In This Guide
In Massachusetts, most standard replacement windows run $450 to $950 installed, and bay or bow windows run $2,800 to $5,500. A whole-home project of 10 to 14 windows lands between $8,000 and $20,000. National surveys vary: This Old House reports an average of $517 per window, while Bob Vila reports $280, partly because they measure different things.
Window replacement cost depends on how many windows, the frame material, the glass and the style. National figures come from This Old House and Bob Vila, and our own prices come from the windows page.
How Much Does Window Replacement Cost per Window?
We typically see $450 to $950 installed for a standard window, with double-hung at the lower end. This Old House surveyed 1,000 customers and reports an average of $517 per installed window and $7,183 per project, with an average project size of 7 windows. Bob Vila reports a lower national average of $280 per window and gives installation labor at $100 to $300 per window. Treat the national numbers as a floor, and expect a Massachusetts installed price for a quality window to be higher.
How Does Frame Material Change the Price?
This Old House reports per-window averages of $453 for aluminum, $472 for vinyl, $513 for composite, $544 for wood and $564 for fiberglass. Bob Vila reports wider ranges, such as $100 to $900 for vinyl and $500 to $1,500 for fiberglass. The two sources disagree on exact numbers, but both show vinyl as the budget-friendly choice and fiberglass and wood as the premium options. Our frame material comparison goes deeper.
How Much More Do Double and Triple Pane Cost?
This Old House reports averages of $400 per window for single-pane, $529 for double-pane and $609 for triple-pane. Double-pane was the most common choice, at 76% of surveyed homeowners, and 36% of those surveyed reported lower energy bills after installing. ENERGY STAR says certified windows may cost more than non-certified ones, but the labor should be comparable, and that replacing single-pane windows with certified ones lowers household energy bills by an average of up to 13 percent nationwide.

No, not for new installs. The IRS says the energy efficient home improvement credit could be claimed for improvements made through December 31, 2025. Check with your tax advisor, and ask your utility about rebates. ENERGY STAR notes that many utilities offer incentives for certified windows.
