Single & Double Hung Windows in Thousand Oaks, CA
Single hung and double hung windows are the most common window styles in Thousand Oaks homes, and for good reason. Single hung windows have a fixed top sash and a bottom sash that slides up to open. Double hung windows let both the top and bottom sashes move, which means you can open the top for ventilation without giving up privacy or creating a hazard for young kids on the lower opening. If you’re in Newbury Park, Westlake Village, or Moorpark and your current hung windows are sticking, fogging, or letting drafts through, call Hale Windows Thousand Oaks at (805) 309-1848.
As a Window Installation specialist serving Thousand Oaks since 2009, we’ve replaced and repaired thousands of hung windows across the Conejo Valley. We install single and double hung units from professional-grade lines like PGT, CGI, and ViewLux, matching the right product to your home’s exposure, style, and budget. Every job gets a written price before we start, and every window is backed by our 365-Day Done Right Promise.
Key Takeaways
- Single hung windows cost roughly $380 – $780 per window installed in Thousand Oaks; double hung runs $450 – $950 depending on size, glass package, and frame material.
- Double hung windows offer better ventilation and easier cleaning because both sashes tilt in.
- We give you a written price before any work begins, and you know exactly who is coming to your door before the truck arrives.
- Hale has installed hung windows in Thousand Oaks since 2009, backed by a named 365-Day Done Right Promise.
When You Need Single & Double Hung Windows
Most Thousand Oaks homeowners don’t think about their windows until something goes wrong. These are the signs we see most often in neighborhoods like Lynn Ranch, Wildwood, and Dos Vientos:
- Sashes that stick or won’t stay open. Over time, the balance springs inside hung windows wear out. In the dry, hot summers we get in Thousand Oaks, older vinyl and wood frames can also warp slightly, making sashes bind.
- Fog or condensation between the panes. This means the insulated glass unit has lost its seal. You’re paying to heat or cool air that’s leaking through a dead window.
- Drafts you can feel in winter. When the Santa Ana winds hit the Conejo Valley, a poorly sealed hung window makes itself known fast. Rattling sashes and cold air near the frame are signs the weatherstripping has failed.
- Visible damage to the frame or sash. Termite damage, dry rot, or cracked vinyl can compromise the structural integrity of the window opening.
- Single-pane glass that heats up rooms. Older Thousand Oaks homes built in the 1960s and 1970s often still have single-pane aluminum hung windows. In August, those windows turn west-facing rooms into ovens.
- Noise from outside. If you live near the 101 or along Thousand Oaks Boulevard and you hear every car that passes, upgrading to a double hung window with laminated glass can make a significant difference.
Our Single & Double Hung Windows Process
We keep this simple. You’ll know the price, the person, and the plan before anything gets installed.
- You call (805) 309-1848. A live person answers, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. No voicemail, no callback queue. We listen to what’s going on with your windows and book a time that works for you.
- We send you the technician’s name and photo before the visit. This is our Threshold Standard. Every technician is background-checked, identity-verified, uniformed, and photo-badged. You’ll know exactly who is at the door before you open it.
- We measure and assess in person. Your technician checks the window opening, the frame condition, the exposure, and the surrounding wall. We look at whatever is actually going on, not just what the window is.
- You get a written price. Before any work starts, before any tool comes out, you have a line-item written quote in your hands. The price on that sheet is the price you pay. For real.
- We install and clean up. Our crew removes the old window, installs the new hung unit, insulates and seals the opening, and handles disposal of the old window. We leave the room cleaner than we found it.
- You’re covered by the 365-Day Done Right Promise. If the work is not right, we make it right. No argument needed. That’s the whole point of the promise.
Single & Double Hung Windows Pricing in Thousand Oaks
Hung window replacement in Thousand Oaks typically runs $380 – $780 per window for single hung and $450 – $950 per window for double hung, installed. These are honest ranges for quality vinyl or aluminum-clad units from brands we trust like PGT, CGI, and ViewLux, not bargain-basement builder stock.
What moves the number:
- Window size. A small bathroom window costs less than a 36-by-72 living room unit. That’s not a sales pitch, it’s arithmetic.
- Glass package. Basic dual-pane runs less. Low-E glass (a thin coating that blocks heat while letting light through) adds cost but pays back in lower cooling bills during Thousand Oaks summers. Laminated glass adds acoustic performance and costs more.
- Frame material. Vinyl is the most common and most affordable. Aluminum-clad wood is pricier but looks right on certain traditional homes in neighborhoods like Conejo Oaks.
- Number of windows. Replacing three windows is cheaper per window than replacing one, because mobilization and setup costs get spread out.
- Condition of the existing opening. If the old frame has rot or damage, we’ll need to address that before or during installation. We’ll show you on the written quote exactly what that line item covers.
We don’t do vague “it depends” pricing when we can avoid it. When you call (805) 309-1848, we’ll give you a free in-home estimate with a written price so you know exactly what you’re spending before you commit to anything.
Single Hung vs. Double Hung: Which One Is Right for Your Thousand Oaks Home?
We get this question constantly, and the answer depends on your house and how you live in it.
Single hung windows cost less. The top sash is fixed, so there’s less moving hardware to wear out. They’re a solid choice for first-floor windows where you don’t need to open the top, or for budget-conscious replacements in rental properties and secondary rooms. Most single hung windows we install come from PGT or CGI, and they carry the same 365-Day Done Right Promise as anything else we do.
Double hung windows cost about 15 – 20% more than single hung of the same size, but you get two things in return. First, both sashes tilt inward, which makes cleaning from inside your house simple, even on a second story. Second, you can open the top sash for ventilation while the bottom stays closed. That’s a real benefit in homes with young children or pets, and it helps with airflow in Thousand Oaks’ warm summer evenings when you’d rather not run the AC.
If you’re in an older home near the hills of Wildwood and the windows are original single-pane aluminum, we usually recommend double hung with low-E glass. You’ll see the difference in your cooling bill and you’ll feel the difference the first time the Santa Anas blow.
Brands We Install and Why They Matter
We don’t push one brand on every house. That’s how you end up with the wrong window in the wrong opening. Instead, we install from a set of professional-grade lines we’ve worked with long enough to know what holds up in Thousand Oaks conditions: PGT, CGI, ViewLux, CWS, ES Windows, ECO Window Systems, Mr-Glass, and Therma-Tru for doors.
For hung windows specifically, three brands come up most in our work here:
- PGT makes a rugged hung window that stands up to sun, wind, and temperature swings. If your home has significant western exposure, we often lean PGT for durability and warranty support.
- CGI builds impact-rated windows that we recommend for homes in fire-prone or high-wind areas around the Santa Monica Mountains foothills. Their hung windows also block sound better than standard units.
- ViewLux offers a vinyl hung window with a clean profile and strong energy ratings. For mid-century and contemporary homes around Thousand Oaks, ViewLux gives the look without breaking the budget.
We’ll show you the specific models and options during your estimate, along with the written pricing for each one. No pressure, no upselling. Just facts and numbers.
What Makes Hale Different from Other Thousand Oaks Window Companies
You can get a hung window from a lot of places. General contractors, big-box stores with subcontractor install teams, handyman services. Here’s how we’re different, stated plainly:
- 365-Day Done Right Promise. If the work is not right, we make it right. That’s not a slogan. It’s on every job we do, named and documented. If a repair or installation fails within a year, we come back and fix it. No argument, no charge.
- Written price before work begins. Always. Every job. You’ll have the final number in your hands before any tool comes out of the truck. The invoice matches the quote. We don’t play the “unexpected issue” game to pad the bill.
- The Threshold Standard. Every technician who comes to your home is background-checked, identity-verified, uniformed, and photo-badged. Before the visit, we send you their name and photo. You open the door knowing exactly who is standing there.
- 24/7 live phone support. A real person answers when you call, at any hour. Not an answering service, not a voicemail. Call (805) 309-1848 at 3 a.m. and a Hale person picks up.
- Product depth without the push. We install and service eight professional window and door lines. That means we can match the right product to your home instead of trying to sell you whatever’s in the warehouse.
Thousand Oaks-Specific Window Considerations
Hung windows in Thousand Oaks deal with specific conditions that someone installing in, say, Portland or Chicago doesn’t face. Here’s what we account for on every job here:
- Intense UV exposure. Thousand Oaks averages more than 280 sunny days per year. That UV load degrades cheap vinyl frames and breaks down window seals faster than you’d expect. We recommend hung windows with UV-stabilized vinyl or aluminum-clad frames, and glazing with low-E coatings that block a meaningful chunk of solar heat.
- Santa Ana wind events. Sustained winds of 30 – 50 mph with higher gusts hit Thousand Oaks regularly from September through January. Hung windows that aren’t properly shimmed and sealed will whistle, rattle, and leak air. Our installs get the frame squared, the sash aligned, and the weatherstripping seated correctly so they stay quiet and tight when the wind kicks up.
- Temperature swings. The Conejo Valley can swing from 45-degree winter nights to 95-degree summer afternoons. Vinyl frames expand and contract with heat. Quality hung windows from PGT and CGI are engineered for that movement, but cheap builder-grade units will warp and bind. We choose products built to handle the range.
- Fire zone proximity. Parts of Thousand Oaks sit against open space in the wildland-urban interface. If your home is in a designated fire hazard zone, we can steer you toward impact-rated or specific code-compliant options from brands like CGI that meet stricter requirements. We’ll check your property’s zone and discuss options before we quote.
- Neighborhood style. Conejo Oaks has different expectations than the tract homes in Newbury Park. We keep that in mind when we recommend frame colors, grid patterns, and materials, so the new windows look like they belong on the house, not like a patch.
How Much Does Single & Double Hung Window Replacement Cost in Thousand Oaks?
Single hung window replacement in Thousand Oaks generally costs $380 – $780 per window including installation. Double hung runs $450 – $950 per window. A full-house replacement of 10 double hung windows in an average 1,800-square-foot Conejo Valley home typically lands between $4,500 and $9,500 depending on size, glass, and brand choices.
Here’s a clearer breakdown by typical project scope:
- Small bathroom or hallway window (single hung): $350 – $520 installed.
- Standard 32-by-54 bedroom window (double hung, dual-pane, low-E): $480 – $720 installed.
- Large living room window (36-by-72 double hung, dual-pane, low-E): $680 – $980 installed.
- Full-frame replacement vs. insert. If the existing frame is sound, an insert install costs less. If the frame has rot or damage, a full-frame replacement runs 20 – 40% more but gives you a completely new, sealed opening.
These are real ranges based on what we’ve been quoting in Thousand Oaks since 2009. Your home’s specifics will move the number up or down, but you’ll have the exact figure in writing before we start. Call (805) 309-1848 for a free estimate.
FAQs – Single & Double Hung Windows
How much does it cost to replace a double hung window in Thousand Oaks?
Double hung window replacement in Thousand Oaks typically costs $450 – $950 per window installed, depending on size, glass package, and frame material. A standard 32-by-54 bedroom window with dual-pane low-E glass runs about $480 – $720 installed. The best way to get an exact number is to call (805) 309-1848 for a free in-home estimate with a written price.
Is it cheaper to repair or replace a hung window?
For a broken balance spring, worn weatherstripping, or a cracked sash, repair is almost always cheaper, typically $95 – $260 per window for most Thousand Oaks homes. If the insulated glass unit has failed (fog between the panes) or the frame itself is damaged, replacement is usually the better value. We’ll give you the written repair price and the replacement price side by side so you can decide with full information.
Can you install single or double hung windows the same day?
In many cases, yes. If we have the window in stock or can source it from a local distributor, same-day or next-day installation is available for standard sizes. Custom sizes and specialty glass take longer. Call (805) 309-1848 and we’ll tell you what’s realistic for the specific window you need.
What’s the difference between single hung and double hung windows?
Single hung windows have one movable sash (the bottom one) and a fixed top sash. Double hung windows have two independently moving sashes, so you can open the top, the bottom, or both. Double hung costs 15 – 20% more but offers better ventilation, easier cleaning (both sashes tilt inward), and is a safer choice for homes with young children.
Are double hung windows worth the extra cost in Thousand Oaks?
For most Thousand Oaks homeowners, yes. The ability to open the top sash for ventilation while keeping the bottom closed is valuable in our warm summers, and the tilt-in cleaning feature matters for second-story windows. If you’re on a tight budget, single hung windows with quality low-E glass are a solid choice for first-floor and utility areas. We’ll help you decide based on your specific home and comfort priorities.
Do you provide a written guarantee on hung window installation?
Yes. Every hung window we install in Thousand Oaks is covered by our 365-Day Done Right Promise in writing. If the work is not right within one year, we come back and make it right at no charge. Additionally, if a window repair fails, the second visit is free. You’ll have the guarantee documented before the job starts.

That’s how we’ve done it since 2009, and that’s how we’ll do it for your home.
