Window Replacement Cost Guide for 2026
What you should expect to pay per window, the factors that move the price, and how to avoid overpaying.
Typical pricing
Most homeowners pay between $450 and $1,500 per window installed, depending on frame material, glass package, and the size of the opening.
What drives the price
- Frame material — vinyl is most affordable; fiberglass and composite cost more but last longer
- Glass package — double- vs triple-pane and low-E coatings
- Installation complexity — full-frame replacements cost more than insert installs
How to avoid overpaying
- Get at least three quotes
- Compare warranty terms, not just price
- Ask whether installation is in-house or subcontracted
