Why Santa Monica Homeowners Choose TruePane Windows & Doors
Santa Monica homeowners call us because we quote the job in writing and stand behind the work for 90 days with our Done Right Promise. It’s not a verbal assurance. It’s the Keystone Standard: both manufacturer warranty layers registered in writing, with durations stated, before our truck leaves your driveway. If your warranty ever becomes an issue, you won’t be digging through a drawer of receipts and calling a regional call center.
We’ve installed replacement windows in Ocean Park and hung custom doors in Sunset Park, and our technicians treat your home like they’d treat a family member’s house. They’re background-checked and uniformed, and they measure every opening twice before any glass is ordered. We also keep a live person on the phone 24/7, so if a lock seizes on a rented condo near the Third Street Promenade at an inconvenient hour, you’ll reach a person, not a voicemail tree.
Windows & Doors Services We Offer in Santa Monica
Window Installation
We install new-construction and retrofit windows in Santa Monica’s older bungalows and newer condos alike. Every opening gets measured twice, and we specify the right flashing and sealant for the coastal exposure. Learn more about our Window Installation in Santa Monica.
Door Installation
From wood entry doors that fit a 1920s Craftsman to modern glass sliders on a Mid-Century apartment, we install doors that close square and lock true. We also handle threshold and jamb repair when salt air has done its work. Learn more about our Door Installation in Santa Monica.
Window Replacement
If your single-pane windows rattle when the Santa Monica winds pick up or fog when the fog doesn’t lift, we can replace them with dual-pane glass that actually insulates. We’ll match the style to your home’s era. Learn more about our Window Replacement in Santa Monica.
Impact Windows & Doors
Impact-rated glass makes sense anywhere the Pacific sends storm-driven debris against your openings. We install systems from PGT and CGI that meet the coastal wind-load requirements and keep the salt outside where it belongs.
Energy-Efficient Windows
Santa Monica’s mild weather doesn’t mean your windows are efficient. Low-E glass and proper weatherstripping keep the damp out and hold the interior temperature steadier than 1960s aluminum sliders ever did.
Sliding & Patio Doors
We replace worn rollers, straighten bent tracks, and install new sliding doors that glide with one hand, even in the salt air. We also do full patio door replacements when the frame has corroded beyond saving.
Glass Railing Systems
For balconies and rooftop decks common in Santa Monica’s newer buildings, we install tempered glass railing systems with stainless or marine-grade hardware. The view stays open and the hardware stays rust-free.
Custom Windows & Doors
When the opening is not a stock size, which happens often in 1920s-1940s homes, we order custom units built to the exact frame dimension. We work with more than a dozen manufacturer lines to get the right fit.
Neighborhoods We Serve in Santa Monica
Our technicians work throughout Santa Monica, from the apartment buildings near the pier to the quieter streets of Sunset Park. Most estimates get scheduled within the week, and same-week installation is common for standard replacements.

Why Santa Monica’s Climate & Housing Affect Windows & Doors
Santa Monica’s marine layer pushes moisture into wood frames and hardware year-round. Frames swell and stick, aluminum tracks form a crust of white oxidation, and the salt from the ocean accelerates it all. A window or door that would hold up for 20 years in Culver City can seize within 8 to 10 years a few blocks from the beach. That’s why we specify marine-grade hardware and corrosion-resistant finishes on nearly every Santa Monica replacement, even when the ocean isn’t visible from the front step.
A lot of the housing stock here is original 1920s-1940s Spanish Colonial and Craftsman construction with single-pane wood windows. North of Wilshire and through Sunset Park, you’ll find these details everywhere. Then there’s the dense stripe of 1960s-1970s apartment buildings with aluminum sliding windows and patio doors that have been in direct contact with salt air for five decades. Our techs regularly find corroded aluminum frames fused to their tracks, especially in older rental properties governed by the city’s rent-control ordinance, which has led many landlords to defer replacement work far longer than they would have inland. We handle those half-day demo jobs carefully and quote them honestly before work starts.
Pricing for Windows & Doors in Santa Monica
Window replacement in Santa Monica typically falls between $650 and $1,800 per window depending on size, material, and glass package. Entry door replacement with a proper coastal sealant job commonly ranges from $1,200 to $4,500, and sliding patio doors run $2,000 to $7,000 installed. These are honest ranges, not teaser numbers. If you need a repair rather than a full replacement, repairs routinely start at a few hundred dollars, and we offer a free written repair estimate. Seniors and veterans get a permanent 5% discount on every job. For an exact written quote, call (888) 635-0804.

FAQs About Windows & Doors in Santa Monica
Window replacement in Santa Monica typically costs between $650 and $1,800 per window installed, with the range driven by frame material, glass type, and opening size. Call (888) 635-0804 for an exact written quote; estimates are free.
Not always, but many Santa Monica condo and apartment buildings require impact-rated glass when the opening faces the prevailing winds off the Pacific. We quote the code-compliant option side by side with standard glass so you know exactly what you’re paying for.
No. We quote the complete job in writing before work begins, and if we find hidden rot or seized frames during the demo, we stop and walk you through the exact added cost before touching another thing. No surprises on the bill, ever.
Most single-window replacements finish in one visit, usually within half a day. A full home of windows typically takes one to two days. Salt-corrosion jobs on old aluminum sliders can take longer, and we’ll tell you that during the estimate.
When Santa Monica’s building department requires a permit for the scope of work, we pull it and pass the inspection. For simple like-for-like replacements where no permit is required, we handle the paperwork accordingly and stay compliant with local codes.
If your windows or doors are failing in Santa Monica’s salt air, call (888) 635-0804 for a free estimate. We’ll measure, quote, and install to a standard that holds up where the ocean works against everything.

What Santa Monica Customers Say
"French doors to the patio, custom size because this house was built in 1961 and nothing is standard. Measured twice, three weeks to fabricate like they warned, and the install day they laid runners over my floors without being asked."
- Marie S."Our bay window had rotted at the sill and two other outfits wanted to talk us into a flat picture window instead. TruePane rebuilt the opening and matched the original look. Neighbors have knocked on the door about it."
- Gene A."Two entry doors. Showed up when they said, second day was a half day like they said, and the painter they recommended confirmed the frames were dead plumb. The financing was explained in actual dollars, not a brochure."
- Janet R.
