Why are windows so expensive?
The kids across the street from us busted one of our living room windows. Since we’re replacing that one, I thought it’d be a good time to replace the rest, but I was shocked when I saw the amount I was quoted! Why are windows so expensive?

It’s true—window replacements are often a big-ticket item. The materials used are one of the biggest factors that make windows so expensive.
Depending on the quality, you could expect to spend anywhere from $150 to over $1,000 to replace a single window.
Materials that are more durable, longer-lasting, and have better insulation properties could save you more money over time, but those benefits can come with some pretty hefty upfront costs. If you have large or uniquely-shaped windows to replace, you can also expect your prices to rise.
Windows must be properly installed, so labor costs in your area could also play a role in expensive window replacements—especially if there’s a local shortage of qualified installers.
If you haven’t looked into it yet, consider that you might be able to qualify for some coverage for your broken window with your
