A new window replacement could be one of the best investments that you make into your Chicago home, both for stylistic and functional reasons. However, many homeowners are hesitant to schedule this service because they're unaware of the total costs.

You'll be surprised to learn that a window replacement can be quite affordable. Here, we'll cover some of the main factors that go into the cost of a window replacement, ensuring that you have the information you need to make a confident home remodeling decision.

Number of Windows Installed

When it comes time for a window replacement, many homeowners choose to replace all of the windows on their house so that there are no weak links. This will obviously affect the cost of your total window installation. 

Smaller homes with only a few windows will experience at much more affordable project than a large estate with numerous windows on every side of the home.

Window Style and Material

There is a large variety of window types on the market today, and the style you choose will influence the cost of your total installation. For example, single and double-hung windows are some of the more cost-effective options. If you're interested in a more premium, higher-cost installation, you'll want to consider a specialized window style, like bay, bow, or casement.

The Construction of Your Window

Not all windows are created equal. While many homeowners may opt for standard windows, many others enjoy the additional performance of an energy efficient window. These windows have a specialized construction that makes them more effective at keeping out exterior air. This comes at a premium. Some of the features that they provide include:

  • Low-E Glass
  • Foam-Filled Frames
  • Gas Spacers
  • Multiple Window Panes

Whether You Need a Custom Solution or Not

​Custom window installation solutions are also available. If you have a uniquely shaped home or you'd like a personalized window style, you can organize this with your window contractor. Although a custom window will be more expensive, it will provide remarkable beauty to your home.
