Replacement windows typically run $550 to $1,300 per window installed in 2026, so a whole house of ten lands near $6,000 to $13,000. This Old House's 2026 survey of 1,000 homeowners found a national average of $517 per installed window, $551 for a double hung and $609 for triple pane, with premium made to order lines above that. Donnie Grubbs installs ProVia vinyl windows, built in the United States, made to order for each opening, and backed by a lifetime limited warranty that transfers once to the next owner of the home.

ENERGY STAR Version 7.0 divides the country into climate zones, and North Louisiana sits in the Southern zone, where the standard is written around blocking solar heat gain: a U factor of 0.32 or lower and a solar heat gain coefficient of 0.23 or lower. A U factor measures how much heat conducts through the whole window; the solar heat gain coefficient measures how much of the sun's energy comes through the glass. In a place with about 91 days a year at or above 90 degrees per NOAA normals, the second number is the one that shows up on a cooling bill. Insulated double pane glass with a low e coating and argon fill is how a window meets it. ProVia's Endure, Aeris and Aspect lines are ENERGY STAR certified.
| Window style | Typical installed price |
|---|---|
| Vinyl double hung | $550 to $1,300 |
| Single hung or slider | $500 to $1,100 |
| Casement or awning | $600 to $1,400 |
| Picture window | $550 to $1,300 |
| Arch, half round and specialty shapes | 25 to 50 percent above a standard size |
Count matters as much as style: per window pricing improves across a whole house because setup, delivery and cleanup are spread over the job. Donnie Grubbs measures every opening and prices the whole house on one written quote.
ProVia backs its vinyl windows with a lifetime limited warranty for the original owner that transfers once to the next owner of the home. Frames, sashes and hardware are covered for life, and the insulated glass seal is covered for 20 years against fogging between the panes. Donnie Grubbs stands behind the installation on top of that, which matters because a poorly sealed install lets heat and moisture in and can void the glass coverage.
Most homes in Monroe, West Monroe, Shreveport and Bossier City are brick, and a replacement window measured to fit inside the existing opening leaves the brick untouched. That insert install is the default. Full frame replacement, where the old frame comes out and new trim goes in, is the right call when the original wood frame or sill has rotted, which we see most often on older homes in Monroe's Garden District and Shreveport's Highland and Broadmoor neighborhoods. The estimate tells you which you need, opening by opening.
Yes. Vinyl frames do not rot, warp or need repainting, which matters with 50 inches or more of rain a year and long humid summers. ProVia's Endure line uses its SunShield vinyl compound for that reason.
Windows are built to order, which takes a few weeks after the estimate. Installation is usually one to two days for a whole house, one opening at a time so no room is left open to the weather.
Yes. ProVia entry doors and patio doors are installed by the same crew and priced on the same written quote as the windows.
Yes. ProVia vinyl replacement windows hold up well in Louisiana humidity because vinyl frames absorb no moisture, so they will not rot, swell or need repainting through 50 inches or more of rain a year, and ProVia's Endure line uses its SunShield vinyl compound for that reason. ProVia backs the frames, sashes and hardware with a lifetime limited warranty that transfers once to the next owner, with the insulated glass seal covered for 20 years against fogging. Condensation is the real humidity complaint: an insulated double pane unit with a low e coating and argon fill keeps the inside pane warmer than single pane glass, so indoor moisture is far less likely to fog the window on a muggy morning, and the same glass package is how a window meets the ENERGY STAR Version 7.0 Southern zone criteria of a U factor of 0.32 or lower and a solar heat gain coefficient of 0.23 or lower. Installed, a vinyl double hung typically runs $550 to $1,300 and a casement or awning $600 to $1,400 per 2026 national window cost guides, and Donnie Grubbs seals every opening with its own crews.
