Picture Window Installation Cost

Picture window installation cost will run anywhere from $50 to $1000, which doesn't really help consumers out because this is simply too big a range. The big issue in terms of price is size; picture windows can either be small fixed frame windows or they can be the very large showcase windows that people often think of when they mention picture windows.

Fixed Frame Installation Costs

Picture windows are synonymous with fixed frame windows. Fixed frames are simply windows that do not open. They can range from quite small openings to your standard sized home window. The installation cost of these fixed frame windows should be identical to other replacement windows, anywhere from $50 for pocket installation costs to $125 for standard window installation and $250 to full frame window installation prices.

Most contractors who come out to give you a bid are willing to tell you their installation price breakdown. For the most part, it will be based on the condition of your window frames and sills. If they are old and rotting, there can be quite a bit of work required to replace the wood and get everything watertight so that they will last for the next 25 years.

Picture Window Installation Prices

When we say picture windows, we are referring to large openings with a large pane of glass. These projects are more difficult than smaller windows and typically require a team of 2 to 3 installers. Assuming that no work is needed to the frame opening, consumers can expect to pay as low as $200 to $300 for the team of installers to take out the existing picture window, clean and prep the opening and properly install the new picture window. Changes to the size of the opening can get expensive and here is where the upper end of the installation price range comes in. Very large showcase windows that require a 4 man team of installers will also probably run towards the upper end of this cost range.

At the end of the day, getting your 3 bids on the picture window(s) and having the contractors breakdown the installation costs is by far the best and most accurate way to find the fair value cost.
