The cost to replace windows and doors varies depending on the extent of the remodel required. In your case, you're putting in a smaller window, which is often easier than putting in a larger window. However, keep in mind that patching or replacement of exterior siding or stucco will be required and you want the job to look professional. Also, labor rates vary greatly from region to region. However, you can expect to pay "a few hundred dollars" per window or door for a complete job, excluding the cost of the window or door itself, which can vary greatly depending on the brand. Ask to see if the installation price includes repainting the interior and exterior, as well as any new trim that may be required. Above all, be sure that the contractor flashes the windows properly so you avoid leakage. Be advised that if these windows are egress windows in a bedroom, a minimum size and height above the floor is required by code. Do not reduce the size of an egress window below the minimum permissible by code. We recommend that you get at least 3 estimates from licensed contractors or window companies to compare bids for your market. The Home Depot can also provide quotes and offers a quality selection.
