Common Questions

For a standard 3-bedroom detached home with 10 to 15 windows, Calgary homeowners should budget between $8,000 and $20,000 for a complete professional replacement.

Triple-pane glass, which is highly recommended for Calgary's -30°C winters, typically adds 15% to 25% to the total project cost compared to standard double-pane units.

In Calgary, a retrofit (insert) installation costs between $250 and $500 per window, while a full-frame replacement ranges from $500 to over $1,000 per unit due to the additional labor and material required.

Permits are generally required if you are enlarging the window opening or changing the structural header. Fees typically range from $50 to $150 per window or a flat project fee depending on the scope.
