Replacing window glass averages $285 per window nationally, with most homeowners paying $181 – $414.1,2 Angi (2026 data, drawn from 13,612 verified Angi Pros projects) and HomeAdvisor publish this average and range identically – the two are corporate siblings, and matching figures alone don’t establish independent corroboration.1,2 Fixr (updated August 2025) separately reports a national average range of $300 – $880, with a $375 average scoped to replacing clear glass on one standard-size 30” x 36” sliding double-pane window. Its low end is $200 (clear glass in a standard single-hung, single-pane window) and its high end $4,100 (all triple-pane glass in a bay window). Fixr’s figures are separately published, and the pages state no shared sourcing.3 Prices below are national averages*.
*National averages, not local quotes. Your price depends on glass type, window style and size, pane count, frame condition, and local labor rates.
A note on safety. Some window glass work happens at height – upper-story windows from ladders and skylight glass on roofs. Falls are the leading cause of death in construction work – 389 fatal falls out of 1,034 construction fatalities in 2024, according to OSHA (BLS data) – and OSHA specifically lists skylights among roof fall hazards. The prices below reflect professional installation.4

What the sources say
| Source | Headline figures | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Angi (2026 data, updated Sep 2026) | $285 average per window (13,612 verified projects); most homeowners $181 – $414 | Corporate sibling of HomeAdvisor; identical headline figures and glass-type and style tables |
| HomeAdvisor (2025 data, updated Jun 2026) | Identical $285 average and $181 – $414 normal range | Sibling-identical figures; matching figures alone don’t establish independent corroboration |
| Fixr (updated Aug 2025) | $375 average (clear glass, one standard 30” x 36” sliding double-pane window); average range $300 – $880; low $200; high $4,100 | Scoped average, low, and high each tied to a named window specification; separately published, pages state no shared sourcing |
The sibling pair’s tables are presented as per-window averages, while most of Fixr’s tables are labeled material-only – so where the same glass or style appears in both, the columns are not like-for-like, and each keeps its publisher’s basis.
Cost by glass type
Angi and HomeAdvisor publish an identical glass-type table (sibling-published figures, per-window averages as published). Fixr prices most of the same types on a material-only basis. Columns stay separate:1,2,3
| Glass type | Angi/HomeAdvisor (per window) | Fixr (material only) |
|---|---|---|
| Float | $150 – $400 | – |
| Tempered | $200 – $600 | $180 – $700 |
| Frosted | $300 – $800 | $350 – $800 |
| Laminated | $300 – $600 | $275 – $625 |
| Argon-filled | $400 – $900 | $375 – $850 |
| Low-E | $300 – $1,000 | $350 – $840 |
| Krypton-filled | $500 – $1,200 | $525 – $1,190 |
| Smart | $150 – $3,000 | – |
The Angi/HomeAdvisor column is each publisher’s per-window average cost as published; the Fixr column is material only. Rows with similar numbers across the two columns are measured on different bases and are not shared figures.
Cost by pane count
Both sides price by pane count, again on different bases – the sibling pair as per-window style averages, Fixr as material-only replacement glass:1,2,3
| Panes | Angi/HomeAdvisor (per window) | Fixr (material only) |
|---|---|---|
| Single-pane | $150 – $400 | $150 – $400 |
| Double-pane | $300 – $900 | $150 – $600 |
| Triple-pane | $400 – $1,000 | $400 – $950 |
Single-pane shows the same $150 – $400 span in both columns, but the bases differ (per-window average vs. material only), so it is not treated as a shared or corroborated figure.
Cost by window style
The sibling pair prices ten window styles; Fixr prices nine, including several the siblings don’t break out (storm, egress, sash, storefront). Fixr’s bay and bow figures cover all panes:1,2,3
| Window style | Angi/HomeAdvisor (per window) | Fixr (material only) |
|---|---|---|
| Sliding | $150 – $900 | – |
| Casement | $150 – $1,200 | $150 – $1,190 |
| Picture | $200 – $1,000 | $175 – $925 |
| Stained | $150 – $1,500 | – |
| Skylight | $150 – $3,000 | $150 – $3,500 |
| Bay | $500 – $3,800 | $320 – $3,800 (all panes) |
| Bow | $1,000 – $3,000 | $690 – $1,800 (all panes) |
| Storm | – | $100 – $400 |
| Egress | – | $100 – $800 |
| Sash | – | $100 – $950 |
| Storefront | – | $500 – $3,000 |
Basis note as above: sibling column per-window averages as published, Fixr column material only; similar numbers across columns are not like-for-like.
Cost by glass size
Angi reports size-driven glass replacement at $150 – $800 per window including labor, with standard sizes at the lower end and custom-cut or large panes higher. HomeAdvisor adds that thicker panes can require a frame replacement adding $180 – $600.1,2
Fixr publishes a size table on a material-only basis, priced for double-pane glass with each pane 1/2-inch thick:3
| Glass size | Fixr (material only) |
|---|---|
| 24” x 36” | $130 – $180 |
| 30” x 36” | $160 – $270 |
| 24” x 54” | $200 – $285 |
| 36” x 42” | $320 – $420 |
| 28” x 58” | $330 – $440 |
| 46” x 46” | $380 – $520 |
| 46” x 54” | $650 – $810 |

Frequently asked questions
How much does it cost to replace window glass?
Angi and HomeAdvisor report a $285 per-window average with most homeowners paying $181 – $414 (sibling-published figures). Fixr separately reports a $300 – $880 average range, with a $375 average for clear glass in one standard 30” x 36” sliding double-pane window.1,2,3

How much does double-pane glass replacement cost?
Angi and HomeAdvisor report $300 – $900 per window for double-pane glass (sibling-published). Fixr reports $150 – $600 on a material-only basis – a different basis, so the figures are not directly comparable.1,2,3
