Single pane glass windows are the standard type in older homes in State College. When one of them breaks, here’s what you’ll pay to replace just the glassor --if needed -- the entire window, frame included.
Average cost is $3.00 or more per square foot for the glass pane itself.
Labor fees for installation can run to an additional $50-$75.
Cost will increase for replacement of unusually large or oddly shaped windows (for example, front door panels), as well as specialty window glass— such as plate glass, stained glass, or frosted glass.
Tempered glass costs between $12 and $14 a square foot for material, plus labor charge for installation.
Although tempered glass is more costly, it is very strong and if broken, won’t be as likely to hurt anyone nearby.
When there is extensive damage to the window frame, so that you need to replace the entire window unit, expect to pay between about $280 and $460 for replacement.
Beautiful as they are, historic homes often have irregularly sized components ... and their windows are no exception. You will likely need to order a custom replacement if one of these windows becomes damaged. The cost will probably start at $300 and may top $3,000.
