Which New Jersey city is cheapest for windows?
0 of the 3 metros sit above the statewide midpoint of $10,700, and the top-to-bottom gap is 2%. 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.

| Vineland, NJ | $4,750 – $15,600 | $10,200 | −5% |

What glaziers and the other trades earn in New Jersey
New Jersey'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 1.15 times the national level.
Glaziers (47-2121), 50% of the weighting: a median of $34.08 an hour, 24% above the US median of $27.44. The middle half of them earn between $27.65 and $46.36 an hour. About 820 work in the state. That is 1.9 per 10,000 jobs, compared with 3.8 nationally, so expect fewer local crews to bid.
Carpenters (47-2031), 40% of the weighting: a median of $30.77 an hour, 6% above the US median of $29.12. The middle half of them earn between $24.63 and $38.67 an hour. About 14,230 work in the state. That is 33.2 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 $26.35 an hour, which is 11% above the national $23.84. The middle half of them earn between $21.93 and $32.07 an hour. BLS counts 37,350 of them working in the state, 87.1 for every 10,000 jobs (US: 98.4), so the local bench is about average.
A crew paid at the 75th percentile for glaziers ($46.36 an hour) would add about $600 to the statewide midpoint; one at the 25th percentile ($27.65) would take off about $310. Use that as a rough guide to how far a bid can sit from our midpoint on wages alone.
BLS counts 4,285,720 jobs across New Jersey (May 2025), which is 2.8% of US employment.
| Trade | Weight | 25th pct | Median | 75th pct | US median | Ratio | Level used |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Glaziers (47-2121) | 50% | $27.65 | $34.08 | $46.36 | $27.44 | 1.24 | state |
| Carpenters (47-2031) | 40% | $24.63 | $30.77 | $38.67 | $29.12 | 1.06 | state |

When New Jersey weather lets you replace
Weather decides when exterior installation can happen, and New Jersey 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.
Vineland has the longest comfortable season of the metros we cover in New Jersey at 11 months (February through December); Trenton has the shortest at 9 (March through November). Rainfall runs from 43 inches a year in Vineland to 46 inches in Trenton.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Trenton | 24 | 86 | 46 | 9: March through November |
| Atlantic City | 30 | 80 | 44 | 10: March through December |
| Vineland | 24 | 86 | 43 | 11: February through December |

Window type
Single-hung and picture windows are cheapest; bay and bow windows can reach $3,000-$8,000+.

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.
