Windows & Doors

Cut your energy bills and quiet your home with properly installed replacement windows and doors (Lic. #1092628) serving Southern California.

Licensed (Lic. #1092628), bonded, and insured — installed, not just delivered.

Low-E, dual-pane glass that cuts heat gain through LA summers.

Proper flashing and sealing so new windows never become new leaks.

Window & Door Replacement in Los Angeles

A premium window installed badly performs worse than an ordinary window installed properly. Nearly every replacement problem we see — draughts, leaks, sashes that stick — comes from flashing and out-of-square openings, not the product itself. Hollywood Contractor Corp is a licensed general contractor (CSLB #1092628) replacing windows and doors across Burbank, Glendale, Pasadena, and the greater LA area. We measure every opening individually, inspect and repair the framing once the old unit is out, flash and seal it correctly, and set the new unit square so it operates smoothly and stays weather-tight. Dual-pane Low-E glass makes a real difference to comfort through an LA summer. See our home remodeling services.

Signs It’s Time to Replace

Old windows and doors quietly cost you money and comfort every month.

  • Drafts you can feel near the frame
  • Condensation or fog between the panes
  • Sashes that stick, drop, or won’t lock
  • Rooms that never stay comfortable
  • Outside noise coming through clearly
  • Rotted, warped, or painted-shut frames

What to Look for in New Windows

A handful of specifications drive nearly all of the real-world performance.

  • Dual-pane insulated glass — the baseline standard
  • Low-E coating — blocks heat, keeps light
  • Quality frames — vinyl, fiberglass, or clad wood
  • Proper U-factor & SHGC — rated for our climate
  • Solid hardware — locks and balances that last
  • Correct sizing — measured to the actual opening

How Much Does Window & Door Replacement Cost?

Installed replacement windows in Los Angeles generally run $650 to $1,400 each. Whole-house projects usually land between $10,000 and $30,000.

Scope of work Typical LA range What it covers
Vinyl replacement window $650 – $1,100 each Dual-pane Low-E in a vinyl frame — the best value for most homes.
Fiberglass / composite $900 – $1,600 each More rigid and durable, holds paint, better for large openings.
Wood or clad wood $1,200 – $2,500 each Premium interior appearance for period and higher-end homes.
Sliding patio door $2,500 – $6,000 Two- or three-panel slider, installed and flashed.
Multi-panel / stacking door $8,000 – $25,000+ Large-opening systems for indoor-outdoor living.
Entry door $1,500 – $5,000 Security, insulation, and kerb appeal in one item.

The quality gap between installers is far wider than the gap between products. A mid-range window installed correctly will outperform a premium window installed badly, every time.

Retrofit or Full-Frame Replacement?

This choice drives both the price and how much of your stucco gets disturbed.

Retrofit (insert)

  • Existing frame is sound and square
  • Minimal stucco disturbance
  • Faster and less expensive
  • Slightly reduces the glass area
  • Suits most Los Angeles stucco homes

Full-frame replacement

  • Frames are rotted or out of square
  • Water damage around the opening
  • You want to change the opening size
  • Maximum glass area retained
  • Allows proper flashing of the whole opening

Full-frame costs more and needs stucco patching, but it is the only way to correct a rotted or leaking opening.

Frame Materials Compared

All four perform well when installed properly. The differences are appearance, longevity, and price.

Option Best for Expected life Relative cost
Vinyl Best value, strong efficiency 20–30 years $
Fiberglass Durability and large openings 30–50 years $$
Aluminium Modern slim sightlines 20–30 years $$
Clad wood Premium interior finish 30–50 years $$$

For the Los Angeles climate, the glass package matters more than the frame. Dual-pane with a Low-E coating does most of the work on comfort and cooling cost.

What to Expect During the Project

Manufacturing lead time is the long pole, not installation. Most homes are completed in one to three days once units arrive.

Stage Typical timing What happens
Measure & quote Day 0 Every opening measured individually and quoted per opening.
Order & manufacture 3–6 weeks Units built to your exact sizes. Nothing happens on site during this period.
Removal & prep Day 1 Old units removed and each opening inspected for rot or damage.
Install & flash Days 1–3 New units set square and level, flashed and sealed for water management.
Trim & finish Final day Interior and exterior trim, stucco patching where needed, operation tested.

If rot is found once an old unit is out, we photograph it and price the repair before continuing. It is common in older homes and should never be quietly covered over.

How to Choose a Contractor

Window and door work is largely invisible once it is finished, which is exactly why standards vary so widely. A few things reliably separate a proper job from an expensive patch.

Good signs

  • An active CSLB licence you can verify online
  • A written, itemised, fixed-price scope
  • They explain the cause, not just the fix
  • Realistic timelines rather than optimistic ones
  • A workmanship warranty in writing
  • Every opening measured individually
  • Flashing and water management explained

Warning signs

  • A quote given without a proper site visit
  • Pressure to sign today for a discount
  • Large cash deposits up front
  • The same solution proposed for every home
  • Vague allowances instead of fixed pricing
  • One price quoted for all windows regardless of size

Hollywood Contractor Corp holds CSLB licence #1092628 — verify it, and any contractor you are considering, with the California State License Board.


Window & Door FAQs

How much does window replacement cost in Los Angeles?

Installed replacement windows typically run about $650 to $1,400 per window, depending on size, frame material, and glass package. Large sliders, custom shapes, and multi-panel doors cost more. Whole-house projects usually land somewhere between $10,000 and $30,000. We quote per opening so you can see exactly what drives the cost.

Will new windows actually lower my energy bills?

Yes, particularly if you are replacing single-pane windows. Dual-pane glass with a Low-E coating substantially reduces heat gain through LA summers and heat loss on cold nights. Most homeowners notice improved comfort and less air-conditioning runtime right away.

How long does it take to replace windows?

Once the units arrive, most homes are completed in one to three days depending on the number of openings. Manufacturing lead time is usually the longer part — typically three to six weeks for made-to-size units.

What frame material is best?

Vinyl offers the best value and strong efficiency. Fiberglass is more rigid, more durable, and holds paint well. Clad wood gives a premium interior look at a higher price. We recommend based on your home’s style, exposure, and budget.

Do I need a permit to replace windows?

Like-for-like replacements often do not require a permit, but changing an opening size, adding a new window, or installing egress windows generally does. We confirm the requirement for your project and pull permits when needed.

Can you replace windows without damaging my stucco?

In most cases yes — retrofit installation keeps the existing frame and disturbs very little of the surrounding stucco. When the frames are rotted or the openings need repair, a full-frame replacement is better, and we patch and finish the stucco afterward.

What is an egress window and do I need one?

An egress window is a window large enough to escape through in an emergency. Any legal bedroom is required to have one. If you are converting a room into a bedroom or finishing a basement or ADU, egress is typically required for the permit.

Do the windows come with a warranty?

Yes. The units carry manufacturer warranties — often lifetime or long-term on frames and glass seals — and our installation is backed by our own workmanship warranty.
