How much should I charge for window replacement?+
Most window replacement is priced $300–$1,500 per window, with a typical rate around $650 per window. Where you land inside that range comes down mainly to window type (double-hung, casement, bay, custom) and frame material (vinyl, fiberglass, wood). Use the range as your anchor, then adjust up for experience, strong demand, and a higher cost-of-living area.
What is the best way to price window replacement?+
Most window replacement is priced per window, which is easy for clients to understand. Set a clear minimum so small jobs still cover your time and travel, and bundle add-ons into packages to lift the average ticket rather than discounting.
How much should I charge for window replacement as a beginner?+
Starting out, price near the lower end of the range, roughly $300 to $650 per window. Resist going below that to win work: a price that is too low attracts price-shoppers, signals low quality, and is hard to raise later. Once you have a few happy clients and reviews, move toward $1,500.
What affects how much window replacement costs?+
The biggest factors are window type (double-hung, casement, bay, custom); frame material (vinyl, fiberglass, wood); glass package (double vs triple pane, low-E); whether the opening needs reframing. Two jobs that look alike can price very differently once these are accounted for, which is why a quick walkthrough or a few questions before quoting protects your rate.
How do I quote window replacement so the client says yes?+
Price per window but quote the whole project, and offer a per-window discount that rewards doing the whole house at once. Lead with the energy savings and the look, because a window is a long-term upgrade, not a repair. Put the quote in writing with exactly what is included, state the price once without apologizing for it, and give one clear next step. A confident, well-structured quote wins jobs at a higher price than a vague one at a lower price.
