Windows, rooms that are all the same temperature

It usually starts with the room nobody sits in because it is always cold. The hard part is not the work — it is that every window company sounds equally sure of itself, and you get one guess. We check licence and insurance before we introduce anyone, and we record the date we checked.

Windows in short

Window companies sell four different things: insert (pocket) replacement, full-frame replacement, glass-only or sash repair, and new-construction installation. Most homeowners who call about "new windows" need either an insert replacement or, if the frame and sill are rotted, a full-frame replacement. Glass-only repair is far cheaper and is the right answer when the frame is sound and only the sealed glass unit has failed.

Installed replacement windows typically cost about $300 to $2,500 per window in 2026, with common mid-range jobs landing near $700 to $1,200 per window (NerdWallet, Angi). A whole-house project of around 25 windows averages roughly $18,000 to $20,000 (NerdWallet). Frame material, window style, glass package, and whether the job is an insert or full-frame replacement move the number more than brand does.

Why a pro gets to be on this list

Most sites sell your number to whoever pays the most for it. We check the window companies we match you with, and we publish the date we checked so you can hold us to it.

Licence checked

We look up the licence with the issuing state or local authority and record the date we checked it.

Insurance confirmed

General liability and, where it applies, workers’ compensation — confirmed with the carrier, not taken on trust.

Reviews read, not counted

We read the recent negatives as well as the average, and we look at how the pro answered them.

Re-checked, not set and forgotten

A licence that lapses drops the pro out of matching. Every record carries the date it was last verified.

Homeowners

What people say after they’ve hired

Zero reviews. On purpose.

We’d rather show you nothing than show you someone else’s reviews.

Plenty of sites fill this space with reviews scraped from elsewhere, or written for them. We don’t. The first windows review on this page will come from a homeowner we matched, after their work was finished and paid for.

FAQ

Windows questions, answered

The questions homeowners ask us most about windows.

Roughly $300 to $2,500 installed depending on size, style and material, per NerdWallet's 2026 data; Homewyse's 2026 calculator centers a typical installed replacement near $632–$967.
The 25C Energy Efficient Home Improvement Credit for windows applied through the end of 2025 per ENERGY STAR. Check your state and utility for separate programs and confirm any tax question with a tax professional.
That is a local question. Many jurisdictions treat like-for-like replacement differently from enlarging or adding openings. Call your building department and describe the job.
Often yes when the frame is sound and only the sealed unit failed. Ask for that quote specifically — companies that only sell whole windows will not volunteer it.
Published estimates vary widely by material and climate and are not consistently sourced, so treat any single number with caution. What is consistent is that the sealed glass unit generally fails before the frame — so read the glass warranty terms for the product you are buying.

The wrong window hire costs more than the right one.

Windows are sold on the glass and ruined in the install. A badly flashed opening leaks whatever the frame cost. Getting matched takes about a minute, costs nothing, and you can walk away from every quote you receive.
