Window Prices By Size

2024 replacement window prices by size is not an easy topic to tackle -- here's the deal: many manufacturers price out their windows by the square foot, while others do it by the lineal foot (same basic idea, just a slightly different calculation). But there are so many more factors that go into pricing than simply the size of the window itself. So part of what we do is post our users prices - some by size, some by the number of openings/windows they require.

Vinyl: $400 to $1200
(Fully Installed Cost)


A Word On Inflation Heavy inflation was pretty brutal over the past four years. In 2023, prices cooled way down, but they certainly didn't go back to where they were before. This means replacement windows often still feel expensive for many consumers - hopefully 2024 will not see any significant price spikes.


Fiberglass: $900 to $1800
(Fully Installed Cost)


I'm going to provide you with a range of pricing by frame material, as well as give some specific size examples. Check out our latest and greatest replacement window cost estimator to get a pricing bid on however many replacement window or new construction windows you are looking for.

Window Prices By Size Forum



As we get started determining what window prices by size is exactly, keep in mind that there are lots of factors to take into consideration here. Even the smallest window (sold in a big box store) will run you $175 because a factory has cost involved with any assembly line production. The price per square foot will often decrease as you get into "normal sizes" or more popular sizes -- because they're easier and therefore cheaper, to make. As you get into very large windows, the window costs per square foot will increase because the glass is more difficult to procure, the frame must be strong enough to support the weight, etc.

Plus, there are also huge disparities between brands. Renewal By Andersen window cost might be $1700 for a standard 42" by 62" window, Window World pricing might be $500 for that exact same size window. There are also huge disparities in installation costs, depending on who is doing the work and the type of installation required. This is why trying to nail down window pricing by size is so darn difficult.

Towards the bottom of the page, we will include some customer examples of what they paid for replacement windows. You will notice huge per window pricing variations due to the array of choices, upgrades and add ons that are available for each replacement window.

Calculating the square footage of a window in inches goes like this: a 42 inch by 58 inch window is equal to 16.9 square feet. We get this by multiplying 42 x 58, which equals 2436. Then divide by 144 to get 16.9 square feet.

Vinyl Window Prices By Size

Vinyl window costs in 2024 will run roughly $400 to $1,200 full installed. Installation is usually not calculated by size, but by difficulty, and will run from say $100 all the way up to $500 per "opening."

Vinyl is the least expensive frame material and has a huge range in terms of quality and pricing. (The biggest by far as nearly 60% of all manufacturers deal just in vinyl windows.) Consumers will get the most value for their money in the $600 to $900 price range. Check out our page on the best replacement windows to see recommendations on all frame materials, including vinyl replacements.


Vinyl: $400 to $1200
(Fully Installed Cost)


Small Vinyl Window Price Range: $400 to $500 fully installed

Medium Vinyl Window: $500 to $800 fully installed

Large Vinyl Window: $800 to $1,200 fully installed


Wood Windows Prices By Size

Wood windows cost run roughly $400 to $2,500 per window full installed. Wood clad is the most expensive frame material and also has a huge range in terms of quality and pricing. Consumers will get the most value for their money in the $50 to $60 psf range. A wood window itself will run anywhere from $20 to $50 psf.

Wood windows also require maintenance over the years, specifically stain or paint to preserve the quality of this organic material. While many consumers can get sucked into the beauty of wood in the showrooms, going with an inorganic material like vinyl or fiberglass is a much more hassle free option.


Wood Clad: $1500 to $2500
(Fully Installed Cost)


Small Wood Window Price Range: $400 to $700 fully installed

Medium Wood Window: $700 to $1,500 fully installed

Large Sized Pricing: $1,500 to $2,500 fully installed

Fiberglass Windows Cost By Size

Fiberglass windows prices run roughly $900 to $1,600 full installed. Fiberglass is one of the more expensive frame materials, on par with aluminum. Fiberglass is an excellent frame material, strong and durable, and a great choice for residential windows. It is more expensive than vinyl, but should last longer and hold up very well.


Fiberglass: $900 to $1800
(Fully Installed Cost)


Small Sized Pricing: $600 to $900 fully installed

Medium Sized Pricing: $900 to $1,200 fully installed

Large Sized Pricing: $1,200 to $1,600 fully installed


Aluminum Window Prices By Size

Aluminum prices run roughly $10 to $40 per square foot full installed. This is roughly equal to the cost of vinyl windows. Aluminum is one of the more expensive frame materials, on par with fiberglass. Aluminum windows aren't very versatile, they are an excellent option in very hot climates like Texas, but outside of this they really aren't the best option for residential homes. (These are used almost exclusively in commercial projects due to their incredible strength.)


Aluminum: $800 to $2150
(Fully Installed Cost)


Small Window Price Range: $800 to $1200 fully installed

Medium Aluminum Window: $1200 to $1700 fully installed

Large Sized Pricing: $1700 to $2150 fully installed

Composite Costs By Size

Composite window costs run roughly $800 to $1800 full installed. Composite frame are relatively new to the window replacement market and they can look really nice and come with some great features. They tend to be a bit overpriced (this is a broad statement, there is value in the marketplace), but can offer some good performance numbers and durability.


Composite: $850 to $2400
(Fully Installed Cost)


Small Window Price Range: $850 to $1250 fully installed

Medium Composite Window: $1250 to $1900 fully installed

Best Replacement Windows in Minnesota

Looking for best options in Minnesota. I also got a few quotes, 1 from Window Concepts of Minnesota (Polaris upgraded Ultra Weld called Eco-Smart I guess)
Sliding door of 72"x81"
2 double hung 26"x37"
The rest sliders
6-55"x58"
1-62x61"
1-54x45"
1-82"x61" double sided slider
For $30,000 with Full Jams.

Also had a company called Your Home Improvement Company quote apples to apples with their windows at $27,000. Casements of theirs was $33,000. Is the extra money worth it for casements? Should I look into trying to buy windows myself and hire a local handyman/independent contractor? I have integrity by Marvin and the wood is molding and rotting away. Thanks for your help, Justin

Justin - Homeowner - from 2024

[Site Editor's Answer]

Hi Justin. So I would at least collect 4 or 5 bids and then decide on the best approach for the money -- that could be buying windows and having a handyman put them in. I tend to think this only works if the handyman has LOTS of experience doing windows.

Are casements worth the extra cost? That's kind of a tough one to say - I really like casements and how they open, but they do have a lot more hardware involved (thus the added cost). I think it totally depends how you use your windows in the summer and spring.

I do love Polaris...

Collect a few more bids and then let's circle back and we can select the best option for your situation...

Window Prices By Size 2023


NT Presidential vs Burris Tectview AC

Dane and Tim, first, let me start out by saying how much I appreciate all the time and effort you spent on this site. It’s hard to find unbiased information on the Internet. Most of the forums seem to just have a bunch of gobbling guck, but don’t quite get to the question of quality and price point. So I really appreciate it.

I have three bids that I’m considering and I was hoping you could talk to me about the window replacement cost point and whether you think it’s fair for my situation. Our home is roughly 40 years old and needs new windows, but they only have to be the insert kind. We received three bids: one on the NT Presidential and this came out to $15,000. Oh, by the way, this is for 18 replacement windows that are all pretty standard size. The second bid was on the Milgaard Trinsic series and this came out to $16,100. Finally we had a bid on the Burris Tectview AC series and this came out to $14.2 thousand. Are these prices fair and which would you advise us to go with.

Steve - Homeowner - from 2023

[Site Editor's Answer]

Steve, first of all, thank you for the kind words about the site. We do work hard to try and provide biased information for homeowners across the United States. So, to the question at hand. I think the prices sound fair because of this single fact they’re all about the same price, and they’re all about the price difference that I would expect from each of these three brands.

For me, your best bid is probably the NT Presidential. I think this series is as good or a smidge better than the Milgard Trinsic and definitely better than the Burris techview AC. Now, I will say this: I don’t think any of these windows is significantly better than the rest, but I do think that there are small differences between the three and of those, the NT Presidential is your best bet.

I think it makes a lot of sense to take a hard look at the companies doing the actual installation. I think this is gonna make a bigger difference in the long-term quality of the project over the actual window itself. But all things being equal, the Presidential series is my pick.

Dane - Site Editor - from 2023


Sunrise Restoration V5000 Series

I have a price quote of $12,000 for 7 sliding windows with following sizes

3 @ 53w x 55h
13 @ 67w x 55h
1 @ 41w x 55h

Can you please tell me if this is reasonable?

I also have quote of $11,200 for ProVia.

Any thoughts?

Robert - Homeowner - from 2023

[Site Editor's Answer]

Robert, it seems expensive at first glance, but the two bids are in the same ballpark so that leads me to believe maybe your project requires more work. Anything over $1K per window raises my alarm bells, although those two windows, the Sunrise Restoration V5000 Series and the ProVia Endure series, are both very good. You may want to collect two more bids and then I think you'd have a pretty thorough understanding of the fair market price of your window replacement project...

Average Cost Of Replacement Windows

Dane, thanks again for the detailed notes and offer to review bids!

I received a bid for NT Windows - Presidential line to replace 26-29 windows, similar to the Anlin Panoramic bid, but significantly higher.

Seems like at that price point, I would opt for the Anlin bid that was around 29K for white vinyl or 25% more for black exterior vinyl.

Price Breakdown:

Windows/Installation: $43,720.00

Tempered glass: $1,386.00

Additional Materials/Labor: $1,300.00 Labor Cost To Install Windows

NT Windows Presidential series cost (26 windows) Total: $46,406.00

Notes:

8 weeks for manufacturing and delivery. 2 days for installation.

John - Homeowner - from 2023

[Site Editor's Answer]

John, the NT Presidential is probably on par with the Anlin Panoramic series -- so I would stick with the Anlin bid at this point at save yourself what like $10K plus -- that's kind of an easy one for me, even if the installation company has better reviews. If they were offering the Sunrise Restorations series and this were your forever home, then it might be a discussion.

Okna Window Prices By Size

Hi Dane, got these prices for okna 500 and 800 series. Located in Vienna Virginia. These companies seem to be soaking residents. Or the HOA is lazy. Can you take a look and give me thoughts. Seems very high. Also appears he is quoting for the deluxe option. I am on third and fourth floor of condo but 2 of 8 windows have a deck access. So 6 need ladders for sealing and outside work.

They are both the deluxe series. 8 windows - 2 of the openings are 21.5 by 70 and 6 openings 33.5 by 70.

Okna 800 Deluxe series no grids white hardware - $12,460

Okna 500 Deluxe series no grids white Hardware - $10,820

Bob - Homeowner - from 2023

[Site Editor's Answer]

Bob, my position is anything over $1K per window is super high...but if the job is new construction/full frame installation...the other factor is the fourth floor factor. This does make it more difficult to complete the work. So you might be looking at higher than normal pricing.

Some companies just don't like the conditions, so they jack the estimate to "make it worth their time" -- these companies are under no obligation to give you a fair bid.

My advice is to continue to get estimates until you find something a company/window/price that you like. A sample size of 1 doesn't lend itself to a fair deal.

Dane - Site Editor - from 2023


Provia Window Prices By Size

Hi Dane, love this site. I am replacing 6 windows, 4 are 32 x 61, 1 is 40 x 61, and a bathroom that needs tempered glass and we're also doing a tinted bottom on it, measures 40 x 33. All have colonial grids and upgraded glass packages. Here are my quotes:

Provia Endure $5300

Midway Belmont $5300 Midway Windows Reviews

Vytek Curtis - $5500

SoftLite Classic - $5200

The Vytek is from a company that we bought our entry way door w/double sidelines from and the install was great, owner was there in beginning and end.

How do you think these quotes compare. I am in the Columbus Ohio area and the building boom is pretty intense.

Peggy - Homeowner - from 2023

[Site Editor's Answer]

Peggy what an incredibly close price grouping -- that's pretty rare! I think we can safely assume that that is the fair market price for your project. Vytex sells a Fortis model, but I've never heard of the Curtis. The Vytex Fortis series is quite a good window -- perhaps not as good as the Endure but very close. All good series in the rest of the three, but my favorite of these is the ProVia Endure. This is head and shoulders the best of the SoftLite Classic and Midway Belmont series. This is what I would choose, although I do love going with a company that you already know about, feel comfortable with, and trust in.

Renewal By Andersen Window Prices By Size

Hi Dane, I've been thru two estimates so far for 20 replacements for my home. One with Marvin Infinity and One with Renewal By Anderson. I found both very overpriced.

The Marvin Infinity price was 40,800 and the Renewal By Anderson price was 52,600. Additionally Anderson wanted 18,000 for a double hinged french patio door

Marvin wanted $8100 for the door I found both over priced also. Thru my research I think Marvin Infinity should be at $32,000 for the windows and $6500 for the door.

Am I in lala land or in the ballpark? Only upgrade was two tone frame.

Thank You for you Advice,

Here are my sizes:

Living Room
1- 95"x50 1/2" Triple Slider End Vent 1/4 1/2 1/4
1- 45 3/4" x 50 1/2" Slider

Dining Room
1- 37 1/2 x 50 1/2 Slider

Kitchen
1-46 3/4 x 38 1/2 Slider

Bedrooms
11- 37 1/2 x 50 1/2 Sliders

Up Stairs Baths
2- 22x38 Tempered Obscure Glass casement

Laundry Room
1- 18x32 casement

Downstairs Bath
1- 18x32 Tempered Obscure Casement

Family Room
2- 71x50 1/2 Sliders

Hugh - Homeowner - from 2023

[Site Editor's Answer]

Hugh, I would agree that those are both very expensive bids. $18k for a french patio door -- that's, um, staggering. Replacement window costs have gone up a lot, but those are very costly. Your slider and casement sizes seem to be pretty standard. I think you just need to continue to collect more bids from local companies until you find a quality product at a reasonable price. Are you married to fiberglass? Would a high quality vinyl window be a consideration?

Window Prices By Size Questions

Hi I wanted to get some replacements but not sure of how window prices by size differences work.

Double hung. White outside, white inside clear glass, no grids, no blinds.

What is the difference in price for 34 1/2 width by 70 length with various energy efficiency styles?

I saw on website there are options as low as R2 and up to R10. How much are windows realistically?

Thanks.

Lynn - Homeowner - from 2023

[Site Editor's Answer]

Lynn, first of all, to answer your question of how much are windows -- prices aren’t uniform so its impossible for me to tell you what a company will bid out a specific window for — I’d collect 4 bids and compare the prices — that’s really the only way to know the project cost.

Huge Replacement Windows Cost Discrepancy

Hi Tim, can you please send me a list of the good to great replacements? I am looking at replacing 32 windows on a stucco house and would like your opinion on the best value and the replacement technique. I am not too hip about cutting them all out and dealing with a stucco repair. I have had three quotes that range from $37,000 to $160,000. That is a big disparity.

Thank you.

Ply Gem Costs

Hi Dane, thank you, it is a great website! Thank you. We are getting new construction and replacement windows. Our contractor is pushing United from Lowes. From your reviews, it sounds like United is not a great option. 

Can you send me your list of good and great windows? 

Our budget is somewhere around $400 - $500 per window (not including installation). Do you think it is feasible for us to find a mid-grade vinyl from someone like Simonton, PlyGem, or Okra in that price range (those seem like good options based on your website)? The size is 36 in x 60 in. 

Doug - Homeowner - from 2022

[Website Editor Reply]

Doug, I would think you should be able to get those for maybe $500 to $600 each, but don't put a price tag on anything until you get the bids themselves. They can vary greatly or very little -- bids are tough to predict.

Replacement Windows Price List

Hello Dane, my name is Jeff Chandler and I am a contractor in Round Rock, I'm reaching out to see if you have a windows price list of some sort. I am trying to remove the middle man and I prefer to try and use local, and American made products. Any and all help would be appreciated, thank you--

Thanks.

Jeff - Homeowner - from 2022

[Website Editor Reply]

Jeff, I don't have replacement windows price list for any companies. Besides what you can buy at the building supply stores, nearly all window companies use their dealer network to sell. Simonton might be an option and their high end series are solid windows in my opinion. You might start here --

Window Pricing By Size In DFW

Thanks, Dane. In terms of products, what would you consider the best bang for my buck for a mid range option (roughly $1,000/window) including bronze color and exterior cladding. I see you like sunlight quite a bit. Any others? Burris?

David - Homeowner - from 2022

[Website Editor Reply]

David, with an upgrade color and exterior cladding, $1000 per window is actually a very good price.

I like Sunrise, NT, Anlin, Don Young, and Zen -- Burris would make the tail end of my list...

Hurricane Slider Cost And Size Question

Dear Dane, my home in Boca Raton has single pane aluminum windows (junk), and sliders. I currently have accordion shutters for protection. My question to you is, should I replace w double pane low e type windows (vinyl I assume) or remove the shutters and use hurricane windows.

How much difference is there in cost?

I do realize the difference in convenience w the hurricane ones.

Fourteen windows and three sliders.

Also hurricane sliders are very heavy and I’m concerned about quality since it seems wheels are a weak point on most, needing replacement more that I think they should.

And could u recommend favorite brands.

Contractors are an issue here just getting them to show up!

Peter - Homeowner - from 2022

[Website Editor Reply]

Peter, if your accordion shutters are in good shape and protect the windows during hurricanes and heavy storms, I would keep them and simply replace the windows with a high quality vinyl window. A normal window might run like $800 to $1000 (2022 pricing has jumped really high). A hurricane window might run $1500 to $2000 depending on the size and brand.

I am sure that contractors are in short supply in Florida these days! Probably best to hire a installation company that does nothing but windows...I'm going to send you my best Florida replacement windows list now...

How Much Do Home Windows Cost

Hello Dane, I have been in the window consulting and estimating industry for over 19 years. In 2016 I started my independent marketing and estimating service due to the practices associated with representing installation contractors. I have found your sight very helpful and often share it with my customers. The one question I have had with your information pertains to the pricing you offer for your brands. I have been estimating for 30 years in the building products industry and 19 of it is in the window replacement category. Your printing for installed windows is always half the rates of anything I can ever get from a contractor.

Could you please explain how you come up with your pricing? I have sold windows in San Diego, Dallas/Fort Worth, Tucson and Phoenix. The installers that have low pricing are still averaging about $900 per window for a builder grade quality window.

Steve - Homeowner - from 2022

[Website Editor Reply]

Steve, thanks for the email -- I have been working to up the prices on my site to reflect the "new normal" and I certainly admit that pricing is tricky. However, prior to 2020, I wouldn't say that the average price for a retrofit replacements was $900 for a builder grade window. (Maybe on an old home where they had to do lots of frame/sill work.) Maybe a contractor in San Diego can charge their customers $900 for a builder grade product, but there is a huge difference between what a contractor can get away with charging and what I'm trying to tell my consumers that they SHOULD be paying.

Two years ago, I could walk into Home Depot and purchase an Andersen 100 series for $450 and pay a good installer $150 to put in the window (assuming they're more or less cutting out the old unit and properly replacing it). That's $600 for what I would consider a much better than builder grade window.

Take Renewal By Andersen. Prior to 2020, they were getting roughly $1200 per window, but their initial bid quote was always $2000 per window. So the question for me is this -- what does the Renewal rep tell you he's getting per window? Maybe $1700 per window? For those customers who take the initial estimate and sign a work order, they are paying $2000 a window. But the diligent homeowner who is getting multiple bids and finding the dealer's "floor price" would or should be paying $1200 a window. That's a pretty massive price difference.

My pricing is meant to be "what should you be paying for this window with multiple estimates and some diligence on your part." That's essentially my mission with this site.

My Okna 500 price (an option that I really like and comes up quite a bit) is $650 to $800 installed, which assumes medium sized window and normal installation. I went back and checked what homeowners were telling me they were paying in 2020 and before (feel free to go through the Okna pricing page and double check my math) -- my average pricing was pretty darn close.

However, in the past two years, things have gone crazy and I was reticent to increase my price targets in case everything came back down to earth. This hasn't happened, and now seems doubtful that it will go this way.

I do appreciate the email and will continue to work toward providing consumers with what I consider to be truthful information when taken from across the United States and with each brand that comes up.

Milgard Prices By Size

Greetings Dane, I'm looking to replace the windows and patio slider in my home which is located in Washington state. Our home was built in 1992, and our current windows are double-pane aluminum.

I received one quote for Milgard Styleline (Vinyl) for just under $14,000 which included installation.

I also had Renewal By Anderson come out and they quoted me 66k originally, and then with all their discounts it dropped to $43,995.

The quality of the RbA do seem nice; however at 3x the cost, and reading your blog, I'm getting the feeling that these windows and my quote is a bit high.

6 @ ~ 41 h x 59 w (Bedrooms) - Half Slider

1 @ ~ 35 h x 35 w (Bathroom #1) - Half Slider

1 @ ~ 35 h x 23 w (Bathroom #2) - Single Hung

1 @ ~ 41 h x 47 w (Kitchen) - Half Slider

1 @ ~ 59 h x 83 w (Front Window-solid) - Picture

1 @ ~ 81 h x 71 w (Patio Slider)

Thanks for your review.

Sean - Homeowner - from 2022

[Website Editor Reply]

Sean, personally I think that that RBA bid is too high -- 10 windows and a patio slider for $43K is just too expensive for the quality of their window. However, I'm not a big fan of the Milgard Styleline. I do like like the Milgard Trinsic, which is their newer model -- I would be interested in finding out how much the Milgard dealer would charge for that option. Anlin is a very good window in their Del Mar and Coronado. The other series you may want to look at is an Amerimax. I'm thinking there might be a dealer in your area. Also a Simonton 5500 series, which is quite a good window.

Apex Insignia Price Bid

Dane, I've been reading a lot of your information. I have a two-story home in Southeastern Wisconsin with 8 double hungs with grids that are 3' x 5' high. Four on the ground level and four on the second floor. Also on ground level are four casement: two are 2' x 5' 6" high and two are 2' x 5' 6" high. One large 10' x 5' 6" high that has an opening case on each end. One 40" square casement double opening. Two 28" x 42" casement and one sliding patio door 6' wide x 78" high. Upper level has a large picture window that is 5' square in size but the top has a moon shaped curvature and this window has grids.

Also upstairs are two (one needs tempered glass) casement 54" square double opening and one casement 28" x 42" high (needs tempered glass). For all 21 items installed from APEX, I got a quote for the insignia TG2 product for $35,600. I have no idea if this is a good product or if the pricing is good. Can you give me other options with a similar quality product or slightly better product? I'll probably be in the home for another 15 years or more.

Jeff - Homeowner - from 2022

Jeff, the pricing seems okay but you do want more bids to see whether or not there are better options out there. The Apex Insignia is a good performer, but take a look at these options as well.

Here is my list of good and great options in case you want to continue your search:

Vinyl Window Replacement Cost

Dane, I live in Los Angeles and we are looking for 7 black exterior windows for our new house. I was quoted for both Milgard and Anlin, Milgard is quoting me $9500k for the Trinsic Series and Anlin for $15k for the Panoramic Series. I got one quote for the Anlin where they mixed both Panoramic and Monte Verde together, Monte Verde for the patio doors, and Panoramic for all the windows for a total of roughly $10k.

Below are the measurements that I have:

Kitchen: 44"w x 34.5"h
Patio: 118.5"w x 80"h - Patio Door
Kitty's Room: 70.5"w x 47.5"h
Karen's Room: 60"w x 80"h - Patio Door
Kay's Room: 70.5" w x 71"h sliding window on top (47"h) - picture window on the bottom (24"h) (tempered glass for picture window)
Kay's Bathroom: 23"w x 35.5h obscure glass
Bathroom: 36"w x 12"h obscure glass

My question is whether the pricing makes sense, how big of a difference is between Milgard Trinsic and Anlin Panoramic, and if it's wise to go with the Monte Verde for the patio doors?

Your insight and expertise is greatly appreciated! Thank you!

Karen - Homeowner - from 2022

[Website Editor Reply]

Karen, I would think the best deal so far is the Anlin Panoramic on the windows and the Monte Verde for the patio doors for $10K. I think the quality of this combination is above the Milgard Trinsic for $9500. The pricing seems relatively fair to me, although at the higher end of what I would expect.

I would certainly compare the installation companies though to make sure that the Anlin company has good to great reviews. You may want to get one additional bid from a dealer for Amerimax windows if you can find one. That would be the comparable brand to Anlin and Milgard on the west coast.

Lindsay - Homeowner - from 2022

[Website Editor Reply]

Lindsay, I would say from a value perspective (quality and price), the following four bids offer the high value for your dollar. If the Simonton installer had a fantastic reputation/reviews, I would probably go this route. The 6200 is a solid window, especially for the price and with high quality installation. If the reviews are mediocre, I would probably go to option 2 and repeat the process. The installation is half the battle so definitely be cognizant of this...

1. Simonton 6200: $15,886

2. Milgard Tuscany: $17,470

3. Wincore 7700: $22,500

4. Apex Insignia: $23, 600

Pella 250 Window Prices By Size

Hi, Dane. We need 24 replacements to replace leaky storm windows in our new sunroom. We plan on:

10 fixed picture - roughly 4’ wide by 5’. high. 8 of them a bit smaller, and 2 of them a bit larger.

10 sliders, roughly 4’ wide and 2.5’ high.

We also have 4 fixed upper windows (peak under cathedral ceiling) — 2 of them are triangles - about 5’ wide at the longest length. The other 2 or trapezoids, also about 5’ wide at the longest length, and with with peak chopped off to fit the space.

So that’s:

14 fixed frames and 10 sliders

We’re still going back and forth with the Pella folks, but so far we’re looking at $34,100 cash price. The Pella 250s have low-e, Argon, and foam in the frames.

I know prices have gone up with Covid, but this is close to $1,500 a window, installed. Am I right in thinking this is a really high price? And are there better options out there — bearing in mind, we’d need custom sizes and, for the 4 upper windows, custom shapes?

Thanks for your advice! We’re between Norfolk and Richmond, Virginia. Maybe you can recommend companies that do business in this area.

Cheers.

John - Homeowner - from 2022

[Website Editor Reply]

John, I'm generally suspicious of any price quote above $1000 per window, unless they are very larger or a specialty shape. The Pella 250 is a decent vinyl window, but not a great one. I would certainly continue the search if this were my project.

Here is my window recommendation list -- contact Tim) for his list.

5 regular double hung vinyl windows with full frame replacement

1 larger (104" wide) window with sliders on each end, vinyl and full frame replacement

1 standard size patio sliding door, where two windows used to be, vinyl and full frame replacement

Replacement Windows Estimates

What are your thoughts on this estimate for replacement windows in NC. Nirvana Soft Lite Classic Plus w Grids

2 - 64x70, 1 - 64x54, 5 - 32x54, 1 - 36x36, 2 - 32x70

Totals 11, however, the top 3 are double windows for total 14.

The cost is $10,736 plus tax. I've seen inquiries for similar counts that are much lower. I received a similar estimate for windows by Great Lakes. What are your thoughts on the price? The cost estimator says $5,460. Also, Which is better product?

Thanks!

Privia - Homeowner - from 2021

[Site Editor's Answer]

Privia, that isn’t a bad quote based on recent prices. I would say you are paying at the upper range I what I would say this is worth. One note here: COVID and the demand it has had on the home improvement industry, coupled with supply chain issues, has really pushed up prices. I’m hoping that this begins to dissipate as I really don’t like this price squeeze on consumers. However, I don’t realistically see this happening in the next three to four months in the United States.

I prefer the Soft-lite to the Great Lakes brand in general, but Great Lakes makes quite a good product in their better series. It really depends which window we are talking about.

How Much Does A Small Window Cost

Hello Dane, we just got a quote for 10 replacements

8 of which are 36” x 55”

2 are 36” x 35”

The estimate is $8,033

Is that in the ballpark?

And why are the smaller ones the same price ?

Roman - Homeowner - from 2021

[Site Editor's Answer]

Roman, I think this is in the ballpark from the pricing I have seen lately. Usually smaller windows are less expensive, but some companies price them out similarly to slightly larger windows because the material costs are so similar. No rhyme or reason to why they price them out like they do...would still go out and collect two more bids to make sure though.

Here is my list -- list redacted -- contact us (Dane or Tim) for window list.

Jason - Homeowner - from 2021

[Site Editor's Answer]

Jason, this is a hefty price tag at first glance, although it does include the exterior trim. I would absolutely get a few more bids if this were my project in order to compare how the bid stacks up to other companies in the area. I would think you could get a bid on a similar window for a lot less (although the demand lately has certainly driven up prices.)

CWS 8100 Window Costs

Hi Dane, Just got a quote from a pretty well liked window contractor in my area. The quote was for CWS 8100's in the following sizes:

2 - 3 Lite Roller - 110"x49"
1 - 2 Lite Roller - 73"x49"
1 - 2 Lite Roller - 73"x37"

1 - Single Hung - 35"x49"
1 - Single Hung - 25"x37"
1 - Single Hung - 35"x25" - OBS

The out the door cost is $16700. Does that sound high to you or is it a good price?

Thank you.

Dustin - Homeowner - from 2021

[Site Editor's Answer]

Dustin, this sounds like an okay price, high on the face of it, but I don't know all the project details. Prices have been pretty crazy lately, so there's always that...

I think I would still go out and get a couple more bids to compare this to...

My top picks for storm windows and doors include the Sunrise Coastal Series, Soft-Lite Barcelona Impact Series, Soft-Lite Armor Impact Series, PGT WinGuard Series, Stanek UltraExtreme Series, CWS Windpact Series, and the Simonton Stormbreaker Series.

Not all will have dealers in your zip code, but a google search for "Okna windows in [your city, state]" (as an example) should bring up local companies who carry the brand. Do this for each brand you are interested in searching. Call them up, get the bid, and compare. Feel free to shoot your bids over to me and I'm more than happy to provide you with my take on what you have.

Mark - Homeowner - from 2021

[Site Editor's Answer]

Mark, definitely not cheap. Prices have been wacky with COVID, although they seem to be slowly coming back down. I think at the end of the day, the only way you really know if the price is fair is if you collect a few more bids that give you some apple to apple quotes. The Bay Area is not what I call a quality-rich window region. Which is ironic given how much demand there would be up there.

Amerimax, Milgard, and a high quality Simonton series would be the places I would look to find the apples to apples comparisons you want to look for.

Alternatively, if you would like some quality local bids you can always use our Price Quote Form, beginning with your zip code where it says Find Local Five Star Rated Pros. The bids are free and you can send them to me and I'm more than happy to provide you with my take on any cost quotes you receive.

Window Nation Windows Prices By Size

Hi Dane, I have a two story home built in 1891, that still has the original windows. Most of the windows measure 33”x 78”. I want to replace 10 windows, black on the outside, white inside. Window Nation has given me their ‘discounted’ price of $12, 300 for Imperial windows. Is this a good price?

Thanks for your input!

Lori - Homeowner - from 2021

[Site Editor's Answer]

Lori, that price seems high to me. However, there are a few circumstances that might justify the price: full frame installation, the exterior color, and the COVID season demand. Full frame adds a good $200 to $300 to each window, exterior upgraded colors can drive cost up by as much as 30%, and COVID and consumer demand for home improvement has driven prices up.

Having said all that, I would still look for more bids to confirm or deny that the quote is too high.

Simonton 5500 Price

Evening, I have a couple of questions. I live in Texas and when we had the freeze recently, my six new windows failed. Huge drafts of cold air were coming up the sides in the tract area. At least two seals also broke.

- any idea what would cause these issues? The company hasn’t given me a straight answer.

- the company has offered me Anlin to replace the six I purchased. Are these good?

I also had a quote for my remaining ten windows for Simonton 5500. It came to roughly $10,300.

Is that a fair price?

Should I look at a different brand that’s more reliable?

I know this is a lot to ask. I’m trying not to get burned again.

Thank you.

Measurements:

1-36x24, white, eyebrow top PW, internal contoured grid 1v1h, regular glass $860.00 (keep safe laminated glass is not available in arching windows).

1-72x96 triple mulled unit, 1 DH twin 72x80, 31" center bar from bottom up, 8/4 grid contoured, keepsafe glass on DH's, 72x16 eyebrow top pw with regular glass, 5v0h grids, white $3570.00

1-24x60, DH, keepsafe glass, driftwood color $950.00

3-36x60, DH's, keepsafe glass, driftwood color $980.00 each

1-72x60, DH twin, keepsafe glass, driftwood color $2015.00

Rachel - Homeowner - from 2020

[Website Editor Reply]

Rachel, so the company who installed these are replacing them for free? I'm going to assume this is right.

Anlin windows are quite good. The Del Mar is their best series and their Catalina series is also quite good. If this is what they are going to replace them with for free, I would go for it. I would insist they bring their best crew to do the install because you DO NOT want to deal with this issue again. (The squeaky wheel and all that....)

The Simonton 5500 is a very good series as well. Probably equivalent to the Catalina series. $10,300...seems pricey to me, although you have some interesting configurations so that is definitely driving up the per window price...

Here are my Texas recommendations:

Search for an Okna dealer, who handle parts, but not all, of Texas. The Okna 500, 600, 700 and 800 series are all excellent vinyl windows.

The Sunrise Windows (they sell their standard or Classic model). Their Restorations Series is their high end window and you may or may not find a dealer who sells this. The Sunrise "Standard" series uses the same frame, but does not include some of the nicer upgrades that come standard on the Restorations.

The NT Presidential or NT Executive windows are a good quality vinyl option. NT should be available throughout Texas.

The Don Young 8200 Series. This is an aluminum window and very good. The aluminum/vinyl question -- which material is more suitable to the hot weather in Texas -- is up for debate.

Zen carries a Nirvana and Lotus model that are relabeled Soft-Lite Classic and Pro Series, respectively. Quite good for the most part. They have two branches in Texas I believe.

Tim - Site Editor - from 2020


Window Cost By Size

Dane, I’d appreciate your thoughts on the following bids to replace 33 windows, 1 set of double French doors, and 1 single French door:

We’ve received the following installed bids:

Anlin Del Mar — $38K

Simonton Daylight Max Cost -- $28K.

Milgard Trinsic — $28K

The Simonton installer said the job would take at least 3 days with a 3-person crew. The Anlin installer said they could do the job in 1 day with a 5-person crew. Does this sound reasonable? Should there be that much variability in the time to finish the job?

We live in southern California and the house is stucco.

Looking forward to your thoughts.

Thanks.

David - Homeowner - from 2021

[Site Editor's Answer]

David, the price differences between your bids is about what I'd expect. The Del Mar is the better window and sliding door. As to whether you should pay the extra $10K for the Anlin over the other two is kind of a toss up for me. Typically, I would say that your projected timeline for staying in the home (and budget of course) would be the best factor(s) to come at this issue. Ballpark, I would say 12 years is your over under.

I like the Milgard Trinsic perhaps a bit more than the Daylight Max, but I would probably look at the installation company reputation and reviews as the main way to differentiate between these two bids.

I'm a bit suspect that a 5 man crew could install all of this in one day...but it's not out of the question. I might be a tad concerned that they would be rushing it to get it done...I would go back to the installation company reviews as my guide to whether they could do it or not. But to answer your question, yes there is going to be variability in how the companies run their crews depending on the size of the outfit, the demand, etc.

Big Window Prices By Size

Hi Tim, I am looking to install new windows in my home. The sales person told me there are 14 windows of various sizes with three of those being large picture windows. Supposedly there is no charge for installation and sales tax. The product being used is Anlin Del Mar series. I was quoted $13,500. The sizes are: 72x62; 72x62; 38x58; 36x36; 30x30; 96x64; 30x36; 30x30; 30x30; 30x30; 30x30; 30x30; 30x30; 48x52 Does this sound like a good deal?

Thank you for your help.

Kathy - Homeowner - from 2020

[Website Editor Reply]

Kathy, if the installation is full frame, then it's a fair price. If it's simply a retrofit install, then it seems high to me. I'd get a couple more bids to compare it to...that's the only real way to know how fair the bid is...

Tim - Website Editor - from 2020

Sandy - Homeowner - from 2021

[Site Editor's Answer]

Sandy, sounds pricey to me. I don't think I would ever spend $48,000 unless I had at least a few other bids to compare this one to, especially with the big panels. There can lots of price differences here between different brands and companies. I would get a bid from a local company who carried PGT and another from someone who carried the Sunrise Coastal or the Soft-Lite Barcelona Impact.

Additional series I like include the Soft-Lite Armor Impact, Stanek UltraExtreme, and Simonton Stormbreaker series.

Two more bids should be enough to let you know if the $48,000 is reasonable or not.

Tim - Site Editor - from 2021


Okna Window Prices By Size

Tim, I have been using your recommendations to get bids of some of the products you mentioned below. Unfortunately, some of the brands are not sold in NC and others are based in Raleigh (50 miles away) and will not come out here. However I was able to find two highly rated companies, in Durham (70 miles away) who do cover Rocky Mount. One is a Okna dealer and the other is Soft-lite. Both have been in business for over 30 years. There was one other Okna dealer, but they only sell the 800 series and just entered my market 2 years ago when they bought out some local dealers - their main business is bathroom remodeling. I am not considering WindowWorld.

Here is what I need and the bids:

19 double hungs - (7) 32x 66; (8) 28 x 66; (4) 28 x 62; Plus (1) 48 x 46 fixed frame with tempered glass. For a total of 20

All windows are Low E and Argon Gas + 1" contoured grids. Both dealers have their own lifetime warrantees in addition to the mfg warranties.

Prices include installation and tax. They will also let me use a credit card (I want the airline miles). No down payment. Pay when the job is done and approved by me.

Soft-Lite
19 - Imperial Elite $14,545
1 Picture Window $1,611
TOTAL $16,156

Okna
19 - Okna Eco-Pro 600 Cost : $13,804.00
1 Picture Windows $915
TOTAL $14,917.00

So, what would you recommend.

Scott - Homeowner - from 2021

[Site Editor's Answer]

Scott, sorry for the lag in reply. Both excellent, top tier products -- like comparing a Tesla and Mercedes (actually probably not like that at all, but you get my drift). I personally would go with the Okna 600 because of the $1100 savings...unless you are worried about the Okna dealer's installation. I'd check their reviews in the last two years and make sure they have solid customer ratings.

The bottom line is you are considering two great manufacturers and have two seemingly solid companies doing the install. I think you've already won, but if all things are equal I'd go with the Okna 600 and invest the $1100 in some Bitcoin :)

Kat - Homeowner - from 2021

[Site Editor's Answer]

Kat, this bid from Anlin actually looks pretty close to what I would expect from them in your area. Those 71 inch windows are BIG windows and this is a good example of how size dictates price. Anlin bids lately have been high, as have many window quotes. The smaller sized windows surprise me a bit, but not by a huge amount. My only real advise is to maybe grab a Milgrd Tuscany or Trinsic bid and, assuming it's less than the Anlin Del Mar bid, take it to the Anlin dealer and see if he will match it.

Okna Window Prices By Size

Hello: I received a quote for Okna. I have 10 Okna casements in the front of my house and love them. They are 4 years old.

The quote I received today is for 11 Double Hung and one Sliding Insultec 500 Series for $11,400. This is twice the price of my Casement cost. That's why I'm reaching out. Is this a good price. I will get more estimates. Quatity and sizes are 6 - 32' X46', 2 - 32 X 54", 2 - 40' X 54", 1 - 23" X 37" and one slider 39" X 33". These are full rip and replace with installing new interior and exterior trim.

Thank you.

David - Homeowner - from 2021

[Site Editor's Answer]

Craig, that quote seems high unless they are doing full frame installation. Prices have jumped since Covid began and home improvement projects have become much more popular. However, casements are typically more expensive than double hungs (not by a ton, but 5% to 10%). So should the price have doubled in 4 years, no. Again, unless you are doing full frame replacement due to damage to the frame and/or sills.

Window Quote Based On Size

Thank you for your help. I am looking to replace 5 arched, fixed frames. Rough dimensions are L x H:

84” X 66”

60” X 51”

72” X 58”

36” X 63” (2)

These are all picture windows, undivided. I would like to maintain a low profile frame. I currently have an Anlin quote for $10,300. I’m trying to understand if Pella or Marvin has a low profile frame that would work. Your help is appreciated

Tim - Homeowner - from 2020

[Website Editor Reply]

Tim, if you want to go with a low profile, I would recommend an aluminum thermally broken window. These will be very strong, but mediocre in terms of energy efficiency. Milgard sells an aluminum window. Marvin does not. The Pella Impervia is a fiberglass window that may have a thin frame, but in terms of quality it's not a window I would really recommend.

Milgard has a new vinyl option in the Trinsic that uses a slim profile that you could take a look at.

The Sunrise Restorations is a thin frame, but I'm not sure they will have a rep in your area.

Don Young makes a very good aluminum window as well.

1) 37x57 - total 4 ( double hung)

2) 37x72 - total 4 ( double hung)

3) 21x41 - total 1 (picture)

These are the quotes received:

Option 1) Zen Nirvana Cost - Soft-Lite's Classic Plus Line: $5,725.00

Option 2) Pella 250 Series Cost (from Lowe's): $5357.00

Option 3) Vinylmax Edison Cost: $4,964.00

These are all very competitive price and they seems to be similar performance. I live in Kansas City area so looking for your comments/suggestions on these choices.

Would really appreciate your thoughts.

Thanks for your help.

Rakesh, great pricing on all of these windows. For me the Vinylmax Edison is the best of the bunch. Plus, it's the least expensive. Assuming the local Vinylmax dealer has a great track record and great online reviews, this would be a no brainer for me. The Soft-Lite Classic Plus would be my second choice, but quite a ways back of the Edison option.

Anlin Windows Prices

Good Morning, I really enjoy your site. I was hoping you could help us out, we live in Tucson, AZ and we recently received a quote for a window replacement. Full frame installation, quote details below.

Anlin Del Mar Windows
1 - 48" x 48" Slider
1 - 48" x 60" Slider
2 - 24" x 48" Picture
1 - 48" x 48" Picture

Quoted price was $4698

Do you think this is too high?

Jacob, I don't necessarily think that's a high quote for full frame replacement and Anlin Del Mar. It's not cheap. Home improvement projects are in demand right now so companies are not bidding out projects on the low end, that's for sure. If this were my project, I'd get two more bids and see what they came back with. I'm do a Milgard Tuscany quote and an Amerimax Masters Grande cost quote (if available). The other option might be a Simonton Reflections 5500.

I'd get these quotes, see how they compare, and then take the lowest bid back to Anlin. I'd ask them if they can match the quote and see how that lowers the bid.

Sunrise Window Prices By Size

Hello, I recently had Sunrise vinyl replacements installed & need to get an estimated cost per window. I had 3 sliders 72 x 44 and 2 double hungs 26 x 44. I would just like to know a break down of what one of the sliders and one of the double hungs cost approximately for tax purposes.

Kay - Homeowner - from 2018

[Website Editor Reply]

Kay, if you had the windows installed, don't you know what you paid. On average, a Sunrise double hung windows should run $550 to $650 installed. However, it's like asking what a Toyota Highlander costs -- it can run $32K to $45K based on all the features and packages.

Window Prices By Size Of Frame

A couple of quick questions: do those prices mean per frame or per pane (or a double casement should I expect double that price)? Also, is that for inserts or full replacement?

Thanks again,

Chris - Homeowner - from 2018

It's for say a 32" w by 42" h window replacement, not full installation. Honestly, projects have too many factors to give definitive pricing. It's just a guide. The bids are going to be the best way to judge the fair cost.

Feel free to send me your bids and I'll give you my two cents.

Window Cost By Size

Question, I am pricing large windows for our church,, like 52" wide 134" in heights. My quote went from a barrington to an Soft-Lite Imperial LS series due to the fact that we wanted tinted glass and the dealer said we had to go to a heavier frame, required 3 separate panes of glass. Does that make sense?

Pauline - Homeowner - from 2017

[Site Editor's Answer]

Pauline, without seeing the particulars of the opening, I can't honestly say. As a general rule of thumb, a larger opening does often require a stronger frame to insure that the frame doesn't warp over time with the stress of the extra weight across the span. Here is what I would suggest -- get a couple more opinions from other companies like the one that carries Soft-Lite.

Three or four opinions should provide you with a clear picture of what is required. You will also get a chance to see more pricing options and brands, as well as the ability to use the lower bids to help negotiate the best price with the company that you like. Here is an article about negotiating in case you want to take a look. Feel free to send me the bids when you receive them and I'm more than happy to give you my opinion on the price and the window brands you are considering!

Del Mar Window Prices By Size

We have received an estimate to replace 22 windows and 1 slider for $22,252.99. This is for Anlin Del Mar and Malibu slider. Nine of them will have grids. Just trying to determine if the is a good estimate or inflated. We do have two windows that are 95 & 96" wide and our slider is 96" wide. However, we do have 8 what I would consider small openings as well. Three of them do not open so do not even have sliders.

Diana - Homeowner - from 2016

[Site Editor's Answer]

Diana, this seems high to me, although I don't know what's involved in the installation so I will not say for sure that this is unreasonable. Assuming that the slider is $2000, which is on the expensive side for a vinyl patio door, that's over $1000 per window. Typically, I would say that you should be able to get a good quality vinyl window installed for $400 to $600 per window. Of course, there are lots of factors that can push this number above or below the number I quoted. I think you need to check out our recommended windows page and search for local companies that carry the brands listed in the mid range and premium categories. Getting a few more bids will tell with reasonable certainty whether the bid you have is fair or too high. West Coast vinyl manufacturers that I typically recommend include Milgard, Amerimax, Anlin (which you already have), and the premium models from Simonton.

Anlin Patio Sliding Doors Quote

Hi Dane, Recently we got a quote for Anlin brand patio doors and French doors from American Vision. We need 2 patio doors and 2 single French doors to replace. The price is as follows and includes installation. Is that a fair quote?

68"x80" XO sliding door for $2565 each
32"x80" French door for $2066 each

Elaine - Homeowner - from 2016

[Site Editor's Answer]

Elaine, the prices quoted don't seem outrageous to me by any means. Doors are tricky due to custom sizes etc. But a sliding door at that size for $2600 installed is a pretty decent price. However, don't take my word for it because obviously I don't know the specifics behind the install etc.

Get a couple more price quotes on comparable products -- get a quote from a local Milgard dealer and one from an Amerimax dealer and see how their vinyl sliding patio doors and french doors compare. This is really the only way to determine if you are getting the best deal possible. One other point to consider -- you can always take the lower quote back to the Anlin dealer and use it to negotiate a lower price from them. The bottom line is, the more quotes you get the stronger bargaining position you'll be in!

Renewal By Andersen Price By Size

wanted to replace 7 windows plus a slider but the Renewal by Andersen pricing was astronomical. After 5 hours in my house with their salesman pitching the superiority of their windows I ended up purchasing one casement (34.5 x 57.5) and one double-hung (47 x 57) window for $4427 plus $288.30 for a mandatory building permit. I planned to complete the rest of them within the year, however due to a breach of trust and discomfort with the salesman I am now looking for a different company. I love the windows, I don’t love the price tag, I really don’t like the changing prices and sales tactics.

Unfortunately Renewal by Andersen is only sold by a single dealer in my area so finding another dealer is not an option. Now I am looking to find a good window from a reputable company that offers a style that will be compatible with the two Renewal windows I just had installed. I live in California so extreme weather isn’t an issue, but the windows are west facing and get full sun all afternoon which is why the Renewal windows with the composite material seemed so attractive. Plus the salesman said that they were able to make a smaller frame with larger glass area due to the added strength of the proprietary composite material. I want more glass, less frame. Can you provide some advice about the companies I should be looking at?

Jacque - Homeowner - from 2016

[Site Editor's Answer]

Jacque, RBA makes a nice window, but they are VERY expensive. The Andersen 100 window is made of the same fibrex material and is often sold in home depot for around $250 to $450 for the window, depending on the upgrades, glass, etc. that you want. You would obviously have to find your own installer -- I wouldn't recommend going with the HD subcontractors, but you could find an experienced installer and get them to install it for you.

The other option is to go with a vinyl option -- Milgard, Amerimax and Anlin should all be available in California and they make a good quality product at a nice price point. Have the local dealers or companies come out and give you a bid and compare how the window looks to your current Renewals. Marvin Infinity is a fiberglass window, but it should look somewhat similar to the Renewal as well.

Anlin Windows Costs By Sizes

Our recent American Vision windows cost quote on the Anlin Del Mar series took our breath away! To summarize, out of 25 replacement windows plus 8 sliding (Malibu) doors and 1 single French door, our quote was $55,224. But the rep gave us enough credit to drop it down to $42,860! Examples were 31" X 78" single French door $1959 + $500 installation. A 94" X 78" OXXO slider $2990 + $500 installation. Three tiny 12" X 28" stationary glass replacements were each $400 + $175 installation. Needless to say, we will continue to shop for bids.

Krissy - Homeowner - from 2016

[Site Editor's Answer]

Krissy, it does sound like the bid was higher than it should have been, although I will say that patio doors can be expensive, especially for custom sizes etc.

You have the right idea though, keep getting bids until you find the product, company and price that is right for you. The bids are free and they come to your house, so why not collect as many bids as you need to to get to right!
