Fast, Reliable Windows & Doors Across North Hollywood
If you’re dealing with a window that won’t latch, a sliding door that jumps its track, or a front entry door that sticks every July when the Valley heat swells the frame, you’re not alone. Window replacement in North Hollywood runs $4,500-$15,000 for a typical 3-bedroom stucco home, and impact window installation runs $8,000-$25,000 depending on opening count and glass package. Barrett & Sons Construction handles both ends of that range and everything between. We work throughout 91601, 91615, 91616, and 91618, and we know exactly what 1950s wood framing and 1960s aluminum sliders do after sixty San Fernando Valley summers. Call (877) 610-1318 for a free estimate from Tom Barrett or one of his sons.
Why Barrett & Sons Construction Is North Hollywood’s Preferred Windows & Doors Company
Tom Barrett started Barrett & Sons Construction in 1998, and his sons run the crews that show up in North Hollywood today. That’s not marketing copy. When you call the office, a live person answers, and when a job is done, Tom’s name, address, and license number are on the paperwork you can look up before you sign anything.
North Hollywood homeowners tell us the same story again and again: a national outfit quoted one number over the phone, sent a crew nobody recognized, and handed over a final bill that didn’t match the first conversation. We do it differently. Every scope, every allowance, and every price change arrives as a written change order before a single piece of trim comes off. That’s the way Tom has run jobs since the first year, and it’s why so many of our North Hollywood calls start with “my neighbor on Radford said you did their windows.”
We also know the local building stock. The postwar single-family homes along the streets north of Magnolia Boulevard and the garden-apartment complexes in the 91601 corridor have very different window and door needs, and we don’t quote them the same way. Our Windows & Doors team pulls permits and gets inspections signed on every eligible job, because North Hollywood sits under one of the tightest LADBS permitting regimes in the Valley.
Our Windows & Doors Services in North Hollywood
Window Installation
Most North Hollywood homes built between 1950 and 1970 still carry their original single-pane windows, which is why summer afternoons feel like the walls are radiating heat. We install new construction and retrofit windows sized for the actual rough openings in these older stucco frames, not whatever the supply house had in stock. Whether it’s a picture window on a mid-century front elevation near Toluca Lake or a bank of casements on a Valley Glen-adjacent ranch, we measure, order, and install with the permit pulled.

Door Installation
Entry doors in North Hollywood take a beating from direct afternoon sun on west-facing frontages. We install pre-hung wood, fiberglass, and steel entry doors, and we re-hang doors that have sagged out of square as the house settled. If your front door scrapes the threshold every August and needs a shoulder to close in January, that’s a hinge and frame issue, not a door problem, and it’s fixable.

Window Replacement
Replacement windows in North Hollywood typically run $4,500-$15,000 for a full home, with the number driven by glass package, frame material, and whether the original openings need reframing. LA’s soft-story retrofit ordinance doesn’t directly touch single-family homes, but the same house-age realities apply: non-reinforced framing around window openings is common, and we address it during install rather than hiding it behind trim. Call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll walk the house, measure every opening, and put the number in writing.

Impact Windows & Doors
North Hollywood doesn’t sit in a hurricane zone, but impact-rated glazing earns its keep here anyway. It cuts the Valley’s heat-island effect noticeably in summer, drops outside noise from Burbank Boulevard and the 170, and gives you a glass package that won’t shatter into large shards if a tree limb or errant baseball finds it. Impact window installation runs $8,000-$25,000 on most North Hollywood homes.

Trusted Brands We Service in North Hollywood
We install Andersen and Marvin window lines because our North Hollywood customers can look them up before signing a contract, and because we can get replacement hardware and sashes fast when a crank or balance wears out. We also work with Techo-Bloc and Cambridge products on adjacent hardscape work when a new sliding door opens onto a patio that needs redoing, which ties into our Home Additions & ADU in North Hollywood services. If you’re replacing a back slider and the concrete step is cracked and heaving, we can handle the whole opening, including the paver transition. Our crews stock common local replacement parts so a window mechanism repair on a Monday doesn’t become a three-week waiting game.
Common Windows & Doors Problems We See in North Hollywood Homes
- Sticking and swelling in summer: The Valley’s 105°F-plus heat cycles swell wood frames and warp painted sashes on 1950s-60s stucco homes. It’s the single most common complaint we hear on streets east of Vineland Avenue.
- Aluminum slider tracks failing on garden apartments: The 1960s-70s garden-apartment complexes throughout 91601 and 91615 carry original aluminum sliders with worn rollers and bent tracks. We replace the track and carriage, not just the door panel.
- Fogged double-pane glass from failed seals: Dry Valley heat accelerates seal failure on older dual-pane units, leaving a haze you can’t clean off. The fix is glass replacement, not window replacement, in most cases.
- Seismic drift knocking doors out of square: North Hollywood sits near the Northridge fault system, and decades of small movement have left many entry doors and interior doors slightly out of plumb. We re-hang and re-shim rather than forcing a new door into a racked opening.
Pricing for Windows & Doors in North Hollywood, CA
Window replacement in North Hollywood runs $4,500-$15,000 for a typical 3-bedroom home, with impact-rated glass pushing the upper end. For interior upgrades to match, see our Kitchen Remodeling in North Hollywood. Door installation alone typically lands between $800 and $3,000 for a single pre-hung entry door, depending on the door itself and whether the jamb needs reframing. Impact window and door packages for whole-home retrofits run $8,000-$25,000. The honest variables are opening count, glass package, frame material, and how much of the original 1950s framing is still sound. We quote fixed prices, not allowances that float, and every change arrives in writing before work continues. Call (877) 610-1318 to schedule a free estimate.

FAQs - Windows & Doors in North Hollywood
We schedule window and door work in North Hollywood within a few days for standard replacements and can often get a crew out sooner for a broken entry door or exposed opening. Call (877) 610-1318 and a live person will give you a real date, not a promise we can’t keep.
Yes. We work the full North Hollywood area including 91601, 91615, 91616, and 91618, from the NoHo Arts District proper up through the streets north of Oxnard and the neighborhoods bordering Valley Glen and Burbank. If you’re unsure whether your block is in our service area, call and ask.
Window replacement in North Hollywood runs $4,500-$15,000 for a typical single-family home, which is inline with Studio City and Burbank. The difference usually comes down to the age of the framing and whether the original 1950s openings need reinforcement. We’ll quote the actual number after measuring, not before seeing the house.
Not without a written change order that you approve first. If we open a wall and find rotted framing around a window, you’ll see the new number in writing before we touch it. That’s how Barrett & Sons has run jobs since 1998. The allowance that isn’t on paper is a surprise waiting for a date.
Every window and door job carries our 90-Day Done Right Promise. If something isn’t done right, Tom Barrett comes back and makes it right, one call. That’s written on the contract, not buried in fine print.
Contact Barrett & Sons Construction at (877) 610-1318 to schedule your free window or door estimate in North Hollywood. A live person answers, Tom or one of his sons will walk the job, and every number goes in writing before any work begins.
