Understanding what drives the cost of replacing window can save you from surprises. Here are the main factors:

Pick your style in Step 2.
Window Installation Type
The method of window installation significantly impacts the overall cost and suitability for your project:
Retrofit Installation: A budget-friendly option where new windows are installed within the existing frames. This works well when the original frames are still in good condition.
Brick-to-Brick Installation: Ideal for older homes or when you want a complete replacement. This method removes the old frame entirely, exposing the brick opening, and allows for maximum insulation and energy efficiency.
Stud-to-Stud Installation: A comprehensive approach that removes the entire window unit, including the frame, down to the studs. This is perfect for extensive renovations or when frames are damaged and need full replacement.
Window Color
The standard window color is white. For all other colors, window frames and sashes need to be spray painted before assembly, which adds extra cost. Check the painted window cost in Step 3.
Window Glass Options
The type of glass you choose impacts both the price and energy efficiency of your windows:
Double-Pane Glass: Offers a good balance of insulation and affordability.
Triple-Pane Glass: Provides superior insulation and noise reduction but comes at a higher cost.
Low-E Coatings: Reflect heat to improve energy efficiency, adding to upfront costs but lowering energy bills over time.
Argon Gas Filling: Increases insulation between panes for better thermal performance, often included with energy-efficient windows.
You can pick glass options in Step 3.
