Sacramento's Premier Home Remodeling Company
Sacramento is a region with warm weather into the early autumn, hot summers, and semi-cold winters. If you’re a Sacramento-area homeowner with older windows, you may want to replace them with energy-efficient windows to save money on your SMUD or PG&E bill. There are several high-quality manufacturers that make energy-efficient windows, such as Milgard and Andersen Windows & Doors. Below are some price ranges for replacement windows in Sacramento.
Replacement window and door costs in Sacramento vary based on material, style, and quantity. Standard vinyl windows typically range from $300 to $1,000 per unit. Wood framed, double-hung windows typically cost $750 to $1500 per unit. Energy-efficient double-pane or triple-paned windows can cost $900 to $1400 per unit, depending on the size and frame material. Bay and bow windows can cost between $950 and $3,800 per window for windows. Sliding windows can range from $400 to $1,300 per window. Hardware and structural modifications may add more to the total cost. Contact us for an on-site assessment to receive an accurate quote for your specific project.
If you are pricing multiple windows for a full window replacement project, most homeowners will pay somewhere between $8,000 and $15,000 to replace all their windows at once. This price will depend on the size, window type and quality, frame materials, labor, and installation.
California’s Title 24 energy standards for buildings require windows meet certain performance standards for energy insulation. All replacement windows must use windows with Low-E coating, which reflect heat and reduce thermal heat gain from solar rays. Replacing windows on a home in the Sacramento area may cost slightly more than in another part of the country.
| Window Type | Average Cost Per Unit (Installed) | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Vinyl Double-Hung | $300 – $1,000 | Most affordable, low maintenance |
| Wood Double-Hung | $750 – $1,500 | Elegant, classic look. Natural insulation |
| Energy-Efficient | $900 – $1,400 | reduced energy bills |
| Bay & Bow Windows | $950 – $3,800 | Increased natural light, impressive curb appeal |
| Sliding Windows | $400 – $1,300 | Modern design, wide openings |
Most homeowners in Sacramento get vinyl windows for a combination of price and utility. Some homeowners get wood framed windows, especially if it is a historic home. Energy efficient windows are a good choice for long-term savings and appraisal value.
| Number of Windows | Low Cost | Mid-Range | Premium or Custom |
|---|---|---|---|
| 8 windows | $3,000 – $4,500 | $4,800 – $6,000 | $10,000+ |
| 10 windows | $4,000 – $6,000 | $5,000 – $7,500 | $15,000+ |
| 15 windows | $6,500 – $9,000 | $8,000 – $12,000 | $20,000+ |
These price ranges are for standard sized windows. Premium windows can cost more.
There are many upsides to upgrading your home’s windows to energy-efficient ones.
Homeowners in Sacramento may qualify for rebates and energy incentives through programs offered by SMUD or PG&E. These rebates can reduce upfront costs and help lower monthly energy use. There are also state and federal rebates available for energy-efficient windows and home improvements. When you plan your window replacement, check what rebates are currently available—our team can help you navigate those details.
If you upgrade to ENERGY STAR energy-efficient windows from now until 2032, you can receive federal income tax credits through the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA). These credits are good for 30 percent of the cost of the windows and installation, up to a maximum of $600 per year. These tax credits are only good on existing homes in the US, not newly built homes. To claim these tax credits, use IRS Form 5695 when you file your federal income tax, for the year that you installed the windows.
California also has a program called Home Electrification and Appliance Rebates (HEEHRA) which can provide rebates for energy-efficient retrofits on homes in the Central Valley and Northern California.
