If your wondering how much replacement windows cost in Massachusetts or Rhode Island then you came to the right place. It seems that most homeowners are upset that replacement window companies will not give them a price unless they meet with both homeowners for a 1-3 hour window presentation.
While I feel that a "to the penny" price can not be given until the actual job is visited and the window options are discussed with the homeowners, this list of prices hold up on about 90% of our window installations. I created a list of prices for "Grade A windows", "Grade B windows" and "Grade C windows. Our company does not sell "Grade D- Grade F" windows, if you want cheap windows that will fail in a few years shop somewhere else!
Grade C Windows are generally used in apartments, condos and homes that are going on the market. They are sort of the "Ford Escort" of replacement windows, they don't fall apart but they lack some of the features and benefits of more expensive windows.
Grade C Double Hung Replacement Window Prices
1-3 Windows $500 each
4-8 Windows $460 each
9-12 Windows $420 each
13-19 Windows $380 each
20-30 Windows $350 each
Grade B Windows are generally for homeowners that require a really good window that offers some features. The windows also provide really good double pane glass with good energy saving ratings.
Grade B Double Hung Replacement Window Prices
1-3 Windows $650 each
4-8 Windows $610 each
9-12 Windows $570 each
13-19 Windows $550 each
20-30 Windows $530 each
Grade A replacement windows are for homeowners that are looking for an investment grade window. These windows come with a great warranty and offer triple pane glass for really good energy savings. Grade A windows are generally used if you plan to live in your home for at least 5-10 years. Since the windows will save you money on your heating and cooling bills, over time the money that you save will pay for the cost of the windows.
Grade A Double Hung Replacement Window Prices
1-3 Windows $855 each
4-8 Windows $795 each
9-12 Windows $755 Each
13-19 Windows $735 Each
20-30 Windows $715 Each
Replacement Window Options
Grills/Grids $20 per sash (a sash is the glass and the glass frame, for example double hungs have two sashes while a casement window only has one).
New exterior 2" PVC Brickmold trim (doesn't rot like wood and does not require painting but you can paint it if you like). $75-$100 per window.
New PVC window sill ( if the outer part of the bottom of your window has rot, we can replace it with PVC so rot will never be an issue again). $20-$40 per window
New interior stops ( the 1.25"-2.5" wood that holds the inside of your windows in place). $20-$30 per window.
New interior Ranch or Colonial moldings $40-60 per window.
As you can see from our price list, the more windows that you buy the better your price is. Our setup, take down and production times are generally reduced on larger jobs and we pass these saving back to you. While the prices her will hold up about 90% of the time we do require a brief visit to your home to confirm sizes, options and to judge how easy or difficult the installation will be.
In reference to the replacement window options list, about 70% of our replacement window installations only require the base price plus grills/grids if you want them. If your interior or exterior trim is falling apart then you can look at the option list for a price.
All of the prices on this page include:
A permit from your town.
Delivery of your new windows.
Removal of your existing windows.
Disposal of you existing windows at a proper landfill.
All taxes.
Our goal is to provide you with our replacement window prices up front so you will have a feel for your project cost before you even call us to set up an appointment! We understand that your time is worth money and we know that our time is worth money. We feel that useless 1-3 hour window presentations will waste every one's time if you don't have a clue what our product will cost you.
Six months ago I began giving out prices over the phone and almost everyone of my clients since have loved the fact that my prices over the phone are the same prices that I quote when I get to their home. The quoted prices are also the same prices that are on the contract since we don't have any hidden charges! If you would like to use use for your replacement window project please fill out our request estimate form and I will contact you within an hour or so.
NOTE- These prices are only for our MA and RI service areas. If you live in one of the other 48 states you can use our request estimate form and we will provide your contact information to a couple of local window companies in your area.

Replacement Window Price Increases
Replacement window prices are going up across the nation while home owners are still figuring out out to pay for this years heating bills.
With gas prices at an all time high people are looking for ways to save some money on their heating bills this winter. In the past new replacement windows, entry doors and patio doors have always provided a relief from the drafts and heat loss. Over the next few months replacement window prices will increase due to many factors:
1. Delivery cost from the window company to the window dealers keep increasing as the cost of diesel fuel increases.
2. The window dealers cost of doing business is increasing as fuel prices continue to rise. Owning a fleet of fuel hungry low MPG trucks can put a strain on any business.
3. The cost of producing the vinyl for windows keeps getting more expensive. Fuel is needed to power the vinyl plants and to transport the raw material.
4. The cost of Krypton gas( the gas between good triple pane windows) is increasing since the window companies and the energy efficient light bulb companies are competing for the limited supply.
It's just odd how a product that can save you energy is now going to cost you more because of the energy that is needed to make it and transport it. If you are looking for replacement windows you might want to start looking now or pay a higher price as the fall approaches. My company is raising our prices 7% starting July 24th to offset some of our recent price increases.
