| | | Replacing old, drafty windows can brighten and update a home while cutting energy bills by as much as 25 percent. | | |
| Typical costs: | - Expect to pay an average of $300-$700 per window for replacements placed inside existing (and structurally intact) window frames, but it could go as high as $1,000 per window, for a range of $3,000-$10,000 for a one-story, three-bedroom home with 10 windows. Larger, two-story homes with more windows can run $10,000-$20,000. Double- and triple-glazed windows, or those filled with argon gas increase energy savings but bump the cost to the higher end of the scale.
- If the existing window frame is rotted or damaged in any way, the frame must be rebuilt. This are called new construction windows, and can cost as much as 50-100 percent more than replacement windows, or $5,000-$40,000 for completely rebuilding all the windows in a home.
What should be included: | - A window installer should remove the existing windows, install the new ones, cleanup and dispose of the old windows, and wash the new windows. Estimates are usually based on united inches, which is equal to the sum of the length and width of each window; a 40x55-inch window is 95 united inches. HomeTime.com gives quick definitions of standard window terms, such as apron, casing, glazing, mullion and more.
- Vinyl windows are usually the least expensive; other window framing materials include wood, aluminum, steel and Fiberglas. DoItYourself.com provides an overview.
- Better Homes & Gardens lists 25 things to know about windows in general, while DoItYourself.com discusses distinctive window shapes that can add "personality" to a home.
- An energy star label means greater savings on heating and air conditioning; the American Council for an Energy Efficient Economy explains exactly what's needed for an energy-efficient window and the Efficient Window Collaborative compares different types of windows based on regional climate conditions. Top energy efficiency may mean different types of windows on different sides of the same home, depending on sun and weather exposure.
Additional costs: | - Extensive dry rot or other damage around existing windows may require repairs before new windows can be installed; the cost will depend on the amount and type of work needed.
- Be sure the estimate includes disposing of the old windows.
- Replacing non-standard-sized windows requires either custom windows or enlarging the old opening to accommodate a larger standard size, which can up costs by 50-100 percent per window.
Discounts: | - When dealing with non-standard-sized windows, check with many manufacturers; your window might be a nonstandard size for one but standard for another, which saves the cost of enlarging the window opening.
- Some people purchase windows through a local home improvement store or other outlet, then save money by hiring a local handyman to install them. Be sure the handyman has the skills and experience needed to do a thorough, well-sealed and leak-proof job.
- Installing windows yourself may save $35-$100 or more per window, but be sure you understand all the moisture and weatherproofing requirements; mistakes can lead to dry rot or other problems.
Shopping for replacement windows: | - For ideas on what type of windows would look and function best, check the photo galleries provided by manufacturers Pella, Milgard and Andersen. Other companies, large and small, are listed with the Window and Door Manufacturers Association. Manufacturers' websites provide links to local companies who sell and install their products.
- Replacement windows with or without professional installation are available through Lowe's.
- Get estimates from several companies. Ask for and contact references, check for complaints with the Better Business Bureau and make sure the company is properly bonded and insured. A deposit will be required, but don't pay the full amount until the job is finished to your complete satisfaction, especially when hiring a local handyman to do the installation.

I install 1-5 windows per day, full frame replacement. The windows are double-hung 3449's. Windows are pretty easy to install, you'll save half or more. A 10 year old child could be taught how to properly flash and seal a window, seriously.
I was a framing carpenter for 13 years and replacing windows was always a cash cow for me. I'd charge $200-$500 for removal and installation ONLY, not including paint or interior finish and knock out 5 or more per day, including second or third story windows. If you are handy at all, look into doing it yourself. |

At first we were quoted 7,995 then when we said that was out of our budget we were then quoted 4,995 (still out of our budget) We then had to choose the second lowest in quality window to get a quote of 3,995.....still slightly over our budget. When I asked if there was anyway he could decrease it by 400.00 he said "Can I leave my sign in your yard longer?" We said sure and the deal was made for 3,500.

He must have thought we were filthy rich or suckers. After we walked around our home and measured each window, we expecting the Kelanar sales rep to give an estimate between $10,000 to $20,000 for all 17 of our windows. His estimate was waaaay over what we expected and about 25 percent of the house value. We did not go with Kelanar. There was a lot of pressure when they give a big discount to sign right away and the sales rep would take off $10,000 if we signed that night. They say they manufacture the windows but we saw the brochure of \'Ply Gem\' and confronted him. When we tried to get a itemized amount of price per window installed, taxes and all fees, but he said we\'d have to work for Kelanar to see that and they need to make a profit. \"Yo quiero mis chocolate oscuro, pero mis cuentas claras.\" I like my cholocate dark but my bills clear.
At the beginning, he said other companies do the bait and switch, but Kelanar are straight shooters and there are no hidden fees and he doesn\'t get much commission, but he must have been marking up the price per window by 18-20%!

We do have some big windows but we think it shouldn\'t cost that much and thought he was trying to markup the prices.
We\'re going to shrink wrap a couple windows to see if that helps, ask around who others used, and check the prices at Home Depot. |

Windows are energy efficient and qualify for tax credit. I saw a lot of windows as having similar features, all were energy efficient, but belive the installation makes the difference. This company had highly qualified installers, and we can feel the difference in energy efficiency, compared to windows we had installed by a local contractor...he obviously didn't know what he was doing, so we are having Homesealed reinstall those windows for us.

| Installer: C & L Ward |
Bought the house in April of 09. Discovered this winter just how bad the original windows are, as in there\'s a major draft in the living room, upstairs hall and our daughter\'s room. We chose to go with C & L Ward after visiting their show room at the local mall. We felt that the quote, which includes installation, clean up, caulking, and replacement of any casings that have molded/rotted out.
I have heard of the company, but not heard anything bad about them. Two of my other choices I found nothing but bad about them. Also, I would rather not be the one ripping out or installing new windows as I would probably screw it up and then have to pay 2x any savings by the DYI project to have them fixed.
All 15 windows are tax credit qualifying. Price includes a discount to match the tax credit. 2010 isn\'t in the option box yet, but that is when we purchased them, not 2009. |

| I just got an estimate from Allgood construction, which is a company serving N.C. and specializing in vinyl replacement windows, doors, storm doors. I have 29 windows in my home. One of which is a picture window measuring 9 feet wide by 5 feet tall. I also need 21 sets of shutters and 2 storm doors. They have quoted me what I think is a great price of $13,700! They will also replace any rotten or damaged wood around the window frame free of charge. No matter what problem they may run into during installation, I will not be asked for a dime more than my estimate. No money at all is due until the job is completed to my satisfaction. The products they quoted me for are excellent quality, double hung windows that tilt in for cleaning on both the top and bottom windows. They are also gas filled for energy saving and qualify for the full $1500 tax exemption. They also, get this, guarantee all of it for life. If my grandson happens to break one of the windows with a baseball, they'll come out and replace it with a new one. If I notice any at all wrong with the workmanship or products during my lifetime, they will replace it free. They've been in business 51 years and plan to be around many, many more they say. They check out well with the BBB. I guess with the bad economy, folks have realized they need to offer better deals. I think I'll take advantage of this one. |

I just had our windows installed by Clear Choice this week. Just after the installation I noticed a huge difference in room temperature. I think I am going to use much less gas to heat my home. The company did for me everything I was told and expected. The quality is very good, installation went very good, and I have a transferable liftetime warranty.
Now I had several estimates from local companies and was amazed how the cost of windows is so different from company to company. My highest estimate was $3450. My Lowest was for 1800.
I felt most Clear Choice was the most honest, upfront and they are locally owned but have a national chain to stand behind them. In this economy you never know when some of these companies might go out of business. With location throuoght the US if we need service and they are not here locaaly, we have somewhere to turn to.

| Our windows were 20 years old and needed to be replaced. We got three quotes. Sears - originally $13,000 but came down to $10,800. Home Depot - Initial quote $16,000, but came down to $9,400. Champion - Initial quote $17,000, applied a bunch of discounts, I said no, and then they got down to $7,200. Of the three windows we saw, Champion had the most energy efficient and has foam insullation between the frame. The other two did not have any insullation inside the frame. Champion also uses spray foam insullation between the wall and window when installing the windows. They also replace the rotten wood trim outside of your windows with new trim and then put the vinyl wrap around it. I feel we got the best product for the best price. That averages out to $480 per window installed. Then we get the $1500 tax credit and $450 back from our local electric company. I think we did pretty well! |

Any homeowner that would pay more than 300.00 for 1 window with Lo-e, outside trim, and install is crazy, with all the companies that give lifetime warranties, glass breakage warranties in this price range and still turn a profit to stay in bus.. Most of the larger named companies that charge 500.00 plus are just lining thier pockets with your money. Before you buy your windows from any company do your homework on the windows and the company before you decide ie. talk to references and the manufacturer if possible and get everthing in writing including etimmated install dates. |

I believe you can find a window installer for less than $8000.00 dollars. So please do some research before buying anything.

| We contracted with Clear Choice Windows of South Bend for our replacement window purchase. We have had several estimates from various companies in the area. Clear Choice gave us the best value at a reasonable price. We wanted triple pane windows. clear choice quoted 429.00 per triple pane double hung window, others were between 200-700 additional per window. The clear choice signature series window is high quality and lifetime warranty. The installation went perfect, our home is quieter than ever before and the air runs about half the time it use to with the old windows. Great Investment! Plus we get our 1500.00 tax credit! |

STAY AWAY FROM WINDOW WORLD!
We purchased 10 windows in April 2010 from the window world in granger indiana. At first we thought we were getting a great window at a great price. We were wrong. The windows if properly installed may be good, but the bad install makes our NEW windows very hard to open. They look good but are not user friendly. We can not get them to fix the bad installation. They say our house has settled and that's why our windows don't operate right. That's BS. Window World does not stand behind there windows or service. If you use this company make sure the windows are operating with ease before the installers finish. |

Felco Windows

| Numbre of Windows: 11 | Number Lineal Inches: |
| Brand: Feldco Windows | Window Type: Double Hung |
| Installer: Feldco Windows |
| I have purchased our windows from feldco. Our experience at first was ok. The salesman was great. The windows looked nice. When the windows were installed I noticed that the installers did not insulate around the window, they just put window in opening and finished with caulk and trim. When I asked thre installer about it he said that the insulation was not needed with this type of installation. My neibors had the same windows, same company and the installers insulated there windows, the same old windows came out. Bottom line is the charged us 630 per window and refuse to redo install and insulate around our windows. I ended up hiring a handyman to remove indide trim and insulate, replace trim and recaulk inside of windows. this took 2.5 hours and cost me 25 per window more. |
