AfterFast, Reliable Windows & Doors Across Citrus
Window replacement in Citrus typically runs $4,500 to $15,000 for a full-home job, while impact window installation lands between $8,000 and $25,000 depending on how many openings and the Chapter 7A fire-rated assemblies your section of Citrus requires. We get calls from homeowners on Barranca Avenue, along Route 66, and through the 91702 corridor who want a straight answer on price before anyone steps foot on the property. Call (877) 610-1318 and you’ll get one. Tom Barrett and his sons run the crews that show up in Citrus, not a rotating cast of subcontractors.
The honest backdrop here matters: Citrus is unincorporated Los Angeles County, which means your permit lands with LA County Department of Public Works Building and Safety, not some city hall down the street. A contractor who swings between Azusa jobs and Citrus jobs without knowing that difference will cost you weeks. We know the difference because we’ve pulled County permits for window and door replacements in 91702 for years, and we’ve stood in enough Citrus living rooms to know what the original 1950s framing looks like behind the trim.
Why Barrett & Sons Construction Is Citrus’s Preferred Windows & Doors Company
Founded in 1998 and owner-operated by Tom Barrett, we’re the name-on-the-truck crew, not a franchise that dispatches strangers. The permit inspector works for you, not for me, that’s why I like him. That view shapes every window and door job we take in Citrus: we pull County permits on every eligible project, and we hand you a written change order before any scope moves. If the allowance isn’t on paper, it’s a surprise waiting for a date.
Citrus homeowners tell us the same story: a national company quoted one number over the phone, then the crew arrived from two counties away with a different number taped to the clipboard. We publish Tom Barrett’s name, address, and license number. Look it up before you sign anything. Our reviews from 91702 customers mention the same things over and over: the crew showed up when they said, the permit got pulled, the inspector signed off, and the final invoice matched the written scope. A live person answers our phone 24/7, not a voicemail box or an out-of-state call center.
Our Windows & Doors Services in Citrus
Window Installation
Most Citrus homes we service carry their original single-pane wood windows from the 1950s through 1970s. The frames are soft at the corners, the glazing falls out in chunks, and the Santa Ana winds find every gap. We install Simonton and Ply Gem vinyl and fiberglass lines sized to the openings you have, and we pull the LA County permit so the flashing and nailing pattern get inspected, not just eyeballed. On homes within the Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zone, we spec dual-pane and tempered options that meet Chapter 7A requirements where the County calls for them.
Door Installation
A new front door in Citrus is rarely just a door. The original jamb is usually out of square, the threshold has settled, and the wall around it carries 70 years of paint and patch. We hang entry doors, exterior French doors, and interior passage doors, and we’re not done until the door swings true, latches clean, and shuts without dragging. If your home sits on one of the sloped lots up against the San Gabriel foothills, the settlement factor matters more, and we frame and shim for it on day one, not after the door binds.
We also carry Windows & Doors service depth that covers sliding and patio doors, glass railing systems, and hurricane protection. For Citrus homeowners who want one crew for the house and the yard, we also handle Fence Installation in Citrus and Driveway & Pavers in Citrus, so your property works as one job with one name on the truck.
Window Replacement
Full-home window replacement in Citrus runs $4,500 to $15,000, and the spread comes down to three things: how many openings, whether you’re in a fire-zone street where county code pushes you to dual-pane tempered glass, and what the original framing looks like once we pull the old units. Homes in the postwar tracts around Citrus often have rough openings that shifted over six decades, so we measure every opening individually. We don’t order from the original blueprint and hope.
Impact Windows & Doors
Impact windows in Citrus serve double duty against Santa Ana winds and the ember cast that comes off the foothills. A full impact package, including sliding glass doors, runs $8,000 to $25,000 depending on square footage and the frame line. We install PGT and CGI products rated for LA County’s Chapter 7A zones, and we handle the permit and inspection scheduling through EPIC-LA so the paper trail is airtight. When the winds start shaking the windows on a November evening, these units are the ones that stay quiet.

Trusted Brands We Service in Citrus
We install Simonton, Ply Gem, PGT, and CGI products, and we stock common replacement parts for Citrus customers so a broken latch or worn balance doesn’t wait three weeks on a freight truck. We carry these brands because their engineering tolerances match what Citrus homes actually need, vinyl and aluminum lines that hold square through temperature swings and hold their rating when the County fire marshal checks the sticker on the glass. Materials you can look up, not mystery brands off a van.
Common Windows & Doors Problems We See in Citrus Homes
- Stuck sashes and rotted wood frames. The original 1950s-to-1970s tract windows in Citrus were built for a different climate reality. Decades of foothill temperature swings and dry heat bake the putty and rot the sills, and by the time we arrive, half the sashes won’t budge without a pry bar.
- Gaps that whistle during Santa Ana events. Citrus sits at the base of the San Gabriel Mountains, and the wind events that roar down the canyons push dust and embers through every old window seal. Homeowners feel the draft seven months of the year and see the ember risk the other five.
- Doors that bind after hillside settlement. Lots carved from old citrus groves often have irregular grading, and the sloped parcels up toward the foothills settle unevenly. A door that scrapes the threshold in summer might swing free in winter, then bind again by spring.
- Single-pane glass that fails County fire codes. If your home falls within the VHFHSZ boundaries that trace through parts of 91702, a major renovation or window swap now triggers the fire-resistant assembly requirements. Many Citrus homeowners learn this for the first time when they ask for a straight replacement and the inspector won’t sign off on the old spec.

FAQs - Windows & Doors in Citrus
We typically have a crew in Citrus within a day or two for an estimate, and we schedule installation work once the LA County permit clears. You’ll get a written scope and a start date before we order materials. Call (877) 610-1318 to lock a time, and we’ll honor the schedule we put in writing.
Yes. We work throughout the 91702 area, including the parts of Citrus that fall inside the Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zone. We spec and install the Chapter 7A-rated assemblies the County requires on those streets, and we handle the EPIC-LA permit and inspection scheduling end to end.
If a window is broken and the house is open to the street, call (877) 610-1318 right away. A live person answers 24/7. We’ll get you boarded up or get a replacement ordered, and we’ll scope the full repair before anything else moves.
Not meaningfully. The material and labor costs are the same, but Citrus’s unincorporated status can add administrative lead time because the LA County permit portal and inspection scheduling run through a different pipeline than the neighboring city building divisions. We build that into the schedule honestly. You’ll get the same price for the same window in Citrus that you’d get across the line in Azusa.
Yes. Every job comes with our 90-Day Done Right Promise, written on the contract, not buried in fine print. If something isn’t done right, call and Tom comes back and makes it right. We also honor manufacturer warranties on the Simonton, Ply Gem, PGT, and CGI products we install. Call (877) 610-1318 for the exact terms on your job.
