What Replacement Windows Cost and Why We Put It in Writing
We do not publish a price per window, because an honest one does not exist before someone has stood in your house. What we can tell you is exactly what moves the number, and that you get the full price in writing at a free in-home estimate, before anything is ordered, with no pressure to sign that day.

What Moves the Price
Six Things That Set the Number
Every one of these is measured or decided at the estimate, which is why a real number needs a visit.
The Size of the Opening
Every window is built to the exact size of your opening, and a larger opening is more frame, more glass and more labor to set and seal.
The Material
Vinyl, fiberglass and wood sit in three price tiers, in that order. The comparison below shows what each one gives you for the difference.
The Glass Package
Two panes with a low-E coating and argon is the sensible Michigan baseline. A third pane, sound control or blinds between the glass each move the number.
The Style
A double-hung and a picture window are ordinary openings. A bay, a bow, an arched head or a wall of dormers changes the material and the labor at once.
What the Trim Is Hiding
Soft wood at a sill, or sheathing that has taken water behind the siding, only shows itself once the trim comes off. It is the single biggest reason we measure before quoting.
All at Once, or in Stages
The setup, the floor protection and the haul-away happen once whether the crew hangs three windows or thirteen, and most homeowners still replace in stages.
Compare Materials
Vinyl, Wood, or Fiberglass?
Three materials, one installer. Every window is measured, installed, and warrantied the same way; the right choice comes down to budget, look, and how much upkeep you want to sign up for.
We do not publish a price for windows, doors, or siding, because an honest one does not exist before someone has stood in your house. Cost tracks the size of the openings, the materials you pick, and what the crew finds once the old units come out. What we promise is the full number in writing at the estimate, before anything is ordered, with no pressure to sign that day.
Flexible financing is available if you want it. You can also walk our 4,000 sq. ft. showroom in Southgate and operate full-size windows and doors yourself before you commit to anything.
How the Number Arrives
From Visit to Written Price
Four steps, and nothing is ordered until you have seen the number.
We measure every opening
Twice. The window is built to that measurement, so nothing is trimmed to fit on installation day and there are no surprises in the price later.
You pick the material and the glass
At the kitchen table, or at the showroom where you can operate full-size windows in all three materials before deciding.
The full price, in writing
The number covers the windows, the installation by our own employee crews, the haul-away and the 15-year labor warranty. No pressure to sign that day.
Financing if you want it
Financing is available, and windows, doors and siding can go into one project, which is simpler to plan and to pay for than three separate jobs.

The Pages Behind the Price
The materials, the glass and the financing, each on its own page.
When the company that sold you the job is not the company that installed it, a warranty call two years later turns into a search for whoever did the work. We do not work that way. Our own employees do the installation, never subcontractors, and the 15-year labor warranty comes from us, so there is one company to call.

15
Years Warranty
Every installation is backed by our industry-leading 15-year labor warranty, on top of the manufacturer's coverage on the window itself. If the workmanship ever needs attention, one call and we make it right, at no cost to you.
Most window companies stand behind their installation for only a year or two. Once that coverage runs out, drafts, leaks, and seal failures become the homeowner's problem to fix.

Questions
Cost Questions, Answered
Want a rough range before anyone visits? Our cost estimator asks a few questions about the house and gives you one in about a minute, then the real number comes from the free measurement.
Because the price depends on the opening, the material, the glass, the style and what the crew finds once the old unit comes out. A number quoted before measuring is a guess, and we would rather give you the real one in writing.
Does the estimate cost anything?
No. The in-home estimate and the inspection are both free, and you get the full price in writing before anything is ordered.
Which material costs the least?
Vinyl, then fiberglass, then wood, as the tiers on this page show. Vinyl is also what we install most. The right answer for your house depends on the look you want inside and how the wall takes the weather, which is what the estimate is for.
Is it cheaper to replace all the windows at once?
Per window, usually. The setup, the floor protection and the haul-away happen once for the whole job. Many homeowners still replace in stages, the worst rooms first, and we price both paths at the estimate.
What does the price include?
The windows built to your openings, installation by our own employee crews, haul-away of the old units, and the 15-year labor warranty registered at the final walkthrough, on top of the manufacturer's warranty on the product.
«Everyone was terrific and the windows are beautiful. So much so that we told friends in Woodhaven that they should call them when they indicated that they were interested in all new windows for their own house. They also went with Adkins and are very happy with the people and the work that was done.»
