Window replacement: what moves the price in Maryland
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.
Weather windows across Maryland
Season matters for windows. For each Maryland metro below we took NOAA's 1991-2020 monthly normals from the nearest suitable station and counted comfortable months for exterior installation.
Lexington Park has the longest comfortable season of the metros we cover in Maryland at 12 months; Hagerstown has the shortest at 9 (March through November). Rainfall runs from 44 inches a year in Hagerstown to 45 inches in Lexington Park.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Baltimore | 30 | 90 | 44 | 10: February through June and August through December |
| Hagerstown | 22 | 86 | 44 | 9: March through November |
| Lexington Park | 30 | 87 | 45 | 12: all year |
Maryland 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 1.04 for Maryland.
For glaziers (47-2121, weighted 50%) the local median is $28.79 an hour, which is 5% above the national $27.44. The middle half of them earn between $23.50 and $35.04 an hour. BLS counts 1,820 of them working in the state, 6.6 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 $30.27 an hour, which is 4% above the national $29.12. The middle half of them earn between $25.11 and $36.93 an hour. BLS counts 9,770 of them working in the state, 35.4 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 $24.76 an hour, 4% above the US median of $23.84. The middle half of them earn between $21.16 and $30.02 an hour. About 23,730 work in the state. That is 85.9 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 ($35.04 an hour) would add about $300 to the statewide midpoint; one at the 25th percentile ($23.50) would take off about $260. Use that as a rough guide to how far a bid can sit from our midpoint on wages alone.
BLS counts 2,763,030 jobs across Maryland (May 2025), which is 1.8% of US employment.
| Trade | Weight | 25th pct | Median | 75th pct | US median | Ratio | Level used |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Glaziers (47-2121) | 50% | $23.50 | $28.79 | $35.04 | $27.44 | 1.05 | state |
