What are common window replacement costs in Birmingham?
Your location impacts your window replacement costs, and your final price depends on labor, window size, number of panes, material and brand. Here is a table of costs for window replacement in Birmingham, based on data from RSMeans for different window styles:
- Arched: Arched windows have a square shape at the bottom and an arch on top. Prices range from $220–$1,352.
- Awning: An awning window is hinged at the top of the frame and swings open from the bottom. Costs vary from $319 to $888.
- Bay and bow: A bay window has three windows — a picture window at the center and two smaller casement windows on each side. Bow windows have four or more glass sections that reach from the home’s outside wall to form a curve. Plan to pay $735–$5,448 for either of these types of windows.
- Casement: Casement windows have hinges on the side and open out from the right or left. Prices are $254–$1,473.

- Egress: Egress windows are small windows that provide an emergency exit. Be ready to pay $218–$544.
- Glass block: Glass block windows use several thick blocks of glass set into a window frame. A glass block window tends to cost between $44–$551.
- Picture: A picture window is a non-operating window that doesn’t open. Costs run between $191 and $1,413.
- Single-hung: Single-hung windows are like double-hung windows but with a single sash instead. Costs vary between $86–$1,453.
- Skylight: Skylights are windows on the ceiling. They cost an average of $109–$1,312.
- Sliding: Sliding windows move horizontally along a top and bottom track. The price ranges between $250 and $1,271.
- Storm: Storm windows fit over the outside of an existing window to improve insulation. Prices range from $52 to $359.

What should you consider before hiring a window repair pro in Birmingham?
Keep the following key considerations in mind before you hire a window repair specialist in Birmingham.
Can you fix the window on your own?
DIY window repair may save cash upfront, but it could cost more in the long run. You could probably do simple fixes on your own, such as adding caulk, but getting a pro involved can help you sidestep hazards.
Get quotes from several window repair pros and determine whether the expense makes sense or whether the fix is worth doing on your own.
What type of window do you need repaired?
Before calling in a specialist, look at our window type list above. This will help you know which kind of window you need repaired.
Is your damaged window affecting your energy bill?
Windows that are damaged may lead to higher energy costs because they are more inefficient. Heat and cold pass through broken windows, making your home's AC and heating systems work harder to keep your house at a comfortable climate.
Quality, energy-efficient windows can save you an average of $390 per year, according to data from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and Data.gov. Consult with your window repair pro about efficient options if your bills have been rising.
Our methodology for selecting window repair services
The Homefront Local team employs a proprietary scoring algorithm that evaluates companies based on key factors you value, such as average customer review ratings and trustworthiness indicators. Our method for determining trust involves a comparative analysis of the number of reviews a company receives compared to its local competitors. This leads to companies that have earned more trust from your local community being awarded a higher score.
We review national windows providers against our full windows methodology. We score window repair providers based on window options, energy-efficiency features, warranties, reputation and reviews, customer service and services provided.
