How this is calculated

  • Unit cost = frame material + glass package upgrade.
  • Install cost = labour + full-frame premium (if any) + exterior capping.
  • Per window, installed = unit cost + install cost.
  • Project total = (per window × count) + disposal.

Before you order

  • The defaults are national mid-range figures for a standard-size double-hung. Regional labour rates move the installation line more than anything else on this page.
  • Insert replacement keeps the existing frame and is cheaper. Full-frame tear-out is the honest answer when the frame is rotten, and it is the line most quotes differ on.
  • Odd sizes, bays, bows, arches and anything needing structural work are not covered by a per-unit figure like this.
  • Lead-safe work practices are required by law on housing built before 1978 and add cost. If a quote does not mention it on an older house, ask.
