AfterFast, Reliable Windows & Doors Across Burbank
Window and door replacement in Burbank typically runs $4,500 to $15,000 for standard retrofits, and $8,000 to $25,000 when you step up to impact-rated units. Those numbers reflect what we actually see in the 91505, 91506, 91507, and 91508 ZIP codes, where post-war ranch houses and California bungalows make up most of the housing stock. If you’re dealing with original single-pane windows from the 1950s, you’re losing money every summer when Burbank temperatures climb past 100°F. Call Tom Barrett at (877) 610-1318 and we’ll come out, measure, and hand you a written line-item estimate before you spend a dime.
Why Barrett & Sons Construction Is Burbank’s Preferred Windows & Doors Company
We’ve been working in Burbank long enough to know that a two-story addition on South Pass Avenue can hit an FAA height ceiling that a contractor from Santa Clarita wouldn’t even think to check. That’s the difference between a crew that lives here, and a franchise that just drives through. Tom Barrett’s name, address, and license number are published and verifiable; ask anyone on your street, or look up the license number yourself. We pull permits on every eligible job and the inspections get signed before we call it done.
Burbank homeowners tell us the same thing again and again: they want a contractor who answers his own phone. A live person picks up at (877) 610-1318, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Not a call center. Not a voicemail box. When you call about a fogged window or a door that’s sticking in the summer heat, you’ll get an answer. Our crew members are background-checked, uniformed, and trained by Tom’s sons, who are on-site most days. This is not a franchise dispatching strangers in a van.
Our Windows & Doors Services in Burbank
Window Installation
New window installation in Burbank means working around mid-century framing that’s often out of square by a quarter inch or more. We shim, level, flash, and seal every opening so the window operates smoothly and stays watertight through winter rain and summer Santa Anas. Most Burbank installs take one to two days for a standard 8-to-12 window home. We haul away the old sashes and sills, and we don’t leave a mess on your lawn or your neighbor’s.
Door Installation
A front door in Burbank does double duty: curb appeal on a Magnolia Park bungalow, and security on a street that sees its share of foot traffic. We install entry doors, French doors, and solid-core interior doors with proper thresholds, weatherstripping, and hardware. If your door frame was installed when Eisenhower was president, chances are it’s settled; we square the rough opening before the new door goes in so it doesn’t bind in August.
Window Replacement
Replacing old aluminum or single-pane windows in Burbank is the single biggest upgrade you can make for summer comfort. Dual-pane, low-E glass cuts the heat gain that turns west-facing rooms into ovens after 4 p.m. We see homes all over the Rancho District and Hillside District where homeowners have been running the AC nonstop because their windows haven’t been touched since the 1960s. New glass changes that. Real fast.
Impact Windows & Doors
Impact-rated windows in Burbank aren’t just for hurricane zones. They add serious noise reduction, which matters when Hollywood Burbank Airport is a mile and a half away and commercial jets are climbing out over the 91505 corridor. They also meet current energy codes and add a layer of forced-entry resistance. We stock several impact product lines and can usually have Burbank orders measured, ordered, and installed within a few weeks.
Trusted Brands We Service in Burbank
We install and service Andersen and Marvin windows, along with impact-rated lines from PGT and similar premium manufacturers. You won’t find mystery brands off the back of a van on a Barrett & Sons job. When a Burbank customer needs a sash replaced or a locking mechanism repaired, we can typically source the part locally and get it done faster than a big-box store’s subcontractor ever would. The Windows & Doors side of our business carries the full weight of our 90-Day Done Right Promise: if something isn’t right after we finish, Tom comes back and makes it right. One call.
Common Windows & Doors Problems We See in Burbank Homes
- Heat-warped vinyl frames on west-facing walls. Burbank summers hit 100°F to 108°F, and cheap vinyl windows installed on the west side of a house will bow and bind within a few years. We replace them with properly rated frames that hold their shape.
- Original 1950s aluminum single-pane sliders. Half the homes in the 91506 and 91507 ZIP codes still have them. They conduct heat, rattle, and don’t seal. You’re paying for that in both comfort and utility bills.
- Sagging or sticking entry doors from foundation settling. Burbank’s post-war slab foundations shift over time. When the door frame moves, the door sticks. We re-hang and re-square the opening, or install a new pre-hung door if the frame is too far gone.
- Airport noise leaking through old window seals. Homes under the Burbank flight path, especially in the 91505 corridor, get a night-and-day difference from dual-pane or impact glass. The old aluminum frames simply don’t block low-frequency engine noise.

FAQs - Windows & Doors in Burbank
Window replacement in Burbank typically runs $4,500 to $15,000 for a full-home retrofit, with most single-story ranch homes falling in the $7,000 to $11,000 range. The variables are window count, size, frame material, and whether you opt for impact or standard dual-pane glass. Call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll give you a written line-item quote for your exact house, not a ballpark.
Yes. We serve all of Burbank, including 91505, 91506, 91507, and 91508, covering neighborhoods from Magnolia Park to the Rancho District, the Hillside District, and everything in between. If you’re off Glenoaks Boulevard, up near Brace Canyon Park, or tucked back on a street off Buena Vista, we’re already familiar with the block.
Yes. Impact-rated or laminated dual-pane windows are the most effective upgrade for homes in the 91505 corridor under the flight path. They cut low-frequency aircraft noise measurably, and we spec them specifically for Burbank homes where sound reduction is the primary goal. A free estimate will tell you what’s possible for your exact openings.
No. If we find something during the install that changes the scope, you get a written change order before any new work is done. The allowance that isn’t on paper is a surprise waiting for a date, and we don’t do surprises. The price we quote is the price you pay, in writing, every time.
We pull permits and arrange inspections on every eligible job, including window replacements that trigger Burbank’s energy code requirements, and any door opening that alters a structural wall. The permit inspector works for you, not for me, which is exactly why we like him looking over our work. It’s your name on the house, and it’s our name on the contract.
