We've replaced almost all of the windows in our house. Our cost was more significantly more than $300 a window, but we had VERY specific needs. We wanted wood double hung windows (not vinyl) that kept the historic integrity of our house. (It's a 130 year old farm house.) We also had to have quite a bit of carpentry/ construction done in several places. A number of the windows (given the age of the house) had to be custom built because they were not a standard size. Keeping all that in mind, our project ran about $20,000 for 21 windows. (We got several quotes before we started the project and the company we used came in at the low end, but not the bottom, but we liked them so we decided to use their services instead of going with the least expensive bid.) We did it in two installments. The first 14 were done in 2004 and the remaining were done this past fall. We used Pella and were very pleased with the results both times. They were very upfront about the cost of the project, including the windows themselves and the extra labor to replace rotting wood, replace crank windows with double hungs, etc. I could not recommend then more.
