Rough ranges (our estimates)

These are our estimates for budgeting, scaled around the national benchmark. Real quotes depend on your house.

Project	Estimated range per window, installed
Standard vinyl insert, double-hung	$700–$1,500 (value lines) up to ~$2,200 (benchmark spec)
Fiberglass or composite	$1,200–$2,800
Wood or aluminum-clad wood	$1,500–$3,500+
Bay or bow window	$3,500–$10,000+
Sliding patio door	$2,000–$6,000+

What pushes the price up

Full-frame vs insert: full-frame removes trim and frames and costs more.
Size, shape and style: custom sizes, casements, bays and specialty shapes cost more than standard double-hungs.
Glass package: triple-pane, laminated or special coatings.
Access: second-story and hard-to-reach windows.
Rot repair, lead-safe work (homes built before 1978) and exterior capping.

How to compare quotes

Get the brand, product line and glass spec (U-factor, SHGC) in writing for each quote.
Confirm insert vs full-frame and whether interior/exterior trim is included.
Compare product and labor warranties separately.
Be wary of "today only" pricing and high-pressure in-home sales.
Avoid paying most of the price up front.
