Recent Window Replacement Project in Pasadena
Many homes across Los Angeles, especially in older neighborhoods like Pasadena, Glendale, and Hancock Park, still have original single-pane windows that leak energy, let in street noise, and look dated. When homeowners delay replacement, they face climbing cooling costs and a noticeable hit to curb appeal.
Recently, we were called to handle a full window replacement for a 1920s Craftsman home in Pasadena where the homeowners were preparing to put the property on the market within 90 days.
The Problem
The home had 18 original single-pane wood windows with rotting frames and failing weatherstripping. Summer cooling costs had climbed steadily, several rooms were unbearably hot in the afternoons, and the homeowners' real estate agent flagged the windows as a likely sticking point for buyers. They needed Title 24-compliant windows that preserved the home's historic Craftsman character.
The Solution
Our team carried out a full in-home consultation and recommended Milgard Tuscany series windows with custom grille patterns to match the original 1920s design. As an authorized Milgard dealer, we coordinated the order, and our licensed in-house team handled removal, installation, and finishing, start to finish, no subcontractors.
The Result
Completed in 3 days. The home now has 18 brand-new energy-efficient windows that look architecturally accurate to the period. The homeowners reported a noticeable drop in cooling costs and a more comfortable home overall. The property sold within 11 days of listing, with the buyer's inspection specifically calling out the new windows as a positive note.
