How much do replacement windows cost?▾

Vinyl double-hung windows cost $300-700 each installed. Wood frames cost $500-1,200+. Bay windows run $1,200-3,500. Total project cost for a whole house (15-20 windows) typically ranges from $5,000-15,000 for vinyl or $10,000-25,000 for wood/fiberglass.

Are energy-efficient windows worth it?▾

Which frame material is best?▾

Vinyl: best value, low maintenance, 20-30 year lifespan. Fiberglass: premium performance, 30-50 years. Wood: classic aesthetics, requires maintenance, 30+ years. Aluminum: cheapest but poor insulation. For most homeowners, vinyl or fiberglass offers the best balance.
