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, nearly 99 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. Caddo Parish carries more weather than the Ouachita side of the state. From 2015 through 2024 NOAA's Storm Events Database lists 274 thunderstorm wind events, 101 hail reports, 29 tornadoes and 124 flash floods in the parish, with June the busiest month for wind at 53 events. The Shreveport Regional Airport station measured a 63 knot gust, about 72 miles per hour, on April 2, 2023, and 70 miles per hour on June 16, 2023, the same storm that produced an 81 mile per hour gust near Robson. Rain here comes in short, hard bursts: NOAA Atlas 14 puts a ten year storm at 0.715 inches in five minutes at the city's center, a rate of more than eight inches an hour, which is what the front edge of a cover and its downspouts actually have to carry. Shreveport's permit fees are written into the city code's schedule of permit and inspection fees. Residential repairs, alterations and renovations are charged $4.20 per $1,000 of contract value, rounded up to the next thousand with a $31.50 minimum, and the office wants a signed contract or an affidavit of the price with the application, so a $12,000 job comes to $50.40 on that line and a failed inspection adds $68.25. The city's permit guide exempts detached one story accessory structures of 200 square feet or less and small unattached decks from a building permit; those exemptions are written for detached structures, not for a roof tied into the house, and plan review checks drainage and flood hazard prevention along with the building code. Census ACS counts 61,488 of the city's 90,295 housing units as single family detached, about 68 percent, and the 1970s were the largest building decade with 19,075 homes, ahead of the 1960s at 15,854. Age is the thing to know before any window or trim work in Shreveport. The Census count of homes built before 1980 is 58,344, close to two thirds of the city, and the pre 1978 part of that stock falls under the EPA's Renovation, Repair and Painting rule, which requires a certified firm and trained workers for paid work that disturbs paint. Heating splits closer to even here than in the Twin Cities, 54 percent electric and 44 percent utility gas, so the payback on better glass depends more on the individual house. Historic neighborhoods add a review of their own. Shreveport's Historic Preservation Commission reviews any alteration, expansion or demolition within a designated historic district or landmark, and every Certificate of Appropriateness application is administered by the Metropolitan Planning Commission, so a window replacement on a house in one of those districts starts with the MPC rather than the permit counter.
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, when single pane and early aluminum windows were standard, so the comfort difference after replacement windows is usually the first thing people notice. 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 roughly 96 to 99 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.

Yes. Donnie Grubbs is a local, licensed and insured home improvement contractor, family owned in West Monroe since 1976, and BBB accredited with an A+ rating. Every window is installed by our own crews, not a subcontracted installer.
Double hung, with both sashes tilting in for cleaning, is the most common replacement in Shreveport, LA. Single hung and sliders give a cleaner look on wide openings, picture windows suit a view with no moving parts, casements and awnings crank open for ventilation, and arches and half rounds match original brick architecture. Donnie Grubbs shows you samples at the estimate.

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.

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.
Yes. Vinyl frames do not rot, warp or need repainting, which matters in a climate 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. Pair it with low e argon glass and the window handles both the heat and the moisture.
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. Donnie Grubbs installs ProVia entry doors and patio doors alongside replacement windows, measured and set by the same crew. Ask at the estimate and we price the doors on the same written quote.
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.
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.
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.
They can. The EPA's Renovation, Repair and Painting rule covers homes built before 1978 and requires anyone paid to disturb painted surfaces in them to be certified, with trained workers and lead safe work practices, and pulling old painted sashes, stops and trim disturbs paint. Census ACS data shows a majority of the homes in each North Louisiana market we serve were built before 1980, from about 51 percent in Bossier City to about 66 percent in Monroe, so the question comes up often. An insert window set into the existing frame of a brick home disturbs less painted material than a full frame replacement, but the rule applies to any painted surface, so raise it at the estimate if your home predates 1978.
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.
A sound window replacement quote in Shreveport, Louisiana prices each opening by style. The ranges on this page, drawn from 2026 national window cost guides, put a vinyl double hung at $550 to $1,300 installed, and a whole house of ten usually lands near $6,000 to $13,000. Ask for every opening to be measured on site, since replacement windows are measured to each opening and a written per opening list keeps the comparison honest. Home age drives the labor. The Census ACS median year built is 1973, and the Highland and Broadmoor neighborhoods hold early and mid twentieth century homes with wood trim and original windows, where rotted sills or out of square openings add labor and move a job toward the top of each range. Arches, half rounds and other specialty shapes run 25 to 50 percent above a standard size. The Census counts 58,344 Shreveport homes built before 1980, and paid work that disturbs paint on the pre 1978 part of that stock falls under the EPA's Renovation, Repair and Painting rule, which requires a certified firm and trained workers, so ask how the quote handles it. Get product and labor warranty terms in writing and confirm who does the installation; Donnie Grubbs installs ProVia replacement windows, backed by a lifetime limited warranty, with its own crews.
Donnie Grubbs is a Shreveport window replacement company that installs ProVia vinyl windows, made in the USA, with its own crews, at a typical $550 to $1,300 per window installed. When comparing companies, ask whether the crew that measures is the crew that installs, since every opening is measured on site and the order is built to those sizes. If the house sits in a designated historic district, ask whether the quote accounts for that review, because a window replacement there starts with a certificate of appropriateness administered by the Metropolitan Planning Commission rather than the permit counter. The median Shreveport home was built about 1973, according to Census ACS, so ask how a quote handles paint disturbed on pre 1978 homes under the EPA Renovation, Repair and Painting rule. Heavy storm rain makes sill and trim condition a main variable, because soft or rotted wood found when the old unit comes out adds repair labor and moves a job up its range, and arches, half rounds and other specialty shapes run 25 to 50 percent above a standard size. Heating here splits 54 percent electric and 44 percent utility gas, so the payback on better glass depends on the individual house. Request a written price for each opening.
