How Connecticut compares with nearby states
Connecticut ranks 14 of 51 (the 50 states plus DC) for windows, where 1 is the most expensive. The costliest is Hawaii at $11,600 and the cheapest Arkansas at $8,750, both for 10 windows at the midpoint. Connecticut sits at $9,800. The five states closest by workforce center are listed below.
| State | Distance | Range | Midpoint | vs. here |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| New York | 80 miles away | $4,950 – $16,300 | $10,600 | +8% |
| Rhode Island | 80 miles away | $4,500 – $14,800 | $9,650 | −2% |
| Massachusetts | 110 miles away | $5,250 – $16,700 | $11,000 | +12% |

Connecticut metro-by-metro prices
1 of the 5 metros sit above the statewide midpoint of $9,800, and the top-to-bottom gap is 3%. Each row prices the default size with that metro's own BLS wages and BEA price levels, so the gap between rows is real local variation rather than a flat markup.
| Metro | Range (10 windows) | Midpoint | vs. state |
|---|---|---|---|
| Hartford, CT | $4,700 – $15,300 | $10,000 | +2% |
| New Haven, CT | $4,600 – $15,100 | $9,850 | level |
| Bridgeport, CT | $4,550 – $15,100 | $9,800 | level |
| Norwich, CT | $4,550 – $15,000 | $9,800 | level |
| Waterbury, CT | $4,550 – $15,000 | $9,750 | −1% |
Why two Connecticut quotes can differ
Frame material
Vinyl windows run $350-$1,500 each installed, fiberglass $400-$2,000, composite $400-$2,300, and wood $800-$3,800 (HomeGuide).
Window type
Single-hung and picture windows are cheapest; bay and bow windows can reach $3,000-$8,000+.
Count
Replacing 10 to 15 windows runs $4,500-$22,500; at 25 windows it is $11,250-$37,500.
Permit
Window permits are $50-$200 each, or $400-$600 total for a multi-window job, and are often only needed when you change the opening (HomeGuide). No permit fee is included here because many cities do not ask for one on same-size replacements.
What glaziers and the other trades earn in Connecticut
Connecticut's labor line is priced from 3 trades, each compared with its US median wage. After weighting by each trade's share of the work, the state comes out at 1.10 times the national level.
Glaziers (47-2121), 50% of the weighting: a median of $30.69 an hour, 12% above the US median of $27.44. The middle half of them earn between $27.42 and $38.41 an hour. About 690 work in the state. That is 4.1 per 10,000 jobs, compared with 3.8 nationally, so the supply of crews looks typical.
Carpenters (47-2031), 40% of the weighting: a median of $30.80 an hour, 6% above the US median of $29.12. The middle half of them earn between $27.66 and $38.86 an hour. About 5,160 work in the state. That is 30.4 per 10,000 jobs, compared with 43.1 nationally, so expect fewer local crews to bid.
For general maintenance and repair workers (49-9071, weighted 10%) the local median is $27.70 an hour, which is 16% above the national $23.84. The middle half of them earn between $21.89 and $34.21 an hour. BLS counts 11,700 of them working in the state, 69.0 for every 10,000 jobs (US: 98.4), so the local bench is thinner than average.
A crew paid at the 75th percentile for glaziers ($38.41 an hour) would add about $370 to the statewide midpoint; one at the 25th percentile ($27.42) would take off about $160. Use that as a rough guide to how far a bid can sit from our midpoint on wages alone.
BLS counts 1,696,170 jobs across Connecticut (May 2025), which is 1.1% of US employment.
| Trade | Weight | 25th pct | Median | 75th pct | US median | Ratio | Level used |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Glaziers (47-2121) | 50% | $27.42 | $30.69 | $38.41 | $27.44 | 1.12 | state |
| Carpenters (47-2031) | 40% | $27.66 | $30.80 | $38.86 | $29.12 | 1.06 | state |
| General maintenance and repair workers (49-9071) | 10% | $21.89 | $27.70 | $34.21 | $23.84 | 1.16 | state |
| Blended | 100% | 1.10 | |||||
When Connecticut weather lets you replace
Weather decides when exterior installation can happen, and Connecticut is not uniform. The table uses NOAA's 1991-2020 climate normals from the weather station nearest each metro we cover, and counts the months that are neither cold nor hot enough to complicate the job.
Every Connecticut metro on the list has 9 comfortable months, though rainfall ranges from 42 inches a year in New Haven to 52 in Norwich.
We do not adjust prices by month, because we have no reliable published data on seasonal pricing. Timing is still worth raising when you collect bids.
| Metro | Jan avg low °F | Jul avg high °F | Precip (in/yr) | Comfortable months |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Hartford | 20 | 85 | 43 | 9: March through November |
| Bridgeport | 24 | 83 | 44 | 9: March through November |
| New Haven | 23 | 82 | 42 | 9: March through November |
| Waterbury | 19 | 84 | 45 | 9: March through November |
| Norwich | 21 | 84 | 52 | 9: March through November |
