2009 FHI Windows News

FHI Windows has made a bunch of changes to our website design and layout for 2009, here are some of the highlights;

1. Our blog has moved over to the article and review section of our main website, you can view this by clicking FHI Windows Articles and Reviews.

2. After years of our clients sending in testimonials we are finally getting around to publishing some of them. Here are a few of our recent reviews:

* FHI Window Review #5

* FHI Window Review #4

* FHI Window Review #3

* FHI Window Review #2

* FHI Window Review #1

3. Our current price list for replacement windows is now published on the article and review section of our main website. You can find these prices by clicking ---> REPLACEMENT WINDOW PRICES

4. We have added "Live Chat" to every page of our website, article section and this blog. If you have a question just click on the live chat box on the right side of our site and we will do our best to answer your questions.

5. Over the next couple of weeks we will publish a list of prices for bow windows and bay windows. While it seems like 90% of them fall in the $3000-$4000 price range we are getting feedback that people want a list like our double hung window prices list.

6. Our major window vendor is starting to offer some monthly sale prices that we will publish in the article section of our website. While everyone knows that I'm not a fan of raising prices in order to offer a BS discount, if we receive a lower price from our manufacture, we will pass it on to our clients.

7. We will continue to forward any requests for window estimates that are out of our service area to contractors that are local to the person making the request. Since June 2008 we provided this free service for around 60 people without one complaint! If you are looking for a window company in your area just fill out our ----> request for window estimate form.

8. We are looking to add a fiberglass window to our existing product line. The replacement window trend has moved away from wood and now some of our potential clients are looking for options other than vinyl. So far we have yet to find a top quality triple pane fiberglass window that we can sell for under $1000.00!

9. We have finally added a sun room page to our website! For the past 11 years we enclosed porches and created some great looking 3 and 4 season room and now we are offering a full line of 3 and 4 season factory built sunrooms! To view our new sun room page <--click there.

10. We will continue to give out prices over the phone prior to coming to your home to look at your project. In 2008 we found that well over 90% of the time our over the phone price matched our contract price.

Replacement Window Prices in MA

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.
