Window Replacement Cost by Window Style
The style of window you choose has a direct effect on the total cost of your window replacement. A standard single-hung window sits near the lower end of the price range, while large bay, bow, and custom windows cost more because they require more material and more involved installation.
Window Style Cost Comparison Chart
| Window Style | Typical 2026 National Cost Range | General Cost Level |
|---|---|---|
| Single-Hung | $100–$400 | Lower |
| Double-Hung | $150–$650 | Lower to Mid-Range |
| Sliding | Varies by size and configuration | Lower to Mid-Range |
| Casement | $150–$1,000 | Mid-Range |
| Awning | $400–$950 | Mid-Range |
| Picture | $65–$700 | Varies Widely by Size |
| Bay | $900–$7,100 | Higher |
| Bow | $1,500–$6,500 | Higher |
| Custom | $1,000+ | Higher |
These are national consumer cost estimates rather than Tevelde & Co. pricing. Current 2026 cost data also shows that large window dimensions push pricing higher regardless of style. Large windows in the 48-by-60-inch to 60-by-72-inch range are commonly estimated at $700 to $1,800, while oversized custom windows start around $2,500 in national estimates. The figures in this chart cover a wide range because window size, frame material, glass, installation method, and the condition of the existing opening all affect the final price.
For an Omaha homeowner, those national numbers are useful for early planning. They are not a substitute for an estimate based on the actual windows in your house.
How Much Does Window Replacement Cost in Nebraska?
Window replacement pricing includes more than the window itself. A complete estimate accounts for the new window, removal of the old unit, installation labor, insulation, flashing, exterior finishing, and disposal. The condition of the existing opening matters too. A straightforward replacement in a sound opening requires less work than a full-frame replacement where damaged wood, failed flashing, or deteriorated trim has to be addressed.
Why Window Style Changes Replacement Cost
Each window style requires a different amount of glass, framing, hardware, and installation work. A fixed picture window has no hinges, locks, balances, or crank mechanism. A casement window needs hardware that lets the sash open, close, and lock tightly. A bow window combines several window units into one assembly and requires considerably more work to install.
Size changes the calculation as well. A small casement window and a large casement window are technically the same style, but they will not have the same price. Even closely related styles differ in what they cost to build and install, which is one reason the difference between double-hung and single-hung windows shows up on an estimate. For that reason, comparing windows only by style gives you part of the answer. The complete estimate depends on the exact configuration going into each opening.
Frame Material Changes the Price
Window material affects price, maintenance, appearance, and long-term performance. The right window material for your home will depend on your home, budget, maintenance expectations, and the look you want.
Vinyl Windows
Vinyl remains a common replacement material because it requires little maintenance and is generally priced below fiberglass and wood. The material does not need painting. Modern vinyl window systems are available with insulated frames and several glass packages.
Fiberglass Windows
Fiberglass generally costs more than vinyl. Current national replacement estimates commonly place fiberglass windows around $500 to $1,500 before accounting for unusual sizes or complex installation conditions. Fiberglass has high dimensional stability, which means the frame experiences relatively little expansion and contraction as temperatures change.
Wood Windows
Wood provides a traditional interior appearance and offers a wide range of finish choices. It typically costs more and requires more maintenance than vinyl. Many wood window systems use exterior cladding to protect the wood from weather while preserving the wood finish inside the home.
Glass Options Also Affect Replacement Window Cost
Two windows of the same size and style still have different prices if they use different glass packages. Double-pane insulated glass is common in modern replacement windows. In a 2025 homeowner survey reported by This Old House, nearly 80% of respondents who replaced their windows chose double-pane glass. Other available features include triple-pane construction, Low-E coatings, insulating gas between panes, tempered glass, laminated glass, decorative glass, and grille patterns.
For homes in eastern Nebraska, glass performance deserves careful consideration. Omaha gets cold winters, hot summers, strong winds, and large temperature swings through the year. A window selected only on purchase price leaves out how the complete unit performs through those conditions. The glass package should fit the opening, exposure, room, and homeowner’s efficiency goals.
How Tevelde & Co. Prices a Window Replacement Project
Tevelde & Co. starts with the existing windows and openings. We look at the size and style of each window, the condition of the frames, and how the existing units were installed. We also determine whether insert replacement makes sense or whether the project requires full-frame removal. The estimate also accounts for the work around the window. That includes access, flashing, insulation, trim, siding transitions, and repairs identified during the evaluation.
Product choices come next. We help you select the window material, glass package, color, grille pattern, and operating style, all of which affect the price. Tevelde & Co. works with EnerLux windows, Pella windows, and other established exterior products. Our goal is to give homeowners enough information to understand what they are buying and why one option costs more than another.

Your actual price still comes down to the specific house. Window dimensions, material, glass, installation method, trim, siding, and the condition of each opening determine the scope.
