Cost by window count and install type
Windows are priced per opening. Frame material and whether the crew does a retrofit (insert) or full-frame install drive the spread. Every row is priced against the Las Vegas median.
| Scope | What it includes | Typical installed cost |
|---|---|---|
| 5 windows — retrofit | Insert into sound existing frames, vinyl | $5,700 – $8,200 |
| 10 windows — retrofit | Typical partial-home replacement | $11,400 – $15,500 |
| 15 windows — mixed | Most of a single-family home | $16,300 – $22,000 |
| 20 windows — full-frame | Whole-home, frames and trim replaced | $22,000 – $30,200 |
| 10 windows — impact / structural | Impact-rated or egress-corrected openings | $18,700 – $26,100 |
- • Retrofit inserts keep the existing frame and cost less; full-frame replacement is required once the frame or sill is rotted or the opening is being resized.
- • Rough-opening changes and egress corrections turn a window job into a permitted structural job.
- • Frame material sets the floor: vinyl is the value option, fiberglass and clad-wood carry a premium, aluminum is mostly a warm-climate product.
- • In wind-borne debris regions the glazing package, not the frame, is the biggest single line item.
Basis: Each scope is priced as a multiple of the modeled Las Vegas median for window replacement, so the scenarios, the size table and the calculator always agree. · Hometriva methodology

Frequently asked questions
Do I need a permit to replace windows in Florida?
Yes. Window replacement is a permitted alteration statewide because the opening protection and attachment must meet the wind-load requirements of the Florida Building Code. Product approval numbers are submitted with the application.
Are impact windows worth it in Florida?
Impact windows typically cost 40-70% more than standard units but can replace shutters entirely and often qualify for a wind mitigation insurance credit. In HVHZ counties, opening protection is required, so the practical choice is impact glass or approved shutters.
