Let's use round numbers and say I paid $200 per window for 10 windows.


Can you get windows that cheap? Decent ones?

I ask because I just installed two new windows, Marvin Integrity
casements. The client paid almost $700 for them (but will be able to
claim a 30% tax credit for them by the end of this year).

These were low-end windows (wood interiors but vinyl exteriors). And I
assume that double-hungs will be more expensive than casements.

From my memory, casements are more than double hungs, and more than
side sliders (more, and more expensive, hardware) and solid vinyls are
often less expensive than the "hybrids".

Depends on the size too. Large casement sashes need to be stronger
than double-hung sashes of the same size.
