How Much Does Window Replacement Cost in Ontario?

Whole-home window replacement in Ontario typically costs $9,000 to $20,000 for vinyl windows — about $600 per window installed.

Your total depends on how many openings you replace, the window styles, and the glass package.

What Affects the Price

  • Number of openings — whole-home projects lower the per-window install cost.
  • Window style — casement, awning, and bay/bow windows cost more than sliders and single-hungs.
  • Glass package — triple-pane, low-E coatings, and argon fill add cost but improve efficiency.
  • Installation type — full-frame replacement costs more than a retrofit (insert) install but is better when frames are rotted.
