Hometech Windows and Doors Inc Average Cost of Window Replacement | Page 4

What are the factors that determine the cost of
window replacement?
To get a feel of what window replacement will bite off your budget, you want to consider
these factors:
 Extent of frame damage: Window frames rot and damage from moisture and insects.
You can inspect the extent of damage on your window frames or have the experts do it
for you. Touch the frame and see if it is too soft to touch, looks worn out or cracked. If
it is solid, you can thank the gods because you won’t need to pay for the installation
costs twice.
 Material of construction: Generally, wood windows are more expensive
(approximately $800 - $1000) than vinyl windows (around $450 - $600). Other
averagely-priced materials include aluminum and metal.
 Type and style of the window: These come in their numbers including sliding, awning,
stationary, transom, casement, bay, and picture.
