When embarking on home improvement projects, replacing or installing new windows is often a top priority for homeowners. Not only do windows play a crucial role in the aesthetic appeal of your home, but they also impact energy efficiency and security.


However, one of the first questions that comes to mind is:

How much should I expect to pay for windows?


In this post, we'll explore the different types of windows, factors affecting their cost, and the current trend of black windows, to help you budget for your next project.


Types of Windows and Their Costs

At Nailed It Iowa, we're proud to be dealers for a wide range of window types, ensuring we can provide you with the perfect solution for your home's needs and aesthetics. Here's a breakdown of the most common types and what you can expect in terms of cost:


NOTE* Prices based on a standard window size, are often considered to be around 24" x 36" or 2 feet by 3 feet for a single-hung or double-hung window. These prices are estimates and can vary based on factors like location, manufacturer, and current market conditions.


Vinyl Windows

For a standard size, prices generally range from $250 to $600, making them an affordable and durable choice with minimal maintenance and good insulation.


Wood Windows

Wood windows provide natural beauty and excellent insulation but come with higher maintenance. The cost can range from $400 to $1,000 for a standard size.


Aluminum Windows

Known for their strength and sleek design, aluminum windows are less insulating but fit modern aesthetic preferences well. Standard-sized windows might cost between $200 and $700.


Fiberglass Windows

Offering top-notch durability, low maintenance, and superior insulation, fiberglass windows for a standard size may range from $500 to $1,500.

The Added Expense of Black Windows

Black windows have gained popularity for their ability to add a modern and elegant touch to any home. However, the specialized paint or finish required for this trend means black windows can cost about 10-20% more than standard-colored windows. For a standard-sized window, this could mean an additional $50 to $300 on top of the base price, depending on the material.
