Replacement Window Installation

Want to know the cost to replace windows in Wilmington, NC in 2025? Read the brief article below to find out more.

Many homes in the Wilmington, NC area are 25 years and older. This means that at some point, these homeowners will likely need replacement windows. Especially homeowners that are looking to save money on their heating & cooling bills. One less desirable part of the process of new windows for many people is the process of getting quotes. It helps to be prepared with some type of pricing guide so you can make an educated decision that best fits your needs & budget. There is no magic number for all window installations. Every scenario, and installation is different. For example, a premium vinyl double hung window with installation could be anywhere from $700 to $1,200 depending on exactly what materials are needed, and depending on the options chosen for the window itself (like color or grille profile). When it comes to wood windows (wood interior & cladding exterior) the price is going to increase due to the materials costing more. For Wood/Clad windows you are looking at somewhere around $900-$1,800 installed depending on options chosen. Wood windows generally have the option for a factory stain, which would be on the higher end of this range. Versus a factory white paint which will be cheaper. Fiberglass is another material that is gaining popularity in the Window space. Their pricing is in line with the Wood/Clad windows.

Another thing to consider is the style of the window that you are replacing. Some common types of windows in residential homes are -

Single Hung Window - The bottom sash opens and the top sash is fixed (does not open)

Double Hung Window - Both the top and bottom sash open. The most common window you will see.

Sliding Window - Kind of like a double hung window, but on its side. Some brands

offer sliding windows where both sides can open, and some only open on one side.

Casement Window - These are crank out windows. They have some type of cranking mechanism that pushes the window sash open vertically.

Awning - These are kind of like a casement window on their side. These also have a crank mechanism, but they open horizontally.

All of these windows can have some difference in pricing. This is because they are all manufactured a little bit differently. If we look at casement windows, this price can slightly increase the range listed above for new windows. This is generally because casement windows have a cranking mechanism and are less common than double hung windows. 

Another piece of the puzzle is who is installing your windows for you. Companies have different levels of overhead costs. This plays a vital role in deterring the cost of the windows. Using a local contractor can usually keep costs significantly lower than a larger company that has higher marketing costs, overhead for buildings or showrooms, paying employees, salespeople, installation managers, etc. Some companies focus on larger crews and faster installs versus a smaller contractor that has a lower price, but may not be a 1 day install. Seabreeze Home Improvement Keeps prices down and value up. These are things that can all affect price.

Second floor or third floor windows can also affect price in most cases. A window on the second floor is going to take longer to complete versus a window on the first floor. It will also be harder to work on. For this reason, most of the time a window that is above the first floor will cost more than one that is on the first floor.

Depending on the company, some companies offer better pricing for more windows. A lot of times you will see a lower price for say ten windows versus 1 window. One of the main reasons for this is the time it takes to travel to the site, and set up for the job.
