How Much Does Impact Window Installation Cost in Woodland Hills?
Impact window installation in Woodland Hills typically runs between $900 and $1,900 per window installed, with most single-family homes totaling $8,000 to $24,000 for a full replacement project. Homes in the hillside communities south of Ventura Boulevard, where larger openings and harder-to-reach second stories are common, often land at the higher end of that range. For a home with standard double-pane impact windows, a mid-range budget of $1,200 to $1,500 per opening is a realistic planning number in this market.
What you pay depends on the window’s size, the frame material, the impact rating you choose, and whether the existing frame needs retrofit work or full replacement. We’ll break all of that down below with real numbers so you know what to expect before you pick up the phone.
Impact Window Installation Cost Breakdown (2026)
Here’s what we’re seeing across Woodland Hills in 2026, from single-window swaps to whole-house jobs. These are installed prices, including the window, installation labor, haul-away of the old unit, and the written warranty.
| Line Item | Typical Cost Range (Installed) | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Single impact window (standard size, aluminum frame, single-hung) | $900 – $1,300 | Most common entry point; covers a 36″ x 48″ opening in a standard bedroom or living area |
| Single impact window (vinyl frame, double-hung) | $1,000 – $1,500 | Vinyl runs slightly higher than aluminum but offers better thermal performance for Woodland Hills summers |
| Single impact window (large picture window or slider, 60″+) | $1,600 – $2,400 | Bigger glass area means a heavier laminated unit and more labor to set it |
| Impact sliding glass door (6 ft., including frame) | $3,200 – $5,500 | Full frame replacement; retrofit on existing track runs lower |
| Impact French door (paired, 6 ft. opening) | $4,500 – $7,000 | Depends on hinge hardware and whether sidelites are included |
| Whole-house retrofit (10-15 openings, aluminum, standard sizes) | $9,000 – $18,000 | Price per opening drops with volume; 10-openings job often lands around $1,100-$1,300 per window |
| Whole-house full frame replacement (10-15 openings, vinyl or aluminum) | $14,000 – $28,000 | Full frame means pulling the old frame, resealing the rough opening, and re-trimming interior |
| High-end whole-house (PGT or CGI, large custom openings, wood-look interior) | $25,000 – $45,000+ | Custom sizes, premium glazing packages, and second-story access push this up |
| Permit fees (City of Los Angeles building permit, where required) | $300 – $1,200 | Retrofit jobs that don’t alter the opening may not need one; full frame replacements generally do |
These ranges reflect what we’ve quoted and installed across Woodland Hills over the past 24 months, from the flats near Warner Center up to the hills off Mulholland. Your exact number comes down to a few variables we’ll cover next, but the table should give you a working budget before you make any decisions.
One note on how we price: you get a written quote before any work starts. Not a verbal ballpark, not a range that moves after the fact. A fixed number on paper, with the scope itemized. If the number changes, that’s on us, not you.
What Affects Impact Window Installation Pricing in Woodland Hills
The difference between a $900 window and a $1,900 window usually isn’t one thing. It’s a stack of factors, and most of them are specific to your house, your street, and your local building rules.
- Retrofit vs. full frame replacement. If your existing frames are square, dry, and structurally sound, a retrofit install fits the new impact window inside the existing frame. It costs less, takes less time, and leaves your interior trim intact. If the frames are rotted, out of square, or you’re changing window sizes, you need a full frame replacement, which pulls the old frame to the studs and rebuilds the rough opening. In pockets of Woodland Hills south of the Boulevard where homes date to the 1960s and 1970s, we regularly see original wood frames that have decades of sun and Santa Ana wind exposure, which pushes more jobs toward full replacement.
- Impact rating and product line. Miami-Dade rated products, which meet the most stringent wind and missile standards, cost more than products rated only for large-missile impact or basic wind zones. We install Miami-Dade approved lines from PGT, CGI, CWS, and ES Windows for homeowners who want maximum protection, and those run 15-25% higher than standard impact units from ECO Window Systems or Mr-Glass. The right answer depends on where your home sits and what your insurance carrier is asking for.
- Frame material. Aluminum is the workhorse in Southern California and runs at the lowest price point. Vinyl costs a bit more and gives you better thermal breaks, which matters if you’re trying to cut cooling costs during July and August when the Valley heat settles in. Wood-clad or specialty finishes from lines like ViewLux push the price up further, mostly because the material costs more and the lead times run longer.
- Glass package. A standard clear impact laminate meets code. Adding low-E glass (a thin coating that blocks heat while letting light through), or a tinted or reflective layer for south- and west-facing windows, adds $150 to $400 per window. In Woodland Hills, where afternoon sun coming over the Santa Monica Mountains hammers west-facing walls for six months a year, the low-E upgrade usually pays for itself in reduced AC load within a few seasons.
- Access and second-story work. Homes in the hills south of Ventura Boulevard often have steeper grades, retaining walls, and limited staging areas. Scaffolding, lift equipment, or extra crew time to move windows up a hillside adds a few hundred dollars per window on average. Tight side-yard clearances, mature landscaping, and balconies that sit directly over the room below all push labor costs up in ways a flat-lot home in the flats never sees.
- Number of windows in the job. One window is a service call. Fifteen windows is a production job. The per-window labor number drops when a crew can set ten units in a day versus three. That’s why a single retrofit at $1,100 can become $900 per window when we’re doing the whole house.
How to Save on Impact Window Installation
Impact windows are not the place to hunt for the lowest bid, but that doesn’t mean you can’t be smart about the spend. Here’s what actually moves the needle in this market.
Do the whole house at once
We already touched on this, but it’s the single biggest lever. Mobilization, permitting, dump fees, and crew time all amortize across more openings. If you know you’ll eventually replace everything, doing it in one shot from the start saves $150 to $300 per window versus phasing it out in batches of two or three.
Choose retrofit where the frames are still good
If we inspect the existing frames and they’re dry and true, a retrofit saves you 20-30% per opening versus full replacement. The finished result is the same impact glass and the same seal performance, just without the added cost of tearing out and rebuilding the perimeter. Our crew will be honest with you about which way your house wants to go, because there’s no upside for us in selling framing work a house doesn’t need.
Prioritize the windows that matter most
If the budget has a ceiling, protect the exposures that carry the most risk and the most heat gain first. In Woodland Hills, that’s typically west- and south-facing glass, plus any openings on the side of the house that faces the Santa Susana Pass. North-facing windows, usually back bedrooms and bathrooms, can wait. We’ll give you a phased plan with the written quote that makes sense, so you’re not paying for a whole-house project in a single season if you don’t want to.
Ask about glass upgrades selectively
You don’t need low-E on every window. A clear impact laminate on shaded north windows, and the upgraded glass package on sun-facing openings, saves $200 to $400 per window on the ones that don’t need it, without sacrificing the protection story anywhere.

FAQs – Impact Window Installation Cost
How much does impact window installation cost per window in Woodland Hills?
Most impact windows in Woodland Hills cost $900 to $1,900 per window installed, depending on size, frame material, and rating. A standard 36″ x 48″ aluminum single-hung retrofit runs $900 to $1,300, while larger picture windows or full-frame replacements with premium glass packages run higher. Call (831) 618-2053 for an exact quote, and we’ll put the number in writing before any work starts.
Is it cheaper to repair or replace an impact window?
If the frame is solid and the issue is a failed seal, a broken balance, or damaged hardware, a repair runs $150 to $400 and is almost always the cheaper move. If the glass itself is cracked or the frame has rot, repair isn’t viable because impact glass can’t be re-laminated on-site, and replacement becomes the only safe option. Either way, call us at (831) 618-2053, and we’ll tell you straight which side of that line you’re on.
How much does a full-house impact window replacement cost in Woodland Hills?
A full-house retrofit for a typical 3-bedroom home with 10 to 15 windows runs $9,000 to $18,000 installed. A full-frame replacement on the same house, where we pull and reset every frame, runs $14,000 to $28,000. The final number depends on the product line you pick from our eight brands, including PGT, CGI, CWS, ES Windows, ECO Window Systems, Mr-Glass, Therma-Tru, and ViewLux, and how much second-story or hillside access work your property requires.
Can you install impact windows the same day?
A single retrofit window can typically be installed the same day we arrive, usually in two to three hours. Whole-house projects run two to five days depending on scope and access. If you need one window done quickly, call (831) 618-2053 in the morning, and we’ll tell you over the phone what our schedule looks like this week.
Do impact windows require a permit in Woodland Hills?
Retrofit jobs that keep the existing frame and opening size often require no permit. Full-frame replacements, or any job that alters the opening, generally require a Los Angeles building permit, which costs $300 to $1,200 depending on the scope. We handle the permit process as part of the written quote, so you’re not standing in line at the Building Department or guessing at the paperwork.
The Hale Windows & Doors Difference
We started Hale Windows & Doors in 2009 because we kept hearing the same thing from homeowners: they wanted a window company that would tell them exactly who was showing up to their house, and exactly what it would cost, before anything got installed. That’s what we’ve built, and it’s why we do a few things differently from the general contractors and big-box installers working this market.
You know who’s at the door before you open it
Every technician we send to your home is background-checked, identity-verified, uniformed, and photo-badged. Before the visit, we send you their name and photo so you can see exactly who’s coming. If the person at the door doesn’t match the photo on your phone, don’t open it. That’s the Threshold Standard, and it’s built for the homeowner who’s often home alone, the parent with young kids, and the older homeowner who shouldn’t have to guess.
The price is in your hands before the work starts
Not an estimate “subject to change.” Not a verbal number that shifts once the crew starts pulling trim. A written price, itemized, delivered before any work begins. If we find underlying rot or frame issues mid-job, we stop and talk to you. You never get a surprise on the invoice.
The 365-Day Done Right Promise
Every job we install is covered by a documented guarantee: if it’s not right, we make it right, within 365 days, no argument. On repairs, that means a written guarantee too, and if the repair fails, the second visit is free. The promise is named, written, and stamped on every job, because “we’ll take care of it” without a date on it isn’t a guarantee. It’s a hope.
Product depth, not one-brand sales pushes
We install and service impact windows and doors from eight professional lines: PGT, CGI, CWS, ES Windows, ECO Window Systems, Mr-Glass, Therma-Tru, and ViewLux. That matters because the right product for a single-story ranch in the flats is not the same as the right product for a three-level hillside home that catches full wind off the pass. We’ll show you the trade-offs in glass, framing, and rating across the lines, and let you decide with real information.
