Wood replacement windows cost around $600-$1,500 for a standard 3 ft. x 5 ft. window in 2023.

1. Window Style and Size

The style and size of your replacement windows are one of the largest factors that affect the cost of your project. 

For example, a double-hung window is more expensive than a single-hung window. Bay and bow will be more expensive than casement windows. 

The larger a window is and the more complex it functions, the more it will cost. 

 

2. Window Energy-Efficiency

Energy-efficient windows with added energy-efficient upgrades increase the cost of the window. The more energy-efficient a window is, the more it costs.

Things to add to your windows that make them more energy-efficient include tinted glass coatings, gas-filled window panes, and multiple-paned windows. Each of these additions will add to the cost of the window. 

 

3. Window Customizations

Every added customization to your windows will add to the overall cost of your project. 

Common things you can customize on replacement windows are the interior and exterior frame color, hardware style and finish, grid patterns, and glass type. Every customization that deviates from the standard window manufactured adds to the overall cost. 

 

4. Window Installation

If you want your window to be installed well and last, it will cost more because of the cost of high-quality labor. A lower-quality window installation will cost less. 

This is why you must keep your wants, goals, and needs in mind to choose the best window replacement contractor for you. 

 

5. Window Warranty

A window warranty protects your replacement windows from any potential damage that may happen in the future while you live in your home. 

The longer your warranty lasts and the better the warranty coverage, the more it will cost because it is a higher-quality warranty. A warranty with less coverage and a shorter period typically comes with a cheaper window.
