How Much Does Window Replacement Cost in Los Angeles?
Published LA prices, from whole-house jobs down to a single vinyl window. Prices also shift by season, so check the best time to replace windows in Los Angeles before you book.
$19,356
Average whole-house window replacement in Los Angeles (Angi).
$16,359 to $22,377
What most LA homeowners pay for a whole house (Angi).
$383 to $800
Per standard vinyl replacement window in LA, with most at $450 to $525 (Modernize).
Homewyse’s September 2026 national estimate for a dual-pane, low-E vinyl replacement window is $662 to $1,012 installed. That figure leaves out permits, stucco or drywall repair and the 13% to 22% a general contractor adds, so LA quotes land higher.
What Did Real Los Angeles Jobs Cost?
Home Depot lists recent window replacement projects in Los Angeles on its services page, by ZIP code. Each total below is divided by the window count.
| ZIP and area | Windows | Brand and series | Total | Per window |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 90003, South LA | 16 | Milgard Styleline and Tuscany | $18,786 | $1,174 |
| 90025, West LA | 5 | Milgard Tuscany | $12,301 | $2,460 |
| 90031, Lincoln Heights | 5 | Simonton 6200 | $5,621 | $1,124 |
| 90026, Echo Park | 2 | Andersen 100 | $3,446 | $1,723 |
| 90034, Palms | 2 | Milgard Styleline | $2,348 | $1,174 |
| 90022, East LA | 1 | Milgard Styleline | $1,304 | $1,304 |
The page doesn’t list window sizes or install methods, so treat these as reference points, not a price list. Notice the pattern, though: the 16-window job cost the same per window as the 2-window job, while the 5-window Tuscany job cost about twice as much per window. Series and size move the price more than count.
What Do Different Types of Windows Cost?
Each row links to the page with the full breakdown for that window.
| Window | Price per window | Source | Details |
|---|---|---|---|
| Vinyl, unit only | $100 to $575 | Angi | Vinyl windows |
| Retrofit vinyl, installed | $500 to $1,100 | Smart Window Company, Torrance | Retrofit windows |
| Fiberglass, installed | $500 to $1,500 | HomeGuide | Fiberglass windows |
| Wood, standard, installed | $600 to $1,000 | HomeGuide | Wood windows |
| Aluminum | $125 to $1,000 | Angi | Aluminum windows |
| Steel | $700 to $2,000 | Angi | Steel windows |
| Sliding window | $300 to $1,000 | Angi | Sliding windows |
| Double-hung, installed | $325 to $1,275 | Angi | Double-hung windows |
| Casement | $260 to $950 | Angi | Casement windows |
| Soundproof window | $300 to $1,500 | Angi | Soundproof windows |
| Egress window in LA, installed | $2,829 to $11,050 | Angi | Egress windows |
| New window cut into a wall | About $5,800 average | Angi | Window installation |
“Unit only” prices leave out labor. Adding a window or an egress opening costs more than a swap because of the framing, header and stucco work around it.
What Do Window Repairs and Glass Cost?
A repair or new glass costs a fraction of a new window when the frame is sound.
| Job | Price | Source | Details |
|---|---|---|---|
| Window repair, LA average | $284 ($172 to $417) | Angi | Window repair |
| Glass only, per window | $181 to $414 | Angi | Window glass replacement |
| Foggy dual-pane glass unit | $300 to $900 | Angi | Foggy window repair |
| Slider track repair | $130 to $500 | Angi, This Old House | Window track repair |
| Window screen | $147 to $523 | Angi | Screen replacement |
| Board-up, California average | $360 per window | Angi | Emergency window repair |
| Historic window restoration | $300 to $550 | Angi | Historic restoration |
What Raises the Price in Los Angeles?
The same window can cost very different amounts on two LA streets. These are the costs to look for on a quote.
01
Full-frame instead of retrofit
Tearing out the old frame means cutting and patching stucco and paint. See retrofit vs full-frame.
02
Second story or hard access
Angi lists $100 to $300 more in labor for upper floor and hard to reach windows.
03
Special glass
Laminated glass for airport noise zones near LAX and Van Nuys, and tempered glass near doors, tubs and stairs, cost more than standard dual-pane.
04
Lead-safe work
Homes built before 1978 need lead-safe methods, and restoration shops cite $75 to $250 more per window for containment.
05
Historic review
Pasadena landmark districts, Long Beach historic districts and LA’s HPOZs call for matching profiles and wood or steel, which cost more.
06
Dark colors and custom shapes
Black or bronze frames, arches and odd sizes all add to the unit price.
Permits. Every full window replacement in the areas covered here needs one. See window replacement permits in Los Angeles.
How Can You Lower the Price?
✓
Claim the LADWP rebate
LADWP pays $2 per square foot for ENERGY STAR windows with a final permit, if you’re an LADWP customer.
✓
Retrofit where frames are sound
It skips stucco work.
✓
Group the windows
One visit shares setup, the permit and the trip across every window.
✓
Pick standard sizes and colors
White or tan frames in standard sizes cost less than custom colors and sizes.
✓
Phase by room
Start with the hottest or noisiest rooms and do the rest later.
✓
Compare quotes per window
Line up the same brand, series, glass and install method on each quote.
How Do You Know a Quote Is Fair?
Compare quotes per window, with the same brand, series, glass and install method on each. The Contractors State License Board tells homeowners to be wary of any bid far lower than the others, since a low number can leave out the permit, stucco patching or haul-away. On the high side, a quote of $3,000 or more for a standard retrofit slider is worth questioning.
California caps the down payment on a home improvement job at $1,000 or 10% of the price, whichever is less. See our process page for what every quote should list.
