Windows and Doors Contractors Near You

What's involved in a window or door installation?

A number of factors affect window and door installation projects. Homeowners usually replace existing windows. However, if the window or door frame is damaged or rotting, the window installer must build a new one. Another option is having a window space created. This project can be expensive. It is subject to the structural plans of your home. Window and door installation costs change based on window and door casings, window and door frames, and different materials.

How much does an installation cost?

Windows and doors are priced based on style, size, insulation, material, and installation. Modern windows use UV blocking technology to protect your furniture, skin, and flooring. It's a good idea to invest in multi-pane, gas filled windows to maximize energy savings.
On average, you can expect to pay the following rough amounts for window and doors (materials plus installation):

• Basement windows: $450-$800
• Bedroom/kitchen windows: $800-$1,600
• Living room windows: $1,800-$3,000
• Bay window: $2,800-$3,000
• Glass sliding doors: up to $1,600

We recommend that homeowners put aside a contingency fund of 10 – 20% in case the project goes over budget due to unforeseen circumstances.

Is this a DIY project?

We strongly advise against DIY-ing window installations. If you make a mistake and there is a leak, you may damage the window, or your home interior.
