A window does not cost 2k, not even top of the line. If you pay that price you used the wrong company.

Including installation? It certainly does.

It certainly does not. You got ripped off by a high profit installer. I bet you spend $5,000 on provia doors too.

You have some weird anger issues.

You win! All good windows cost $2,000! What brand of top of the line window did you have installed for 2k each? I bet you’re embarrassed to say.

Again, you are weirdly invested in this. Get three estimates for top of the line Marvin windows in an expensive zip code and get back to us with the results.

Sounds like you were ripped off. I had prices alll over the place. Got 8 quotes and saved so much money. But sure whatever helps you sleep at night. At least you bought the window dealer a new boat! Thanks for helping the economy.

Sure it does - especially if the window is wood.

OP here, I don't think I want to spend the money for wood. We have wood now, and our house is 25 years old. I guess over time they have expanded are all stuck, the springs cause them to open up unexpectedly. I don't want to spend $$$ though. I don't think when you have window treatments it will matter. Someone here can try to talk me out of it. I assumed that meant vinyl, but looks like I have some research to do on the diff. types. I don't live in a super old home, FWIW, only 25 yo

I agree....we went with vinyl because I hated our old wood windows. I could not open or close most of them myself; I was constantly having to have my husband do it. Our new vinyl windows glide effortlessly--I couldn't be happier. We replaced about 23 windows and two sliding doors, for about $18K.

Vinyl windows are tacky. But whatever -- we 're in one of DC's historic districts and aren't allowed to replace our current windows with vinyl anyway. And, yes, we're being quoted over $2000 a window.

I actually haven’t purchased yet, still deciding whether to restore or replace. Sorry to ruin your strange day dream.

Thank you, glad to see there are two of us.

Vinyl will have an even shorter lifespan.

Have you looked into wooden window repair? If you have good windows in a historic district, they should not need to be replaced.

There are so many factors that go into this. You can get away with a lot more styles if your home is post-1950.

If you think vinyl is bad, you should learn about how glass is made.
