What are common window replacement costs in Richmond?
Your location influences your window replacement costs, and your final price depends on brand, window size, material, number of panes and labor. Here is a cost table for window replacement in Richmond, based on data from RSMeans for different window styles:
- Arched: Arched windows are square at the bottom and have an arch on top. Prices range from $228–$1,396.
- Awning: An awning window is hinged at the top of the frame and opens outward from the bottom. Costs range from $329–$917.
- Bay and bow: A bay window comprises three windows — a picture window at the center and two smaller casement windows on either side. Bow windows have four or more glass sections that reach from the home’s exterior wall to form a curve. Expect to pay $759–$5,627 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 $263–$1,521.

- Egress: Egress windows are small windows that create an emergency exit. Be ready to pay $225–$562.
- Glass block: Glass block windows use several wide blocks of glass set into a window frame. A glass block window often costs between $45–$569.
- Picture: A picture window is an inoperable window that doesn’t open. Costs are between $198 and $1,459.
- Single-hung: Single-hung windows are like double-hung windows but with only one sash instead. Costs vary between $89–$1,501.
- Skylight: Skylights are ceiling windows. They cost in the range of $113–$1,355.
- Sliding: Sliding windows move horizontally along a top and bottom track. The price falls between $258 and $1,313.
- Storm: Storm windows are placed over the outside of an existing window to improve insulation. Prices start at $53 and go to $371.

Experts Ready to Help
What should you consider before hiring a window repair pro in Richmond?
Keep the following questions in mind before you choose a window repair technician in Richmond.
Can you fix the window on your own?
Doing it yourself might be cheaper initially, but could end up pricier over time. While you may be able to handle basic repairs like applying caulk, hiring an expert can help manage obstacles.
Talk to several window companies to get estimates from them. Decide whether paying for the service makes sense or whether you prefer to do the repair on your own.
What type of window do you need repaired?
Before you hire a professional, you'll need to be aware of what type of window needs repair. Look at our list of window types above to determine what kind of window you have.
Is your damaged window affecting your energy bill?
Broken windows may cause your energy bills to increase, as they are not as efficient. Hot and cold air pass through damaged windows, which makes your AC and heating system operate more often to keep your house comfortable.
High-quality, energy-efficient windows may cut your expenses by about $374 per year, according to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and Data.gov. Talk to your window technician about efficiency 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.
