What are common window replacement costs in Charleston?
What you'll spend on replacing windows in Charleston depends on factors such as labor, window size, brand, material and number of panes. Using data from RSMeans, here is a cost breakdown for common types of windows:
- Arched: Arched windows have a square shape at the bottom and an arch on top. Prices range from $220–$1,349.
- Awning: An awning window is hinged at the top of the frame and opens outward from the bottom. Costs vary from $318 to $886.
- Bay and bow: A bay window comprises three windows — a picture window at the center and two smaller casement windows on both sides. Bow windows have at least four glass sections that extend out from the home’s exterior wall to form a curve. Plan to pay $733–$5,437 for either of these types of windows.
- Casement: Casement windows have hinges on the side and open out from the right or left. Prices range from $254–$1,470.

- Egress: Egress windows are small windows that provide an emergency exit. Expect to pay $217–$543.
- Glass block: Glass block windows use several thick blocks of glass set into a window frame. A glass block window tends to cost between $43–$550.
- Picture: A picture window is a fixed window that doesn’t open. Costs are between $191 and $1,410.
- Single-hung: Single-hung windows are similar to double-hung windows but with only one sash instead. Costs average between $86–$1,450.
- Skylight: Skylights are ceiling windows. They cost between $109 and $1,309.
- Sliding: Sliding windows move horizontally along a top and bottom track. The cost falls between $250 and $1,269.
- Storm: Storm windows go over the outside of an existing window to improve insulation. Prices range from $52 to $358.

Experts Ready to Help
What should you consider before hiring a window repair pro in Charleston?
Think about the following factors before hiring a window pro in Charleston.
Can you fix the window on your own?
Doing it yourself may save you money upfront, but could lead to higher expenses down the road. While you can likely tackle basic repairs like adding caulk, hiring an expert can help minimize risks.
Get quotes from multiple window repair pros to see whether the price is worth it or whether you're able to perform the fix yourself.
What type of window do you need repaired?
To get help from a professional, you first have to know which window type needs to be fixed. Check our list above to figure out what kind of windows you have.
Is your damaged window affecting your energy bill?
Defective windows can increase utility bills because of their energy loss. Heat and cold seep through damaged windows more easily, forcing your home's HVAC system to work overtime to keep your home at a pleasant temperature.
Good energy-efficient windows could lower your bills by around an average of $337 annually, per the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and Data.gov. If your costs are inflating, ask your repair expert about energy-saving options.
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.
