How Our Window Replacement Cost Estimator Works
1. Select the type of window. This gives us an intial price for our replacement windows cost calculator to work from.
2. Select the frame style. Our windows cost estimator then adds the type of window and window frame for a base window price.
Let’s say, for example, you select a double hung vinyl window – our windows cost estimator adds $150 (DH) and $100 (Vinyl) for a base price of $250. This isn’t exactly how window manufacturers price out windows, but this allows users to choose from over 50 different combinations of types and frames of windows.
3. Select a window manufacturer. There are three choices; economy, mid range and high end. The economy choice does not change the price (as this is the base or entry level price).
The mid range option multiplies the base price by 1.5. Using our example, the mid range price of double hung vinyl is $375.
The high end option multiplies the base price by 2.75. The high end price for the DH vinyl is $687.
4. Select window installation cost. Do it yourself adds $25 to the number of windows selected in the next question. The professional option is a bit more complicated — it takes the manufacturer selection and assumes that if you purchase entry level widows, then would you spend less on installation. Conversely, if you choose high end manufacturer, it assumes that you would spend more money to insure the best installation. You know what they say about not assuming, but it probably is fairly accurate. Entry level professional installation is $100 per window. Mid range professional installation is $175 per window. High end professional installation is $250 per window.
5. Select the number of windows. This simply multiplies your total by the number of windows you select. If our replacement window cost estimator was a bit more sophisticated, we would reduce down the cost as the number of windows increased, but
