2026 project cost guide

Impact window cost

Impact-rated products are a separate project category because their product and installation requirements can differ from standard replacement windows.

Quick answer

A standard-vinyl planning range for this scope is $925–$1,825 per window installed. The range is for planning—not a substitute for an on-site proposal.

Scope first

Ask whether the proposal is an insert replacement, a complete full-frame scope, or another approach. The names are not interchangeable.

One removal rule

Removal and disposal are added once per replacement window in the master rate card—not hidden in multiple line items.

Local conditions

Opening condition, access, permits, weather exposure, and regional labor can all affect a written project estimate.
