Replacement windows in Shreveport, LA typically run $550 to $1,300 per window installed, so a whole house of ten usually lands near $6,000 to $13,000. This Old House's 2026 survey of 1,000 homeowners put the national average at $517 per installed window and $551 for a double hung, with premium made to order lines above that. Donnie Grubbs installs ProVia vinyl windows, built in the United States and measured to each opening, with our own crews, and has replaced windows in Louisiana homes since 1976.
If you are weighing replacement windows work in Shreveport, LA, the right number depends on the scope, the materials you choose, and the condition of what is there now. Below is what most local homeowners pay, what moves the price, and how we handle the job from inspection through cleanup.
Shreveport is the seat of Caddo Parish and by far the largest market we serve, with 187,593 residents at the 2020 census spread across roughly 90,295 housing units on the west bank of the Red River. That size means real variety street to street: the Highland and Broadmoor neighborhoods carry early and mid twentieth century homes with original windows and porches, while the newer subdivisions toward the south and west have 1980s and later brick homes with slabs that were poured for a future patio cover. Census ACS estimates put the citywide median year built at 1973 and owner occupancy at 54 percent, so most projects here are decided by the person living in the house, which usually means one walkthrough rather than an approval chain. NOAA's normals from Shreveport Regional Airport show a July average high of 94.3 degrees, an August high of 94.9, about 91 days a year at or above 90 degrees, and 51 inches of rain, so shade and bug control are the two things every outdoor room here has to solve. Shreveport is about 100 miles west of our West Monroe showroom along Interstate 20, so we group estimates and installs in Caddo Parish by the day, and it helps to plan on that drive time when you book. Permits for covers and enclosed rooms run through the city's building office, and the wind design requirements in the Louisiana code apply the same here as they do in Monroe. City permits come from the Division of Permits and Inspections at 505 Travis Street in Government Plaza, 318 673 6100, with applications filed through the mygovernmentonline.org portal, and we handle the filing and the inspections as part of the job. The variety in the housing stock is what shapes a Shreveport quote more than anything else. In Highland and Broadmoor the homes are early to mid twentieth century, often with wood trim, original windows and porches that were built before anyone planned for a patio cover, so the tie in and the flashing take real work. In the newer subdivisions south and west of town the slab was poured with the house and the fascia height is close to standard, which makes an attached cover a straightforward day of work. Two homes a mile apart can genuinely need different structures, which is why we measure rather than quote from a map.
The typical Shreveport home dates to around 1973 per Census data, roughly 53 years of Louisiana weather and daily use. There are roughly 90,295 housing units here with a median value near $178,100. Most of Shreveport went up in the postwar decades. The structure on these homes is usually sound, but venting, flashing, and insulation details are dated enough to be worth revisiting while the replacement windows work is already open and the access is already paid for. A large share of occupied homes here are rented, so scheduling and approvals often run through an owner or a property manager rather than the person who answers the door. We are used to that, and we keep both parties on the same email so nothing stalls. Values in Shreveport sit toward the lower end of the markets we serve, so the question is usually which option returns the most service life per dollar, and we will show you the point where spending more stops paying for itself. By housing count Shreveport is one of the larger markets we cover, with enough variation street to street that two homes a mile apart can need genuinely different work, which is why we measure rather than quote from a map. That local mix shapes how we scope and schedule replacement windows work here. Figures are U.S. Census Bureau American Community Survey estimates.

We are a local home improvement contractor and we stand behind every job. You are not handed off to a subcontractor. Every job follows the same disciplined process:
Old single pane and failed double pane windows let the afternoon sun cook rooms and push the air conditioner all summer, and in Shreveport, LA that is a long summer: NOAA normals show about 91 days a year at or above 90 degrees. ENERGY STAR Version 7.0 puts Shreveport, LA in the Southern climate zone, where the standard is written around blocking solar heat gain, with a U factor of 0.32 or lower and a solar heat gain coefficient of 0.23 or lower. Insulated low e glass with argon fill is how a window gets there. It also holds heat in on the few January nights that drop into the 30s. Donnie Grubbs installs ProVia windows with those glass packages, sealed at every opening for this climate.

Double hung, with both sashes tilting in for cleaning, is the most common replacement in Shreveport, LA.

Replacement windows in Shreveport, LA typically run $550 to $1,300 per window installed, so a whole house of ten usually 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. Count, style and glass package drive the number, and Donnie Grubbs gives you a free in home estimate with an exact price.
ProVia. ProVia windows are built in the United States, made to order for each opening, and backed by a transferable lifetime limited warranty that passes to one subsequent owner of the home. The Endure, Aeris and Aspect lines are ENERGY STAR certified. Donnie Grubbs has installed them in Shreveport, LA homes for years because they hold up in Louisiana humidity.
Yes, if the old ones are single pane or failed double pane. Insulated low e glass with argon fill cuts the solar heat coming through the glass, which is what drives cooling costs across the roughly 91 days a year that Shreveport, LA sits at or above 90 degrees per NOAA normals. ENERGY STAR Version 7.0 sets the Southern zone standard at a U factor of 0.32 or lower and a solar heat gain coefficient of 0.23 or lower, and a window that meets it is doing measurable work every afternoon.
Windows are built to order, which takes a few weeks after the estimate. Installation itself is usually one to two days for a whole house. Donnie Grubbs removes the old windows one opening at a time, sets and seals the new units, insulates the gap, caps the exterior trim and cleans up, so no room is left open to the weather.
Yes. Most of the homes we work on in Shreveport, LA are brick. A replacement window is measured to fit inside the existing opening, so the brick is not disturbed, and the exterior is finished with a clean cap or trim. Full frame replacement is only needed when the original frame has rotted.
Condensation or fog trapped between the panes, sashes that stick when it is humid or will not stay up, drafts you can feel, rooms that never cool down in the afternoon, rot in wood frames or sills, and single pane glass on a home built before the 1980s. Donnie Grubbs gives you a free assessment and an honest read on whether replacement is worth it.
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. Donnie Grubbs stands behind the installation on top of that.
The median Shreveport home was built around 1973 per Census American Community Survey data, so a large share of the housing stock is 53 or more years old. That is the age where replacement windows and the other big updates come due, and it is the work Donnie Grubbs does every week.
Shreveport is the seat of Caddo Parish and by far the largest market we serve, with 187,593 residents at the 2020 census spread across roughly 90,295 housing units on the west bank of the Red River. Donnie Grubbs plans around those specifics from the first visit.
A standard replacement window in Shreveport, Louisiana typically costs $550 to $1,300 installed for a vinyl double hung, $500 to $1,100 for a single hung or slider and $600 to $1,400 for a casement or awning, using the ranges on this page from 2026 national window cost guides, with arch, half round and other specialty shapes 25 to 50 percent above a standard size. The median Shreveport home was built about 1973 according to Census ACS estimates, so many of the city's roughly 90,295 housing units still carry original wood or early aluminum frames, and rotted sills or out of square openings add labor that moves a job toward the top of each range. Wider openings, triple pane glass and colored exterior frames push the price up, while a whole house order of ten or more windows usually lowers the per unit cost. Most whole house jobs finish in one to two working days, one opening at a time, and Donnie Grubbs does the installation with its own crews rather than subcontractors.
