A window \u201csash\u201d is the term for the window piece that includes both the glass pane and the frame that holds the glass in place. Why choose single-hung windows?<\/p>\n Single-hung windows offer three significant benefits.<\/p>\n First, single-hung windows are one of the most common and budget-friendly window options. They are easy to find anywhere windows are sold, and are available in different colors and sizes to fit any architectural style without breaking the bank.<\/p>\n Second, single-hung windows are energy efficient. Unlike double-hung windows which have lots of moving parts that allow for air leakage, single-hung windows only have one moving sash. This means that single-hung windows provide better insulation for the home, and therefore save more energy.<\/p>\n Third, single-hung windows are secure. Because the upper sash of a single-hung window is stationary, the bottom sash can easily be properly sealed and locked.<\/p>\n How much does a fully installed single-hung window cost? These factors will determine where your price falls on the spectrum:<\/p>\n As mentioned above, the size of your window is going to affect the price you pay. Below are some of the most common sizes when discussing single-hung windows. The measurements listed are inches, and the stated dimension are the rough opening size<\/span><\/em> for the window to fit. For example, a 24\u2033 x 48\u2033 window actually measures 23 1\/2\u2033 wide x 47 1\/2 tall\u201d, which is designed to leave a small gap for insulation, flashing, construction irregularities, and adjusting it\u2019s square fit into the 24\u2033x48\u2033 rough opening.<\/p>\n 24 inch wide windows \u2013 $75 to $300, Add $120 per window for installation.<\/strong><\/p>\n 28 inch wide windows \u2013 $95 to $320, Add $130 per window for installation.<\/strong><\/p>\n 32 inch wide windows \u2013 $120 to $330, Add $140 per window for installation.<\/strong><\/p>\n 40 inch wide windows \u2013 $160 to $340, Add $150 per window for installation.<\/strong><\/p>\n 44 inch wide windows \u2013 $145 to $390, Add $150 per window for installation.<\/strong><\/p>\n 48 inch wide windows \u2013 $140 to $480, Add $160 per window for installation.<\/strong><\/p>\n Below is a list of the materials available for single-hung windows, and the average cost for each material.<\/p>\n Installation Time:<\/strong> The time it takes to install a replacement window will depend on who is installing it. If the person doing the installation is a professional, it will probably only take an hour or two per window at a labor cost of around $50 \u2013 $80 per hour. However, it may take a half-day or more to complete the project for an inexperienced DIY homeowner.<\/p>\n Here are common outdoor projects homeowners also complete along with window replacement.<\/p>\n Siding Replacement \u2013<\/strong> You\u2019ve got plenty of siding options including Vinyl Siding for about $4.30 \u2013 $7.65 Per Square Foot, Fiber Cement at an average of $9.35\/square foot and Wood or Cedar Siding for around $9.00.<\/p>\n House Painting \u2013 If you have wood siding in good condition, expect to pay between $2,800 to $3,600 for most homes in the 2,000 square foot range.<\/p>\n If you live in an area prone to storms, it\u2019s not uncommon to have hurricane shutters installed at the same time you replace windows in your home.<\/p>\n The answer to this question really depends on your situation. Most experts agree that for a ground-level window replacement, DIY is a fine option. If you\u2019re interested in replacing your own single-hung window, and the window is on the ground level, go for it!<\/p>\n New windows are a huge investment \u2013 between $6K and $16K for most homes of around 2,500 square feet with 20 windows, according the HomeGuide, and that\u2019s pretty accurate. Home Depot estimates the cost of 20 single-hung windows installed at closer to $20,000, but that seems too high.<\/p>\n Whether we use low, average or high estimates, the fact remains there is money to be saved doing it yourself. Home Advisor says about $200 per window for installation, and we\u2019ve seen higher, so you\u2019re talking $4,000 minimum for 20 windows.<\/p>\n As with pretty much everything in the home improvement department, if your priorities are to get the job done as soon as possible with no bumps in the road, your best bet is to hire a professional. Doing home improvement projects yourself takes time, and there is always a learning curve, so don\u2019t sweat it if you would rather call in a pro.<\/p>\n With more complicated window situations where safety is a concern, it is always best to hire a professional.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n <\/main><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" $275 \u2013 $800 per Window, Installed The cost of most single-hung windows, including the cost of professional installation, is between $275 and $800 per window.
