Single & Double Hung Windows in Ventura, CA
Single and double hung windows are the most common window style in Ventura homes, and for good reason: they’re simple, they’re familiar, and they fit almost any architectural style from Pierpont bungalows to Midtown ranch houses. At Juniper Windows Ventura, we install single hung windows (the bottom sash moves, the top sash stays fixed) and double hung windows (both sashes slide up and down, and both tilt inward for cleaning) in homes across Ventura, Oxnard, Camarillo, and Ojai. A typical single hung window replacement for a standard bedroom opening runs $450 to $850 installed, while a double hung version of the same opening runs $550 to $1,100 installed, depending on glass package, frame material, and whether you’re upgrading to impact-rated glass for coastal wind exposure.
We’re part of the Window Installation in Ventura team at Juniper, and every job we quote gets a written price before any work starts, backed by our 365-Day Done Right Promise: if the installation isn’t right, we make it right, parts and labor, for a full year. Call us at (559) 314-1305 if you’re ready to get a price. Or keep reading if you want to understand what you’re paying for and why some Ventura homes need a more serious glass package than others.
When You Need Single & Double Hung Windows
Most homeowners know the feeling: a window that won’t stay up without a stick propping it, a frame that rattles every time a truck rolls past, or glass that fogs between the panes because the seal gave out. Here are the specific scenarios where replacing your hung windows makes sense, and what we’ve seen across Ventura neighborhoods:
- Your sashes are painted shut or stuck. Older wood windows in Midtown and College Area homes built before 1980 often get painted over by previous owners. A double hung replacement with tilt-in sashes means you never deal with a stuck window again.
- You feel a draft when the Santa Ana winds kick up. Single pane aluminum frames transfer heat and cold directly into the room. In East Ventura, where the wind hits harder, this is one of the most common complaints we hear.
- Your energy bill spikes in summer and winter. Ventura’s coastal climate means mild temperatures most of the year, but late summer inland heat waves and cool marine-layer mornings still push older windows past their limits.
- You want easier cleaning on a second story. Double hung windows tilt inward from both the top and bottom, so you can clean the exterior glass from inside the house. No ladder, no reaching over the roofline.
- Your windows fog between the glass panes. That haze is a failed seal in the insulating glass unit. The glass needs to be replaced, and if the frames are 25-plus years old, the whole window usually makes more sense.
- You’re in a coastal zone and want impact-rated glass. Homes west of the 101 in Pierpont and Ventura Keys face higher wind exposure. Impact-rated hung windows built with laminated glass resist wind-borne debris without shattering.
Our Single & Double Hung Windows Process
We’ve refined our Window Installation service since 2001, and the process below is how every hung window job goes, from first call to final invoice:
- You call or book online. A live person answers, 24/7. No voicemail maze. We ask a few questions about your home, how many windows you’re considering, and whether you have any problem windows today.
- We schedule a measurement visit. A background-checked, uniformed technician comes to your home, measures every opening precisely, and checks for rot, sagging headers, or framing issues that could affect the install.
- You get a written quote, locked. We bring samples from our product lines including PGT, ViewLux, and CGI, so you can see and feel the hardware. Then we write the price down. That number does not change at the door.
- We order your windows and schedule install. Standard sizes typically arrive in 2 to 4 weeks. Custom sizes, especially impact-rated PGT or CGI units, can run 6 to 8 weeks depending on glass availability.
- Installation day. Our installers remove the old windows, address any minor framing repairs discovered during tear-out, set and level each new unit, insulate around the frame, and seal both the interior and exterior.
- Final walkthrough and digital invoice. You get before-and-after photos of every window. We walk the job with you, make sure each sash operates smoothly, and email you a digital invoice you can pay from a link.
Every install is covered by the 365-Day Done Right Promise in writing. If something isn’t right within a year, call us. We fix it. That’s the whole promise.
Single & Double Hung Windows Pricing in Ventura
Hung window pricing in Ventura runs a wide range because glass options, frame materials, and installation complexity vary significantly. Here’s what we tell homeowners when they ask for a ballpark:
| Window Type | Standard Vinyl | Impact-Rated (PGT or CGI) |
|---|---|---|
| Single Hung, 36″ x 48″ | $450 – $650 installed | $800 – $1,200 installed |
| Double Hung, 36″ x 48″ | $550 – $800 installed | $950 – $1,400 installed |
| Double Hung, 48″ x 60″ | $700 – $1,100 installed | $1,300 – $2,000 installed |
| Custom Size or Bay/Bow Conversion | $1,200 – $3,000+ installed | $2,000 – $4,500+ installed |
What affects the final price:
- Frame material. Vinyl is the most common and cost-effective. Fiberglass and aluminum-clad wood up the price but change the look and longevity.
- Glass package. Basic double-pane clear glass is the floor. Low-E coatings, argon gas fill, and impact-rated laminated glass each add cost, and each has a specific use case in Ventura’s coastal climate.
- U-factor and SHGC ratings. For Ventura’s mild climate, a U-factor around 0.30 or lower works well. Impact-rated units from PGT and CGI typically land in the 0.27 to 0.30 range with Low-E and argon.
- Number of windows. More windows means a lower per-unit install cost, since setup, tear-out, and disposal get spread across more openings.
- Access and framing condition. Second-story windows, stucco exterior cuts, rotted sills, and out-of-square openings all add labor time. We identify these during the measurement visit so they never surprise you later.
Every quote includes the window, installation, interior and exterior trim, insulation, disposal of the old unit, and the 365-Day Done Right Promise. We don’t add a line item at the end for “miscellaneous.” The price we write down is the price you pay.
Why Hung Windows Make Sense for Ventura Homes
Ventura’s climate is forgiving compared to Fresno or Bakersfield, but it has its own demands. The marine layer brings moisture in the morning. The Santa Anas bring dry, hot wind in the fall. Older single pane hung windows, especially the aluminum frame units common in 1960s and 70s tract housing east of Mills Road, don’t do well with either. For some homes, we also install Awning & Hopper Windows where the design fits. Frames corrode near the salt air west of the freeway. Sashes warp in the dry heat spells. And the original seals on double pane units from the 1990s have mostly failed by now.
Replacing hung windows with modern vinyl double hung units solves the obvious problems and a few less obvious ones. The tilt-in sashes make cleaning a two-story Midtown craftsman dramatically safer: you clean both sides of the glass from inside the room, no ladder against the stucco. The locking mechanisms on new double hung windows are far more secure than the old crescent locks on original windows. And the tighter seal reduces dust intrusion, which matters when the winds pick up and push fine grit through every gap.
Product Lines We Install
We carry double and single hung windows from several manufacturers, plus specialty styles like 3-Panel Sliding (3-Lite Roller) Windows, each with a specific strength:
- PGT. Florida-based, and serious about impact ratings. PGT’s WinGuard line is our go-to recommendation for homes in Pierpont, Ventura Keys, and any property west of Harbor Boulevard where wind speeds run higher. Their laminated glass is built to resist wind-borne debris without shattering, which matters when a patio chair becomes a projectile in a 60-mph gust.
- ViewLux. A good middle ground for inland Ventura homes that want a meaningful upgrade over basic vinyl but don’t need full impact ratings. Their double hung units come with narrow sightlines, meaning the frame is thinner and you get more glass area in the same opening.
- CGI. Another impact-rated option, often specified for coastal remodels where the homeowner wants a specific aesthetic. We stock samples of both PGT and CGI so you can compare hardware feel and glass tint side by side.
We don’t lock you into one brand. We show you options, explain the trade-offs in plain language, and let you decide based on price, performance, and how the window actually feels when you open and close it.
Sightlines, U-Factor, and Other Words Worth Knowing
You’ll hear these terms when you’re comparing hung windows, and they’re simpler than they sound:
- Sightline. The width of the frame and sash you see when looking at the window from inside the house. Thinner sightlines mean more visible glass and less frame. Vinyl and aluminum frames have different profiles, and within vinyl, higher-end lines like ViewLux use narrower profiles.
- U-factor. How well the window resists heat transfer. Lower is better. A 0.30 U-factor is a solid single pane replacement target for Ventura. If you’re in an older Midtown home with single pane originals, you’ll notice the difference immediately.
- Low-E coating. A microscopic metallic layer on the glass that reflects heat while letting visible light pass. In Ventura, Low-E on the south and west facing windows keeps rooms noticeably cooler in the afternoon.
- Impact-rated glass. Laminated glass built to resist wind-borne debris without shattering. Two pieces of glass bonded to a plastic interlayer. If something hits it, the glass cracks but the window stays intact. Required for some coastal remodeling permits, and worth considering even where not required.
If any of this is new to you, that’s normal. Most homeowners replace windows once, maybe twice, in a lifetime. Our job is to give you the facts and a written price, then let you choose. No pressure, no upsell shuffle.

FAQs – Single & Double Hung Windows
What’s the difference between single hung and double hung windows?
In a single hung window, only the bottom sash moves. In a double hung window, both sashes slide up and down independently, and both tilt inward for cleaning. Double hung windows cost $100 to $300 more per opening on average but make sense for second-story rooms where cleaning exterior glass from outside is impractical.
How much does it cost to replace a hung window in Ventura?
A standard size single hung vinyl replacement in Ventura runs $450 to $850 installed, and a double hung version runs $550 to $1,100 installed. Impact-rated units from PGT or CGI add 40% to 60% to those numbers. Call (559) 314-1305 for an exact quote, free of charge.
Can you replace my hung windows in one day?
Yes, for most single-story homes with up to 8 to 10 standard openings, our crew installs in one day. Larger jobs, second-story access, stucco exterior work, or custom sizes can extend to two or three days. We’ll tell you the timeline in your written quote before any work starts.
Do I need impact-rated hung windows if I live inland in Ventura?
No. Impact-rated glass is most relevant for properties west of Highway 101, especially in Pierpont, Ventura Keys, and along the harbor front where wind speeds run higher. Inland homes in Midtown, College Area, and East Ventura typically do well with a standard Low-E double pane from ViewLux. We’ll show you both options and you decide.
Is it cheaper to repair a hung window or replace it?
If the issue is a broken sash cord or a worn balance, repair is cheaper and worth doing. If the glass seal has failed, the frame is corroded, or the window is over 25 years old, replacement is almost always the better financial decision. We’ll tell you straight which path makes sense for your specific window, even if that means we don’t sell you a new unit.
