What does window replacement cost?
$450 – $1,200 per window installed for standard vinyl replacement — about $4,500 – $12,000 for a typical 10-window home.
Wood, fiberglass, and oversized or specialty shapes run $1,200–$2,800+ per window. Most homes don't need every window done at once — pros will prioritize the worst ones.

What moves your price
Full-frame vs. insert
Insert replacements (keeping the existing frame) cost 20–35% less. Full-frame is required if there's rot or water damage.
Floor height
Second-story windows add ladder or scaffold labor on every unit.
How many at once
Per-window price drops meaningfully on whole-home jobs — installers price the trip, not just the window.
Glass package
Low-E double pane is standard now. Triple pane adds $100–$300 per window and mostly pays off in cold climates.

What is the window replacement cost per window?
Window replacement commonly costs $450 - $1,200 per window installed for many standard vinyl double-pane replacements. Fiberglass, composite, wood, full-frame work, specialty shapes, bay/bow windows, or premium national-brand programs can reach $1,500 - $3,000+ per window.
Read cost guideHow much does Renewal by Andersen cost per window?
Renewal by Andersen cost per window commonly comes in at $1,500–$3,000+ installed — a 10-window home typically runs $15,000–$30,000. That's 1.5–2.5x what a quality local installer charges for equivalent-performing windows. The premium reflects their full-service estimate, proprietary Fibrex frame material, and factory-direct installation division — not just the glass.

Andersen window projects can range from $700 - $2,500+ per window installed depending on the product line, size, material, glass, and installer. Renewal by Andersen, the separate full-service replacement division, commonly quotes higher at about $1,500 - $3,000+ per window installed.
Read cost guideWhat do Champion windows cost?
Champion Windows quotes typically come in at $800–$1,800 per window installed for standard double-hung vinyl, with specialty shapes or larger sizes running higher. A typical 8–10 window home runs $8,000–$18,000. They manufacture their own windows and use their own crews — eliminating the dealer middleman but still carrying a sales overhead that pushes prices above independent installers.
Read cost guideWhat do double-pane windows cost?
Double-pane vinyl windows run $450 – $1,200 per window installed, or roughly $4,500 – $12,000 for a 10-window home. They're the standard for good reason — the gap between double and single-pane is dramatic. The gap between double and triple-pane is much smaller and mainly matters in very cold climates.
Read cost guideWhat does basement window replacement cost?
Standard basement window (hopper style) replacement runs $250 – $800 installed. Glass block runs $400 – $900. An egress window — required for any basement bedroom — costs $2,500 – $5,500 installed including the well and excavation.
Read cost guideWhat does window glass replacement cost?
Replacing just the glass unit (called an IGU) in a window with a solid frame costs $150 – $400 per window. A full window replacement — frame and all — runs $450 – $1,200 per window. If your windows look foggy or cloudy between the panes, that's a failed seal, and swapping the IGU often fixes it without touching the frame.
