Frequently Asked Questions
How much does window replacement cost?
Window replacement averages $85 per window installed. Standard double-hung vinyl windows cost $300-$700 each. Premium materials like wood or fiberglass can exceed $1,000 per window. Whole-house projects qualify for bulk discounts.
Should I repair or replace old windows?
Replace if windows are 15-20+ years old, have broken seals (foggy glass), won't open/close, or cause high energy bills. Repair if frames are solid, glass is intact, and issues are minor (weather-stripping, hardware).
What are the most energy-efficient windows?
Look for ENERGY STAR rated windows with Low-E glass, argon gas fills, and quality frames. Double-pane minimum, triple-pane for cold climates. Proper installation is as important as window quality for energy efficiency.
How long does window installation take?
Professional installers replace 8-10 windows per day. Single windows take 30-60 minutes each. Whole-house projects take 1-3 days. Custom sizes or structural repairs extend timelines.
Do new windows increase home value?
Quality window replacement recoups 70-80% of costs at resale. Benefits include improved curb appeal, energy savings ($100-$500/year), noise reduction, and UV protection. Best ROI comes from replacing visibly damaged windows.
