On average, window replacement costs for a medium-sized window vary between $1,000 and $1,500. Of course, the exact amount depends on a lot of parameters and the complexity of the work.
The total cost for replacing a window varies according to several factors, such as the window material, number of windows, window frames, the type of window, size, insulation requirements, your zip code, local labor costs, and the finishing details – to name a few.
There is also a range of window styles available, each offering different levels of energy efficiency and looks
Let’s explore some of the window options for your home.
Windows allow natural light to flood your rooms and let in fresh air to help keep it dry. They enhance both the indoor and outdoor appeal of your home, helping you define the style of your house.
Apart from the aesthetics, replacing your old, drafty windows and doors will also make your house more energy-efficient – and impress potential buyers. What’s more, installing new energy-saving windows guarantees one of the best ROIs you can make on your home – up to 80% of your investment costs!
A well-installed, beautiful window improves the look, value, and comfort factors of your property.
