Windows Frequently Asked Questions

1. What is the average cost to replace windows?

Typically, window replacement costs anywhere from $200 to $2,000 per window. The price depends on the window frame, the kind of glass it has, the style of the space and the overall labor cost for the replacement. According to Hanley Wood's Cost vs.Value report (2020), the national average cost of a vinyl window replacement job with 10 windows is $17,641.

2. Should I replace all the house windows at once?

Often, the more windows you install at once, the cheaper the entire project will end up being. If you replace your windows all at once, they will also age at approximately the same rate, and you will be able to save money the next time you need to replace your windows as well. Many companies offer financing options whether you'd like to do all the windows at once or break the project up into phases. If you do your window replacement in phases, it's best to do it by sections of the house (front, back, sides).

3. What are Low-E windows?

Low-E glass coatings minimize the amount of ultraviolet light that can pass through glass. They stop extra heat or light energy from passing through without restricting the visible light that enters the home through the window. This coating helps to make the window more energy-efficient.

4. Is window replacement worth it?

When it comes to increasing your home's energy efficiency, you will likely end up saving money in heating and energy bills when you replace your home's windows. Window replacement is worth the investment if you plan on staying in your home for several years, you have windows that are difficult to open or close, or are experiencing temperature variations in the house due to inefficient windows. New windows will be easy to operate, offer better energy performance, and will help regulate the temperature in your house.
