Cost of replacement windows in Stillwater, MN

Cost of replacement windows in Stillwater, MN

Windows and their installation can vary significantly in price depending on several factors.

My objective is to provide you with information that enables you to assess the windows in your home and generate an estimate of the average cost per opening.

The average home in Stillwater is around 2000 sq ft and this applies to that type of home, give or take.

With that said you will pay around $1500 -$2000 per opening for top quality vinyl window installed and finished out.

You will pay around $2500 - $3500 per opening for fiberglass exterior and wood interior.

Aluminum windows are the highest price Tag where you can go up another notch starting around $3500 per opening finished out.

The average home with 16 windows give or take will pay around $25K to $40K depending on window and trim quality. Unless you are working on a rental project I would keep on the higher side of this spectrum and my advice even then is to go with high quality installations.

In this discussion, I will address factors that can reduce costs.

·        Replacing windows and siding together lowers window costs due to easier installation.

·        Ground-level windows.

·        Exterior trim separate from the window and siding makes installation easier if it can be removed.

·        Reusable existing trim.

·        Smaller sized windows less than 30”

Circumstances that increase costs:

·        Changing window sizes always raises costs.

·        Current house siding affects labor costs: stucco is difficult, vinyl is easy; Hardy is harder than LP smartside.

·        Window height and access level affect difficulty and cost.

·        Windows over about 60” or windows that must be built to fit like bay and bow windows.
