Replacement windows cost $545 to $699 per window with us in Massachusetts, installed. For a typical 10-window home, that works out to roughly $5,450 to $6,990, depending on the model you choose.
Those are our starting prices for a white double hung with basic installation, and they are the prices we quote in Essex County. Grids and colors add to them. Below is the full ladder, plus what an older Massachusetts house can change.
Our Installed Prices, Window By Window
| Model | Installed From | U-Value | A Good Fit For |
|---|---|---|---|
| Harvey Slimline | $545 | .29 | Tight budgets, rentals and homes you plan to sell soon |
| Gentek Series 3000 | $587 | .28 | A foam-insulated frame at a modest price |
| Harvey Classic, our best seller | $617 | .24 | Our best seller; fusion-welded with double-strength glass |
| Gentek Series 9000 | $683 | .22 | Triple pane, Energy Star Most Efficient |
| Harvey Tribute | $683 | .25 | Owners who want a contoured sash and hidden tilt latches |
| Harvey Homerun, our best value | $699 | .18 | Long stays and cold rooms; triple pane, custom built |
Each price covers a white double hung with basic installation by our own crew. Every window carries our transferable Lifetime Warranty, and every double hung we install has both sashes tilting in for cleaning.
Read the U-value column the way you read a golf score. Harvey explains that the lower the U-factor, the longer heat takes to pass through, so the window insulates better. Our ladder runs from .29 on the Slimline down to .18 on the Homerun.
Why A Seabrook Shop Quotes Massachusetts Homes
Our shop sits at 779 Lafayette Road in Seabrook, right on the Massachusetts line. Essex County is part of our regular service area, alongside southern New Hampshire and York County in Maine. You can see it on our Essex County service area page.
Most of the windows on the ladder come from Harvey Windows + Doors, a New England manufacturer based in Waltham, Massachusetts. Harvey dates back to 1961 and says all of its products are made in America. Our Harvey windows for Massachusetts page has more on the brand.
We also install Gentek windows, including the Series 3000 and Series 9000. Whichever you pick, every window is measured, ordered and installed by our own local crew.
What An Older Essex County House Can Change
If your house has some years on it, age can show up in the quote in a few specific ways. None of them are reasons to worry, but they are worth knowing before the measure.
- Lead paint rules. For homes built before 1978, EPA requires anyone paid to disturb painted surfaces to be certified in lead-safe work practices. EPA estimates that about three-quarters of U.S. homes built before 1978 still contain some lead-based paint.
- A Massachusetts program. EPA has authorized Massachusetts to run its own renovation, repair and painting program, so the state oversees this work here.
- The look of the house. Many older homes look right with divided glass. Colonial grids and exterior colors add to the base price, so decide early whether you want them.
- Openings and trim. Our starting prices include basic installation. If an opening needs more than that, the written quote says so before you commit.
- Other window styles. Bays, bows and shaped windows are priced at the quote. See our bay and bow windows and architectural shapes.
Before work starts on a pre-1978 home, ask about lead-safe practices. EPA’s advice to homeowners is to hire a contractor who is certified and trained in lead-safe work practices.
Picking The Right Rung On The Ladder
The most expensive window is not always the right one. Here is how we would think it through for a Massachusetts house.
- Selling within a few years, or buying for a rental? The Harvey Slimline at $545 has a slim welded frame and more glass. It is a solid window, and nobody needs to apologize for choosing it.
- Want the safe middle? The Harvey Classic at $617 is our best seller, with fusion-welded frames, double-strength glass and a .24 U-value.
- Care about the details up close? The Harvey Tribute at $683 has a contoured, beveled sash and hidden tilt latches.
- Long winters and a long stay? The Harvey Homerun at $699 is triple pane with a .18 U-value, the most efficient window we sell. It is also our best value: custom built by Harvey.
- Prefer Gentek? The Series 3000 at $587 has a foam-insulated frame. The Series 9000 at $683 is triple pane and Energy Star Most Efficient.
On a 10-window house, the gap between the Classic at $617 and the Homerun at $699 adds up. Whether triple pane earns that depends on how long you plan to stay and how cold your rooms run. Our guide to double pane vs triple pane windows walks through the trade.
Not every opening is a double hung. We also install sliding windows, casement and awning windows, basement hoppers and garden windows. Those are priced at the quote, and our guide to replacement window styles compares them.
You also do not have to do every window at once. Replacing the worst ones first is a sensible plan, and our guide to the signs you need new windows can help you rank them.
Comparing Quotes Fairly
If you collect more than one quote, line them up the same way. A low number on a lesser window is not a better deal, and a high number is not proof of quality.
- Same kind of window. Compare double hung to double hung, with the same number of panes.
- The U-value in writing. A lower number insulates better, so ask every company for it.
- Installation spelled out. Check that the price includes installation, and what happens if an opening needs more than basic work.
- Options counted. Grids and colors should be on the page, not added later.
- The warranty. Ask what it covers, and whether it transfers if you sell the house.
- Lead-safe work. For a pre-1978 home, ask how the crew handles painted surfaces.
Spreading The Cost Over Time
If paying all at once is the hard part, we offer financing through Synchrony. It runs 0% for 18 months*, with payments as low as $87/month* for a house full of windows. You can apply during the free in-home quote and get an answer in minutes. *Rates and terms dependent on qualifying credit.
