Cheap vinyl windows

Cheap vinyl windows are actually worth it sometimes! 


Most websites and "authorities" will tell you that cheap vinyl windows are not a good investment and will fall apart in a short time. That's not really the truth though because some vinyl windows can actually be pretty inexpensive if you do your homework and find the right kind.

I'm not advocating that you should go with any window you find that's cheaper than others, but you can definitely find some really good deals for new vinyl replacement windows installed fairly cheap.

Cheap is a relative term don't forget. What's 'cheap' to you can be expensive to others, and vice versa.

You can find great windows for a really cheap price!


A great example of cheap windows is the ones that Window World, Inc offers. I am in no way affiliated with Window World, but I am familiar with the products they sell. You'll find them located in nearly any state within the U.S. and you shouldn't have any trouble finding them in your area. Some other vinyl replacement window companies that offer low cost window installation are


  1. Window World
  2. Larmco
  3. Mr Handyman
  4. Window Depot USA
These companies advertise and carry very low priced window installation. Keep in mind a few things: 
  • These companies subcontract their window installation to local contractors
  • The advertised price is typically a very basic vinyl window and you'll need to add a few costs to include the features you may be looking for (such as argon gas, tax credit qualification, window capping.)
  • They DO use nationally recognized window brands.
The reason these companies can sell  cheap vinyl replacement windows at such a low cost is because they do so much volume. The installers don't get paid very much at all per job, but they end up making a good living because they are constantly kept busy with work, so it adds up in the long run. 

A typical professional window installer will usually charge around $75-$200 per window installed for basic double hungs, but for example a Window World installer will make only around $35. This savings is completely passed on to you, so it's often a good deal!
