Which Mississippi city is cheapest for windows?
1 of the 3 metros sit above the statewide midpoint of $8,750, and the top-to-bottom gap is 1%. 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Gulfport, MS | $4,000 – $13,600 | $8,800 | +1% |
| Jackson, MS | $3,950 – $13,600 | $8,800 | level |
| Hattiesburg, MS | $3,950 – $13,500 | $8,750 | level |
Basic, standard or premium: Mississippi prices
Bands overlap on purpose, since a good standard job can cost as much as a light premium one. Below are the three bands for the default size, then a grid from a few windows (5 windows) to whole house (25 windows).
Basic
$3,950 to $7,800
Standard vinyl single-hung, same openings
Standard
$6,850 to $10,700
Mid-grade vinyl or composite, a few larger units
Premium
$9,750 to $13,600
Fiberglass or wood, large or custom sizes
| Size | Basic | Standard | Premium |
|---|---|---|---|
| a few windows (5 windows) | $2,000 – $3,900 | $3,400 – $5,350 | $4,850 – $6,800 |
| small house (10 windows) | $3,950 – $7,800 | $6,850 – $10,700 | $9,750 – $13,600 |

Why two Mississippi 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.
Mississippi labor market for windows
Mississippi'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 0.73 times the national level.
Glaziers (47-2121), 50% of the weighting: a median of $17.67 an hour, 36% below the US median of $27.44. The middle half of them earn between $16.87 and $22.11 an hour. About 820 work in the state. That is 7.1 per 10,000 jobs, compared with 3.8 nationally, which suggests plenty of local crews to bid.
Carpenters (47-2031), 40% of the weighting: a median of $23.39 an hour, 20% below the US median of $29.12. The middle half of them earn between $18.47 and $25.23 an hour. About 2,950 work in the state. That is 25.4 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 $21.32 an hour, which is 11% below the national $23.84. The middle half of them earn between $16.85 and $26.97 an hour. BLS counts 14,550 of them working in the state, 125.1 for every 10,000 jobs (US: 98.4), so the local bench is deeper than average.
A crew paid at the 75th percentile for glaziers ($22.11 an hour) would add about $220 to the statewide midpoint; one at the 25th percentile ($16.87) would take off about $40. Use that as a rough guide to how far a bid can sit from our midpoint on wages alone.
BLS counts 1,163,030 jobs across Mississippi (May 2025), which is 0.7% of US employment.
| Trade | Weight | 25th pct | Median | 75th pct | US median | Ratio | Level used |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Glaziers (47-2121) | 50% | $16.87 | $17.67 | $22.11 | $27.44 | 0.64 | state |
| Carpenters (47-2031) | 40% | $18.47 | $23.39 | $25.23 | $29.12 | 0.80 | state |
| General maintenance and repair workers (49-9071) | 10% | $16.85 | $21.32 | $26.97 | $23.84 | 0.89 | state |

Mississippi seasons and windows
Weather decides when exterior installation can happen, and Mississippi 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.
Gulfport has the longest comfortable season of the metros we cover in Mississippi at 10 months (September through June); Hattiesburg has the shortest at 9 (September through May). Rainfall runs from 51 inches a year in Jackson to 63 inches in Gulfport.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Jackson | 38 | 92 | 51 | 9: September through May |
| Gulfport | 42 | 90 | 63 | 10: September through June |
| Hattiesburg | 38 | 92 | 59 | 9: September through May |
