Signs It’s Time
- Fog or moisture between the panes. The seal on the insulated glass has failed.
- Drafts and hot spots. Rooms on the west or south side that never cool down in summer.
- Sashes that stick or won’t stay up. Worn balances or warped frames.
- Single-pane or old aluminum frames. Common in older houses and a big source of heat gain and loss.
- Hail or storm damage. Cracked glass, dented frames or torn screens after a storm.
Your Options
Vinyl
The most common replacement frame. Low upkeep and usually the lowest price per window.
Energy-efficient glass
Low-E coatings and gas fills that cut summer heat gain. How to read the label.
Double-hung
Both sashes move and tilt in for cleaning. The standard in many Broken Arrow homes.
Bay & bow
Windows that project out from the wall. More light and a deeper sill.
Patio doors
Replacing a sticky or drafty sliding glass door to the backyard.
What It Costs
HomeGuide’s figures assume single-hung windows, the simplest type. Size, frame material, glass upgrades, interior and exterior trim, and whether the old frame comes out all move the price. The cost guide walks through it with sources.
Insert vs. Full-Frame Replacement
An insert (sometimes called pocket) replacement fits a new window inside the existing frame. It’s faster and leaves interior trim and siding alone. A full-frame replacement removes everything down to the rough opening, which lets the installer fix rot and re-flash the opening but costs more. Ask which one the quote includes and why.
Homes Built Before 1978: Lead-Safe Installers
Replacing windows disturbs painted frames, sills and trim. In homes built before 1978, that paint may contain lead. Under the federal EPA Renovation, Repair and Painting (RRP) rule, companies paid to do this work in pre-1978 homes must be EPA lead-safe certified firms and follow lead-safe work practices: containment, limited dust, and careful cleanup. Ask for the firm’s certification before you sign, and expect to get the “Renovate Right” lead pamphlet before work starts.
In-Home Sales and Your Right to Cancel
Some window companies sell during an in-home appointment. Under the FTC’s Cooling-Off Rule, many sales made at your home give you three business days to cancel, and the seller must give you a cancellation form. Exceptions apply, so read the contract. Don’t sign the same day if you feel pressured.
How It Works
- Send the quote form. Tell us how many windows, which rooms and when the house was built.
- A local company contacts you. Your request goes to an independent window company that serves Broken Arrow.
- Measurement and written estimate. They measure each opening and quote the product and installation method.
- Install. Custom windows are ordered to size, then most homes are done in a day or two.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does window replacement cost?
HomeGuide puts the average at $450–$1,500 per single-hung window installed and $4,500–$22,500 for 10 to 15 windows (checked Nov 3, 2026). Larger windows, bays, bows and upgrades cost more.
My house was built before 1978. Does that matter?
Yes. Federal EPA rules require companies replacing windows in pre-1978 homes to be lead-safe certified firms and follow lead-safe practices. Ask for the certification.
Do I need a permit to replace windows?
Same-size replacements often don’t, but changing the size of an opening can. Ask the installer and confirm with the City of Broken Arrow.
Can I cancel after an in-home sales visit?
Under the FTC Cooling-Off Rule, many in-home sales can be canceled within three business days. Exceptions apply. Read your contract.
