If you own a home in Lakewood, you’re likely living in a house built between 1950 and 1954, which means your window rough openings were cut to the same handful of dimensions as thousands of other homes in the city. That’s actually an advantage when it comes to replacement work, because a seasoned installer knows what to expect before the first measurement is taken. What’s harder to predict is what the salt air off Long Beach Harbor has done to the original aluminum frames over seven decades. We serve homeowners across the 90711 zip code and know this housing stock well. Call (888) 635-0804 and a live person answers, every time.

Why Lakewood Homeowners Choose TruePane Windows & Doors
Dale Kessler founded TruePane in 2008 because he was tired of seeing out-of-true installs and voided warranties passed off as acceptable work. More than years of glazing craft runs through this company, and it shows in how our technicians work. We’re an authorized installer for more than a dozen manufacturer lines, including PGT, CGI, and ES Windows, and we quote those lines side by side on paper so you see exactly what you’re buying, not what’s convenient for us to sell.
We serve homeowners from the Mayfair neighborhood to the Carson Street corridor, and out to the tract homes east of Lakewood Boulevard. Our background-checked, uniformed technicians show up when they say they’ll show up. Every job gets the Done Right Promise: if it’s not done right, we make it right. No paperwork fights, no fine print that covers neither. That’s the standard on the first visit and the baseline for every callback.
Windows & Doors Services We Offer in Lakewood
Window Installation
New window installation in Lakewood means careful work in stucco walls where the original rough openings have settled over 70 years. We measure every opening twice and flashing is set to keep water out of the wall cavity, not just the room. Learn more about our Window Installation in Lakewood.
Door Installation
Entry doors and interior doors on Lakewood ranch homes often have frames that have swelled and shifted with the marine humidity. We set doors square and adjust thresholds so they close cleanly in July and January alike. Learn more about our Door Installation in Lakewood.
Window Replacement
Replacing original single-pane aluminum windows is the most common job we do in Lakewood, and we’ve done enough of them to know the rough opening before we arrive. But we still measure twice, because no two 70-year-old stucco openings are identical. Learn more about our Window Replacement in Lakewood.
Impact Windows & Doors
Salt air isn’t the only thing that comes off the harbor; strong coastal winds do too. Impact Windows & Doors in Lakewood from manufacturers like PGT and CGI give homeowners protection along with a quieter interior.
Energy-Efficient Windows
Lakewood’s marine layer keeps temperatures moderate but humidity high, which means the right glass package matters as much for moisture control as for cooling bills. We quote Energy-Efficient Windows in Lakewood with low-E and double-pane options, with the numbers in front of you.
Sliding & Patio Doors
Original sliding doors on 1950s ranches often bind and stick after decades of exposure. We replace them with Sliding & Patio Doors in Lakewood that glide, seal, and lock properly.
Glass Railing Systems
For homeowners updating patios, balconies, or pool areas, we install Glass Railing Systems in Lakewood that meet California code and hold up to coastal air.
Custom Windows & Doors
When a standard size won’t fit, we work with manufacturers including ES Windows to build units to the actual opening, not the nearest catalog dimension. Custom doesn’t mean slow; it just means right.

Why Lakewood’s Climate & Housing Affect Windows & Doors
Lakewood sits about 5 to 7 miles inland from Long Beach Harbor, close enough that marine air arrives daily and carries salt with it. That salt accelerates oxidation on aluminum frames, leaving the telltale orange-streaked corrosion you see on west- and south-facing sill channels. It also pits door thresholds faster than you’d see in drier parts of LA County. The persistent marine layer keeps indoor humidity elevated, which swells wood door frames and degrades weatherstripping sooner than expected. This is not a generic coastal condition; it’s specific to how close Lakewood sits to the Port of Long Beach and the prevailing breeze pattern.
The housing stock compounds the challenge. Lakewood was built as one of America’s first master-planned tract cities, with nearly every home raised between 1950 and 1954 to a small number of floor plans. The same jalousie window units appear in original bathrooms and utility rooms across the city. The same single-pane aluminum sliders grace the same ranch house rear walls. When we replace windows here, we’re usually working on the same house, just a different street. That repetition means we know the common failure points, but it also means we’ve learned to budget time for the corrosion and frame settling that make every job slightly different from the last one.
Pricing for Windows & Doors in Lakewood
Window replacement in Lakewood typically runs $600 to $1,300 per window installed, depending on size, material, and whether the opening needs frame repair. Entry door installation ranges from $900 to $2,500, with sliding patio doors between $1,200 and $3,500. Impact-rated windows from manufacturers like PGT and CGI cost more, generally 25 to 40 percent above standard units. The condition of your original stucco opening matters; if we find corrosion damage, we’ll show it to you before adding a penny to the estimate. Our quotes are line-item and fixed, no surprise charges. Seniors and veterans receive a permanent 5 percent discount. Call (888) 635-0804 for a free estimate.

FAQs About Windows & Doors in Lakewood
Window replacement in Lakewood typically costs between $600 and $1,300 per window installed, with impact-rated units running higher. The final number depends on window size, frame material, glass package, and the condition of your existing stucco opening. Call (888) 635-0804 for an exact quote, estimates are free.
Yes, jalousie window replacement is common across Lakewood because so many original 1950s bathrooms and utility rooms still have these louvered units. We measure the existing opening and order a custom replacement rather than forcing a standard size into an opening that was never standard. Call (888) 635-0804 to schedule a look at yours.
Yes, we replace windows in stucco homes regularly throughout Lakewood, and we take care to flash and patch the surrounding stucco so the exterior looks finished, not patched. The key is cutting the rough opening carefully and sealing the gap before trim goes on. We’ll walk you through the process during the estimate.
Most single-window replacements take a few hours once materials arrive. A full-house window package on a Lakewood ranch home usually takes one to two days. Entry door installation is typically a half-day. We’ll give you a written timeline before work starts and we stand behind it.
No. Our pricing is fixed once we write the estimate, and we don’t add change orders without showing you exactly what changed and why. That’s part of the square deal, upfront pricing with no surprises on the bill. If we open a wall and find hidden damage, we’ll stop, show you, and get your approval before moving forward.

What Lakewood Customers Say
"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."Impact windows on the whole house. They handled the permit, the inspection, and gave me a folder with every approval number for the insurance company. My windstorm premium dropped enough to notice."
- Bill T."Whole-house window replacement at 71 years old is not something you want to do twice. Dale walked the house himself for the quote. Crew was the same three men all four days, and the foreman knew every window by room."
- Pat and Ray L.
