How Much Does Window Replacement Cost in Dallas–Fort Worth?
When homeowners call us about new windows, the first thing they want to know is the price. The short answer: our window replacement starts at $250 per window, and that starting price already includes double-pane insulated glass and Low-E 270, an all-season energy-efficient glass package. You don't pay extra to get glass that stands up to a Texas summer.
This guide explains what comes with every window we install, what can change the price for a particular opening, when a repair makes more sense than a new window, what to do about hail-damaged windows, and how to get a written number for your own home.
How Much Does Window Replacement Cost in DFW?
Our windows start at $250 per window. Here is what comes with every window we install:
| What you get | Details |
|---|---|
| Glass | Double-pane insulated glass (included in the $250 starting price) |
| Glass coating | Low-E 270, an all-season energy-efficient package (included in the $250 starting price) |
| Measuring | Free in-home measurements of every opening |
| Estimate | A written price for each window, based on its size and style |
| Installation | Careful removal of the old window, then flashing, insulation and sealing around the opening |
| Finish | Interior and exterior trim finished, and cleanup |
| Warranty | 5-year workmanship warranty on the installation |
As a simple example, ten standard windows at the starting price come to $2,500. Your written estimate may differ from that, because the size, style and condition of each opening are priced on their own.
What Changes the Price of a Window?
The $250 starting price is for a standard window. These are the things that can change the number for a particular opening. We go over each one with you before you decide.
The Size of the Opening
Larger windows use more glass and more frame, so an oversized living room window costs more than a standard bedroom window. We measure every opening in person instead of guessing from photos.
The Window Style
We install double hung, casement, sliding, bay, garden, picture and transom windows, mostly in vinyl. Specialty shapes such as bay windows, garden windows and arched tops take more material and more time to install than a standard double hung, and they are priced that way.
Grids and Frame Color
Options like grid patterns or darker frames, such as the black-frame windows we installed on Frisco Hills Boulevard in Little Elm, can change the price. We show you the options side by side so you can choose what fits your home and budget.
The Condition of the Opening
If the wood around an opening is soft or rotted, we show you and repair it before the new window goes in, so the frame has a solid base. You will see that repair on your estimate before any work starts.
Second-Story Windows
Upper-floor windows take more setup to reach and install safely than ground-floor windows, which can affect the price for those openings.
All at Once or a Few at a Time
Some homeowners replace every window in one visit. Others start with the windows on the hottest south- and west-facing walls and do the rest later. We can price it either way.
Why Low-E 270 Glass Matters in Texas
Texas summers are the reason Low-E 270 comes standard in our windows. Low-E is a thin, invisible coating on the glass that reflects the sun's heat back outside while still letting daylight through. A double-pane unit adds an insulating layer between two panes of glass, so less heat moves through the window. Together, they help keep rooms on the south and west sides of the house cooler in August and help hold heat inside in winter. That is why we call Low-E 270 an all-season package.
If your home still has single-pane windows, or older double-pane windows without a Low-E coating, you will likely notice the difference first in the rooms that get the afternoon sun.
Repair or Replace?
Not every window problem means a whole new window. If the frame is still solid, a repair can fix the problem for less:
- Cracked or broken glass from hail, a stray baseball or a fallen limb.
- Foggy glass between the panes, which means the seal on the double-pane unit has failed.
- Sash, seal or sill problems that let in drafts or water.
A full replacement usually makes more sense when the frame is warped, cracked or rotted, when several windows are failing at the same time, or when the house still has single-pane glass. We will tell you which one makes sense after we look at the window. Our window replacement and repair page covers the styles we install and how our installs work.
Hail-Damaged Windows
DFW hail can crack glass, break the seal on a double-pane unit, dent frames and tear screens. After a storm, check the windows on the side of the house that faced the storm. Keep an eye out for fogging over the next few weeks too, because a damaged seal doesn't always show right away.
If hail damaged your windows, we document the damage with photos and meet your adjuster at the house. Hail that hits your windows usually hits your roof too, so it helps to have both inspected at the same visit. Learn more about our storm and hail damage repair.
How to Get an Accurate Window Price
The only way to get a real number is to measure your windows. Here is how it works with us:
- Free in-home measurements. We measure every opening and check the frames and the wood around them.
- Written estimate. You get a written price for each window based on its size and style, not a guess.
- Installation day. We protect floors and furniture, remove one window at a time, and install and seal each new window before moving on, so your home is never left open for long.
- Warranty. Every installation is covered by our 5-year workmanship warranty.
When you compare quotes, compare what is included, not just the total. Ask each company whether the price includes double-pane Low-E glass, removal of the old windows, flashing and sealing, trim work and a workmanship warranty. Financing is available — as low as 0%.
