How To Find The Most Cost Efficient Solution For Your Home

It’s gravely important to have a knowledgeable professional who can find a viable solution that is cost-effective and serves your needs. The same opening can be filled with different windows at a very different cost. Consider what you really want out of your windows and doors and work with your professional to find solutions that give you the functionality without unnecessary cost (e.g. big picture window for view, double hung window to allow cleaning on second story).

Honesty goes a LONG way when choosing a professional to make your impact window installation work for you, your home, and your pockets. Despite how it may seem, there are window installation professionals out there who actually care about being upfront, honest, and operating with integrity.

Mister Window's Answer:

If we break it down into two segments, one is a very basic answer and one is analytical (for all my analytical guys and gals). 

First, the basic answer: impact windows will cost you anywhere from $1,200 to $2,200 per window. Included in that cost is permitting, ordering, measuring, installation, and removal. Based on how big your windows are and their style and configuration, the prices can go up and down inside that scope.

These are industry averages – if you have a huge window way outside the norm, that could cause it to increase in price up to $20,000. If you are just starting the process and have no idea how much impact windows cost, a good estimate to budget for is about $1,800 per window.

When you are in the beginning stages of window and door replacement, the team at Mister Window is more than happy to have a conversation to help introduce you to it and determine what is the best brand, make, and model for your family. We are a very laidback family-owned company that does not mind coming out at no cost to you to give you a quote. This way you know exactly what you’re looking for, if it’s something you want to finance or pay cash for, etc. 

Right now, 12 months at 0% interest is our most popular plan that prevents you from putting down a hefty down payment.

The other side of the equation that people don’t typically understand or experience is that the cost of windows and doors goes up every single year. In 2021 there has already been two price increases and there are talks about being a third, which is unheard of. However, the demand for impact products in Florida has gone up so much that it’s pushing costs forward. If you are preparing how much to budget, you can literally save money by purchasing sooner rather than later. At the very least you can expect one price increase per year.

The best/least expensive time to purchase is always yesterday.

Now, here is the nerdy answer: The cost of the window is determined by its size. To use an analogy, glass is like ice. If you have a huge lake that freezes over and you want to skate on it, you would want that ice to be extremely thick in older for it to hold up. If it is a smaller surface area, the ice doesn’t have to be quite as thick because it’s more dependent on the edges and has more support.

Glass and windows are the same. As the commodity sizes increase, so does the thickness and density of the glass, and therefore the prices increases faster. 

A bigger window is also priced higher because manufacturers won’t sell as many of them as smaller windows. The manufacturer has to pay the same amount to test every window and make sure it meets codes and certification, so a bigger window that sells less often will cost more to test and will be sold at a higher premium.

It may be the right time for you to replace your windows and doors. But how do you know? And how do you choose the best option for your home?

Selecting the right replacement windows or doors can be challenging. Many people find themselves chasing down estimates or sifting through product catalogs when they should be enjoying the benefits of new doors and windows inside their home and know exactly how much they will have to spend.

Replacing windows and doors can be much easier. You can eliminate much of the stress of repairs and replacements with four key components: a free home consultation, a highly detailed proposal on what to expect, final measurements and order to the manufacturer, and a seamless installation that’s always on schedule. 

When you work with Mister Window, you can always expect a knowledgeable team that delivers custom options and quality communication through the entire replacement and installation process, as we’ve been doing since we opened our doors in 1977.

Katy Betz

Florida Homeowner

"Just had 13 windows replaced a week ago & already we've noticed a difference in the temperate of the house being cooler. We had nasty 15-year-old single pane windows & went with the Shwinco impact windows. We are very happy with the look of the new windows, the installation guys were amazing - considerate of our belongings & time, very polite, showed up when they said they would & cleaned up after they were done. Everyone that we dealt with in person, over the phone or via email made it a pleasant experience & they all did a great job!"

Sharon S.

Florida Homeowner

"We had 3 impact windows installed by Mr. Window. From the initial contact with Kalvin to the installation with Richard, Josh and the rest of the team to the final trim work by Shane (who also washed all the windows inside and out!), the experience was fantastic!!! They were always on time, very friendly, professional and extremely considerate of your home. You could not even tell any work was done as they totally cleaned up after themselves. We highly recommend Mister Window for all your window needs!!!"
