The money question
What replacement windows cost.
Nobody can price your house over the phone. Here is what moves the number, so you know what you are looking at.
What moves the number
Nine things that change the price.
Most of them you can see from the driveway.
- How many openings. The biggest driver. Setup and travel get spread across the job.
- Size. A bathroom awning and a six-foot picture window are not the same window.
- Style. Picture is simplest. Casement hardware costs more than a slider.
- Glass package. Low-E argon is our standard. Tempered, laminated, obscure and triple pane add to it.
- Full-frame or pocket. Full-frame is more work and more material.
- Rot repair. A soft sill or a rotten stud gets fixed before the window goes in.
- Second story and access. Ladder work and tight lots take longer.
- Trim and capping. New interior trim, exterior aluminum capping, or both.
- Haul-off and permits. Old units go with us. Where a permit is required, that is in the number.
Why quotes are so far apart
Three companies, three numbers.
Compare the paper, not the pitch.
One quote is a pocket install with clear double pane glass and a one-year labor warranty. Another is full-frame with Low-E argon and a longer one. A third is the same window as the first with a very large marketing budget built into the price. All three say "replacement windows."
Ask every company for the same four things in writing: the install method for each opening, the glass package by name, the workmanship warranty in years, and who actually installs it. Then compare.

Fair questions
Questions people ask.
Do not see yours? Call or text (601) 966-0319 and ask.
Can you give me a price over the phone?
No, and nobody honest can. The price depends on the opening, the frame and the install. We measure first, then write one number.
Why did I get three quotes that were thousands apart?
Different glass, different install method, different warranty, and very different sales models. Compare the written scope line by line.
Is it cheaper to do all the windows at once?
Per window, usually yes, because setup and travel spread across more openings. But we would rather do two windows right than talk you into ten.
Do you offer financing?
Financing available, ask us. It runs through third-party lenders and is subject to credit approval.
Does the quote cost anything?
No. We come out, measure, and leave one number. No cost to you.
