What moves the price
- Size and style — casements and hung windows cost more than sliders; specialty shapes cost more still
- Brand and line — see our brand pages
- Install method — full-frame with stucco patching costs more than a retrofit
- Glass — tempered, obscure, triple-pane or sound glass adds cost
- Color — dark exteriors usually cost more than white
- Access — second-story and hard-to-reach windows take more time
- Repairs — rotted sills or water damage found during removal
A sample house
A 1,600-square-foot Albuquerque home with 12 windows, mostly sliders, replaced with mid-range white vinyl using flush-fin retrofits might land around $10,000–$14,000. With 10 windows qualifying for the PNM rebate ($800) and the state credit at up to $500 per window for most households, the net cost can come down a lot.
Lower the cost
- Apply for the PNM rebate and the state tax credit
