FAQs

• How much does window replacement cost in Houston?

  The national average for the cost of window replacements ranges from $200 to $1,800 per window, with an average of $280 per window. In Houston, expect replacement windows to cost between $200 and $700 plus labor costs, with higher-end and complicated window replacements costing closer to $1,000. 

  Note: Costs referenced here were accurate at the time of publication, but pricing is subject to change. For the most accurate pricing information, contact the retailer of your choice about the specifics of your project.

• What is the cheapest time of year to replace windows?

  Winter is the off-season for many installers, and therefore homeowners might find discounts, deals, and lower costs on materials. Keep in mind, however, that anytime you’re replacing windows during extreme weather — hot or cold — or the more windows you replace, the higher your energy bill will be if you attempt to keep your home at a comfortable temperature. 

• How do I measure for replacement windows?

  It’s important when measuring for replacement windows to take all of your measurements from three separate points; for example, when measuring for the width of your window, you’ll want to measure across at the top, middle, and bottom of your window and then use the smallest measurement of the three when ordering your replacement windows. 

• What company makes the best replacement windows?

  Andersen Windows has a reputation for being one of the best replacement window companies based on their materials used, customer reviews, and extended warranties offered.  Based on your project’s specifications, Andersen Windows may be the right choice for you, or you may find a better fit working with another Houston window replacement company on this list.

The Blinds Tech and Electra Glass

• The Blinds Tech and Electra Glass are both businesses that ranked as Nominees in this year’s Best of the Best contest’s “Best Window Installation & Repair” category. You won’t find descriptions of these businesses like the ones above because although locals voted for their high-quality services, these businesses do not perform window replacement, installation or repair services; instead, they offer window-replacement-adjacent services. 

  The Blinds Tech is a local window treatment business focused on shades, blinds and shutter sales, installation and repairs. 

  Electra Glass specializes in privacy film. 

  You can visit either business’s website — linked above — to learn more about their services or to contact them directly.

Approach & Methodology

• Our Methodology

  Curator’s Picks: We rely on objective, third-party data from industry regulatory agencies, professional associations, nonprofits, trade groups, and member organizations to ensure each merchant or practitioner chosen holds the required certifications, permits, and credentials to meet industry standards. We also use these third parties to affirm each is in good standing with its industry’s governing body. Additionally, our team of professional curators comb through credible third-party sites trusted by and specific to each industry, social media pages and thousands of reviews each year to survey customer experience. Our “Curator’s Picks” include only businesses and/or professionals who meet these standards and the criteria we establish for each content piece.

  Contest Winners, Finalists and Nominees: Houston Chronicle’s “Best of the Best” is a longstanding online readers’ choice poll. Consumers nominate local businesses across a range of categories. After votes are tallied, the Houston Chronicle announces the businesses—winners and finalists—that received the most votes in each category. Additionally, Hearst’s “Best of” Curators feature the top 2 nominees, rounding out this list with the top 5 merchants in each category. On this page, the Curators have highlighted useful information about these businesses.
