New York City homeowners are discovering that upgrading aging windows is one of the fastest ways to improve comfort, curb appeal, and energy performance. Yet one question always comes first: “What will window replacement NYC cost?” CountBricks provides the most precise answer in seconds. By combining real-time material pricing, local labor rates, and voice-driven scope capture, our AI platform eliminates guesswork and delivers crystal-clear budgets you can trust.
• Energy codes are tightening and utility bills keep rising.
• Pre-1960 masonry buildings often hide rotted frames, broken weights, and single-pane glass.
• Modern double- and triple-pane units slash noise from traffic, sirens, and street cafés.
• Tax incentives and green financing are increasingly tied to verified energy savings.
CountBricks tracks every regulatory change and incentive so your estimate reflects the full financial picture rather than just a line-item price.
The final number depends on four factors—unit selection, installation complexity, building requirements, and project management. Below we explain how each impacts the budget and how CountBricks keeps every variable transparent.
• Vinyl double-hung: entry point for brownstone rear elevations, averaging $450–$650 each.
• Fiberglass casement: preferred for landmark façades requiring slim profiles, averaging $750–$1,100.
• Aluminum tilt-turn: high-rise condos demand strength and air-tightness, averaging $900–$1,400.
• Wood clad: historic districts often mandate authentic muntins, averaging $1,000–$1,800.
Because CountBricks links directly to supplier catalogs, your AI conversation instantly adjusts pricing when you switch from vinyl to aluminum or add Low-E coatings.
NYC makes every trade unique, and window replacement is no exception.
• Ground-level pop-outs with easy dumpster access may run $180 per opening.
• Fifth-floor walk-ups demand extra crew and hoisting equipment, adding $250–$400 per opening.

Our AI engine factors elevator availability, street permits, and scaffold requirements the moment you mention them during the takeoff, preventing mid-project surprises.
CountBricks updates code libraries weekly, including:
• NYC Energy Conservation Code U-factor thresholds
