What is The Replacement Price For 7 Of The Most Popular Window Types?

As a homeowner, you will find that replacement price for your windows varies a great deal. A major factor in replacement windows prices is the type -- that is, the style or material used in their manufacture.

So, what are the most popular window types and what is the price of replacement?

  1. Single or double hung. Single or double hung windows consist of one or two movable sashes, respectively, which hold the panes. While double hung are the most common, single hung windows are about 50 percent cheaper. Average price to replace double hung windows is about $150-$650, while single hung cost approximately $100-$400.

  2. Sliding. Though sliding windows are rather similar to single and double hung types, the major difference is that their sash opens horizontally instead of vertically. Average price to replace sliding windows is in the ballpark of $150-$800.

  3. Picture. Often fixed in place, picture windows are extra-large sized. These attractive windows usually look out on a lovely view. Average replacement price for a new picture window is between $60 and $700.

  4. Bay. Bay windows are a decorative style, consisting of 2 small windows flanking a larger one (which is often a picture window). Average price for bay window replacement will be around $600-$2,500.

  5. Bow. Closely related to bays, bow windows are slightly different in that they are generally made up of 5 (or more) same-sized panes Average price for bow window replacement is $1,000-$4,500.

  6. Casement. Casement windows are operated with a crank. When opened to their fullest extent, they provide an extra wide opening. Average price of casement window replacement can run from $150-$1,000.

  7. Custom. Custom windows come in unusual sizes and shapes. For example, they may be circular, hexagonal or crescent shaped. Cost to replace custom windows varies widely, from about $500 to $5,000 or more.

GOOD TO KNOW: Replacement glass will cost less than replacing the entire window; check with your window installation company whether this is a feasible option for you.

Another differential is the average price of wood vs vinyl windows. Wood costs roughly twice as much as vinyl, but has better insulating qualities.

If you’re willing to pay a premium price, consider an upgrade to a more stylish or energy saving window type. Research the offerings of large suppliers such as Andersen and Pella to find your dream windows.
