How much does it cost to replace old windows with new larger windows?
Question:I am thinking of buying an older home and most of the windows are pretty small (I like lots of natural light). Before buying I am trying to figure out how much it would cost to replace some of the smaller windows in the living room and kitchen with bigger windows, probably to make them about 5 feet tall by 3 feet wide (or whatever is a standard size close to this). Secondly how much it would cost to add windows where currently none exist and thirdly to add a glass patio door where none currently exists. I would be able to take out the old windows myself but would need to pay someone to intall them all which adds the most cost I am sure. I live in Wisconsin. I know there are a million other factors to consider but I guess I am just looking for an estimate, such as $400/window or $2,000/window or what?
Answers:
Depends on material of the frames and whether double or triple glazed, and the number and size of the windows. ~
Changing sizes adds to that!
Well take this for what it's worth. We just had windows replaced at our house (same size) and it was about $200 / window.
From what you are asking, it seems like you need some woodwork done as well. That sounds pricey to me, I would venture it'd be over $500 a window.
