Window replacement in Woodland Hills, CA typically costs between $650 and $1,850 per window including installation, with most full-home projects of 8 – 12 windows landing between $7,800 and $18,500 in 2026.

We’re Hale Windows Woodland Hills, and we’ve been replacing windows in this community since 2009. Owner Spencer Odell leads our team, and we put a written price in your hands before any work starts, so the quote you get is the price you pay. No surprise line items on the invoice.

Window Replacement Cost Breakdown (2026)

Here is what homeowners in Woodland Hills are paying for window replacement in 2026, broken down by window type, frame material, and glass package. These are installed prices that include removal of the old window, proper flashing and sealing, and haul-away.

Those numbers include labor, trim, insulation, flashing, and disposal of the old window. What moves the price up or down from there is usually one of three things: the condition of the opening once the old window comes out, whether the home requires retrofitting into stucco or a full new-construction frame, and the glass package you choose for the specific exposure.

Homes in Woodland Hills south of Ventura Boulevard in the flatlands and homes up in the hills east of Topanga Canyon Boulevard handle the sun very differently. A west-facing wall in the Valley flat with no shade can run 15 – 20 degrees hotter in summer than a north-facing wall up near Mulholland. That means the glass spec matters more here than it does in a mild coastal climate eight miles away.

We install and service window lines from PGT, CGI, CWS, ES Windows, ECO Window Systems, Mr-Glass, Therma-Tru, and ViewLux. That gives us room to match a product to your actual exposure, stucco condition, and budget, instead of pushing a single brand on every house. Spencer Odell and our team will walk you through the trade-offs honestly.

What Affects Window Replacement Pricing in Woodland Hills

Every house on a Woodland Hills street has its own set of conditions. Here are the factors that move your number up or down most.

• Frame material. Vinyl is the workhorse at $650 – $950 per window. Fiberglass and composite run more because they hold their shape better under direct Valley heat. Wood-clad is the most expensive and needs the most maintenance, but it is often required for architectural compatibility in older Woodland Hills neighborhoods like the streets around Serrania Park.
• Glass package. Standard double-pane glass with low-E (a thin coating that blocks heat while letting light through) is the baseline. Upgrading to triple-pane, laminated glass for noise, or impact-rated glass for wind and debris protection pushes the per-window cost up by 30 – 70 percent. On a street with constant traffic noise from Topanga Canyon Boulevard or Ventura Boulevard, that laminated upgrade delivers real value.
• Stucco retrofitting versus full frame-out. Most Woodland Hills homes have stucco exteriors. A retrofit install keeps the existing frame and fits the new window into the opening, which is faster and less expensive. A full frame-out replacement tears everything down to the studs, which adds $200 – $400 per window but reveals any hidden water damage or framing issues before they get worse.
• Window size and shape. Odd-sized windows, arches, circles, and oversized picture windows are custom-ordered and carry a measurable price premium. A 5-foot-by-5-foot fixed picture window costs more than two standard double-hungs combined.
• Second-story access. Replacing upstairs windows requires ladder or scaffold work, which adds $75 – $150 per window in labor depending on reach and clearance around the exterior.
• Weatherization scope. Older Woodland Hills homes, particularly 1950s and 1960s construction with original framing, often need additional sealing or minor frame repair once the old window comes out. We photograph and document any findings and put the price in writing before proceeding, so there is no conversation about surprise charges after the fact.

What You Get for the Price

Window Replacement is a decision most homeowners make once every 20 to 30 years. That means the total price matters, but so does what is behind it. Here is what every Hale Windows Woodland Hills quote includes.

• A written price before any work starts. Our estimate is a line-item dollar figure, not a range that can drift. You approve it, we do the work, and the invoice matches the estimate.
• The 365-Day Done Right Promise. If the work is not right, Hale makes it right. That is the entire promise, and it is stamped on every job. No argument, no claim process to navigate, no phone tree.
• The Threshold Standard. Every technician we send is background-checked, identity-verified, uniformed, and photo-badged. Before the truck pulls up, you get the name and photo of the person coming to your door. You never open the door to a stranger you are not expecting.
• Written guarantees on materials and labor. The product warranty covers the window. Our workmanship guarantee covers the installation. If a repair we made fails, the second visit is free.

That last point matters financially. A window that leaks after a bad install costs you another round of labor somewhere down the line. Our guarantee means that second round is on us.

Window Cost by Project Type

Most Woodland Hills homeowners do not replace one window at a time. Here is what common project scopes cost.

• Single standard window replacement: $650 – $1,200 installed, depending on material and glass package.
• 3 – 5 window retrofit project (bedrooms, common rooms): $2,100 – $6,000 total.
• 8 – 12 window full-home replacement: $7,800 – $18,500 total for mid-range vinyl or fiberglass.
• 15+ window whole-home project with premium materials: $16,000 – $40,000+, depending on size, access, and glass spec.
• Front elevation package (update only street-facing windows): $3,500 – $9,000 for 4 – 7 windows, popular for sellers preparing a house for market.

If you are weighing replacement against repair on a window that still operates but has deteriorated seals or hardware, see our home page for an overview of what we cover and how our repair guarantee works. The economics usually favor replacement when the total repair cost approaches 50 percent of a new window’s price, but the real answer depends on the window’s condition.

How to Save on Window Replacement

You do not need to buy the cheapest window on the market to replace your windows without overspending. Here is how we tell our own neighbors in Woodland Hills to approach it.

• Stage the project by exposure. Replace the south- and west-facing windows first; those take the most heat and do the most work. North-facing windows, which see far less direct sun here, can often be deferred with a standard glass package.
• Bundle rooms. Combining all bedroom windows into one visit reduces trip fees and setup time. Labor efficiency is real savings, not a gimmick.
• Do not over-spend on glass you do not need. Impact-rated glass makes sense on hillside homes that face strong Santa Ana wind channels. For a single-story interior street with good shade, a quality low-E double-pane is often the correct and less expensive call.
• Keep existing trim where possible. Interior and exterior trim in good shape can often remain in place on a retrofit, saving $75 – $150 per opening in material and finish work.
• Get a written, itemized estimate before comparing. Prices that look lower on paper are sometimes missing line items for flashing, disposal, or trim. A full written estimate is the only way to compare numbers that mean the same thing.

We offer free estimates. Call (831) 618-2053 and we will send someone who is background-checked and pre-announced by name and photo to walk your property and give you a number in writing. There is no obligation and no pressure.

FAQs – Window Replacement Cost

How much does it cost to replace one window in Woodland Hills?

A single standard-size vinyl window costs $650 to $950 installed. A premium fiberglass or wood-clad window with upgraded glass runs $1,100 to $2,300. A large picture window or bay assembly can run $2,500 to $5,500. The simplest way to get an exact number is to call (831) 618-2053 for a free written estimate. You’ll have a dollar figure before any decision.

Is it cheaper to replace all windows at once?

Yes. Replacing 8 – 12 windows in one project costs $7,800 to $18,500, which is about 10 – 20 percent less per window than doing them one at a time due to consolidated labor, equipment, and logistics. If your budget only allows part of the house, we will help you prioritize by exposure and condition.

How long does window replacement take in Woodland Hills?

A standard retrofit window replacement takes 45 – 90 minutes per window on the day of install. A full-home project of 8 – 12 windows is usually completed in one to two working days. Custom sizes or impact-rated glass may add lead time for ordering. Call (831) 618-2053 and we will give you a realistic timeline based on the product line you choose.

What does the 365-Day Done Right Promise cover?

The 365-Day Done Right Promise covers the workmanship on every job Hale Windows Woodland Hills completes. If the work is not right within 365 days, we make it right. That means no arguing, no deductions, and no fine print. It is a named, documented guarantee on every project, alongside written guarantees on every repair.

Do I need a permit to replace windows in Woodland Hills?

In most cases, replacing an existing window with a same-size retrofit unit does not require a permit through the City of Los Angeles Department of Building and Safety. Altering the rough opening size, adding new openings, or doing a full frame-out on structural walls can trigger permitting requirements. We will tell you during the estimate if your project needs one and handle the paperwork as part of the written quote.

Can I get a written price before committing?

Yes. Every estimate from Hale Windows Woodland Hills is a written line-item price, not a verbal ballpark. You see exactly what you are paying for, including materials, labor, flashing, sealing, and disposal. Call (831) 618-2053 to schedule a free estimate.
