Labor Cost To Install Windows
Interested in finding out more on labor cost to install windows? Let’s break it down and get to it. I’ll cut to the chase and list the labor cost to install windows in 2024 as a range from $75 to $500 per window. Now, this is a huge range so let’s break this down into a few different buckets. (Please note: there will be some overlap here so keep that in mind.)
Quick Links
Handyman Installation CostsThe least expensive window installation cost is using a local handyman - someone who knows how to install a window, but doesn’t necessarily make their living doing this. The advantage here is typically the cost, which I put at $75 to $200 per window. What you pay within this range will depend on labor rates in your area and on the type of installation required (whether it’s retrofit or full frame - click for a full discussion and breakdown on these window installation types.)
Retrofit Cost To Install WindowsThe next level up on the window installation cost range is for a retrofit install (also sometimes called “insert” or sometimes “pocket” or sometimes simply as “replacement”) Whatever you want to call it, this is from a professional installer who works for a local window company (either a direct to consumer company like Renewal By Andersen or a local window dealer) This is the simpler of the two methods and should run anywhere from $100 to $250 per window for the install itself.
Full Frame Window Installation Cost
The most expensive window installation cost is a full frame install (also sometimes referred to as new construction installation). This method should run anywhere from $200 to $500 per window. This is a huge price range - especially when you’re replacing 30 windows or more! The reason for this big range is because there could be any number of problems that the installers have to address.

Window Installation Cost | 2024Price For Triple Window InstallHi Dane I was just quoted roughly $4,700 before tax for two large replacements…
[Site Editor's Answer]Sean, those prices sound about right. I like the window as well. I would feel comfortable with that option, although I would also advise you to collect two more bids just to see how other local companies would price it out.
Independent Contractor Installation CostsRecently got a quote on the Provia Endure EN600 Triple Pane, but on the Windows only - $7,900. The had an Independent Contractor Quote for the install, which was $200/window or $2,800 total. This is on 14 insert windows.

Labor Cost To Install Windows | 2023Austin Window Installation CostI have 31 windows to replace. I recently got a bid from Vistamark on their Endura series. (Vistamark Windows Reviews)
Window Installation CostsI have a bunch of quotes that I'd love a bit of advice on. We are replacing 2 horizontal sliders and 11 double hungs windows, plus a sliding door. All of these come with double strength glass and four of the 13 require tempered glass.
[Site Editor's Answer]Barry, it certainly isn't inexpensive, but it doesn't seem beyond the pale either. I'd certainly continue to collect a couple more bids for the sake of comparison. Two good choices though -- the Sunrise Restorations is the better of the two by a fair distance.
Provia Endure Installation CostsI am getting new construction windows on the Provia Aspect for $950 or the Endure for $1,000 dollars each. The I have a very good contractor who does great work so I feel confident in that regard. This does not include the installation costs, which he said were going to be around $300 each. ProVia Aspect Windows Pricing
[Site Editor's Answer]Your contractor sounds very knowledgeable — I agree with him on the ProVia doors and the Endure series over the Aspect (sometimes I’ll hear a $150 difference between these models so the $50 is a bargain). Pricing looks fair for the contractor as far as I’m concerned. If you are going to go with ProVia doors I would probably stick to the ProVia windows myself.
It sounds like you are in good hands and I don’t think you can go wrong with either choice here.
Labor Cost To Install WindowsI am a resident of the Bay Area (zip code 94582) and looking for window replacements. Our house is 40 years old. Your YouTube videos have been very helpful. Thank you so much.
[Site Editor's Answer]Minyoung, Simonton manufactures a ton of window series so it really depends on which series you are looking at. In general, Simonton makes a solid mid range window so I apologize if my video sounded like they are low end. If this were my bid, I would keep it and continue to collect three additional bids for comparison sake. Simonton Windows Cost
