When you’re thinking about replacing your windows, onequestion is almost always at the top of the list:

“What’s the ballpark cost ... and is it worth it?”

It’s a fair question. Window replacement isn’t something youdo every year, and most homeowners want to know they’re investing in somethingthat will perform, look great, and last for decades.

If you live in Waukesha, Milwaukee, Madison, oranywhere in Southeastern Wisconsin, you’re not just looking for somethingpretty ... you need windows that can handle months of freezing cold, bigtemperature swings, and the occasional summer heat wave.

Andersen has been a trusted name in windows for more than acentury, and their 100, 400, and A-Series lines offer solutions for a widerange of homes and budgets.

Installed Pricing in Wisconsin

These price ranges include the window unit itself, professional installation, insulating and cladding the exterior trim, and replacing the interior casing if needed:

• 100 Series (Fibrex® Composite): $1,500–$2,000
• 400 Series (Wood Interior / Vinyl-Clad Exterior): $1,800–$2,400
• A-Series (Architectural Grade): $2,000–$3,000

If you already have Andersen windows and just need to replace a few, we can match the style and finish so the new ones blend seamlessly with your existing ones.

Factors That Influence Your Final Cost

No two window projects are exactly alike. Here’s what impacts the final price:

1. Window Size & Style

• Standard double-hung or sliding windows are typically less expensive than large picture, bay, or specialty-shaped windows.
• Oversized or custom-shaped windows require more material and may involve more complex installation.

2. Product Line & Features

• 100 Series is the most cost-effective, ideal for modern, low-maintenance designs.
• 400 Series offers a timeless wood interior that can be stained or painted.
• A-Series is the premium option with the most design flexibility, color choices, and the strength to handle large or unique shapes.

3. Glass Options

• Double-pane glass meets the needs of most Wisconsin homes.
• Triple-pane glass qualifies for the new Energy Star credit, but the credit is relatively small compared to the extra cost, making double-pane the more common choice.

4. Condition of Existing Frames

• If your window frames are rotted, warped, or out of square, we may need to do additional carpentry before installing the new units.

5. Number of Windows

• Replacing     multiple windows at once often brings down the per-window cost.

6. Installation Complexity

• Second-story windows, hard-to-reach locations, and tricky access points can increase labor costs.

Why Andersen Windows Are Worth the Price

You can certainly find cheaper windows. But many lower-costoptions use materials that don’t stand up well to Wisconsin’s weather. Thatmeans replacing them again much sooner ... and spending more in the long run.

With Andersen, you’re investing in:

• Fibrex® composite or real wood interiors that won’t warp, crack, or rot
• Proven weather performance for our climate zone
• 20–40+ year lifespan when installed and maintained properly
• Better resale value because Andersen is a recognized premium brand
• Design flexibility from modern to traditional to architectural

Example: What a Real Project Might Look Like

A homeowner in Waukesha replaced ten original single-pane wood windows with Andersen 400 Series double-pane units. The installed price came to about $21,000, and they reported:

• Noticeably lower heating bills that first winter
• No more drafts near seating areas
• A quieter home, especially during traffic hours
• Improved curb appeal that boosted their appraisal value
