Common Questions

For a standard 3-bedroom home with 10 to 16 windows, Calgary homeowners should expect a total installed cost ranging from $8,000 to $20,000. The final price depends heavily on whether you choose double-pane or triple-pane glass.

Triple-pane windows typically cost 20% to 30% more than double-pane options. However, they are highly recommended for Calgary's climate to reduce heat loss and condensation during extreme winter temperature swings.

A full-frame replacement, which removes the entire window down to the rough opening, typically costs 10% to 15% more than a retrofit (insert) installation. Full-frame is often necessary in older Calgary homes to address hidden moisture or rot.

Installing a new egress-compliant basement window typically costs between $3,500 and $5,000 per unit. This higher price includes the cost of concrete cutting, excavation for a window well, and structural reinforcement.
