Top 5 Factors Affecting Window Replacement Cost

How much do new windows cost? This depends on a number of factors, like the materials being used, which company is installing them and more.

Read on as we share a quick guide to window replacement pricing:

1. Material

One of the first decisions you’ll make when replacing windows is the frame material. Some of the most popular materials are fiberglass, vinyl and wood. Each has its own set of pros and cons, including performance qualities, window type and hardware types and cost.

2. Installation Cost

DIY is not recommended for window installation given the complexity of the project. It is much better to hire a trusted replacement windows professional. Yes, this is an added expense, but you risk paying much more down the line if you do it yourself and wind up with a faulty window that needs repairs or replacement.

3. Type of Glass

The size and quality of the glass also affect the cost of windows. Choosing high-performance, low-E glass will cost more, but remember you’ll save money on energy.

4. Warranty and Certifications

Most window manufacturers offer a guarantee on their products. It is more expensive to install replacement windows that come with warranties and certifications. With a warranty, you’ll know for sure that any issues you run into with your windows will be fixed.

5. Window Size

Pricing is heavily influenced by the size of the window. When it comes to windows, larger windows with more glass, such as sliding windows, allow for more light to come in, but they are more expensive.
