Clerestory windows cost will vary considerably, but they are certainly at the very top of the replacement windows cost spectrum. This is because clerestory windows are almost always custom made and will typically involve some level of demo, carpentry and finish work from an experienced contractor. We provide a general cost guideline below but the best way to find out the fair market price for your project is to collect a series of bids from local companies. This is going to tell you what you can expect better than we can.
Clerestory Windows Cost | Entry Level
Entry level clerestory windows will consist of 3 or 4 narrow windows that utilize clear or low-e window glass. They will usually be smaller fixed frame windows that do not allow for ventilation – and are therefore less expensive than operable stlyes.
Suggested Price Range: $1500 to $2500 installed
Clerestory Windows Prices | Mid Range
Standard clerestory windows will have 3, 4, 5 fiberglass windows or possibly wood windows, although certainly a high end vinyl brand could sneak into this price range. They will often be medium sized and have double pane or triple pane glass that may or may not have foam insulation. A mid grade option may or may not have adjustable windows on the edge windows such as a casement style.
Suggested Price Range: $2500 to $4500 installed
Clerestory Windows Prices | Premium
Premium projects might involve 4, 5, or 6 windows placed equi-distance apart. Often, these more expensive projects will be fiberglass or wood clad windows from well known brands (Pella, Andersen, Marvin, etc.) and will usually have some custom options or configurations involved. At this price point, you can expect high quality window glass (double or triple paned), complete with gas fills and foam insulation. High end options may use adjustable windows such as casement or awning to increase ventilation and air flow through the room.
Suggested Price Range: $4500 to $6500 installed
Clerestory Installation Costs
Homeowners can expect to pay $1000 to $2500 for clerestory window installation. This is a good sized project that can be tricky due to the location of the windows and the skill needed to implement it correctly. The top end of this installation cost spectrum will involve actually opening or reducing down the “hole” for the framing and windows to be installed into. This can get very expensive due to the amount of labor required.
Installation Pricing: $1000 to $2500
