What affects the price
- Frame material. Vinyl is usually the lowest-cost option. Wood and fiberglass cost more.
- Window style. Bay and bow windows cost several times more than standard double-hung windows.
- Full-frame or insert. Insert windows fit inside existing frames for less labor. Full-frame replacement costs more but fixes rotted frames.
- Number of windows. Many installers price larger orders lower per window.
How to get an accurate quote
- Get at least three quotes. Prices for the same job often vary a lot between contractors.
- Compare the same scope. Make sure each quote covers the same materials, removal, permits and cleanup.
- Check license and insurance. Ask for proof of insurance and look up the contractor's license with your state.
- Get it in writing. A written estimate should list the work, the price, the payment schedule and the warranty.
