Typical cost per window (installed)
- Basic vinyl (common sizes): $500 – $1,200
- Mid-range (better glass/frames): $900 – $2,000
- Premium (wood/fiberglass/large): $1,800 – $4,000+
Insert vs full-frame replacement
- Insert: faster, often cheaper, keeps existing frame if it’s in great shape.
- Full-frame: better long-term if there’s rot; more labor.
