Window replacement: what moves the price in Georgia
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.

Which Georgia city is cheapest for windows?
1 of the 10 metros sit above the statewide midpoint of $9,150, and the top-to-bottom gap is 6%. 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.

|---|---|---|---|
| Atlanta, GA | $4,200 – $14,400 | $9,300 | +2% |
| Augusta, GA | $4,150 – $14,100 | $9,100 | level |

When Georgia weather lets you replace
Season matters for windows. For each Georgia metro below we took NOAA's 1991-2020 monthly normals from the nearest suitable station and counted comfortable months for exterior installation.
Gainesville has the longest comfortable season of the metros we cover in Georgia at 12 months; Albany has the shortest at 9 (September through May). Rainfall runs from 45 inches a year in Augusta to 55 inches in Dalton.
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.

Georgia labor market for windows
Statewide wages come from BLS's state-level estimates, which blend big cities with small towns and rural areas. 3 trades drive the labor line for this job, and the weighted ratio against the national wage level is 0.80 for Georgia.
For glaziers (47-2121, weighted 50%) the local median is $20.84 an hour, which is 24% below the national $27.44. The middle half of them earn between $16.67 and $28.53 an hour. BLS counts 2,530 of them working in the state, 5.2 for every 10,000 jobs (US: 3.8), so the local bench is deeper than average.
For carpenters (47-2031, weighted 40%) the local median is $23.72 an hour, which is 19% below the national $29.12. The middle half of them earn between $20.29 and $28.00 an hour. BLS counts 9,190 of them working in the state, 18.8 for every 10,000 jobs (US: 43.1), so the local bench is thinner than average.
General maintenance and repair workers (49-9071), 10% of the weighting: a median of $22.92 an hour, 4% below the US median of $23.84. The middle half of them earn between $18.82 and $28.85 an hour. About 48,430 work in the state. That is 99.1 per 10,000 jobs, compared with 98.4 nationally, so the supply of crews looks typical.
A crew paid at the 75th percentile for glaziers ($28.53 an hour) would add about $370 to the statewide midpoint; one at the 25th percentile ($16.67) would take off about $200. Use that as a rough guide to how far a bid can sit from our midpoint on wages alone.
BLS counts 4,889,170 jobs across Georgia (May 2025), which is 3.1% of US employment.
| Trade | Weight | 25th pct | Median | 75th pct | US median | Ratio | Level used |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Glaziers (47-2121) | 50% | $16.67 | $20.84 | $28.53 | $27.44 | 0.76 | state |
| Carpenters (47-2031) | 40% | $20.29 | $23.72 | $28.00 | $29.12 | 0.81 | state |
