Group your windows by age, frame material, and condition. Get a verdict for each group, a real cost estimate, and a recommended path.
We don't sell windows and we don't profit from the install. Most contractors push replacement because the margin is better. Plenty of older windows are perfectly fixable for under $400 a unit. This tool tells you which is which.
Most homes have 2-4 distinct groups. Examples: "first-floor original wood double-hungs from 1985" and "second-floor replacement vinyls from 2010." Group anything you'd reasonably treat the same way.
Updates live as you adjust groups above. Cost estimates are 2026 USD midpoints; actual quotes vary by frame material, window size, and your local labor market.
A contractor in your home can spot things a calculator can't: lead-paint risk on pre-1978 wood, parts availability for older brands, hidden frame rot. Our partner installers do the assessment free and tell you when repair is the right call — even though their margin is better on replacement.
We'll never share your info. You'll hear from a Benefitra marketing-client window installer within 1 business day.
How this estimate works. Decisions follow industry-standard heuristics: irreparable seal failures, rotted wood frames, and severe drafts in older units drive replace; intact frames with hardware or minor seal issues are usually repair-eligible. Repair costs are summed from typical line items: sash/balance hardware $80–$200, lock/operator $40–$150, IGU replacement (insulated glass swap leaving the frame) $150–$400, wood frame paint + reglaze $200–$500. Replace cost uses $700/window as a national midpoint for double-pane vinyl/composite installation. Actual quotes vary 25–50% by market. This tool is for informational purposes; a real in-home assessment is the only way to be sure.
