How Much Do Vinyl Windows Cost? | Price Breakdown & What Really Affects It

Hey, guys, Sean with American Window Concepts. In today's video, we're talking about how much do vinyl windows cost and what affects that price? Let's get into it. OK, so you're doing some window shopping, literally, and you're looking at all these different prices or possible prices. And you're like, well, what gives? How much should I be looking to pay for vinyl windows? And let's just keep it at dual pane for now. And you're trying to figure, OK, well, what varies? What makes these window prices fluctuate? Aren't they all the same? And you have one price that says, oh, we'll do it for 250. All right. The price of the windows, 250. But maybe that's just a window in the Home Depot. And that's probably what you're thinking. OK, so vinyl windows are $250 or $300. And then somebody comes into your house and now gives you a price. And now it's each windows, $800. And you're like, whoa, huge, huge jump in price. And you think, well, what gives? There's a lot that goes into this, right? And you probably heard me say it a million times. Not all vinyl windows are created equal. All the components, the style of glass that goes into it, the locking mechanisms, the locking rails, right? So all these different things that go into building this window for you is going to affect how much this window costs you. If you go and you buy a very inexpensive window and you install it in your house, chances are within four or five years, you're going to hate these windows. And it's going to be because they're just not built the same. Even if it was $10,000, $15,000, you're like, wow, man, like I really could have spent a little bit more and got a better product. And then also, whenever you have somebody coming into your house, you know, they're going to offer you some type of a premium window. You can decide what is best for you and or whatever it is that they're usually pushing more. For us, we love the Anlin product. We think it's a great, great window, double lifetime warranty. It's an amazing window. So we're going to go into the house initially saying, hey, let's talk about Anlin. Milgard, another great, great window. Most people know about Milgard because they're everywhere. And so you're going to look at these prices and go, wow, this is a lot more than what I had initially thought from what I had seen at Home Depot or Lowe's. They're just not built the same. Weatherstripping is a big deal. So the weatherstripping that you might get pitched from an Milgard window is going to be way far superior to something that might be in the shelf over at the Lowe's or Home Depot, a single thin, multi weatherstripping. Whereas you might find a double thin or triple thin with the Milgard products can be way higher performing. It's whenever they close and lock, they lock a lot tighter. Same thing is true for an Anlin window than just some builder grade style window. So if you want something super, super cheap, you can get them out there. They're they're available to you. But if it's your home and you're looking at how I want this window project to end up, I want to really, really love these windows. I want them to last a long time. All of this, then we're probably going to lean in the more expensive realm for vinyl windows. You're going to be looking at price tags anywhere from 250 to 300, which is at the very, very bottom, not a very large window. And you can spend up to 1500, 1800, depending on how big the window is. You're not going to be spending as much as you would if you're buying wood windows or some steel windows or something like that. You're going to spend a lot less and you're going to get a better warranty. Vinyl windows usually give you the best warranties out there in the market.
