Window Replacement including frames and wood rot repair. HELP!

We are closing on a house Sept 15th, and during the inspection we found out that the windows on the Four Season Sunroom have to be replaced (Wood Rot) and that their was a Quote given to the previous owners 5 years ago for the same windows and they never did anything about it (We know the owner of the company that looked at those windows)

We are trying to determine the cost to replace all these, we have a contractor going in later this week to give us a quote.  At that point we can ask seller for $$ or just suck it up ourselves.  I just have no idea what the cost will be - 5K? 15K? 25K?

Thanks!

Re: Window Replacement including frames and wood rot repair. HELP!

  • It completely depends on the quality of window you replace it with. Vinyl will be cheaper, a composite or fiberglass will be more. Your windows are fairly large, I would estimate $1,500 per window fully installed for a good quality window. I would recommend Renewal by Andersen if you have a retailer in your area.

  • If you've got the picture, you could try to send it to a window replacement place like Champion for a general estimate.  But definitely mention it in your follow-up requests from the inspection.  I'd say that's a huge issue and should be resolved somewhat by previous owners.
