Fast, Reliable Windows & Doors Across Los Angeles
Window replacement in Los Angeles typically runs $5,310-$17,700 depending on style, material, and whether you’re in a 1920s Craftsman in Highland Park or a 1960s dingbat in the Valley. Door installation averages $4,720-$11,800 for quality pre-hung entries, and impact-rated windows for hillside fire zones start around $9,440. If you’re in Los Angeles and your windows are original to a pre-1978 build, odds are good they’re single-pane, seismically loose, and costing you more on cooling than you realize. Call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll come look at what you’ve got, free.
Why Barrett & Sons Construction Is Los Angeles’s Preferred Windows & Doors Company
The permit inspector works for you, not for me. That is why we like him, and that’s why every eligible window and door job we take in Los Angeles gets permitted and inspected before we call it done. Tom Barrett founded this company in 1998, and his sons run the crews. When you hire us for Windows & Doors work, you’re getting a name that’s on the truck, not a franchise dispatching strangers.
We work all over Los Angeles, from Koreatown walk-ups to hillside lots in Echo Park where the Hillside Ordinance adds grading and drainage requirements on top of standard window permits. That local knowledge matters. A window installed wrong on a soft-story apartment building can become a shear-wall problem. We know the difference because we’ve done the retrofits. Reviews from Los Angeles homeowners mention the same things: the written change orders, the crew showing up when we said they would, and a live person answering the phone at (877) 610-1318.
Our Windows & Doors Services in Los Angeles
Window Installation
New window installation across Los Angeles usually means working around stucco exteriors from the 1960s, wood siding from the 1920s, or post-war ranch framing in the Valley. We set every window with proper flashing and seismic anchoring so it doesn’t rattle loose in the next Northridge-sized shaker. We also carry Andersen and Marvin product lines, so you can look up exactly what’s going into your walls.

Door Installation
Front door installation in Los Angeles runs $4,720-$11,800. That covers a solid pre-hung entry, hardware, threshold, and trim. If your door is on a soft-story building inside the city’s Mandatory Seismic Retrofit Ordinance zone, we coordinate the door work with the structural scope so nothing gets double-punched. One permit, one crew, one written scope.

Window Replacement
Replacement windows in Los Angeles make the biggest single difference on summer cooling bills, especially in neighborhoods without mature tree canopy like parts of the Valley. We remove the old sashes, inspect the rough opening for dry rot or termite damage, and install dual-pane Low-E units that meet Title 24 energy requirements. Most replacements go in within one day per room.

Impact Windows & Doors
For homes in Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zones (Bel Air, Tarzana, the Palisades), impact-rated windows are not an upgrade; they’re code. California’s WUI requirements call for ember-resistant assemblies and tempered glazing that won’t shatter from heat exposure. Impact window installation in Los Angeles starts around $9,440 and goes up based on openings. We pull the Fire Department sign-offs and get the inspection scheduled before you have to chase anyone.

Common Windows & Doors Problems We See in Los Angeles Homes
- Fogged or failed dual-pane seals: LA’s temperature swings between coastal marine layer mornings and 95-degree Valley afternoons stress window seals hard. Once the argon leaks out and condensation forms between panes, the energy performance is gone and the sash needs replacement, not a wipe-down.
- Seismic drift on older openings: In pre-1978 wood-frame buildings (very common in Koreatown and Silver Lake), years of small tremors shift rough openings out of square. A new window installed without re-squaring the framing will bind, leak, or crack the glass within a season.
- Soft-story pressure on storefront and entry doors: Dingbat apartment buildings with tuck-under parking put enormous lateral load on ground-floor door assemblies. If the building is Tier 1 retrofit-listed, the door frame may need steel reinforcement before a new door goes in. We coordinate that in-house.
- Dry rot at hillside sills: Homes along the Hollywood Hills and Santa Monica Mountains get hit with wind-driven rain in winter, then months of zero moisture. Wood sills and door thresholds rot at the bottom edge where water pools against stucco. We replace the framing, not just cover it with caulk.
Pricing for Windows & Doors in Los Angeles, CA
- Window Installation: $5,310-$11,800 (labor and materials, standard sizing)
- Door Installation: $4,720-$11,800 (exterior pre-hung entry, hardware included)

What moves the number in Los Angeles: stucco thickness (older LA stucco can be 7/8″ or more, which slows cutting and adds labor), hillside access (if we’re carrying sashes up 40 exterior steps in Echo Park, that’s labor), and whether the opening needs structural corrections. We give you a written line-item quote before any work starts. No allowance that is not on paper is a surprise waiting for a date. Call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll walk the house with you free.
