Cheapest option: Vinyl at $3,619.00Vinyl windows offer the lowest cost and require minimal maintenance. Wood windows provide the best aesthetics and insulation but cost more and need periodic upkeep. Fiberglass combines durability with good thermal performance. Aluminum is lightweight and strong but conducts heat. All totals include installation labor and contingency.
