – $150 to $400 per window. The glass unit gets replaced, not the whole window.
- Slider and track repair – $120 to $350 per door. Bent tracks, worn rollers, and alignment issues.
Every repair at Hale Windows Los Angeles comes with a written guarantee. If the repair fails, the second visit is free. That’s not a promo; it’s company policy.
How to Save on Windows & Doors in Los Angeles
You don’t have to overspend to get good windows. Here’s where to find savings without cutting corners:
- Replace on the north and east sides first – Windows on southern and western exposures take the most heat load and degrade fastest. If you’re phasing the project, tackle the worst side first and budget the rest.
- Match the material to the need – Putting impact-rated windows on a shaded interior courtyard isn’t necessary. Putting vinyl on an ocean-facing front wall is a false economy. We’ll tell you which material makes sense for each elevation.
- Don’t overbuy glass on non-critical windows – Closets, hallways, and utility areas don’t need triple-pane acoustic glass. Standard dual-pane with low-E is plenty. That said, any window that gets direct afternoon sun should get low-E. It pays for itself in cooling savings.
- Repair what’s repairable – A worn lock, a cracked screen, or a failed seal doesn’t mean the whole window needs replacing. If the frame is solid and the glass is intact, repair usually makes more sense.
- Ask about permit requirements upfront – Most window and door replacements in Los Angeles are classified as like-for-like replacements and don’t require permits. Structural changes, enlarging openings, or adding new windows do. Knowing this before you sign saves time and fees.

How Do Hale Windows Los Angeles Prices Compare to the LA Market?
We’re not the cheapest option in Los Angeles, and we’re not trying to be. What we do differently is put the price in writing before the work starts, so the number you approve is the number you pay. No change orders for “unexpected conditions.” No surprise labor charges.
Here’s what our written pricing includes that some Los Angeles contractors treat as add-ons:
- Removal and disposal – Old windows, doors, and packaging leave with us, not in your bins.
- Basic interior and exterior trim – We finish the opening cleanly so it looks like the window belongs there.
- Sealing and insulation – Proper flashing and sealant work at the rough opening, not just a bead of caulk on the outside.
- Hardware and screens – If it’s part of the unit, it’s in the price.
- Cleanup – The work area is cleared before we leave.
Our 365-Day Done Right Promise covers every installation and repair. If the work isn’t right, we make it right, no argument needed. That promise is stamped on every job we do in Los Angeles.
The Threshold Standard: Who Shows Up at Your Door
One thing that doesn’t show up on a price sheet matters most to a lot of Los Angeles homeowners: who is actually coming to the house. If you’re home alone, have young children, or are older, opening the door to a stranger is a genuine concern.
That’s why Hale Windows Los Angeles operates under the Threshold Standard. Here’s exactly how it works:
- Every technician is background-checked before they ever wear a Hale uniform.
- Every technician’s identity is verified by the company, not just by a name on a work order.
- Every technician wears a photo badge with their name visible.
- Before the visit, you receive the technician’s name and photo by text or email.
- When the doorbell rings, you already know who is standing there and what they look like.
You don’t get this from a general contractor or a big-box installer. You get it from Hale Windows Los Angeles because we built the process around it from day one in 2009.
How Much Does a Front Door Cost in Los Angeles?
A new front door in Los Angeles runs $1,200 to $5,800 installed in 2026. Here’s the spread:
- Basic fiberglass door (Therma-Tru) – $1,200 to $2,200. Includes standard hardware, weatherstripping, and single-coat paint or factory finish.
- Mid-range wood or fiberglass with glass inserts – $2,200 to $4,000. Decorative glass, sidelites, or upgraded hardware push this tier.
- Premium custom wood door – $3,500 to $5,800. Custom sizes, exotic woods, arched tops, or wrought-iron details.
We recommend Therma-Tru fiberglass for most Los Angeles homes. It holds up to direct sun better than wood, doesn’t warp in the dry heat, and gives you the look of painted or stained wood at roughly 60% of the cost of a custom wood door.
How Much Does a Sliding Patio Door Cost in Los Angeles?
Sliding patio doors in Los Angeles run $1,800 to $5,500 installed. The spread comes down to:
- Width and glass area – A 5-foot slider is one number. A 12-foot multi-panel slider is another.
- Frame material – Vinyl is the budget workhorse, aluminum the modern favorite, fiberglass the premium middle.
- Glass package – Low-E, tempered, acoustic, and impact-rated glass all add cost in steps.
- Track quality – Soft-close hardware, raised tracks, and integrated screens add $200 to $600.
In LA homes where the patio door is the primary light source for the living room, we often recommend higher-grade glass and a narrower frame. Those extra inches of glass are worth more in a 1950s ranch than in a brand-new build with 10-foot ceilings.
Can You Fix a Window the Same Day in Los Angeles?
Yes, in most cases. Basic glass replacement, hardware fixes, and seal repairs are same-day jobs. We stock common glass sizes and hardware for most brands we work with, including PGT, CGI, and Therma-Tru components. If the part isn’t on the truck, we’ll tell you before we schedule the visit, not after.
For full window or door replacements, we schedule in one to two weeks depending on product availability. Custom-sized windows from ES Windows or CGI add lead time. We’ll give you a firm date at the time of the quote.
FAQs – Windows & Doors Cost
How much does it cost to replace all the windows in a house in Los Angeles?
For a typical 1,500 to 2,000-square-foot Los Angeles home with 15 to 22 windows, full replacement runs $9,000 to $24,000 in 2026. Vinyl replacement on a smaller home starts around $7,000; fiberglass or aluminum across a larger home can exceed $28,000. The exact number depends on window count, material, glass package, and whether you’re doing retrofit or full-frame installation. Call (213) 269-5559 for an exact quote – estimates are free and the price is in writing before work starts.
Is it cheaper to repair or replace a window in Los Angeles?
Repair runs $75 to $450 per window, while replacement runs $450 to $2,400 per window. Repair wins when the frame is sound and the glass is intact – failed seals, broken hardware, and cracked single panes are all repair territory. Replacement wins when the frame is rotted, the window is original to a pre-1960 home, or you want improved energy performance. We’ll tell you straight which one makes sense for your specific window, and every repair carries a written guarantee with a free second visit if it fails.
How much does low-E glass add to window cost in Los Angeles?
Low-E glass (a thin metallic coating that blocks heat while letting light through) adds $60 to $180 per window over standard dual-pane glazing. In Los Angeles, where west and south-facing windows get hammered by afternoon sun, it’s the single best investment in a new window. The cooling savings during Valley heat waves and Pasadena summers typically recover the upgrade cost within three to five years.
What does it cost to replace a sliding glass door in Los Angeles?
Sliding glass door replacement in Los Angeles runs $1,800 to $5,500 installed in 2026. A standard 6-foot vinyl slider with dual-pane glass runs about $1,800 to $2,800. Aluminum or fiberglass multi-panel sliders run $3,000 to $5,500. If you’re replacing a door that’s part of a larger opening or adding code-required tempered glass, expect to be in the middle of that range. Call (213) 269-5559 for a written quote – we’ll tell you exactly what your specific door costs.
How much does a front door replacement cost in Los Angeles?
Front door replacement in Los Angeles runs $1,200 to $5,800 installed in 2026. A standard Therma-Tru fiberglass door runs $1,200 to $2,200. A wood door with decorative glass or sidelites runs $2,200 to $4,000. A custom-built wood door runs $3,500 to $5,800. The material matters less than the installation quality – a poorly flashed door rots the frame and leaks in the first heavy rain. Our installation is covered by the 365-Day Done Right Promise, so if it’s not right, we make it right.
Can you come today?
For repairs, often yes. We keep same-day availability for glass replacement and hardware fixes across Los Angeles – from the Valley to the Westside to South LA. For full replacements, we schedule in one to two weeks. Call (213) 269-5559 and a live person answers, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. No voicemail, no callback queue.
