Altadena's craftsman, post-war housing stock shapes how we approach every wood window replacement project here. The all-in pricing band for Altadena is $1,400–$2,700 — reflecting the value-tier (0.95× baseline) labor and logistics costs for this market. For historic homes in Pasadena, Los Feliz, or Highland Park, vinyl is often the wrong answer — not because of performance, but because HPOZ design boards require that visible profiles match the original. LA County Building & Safety runs 10–14 days — one of the faster offices in our area — so material lead time, not permit timing, is usually what sets your schedule. This market also involves fire-zone 2 — all handled by Red Stag as part of the project, at no extra charge.
Clad-wood is appropriate in fire-zone locations when wood interior is required by the homeowner or architectural spec. Andersen and Marvin clad-wood with WUI-rated glazing on fire-exposed elevations is the correct combination. The aluminum exterior handles fire-zone exposure; real wood interior satisfies the aesthetic requirement. Fire-zone glazing schedule included in every permit set.
Unincorporated LA County jurisdiction. Active fire-zone rebuild market post-Eaton fire. Craftsman and post-war bungalow stock.

The answer to the last question is always yes — we haul everything away same day. For the all-in pricing band of $1,400–$2,700, you get labor, materials, permit, Title 24 documentation, flashing, interior and exterior finish work, and a lifetime install warranty. Nothing is added later.
