Replacement Window Costs

Numerous factors influence the cost of a new window—including the brand, the quality, the material used, the style, and the size. Without an estimate from a contractor, you won’t be able to determine an exact cost, but you can still create a rough budget based on average prices. Don’t forget to add the cost of installation for each window.

Calculating the Cost of Replacement Windows

Let’s take 10 windows as an example. Assume you’ve chosen a moderately priced style of window at $500. That’s $5,000 for 10 windows. Depending on where you live, you then need to add around $100 – $170 per window for installation costs. That’s at least an additional $1,000, so the total cost for the ten windows would be $6,000. 

Types of Replacement Windows and The Cost

Double Hung Windows Prices

Double-hung windows have two vertically hung sashes. Both sashes are functional, so the window can be opened from the top or the bottom. An average vinyl double-hung window costs from $420 to $640.

Single Hung Windows Prices

Single-hung windows have two vertically hung sashes, but only the bottom sash moves. A single hung window typically costs between $150 and $400 per window.

Sliding Window Prices

Sliding windows have two or three glass panels. The design varies significantly between brands. Sliding windows cost from around $400 but installation costs are high.

Bay and Bow Window Prices

Bay windows are made up of angled windows that extend beyond the flat wall. Bow windows are comprised of three or more identically sized windows arranged in a curve that again protrude beyond the wall. The cost of these windows varies between manufacturers and will depend on size, design, and how difficult they are to install

Arched Window Prices

Arched windows with rounded tops add an architectural style element to your home. Most arched windows are fixed and do not open. The cost of arched windows ranges from around $400 each.

Skylight and Storm Window Prices

If you want to increase the amount of natural light in your home, a skylight window is a perfect solution. Skylight window costs start at around $900.

Storm windows give an extra layer of protection and are great for places that experience a lot of bad weather. Exterior storm windows cost from around $200.

Picture Window Prices

Picture windows are typically large and do not open. They cost from around $300 each.

Casement Windows Prices

Casement windows open by swinging up or out to the side. They range in price from $250 per window.

Window Frame Materials

In general, homeowners have four different window materials to choose from. Vinyl, wood, fiberglass, and aluminum.

Vinyl Windows

The popularity of vinyl windows stems from their durability and affordability. Homeowners love them because they are long-lasting and easy to maintain.

Wood Windows

Wood windows are popular primarily for their appearance. Wood is a natural insulator and can help to prevent warm or cool air from entering or escaping. Wooden windows are the most expensive of all the window types. The cost varies depending on the type of wood used, and the size and style of the windows.

Aluminum Windows

Although aluminum windows have steadily declined in popularity, they may still be suitable for certain situations. Aluminum windows are middle of the range when it comes to price.

Fiberglass Windows

Fiberglass windows are relatively new to the industry and only account for a small percentage of sales. However, they are gaining in popularity due to their longevity. They are on a par with aluminum for cost.

Glass Options

The glass options available vary significantly between manufacturers. Certain brands offer proprietary glass options that enhance security or energy efficiency.

Generally, the location of your home should dictate the type of glass you choose for your windows. If you live in a temperate climate, you will not require the same energy efficiency that a home located in an area with extreme temperatures needs. If you live near an airport, you may want to look for a window that provides noise protection.

Locate a Window Installer

Before choosing a replacement window contractor, there are several factors to consider, including their work history, certifications, and the warranties and guarantees they offer.

Home Window Warranties and Guarantees

A warranty covers the products themselves, typically ensuring that faults or damage caused by manufacturing will be replaced or repaired. The installation itself should be covered by a guarantee that provides repair or replacement in the event of damage caused by the installer’s negligence.

Written Confirmation

As is the case with any home improvement project, it is critical to work with a contractor who is willing to document all discussions. The contract should specify the estimated cost of the work, the specific services that will be performed, the products that will be provided, and the anticipated start and completion date of the job.
