What are common window replacement costs in Hoover?
Your location affects your window replacement costs, and your final price depends on material, brand, labor, number of panes and window size. Here is a table of costs for window replacement in Hoover, 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 fall between $213–$1,307.
- Awning: An awning window has hinges at the top of the frame and swings open from the bottom. Costs fall between $308 and $858.
- Bay and bow: A bay window consists of 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 extend out from the home’s outside wall to form a curve. Expect to pay $710–$5,268 for either of these types of windows.
- Casement: Casement windows have hinges on the side and open outward from the right or left. Prices fall into the range of $246–$1,424.

- Egress: Egress windows are small windows that create an emergency exit. Be ready to pay $211–$526.
- Glass block: Glass block windows use a few wide blocks of glass set into a window frame. A glass block window usually ranges from $42–$533.
- Picture: A picture window is an inoperable window that doesn’t open. Costs run between $185 and $1,366.
- Single-hung: Single-hung windows are similar to double-hung windows but with a single sash instead. Costs average between $84–$1,405.
- Skylight: Skylights are windows on the ceiling. They cost in the range of $105–$1,268.
- Sliding: Sliding windows slide open horizontally along a top and bottom track. The price ranges between $242 and $1,229.
- Storm: Storm windows fit over the outside of an existing window to improve insulation. Prices start at $50 and go to $347.

Experts Ready to Help
What should you consider before hiring a window repair pro in Hoover?
Think through the following questions before hiring a window technician in Hoover.
Can you fix the window on your own?
Doing it yourself might be cheaper initially, but could lead to higher expenses down the road. While you can likely tackle basic repairs like applying caulk, getting a pro involved can help minimize risks.
Get estimates from a number of window specialists to determine whether the cost is reasonable or whether the fix is manageable yourself.
What type of window do you need repaired?
Before you get help from an expert, you'll need to know what type of window needs repair. Look at our list of window types above to figure out what kind of window you have.
Is your damaged window affecting your energy bill?
Windows that are damaged could result in higher energy costs because they are more inefficient. Heat and cold pass through broken windows, making your home's AC and heating systems exert more energy to keep your house at the right temperature.
High-quality, energy-efficient windows could reduce your expenses by about $390 per year, according to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and Data.gov. Talk to your window technician about energy-saving options if you want to lower your expenses.
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.
