- Specialty and custom windows for historic homes
Why should I replace my windows instead of repairing old ones?
If your windows are old (20-30+ years), have rotted frames, visible warping, leaks, or poor insulation, replacement often offers better value. New windows improve energy efficiency, reduce drafts/heating costs, and enhance both comfort and curb appeal. Studies show Boston homeowners can recoup a major portion of replacement cost in resale value.
How much does window installation cost in Boston?
Typical window installation costs in Boston range between $1,800 and $2,500 for standard replacement windows, depending on size, material, and number of windows.
Custom or specialty style windows (bay, bow, large picture, etc.) cost more, especially when high-end materials or complicated installation are required.
What material options are there, and how do I choose?
Common material options include vinyl, fiberglass, wood, or composite frames. Homeowners often choose based on:
- Best insulation performance (Boston winters are harsh)
- Low maintenance
- Style & architectural match for the home
- Cost vs lifespan
Do I need a permit to install new windows in Boston?
Yes, many window replacements in Boston require permits, especially if altering egress, changing sizes significantly, or in historic districts. A good installer should help you with this process.
How can I ensure the installer is trustworthy?
Look for:
- Local reviews and referrals
- Licensing and insurance
- Warranties on both materials and installation
- Clear, written estimates that include price, timeline, and scope
- Experience with Boston-area weather, energy codes, and home styles
How long will the window installation project take?
It depends on how many windows you’re replacing, how accessible the windows are, and whether any structural or trim work is needed. Many residential replacements can be completed in a day or two per window; larger or whole-house jobs may take a week or more. Rydica Home Solutions provides a timeline as part of the free estimate.
Will new windows help reduce my energy bills?
Absolutely. Modern windows designed for energy efficiency—double or triple pane, proper sealing, good frames—can significantly reduce heat loss in winter and heat gain in summer. This reduces reliance on heating/cooling, resulting in lower utility bills. Many Boston homeowners prioritize energy savings when choosing new windows.
