If you live in Annapolis and you have asked three window companies for a quote, you have probably seen prices swing from $400 to $1,200 per window for the exact same opening. That gap is brand, install method, and frame material. This page is the honest pricing reference DreamHome uses on actual 2026 Annapolis window jobs, organized by window count, material, and install method. The number on the page is the number on the contract.

Annapolis MD Window Replacement Pricing by Material (2026)
Annapolis mixes Colonial-era historic homes in the downtown core with 1950s-1980s waterfront and mid-century communities. Most Annapolis window installations we work on are in their second or third lifecycle, which means the pricing below reflects what we actually quote on real Annapolis homes in 2026.
Annapolis permit fees through City of Annapolis or Anne Arundel County run $100 to $280 depending on scope. All DreamHome estimates include the permit pull, the Anne Arundel County inspection coordination, and the final sign-off paperwork. You do not coordinate the inspector. We do.
What Drives Windows Cost in Annapolis, MD
Two identical-looking Annapolis homes can quote $4,000 apart for legitimate reasons. Here is what actually moves the number.
Window Count and Size
Annapolis ranches average 8 to 12 windows. Split-levels average 10 to 14. Annapolis colonials average 12 to 18. Larger custom Annapolis homes run 18 to 30. Standard openings (3’x5′) price per the table above. Oversize openings, picture windows, and geometric specialty shapes price separately.
Frame Material and Brand
ProVia ecoLite is the value tier — energy-rated vinyl with proper foam insulation and lifetime warranty. ProVia ENDURE is the premium tier — foam-filled frame, triple-pane glass option, and the highest impact and acoustic ratings available in vinyl. Wood-clad and fiberglass options run 40 to 80 percent above ENDURE pricing and are quoted on request for historic Annapolis homes.
Install Method
Retrofit install (also called insert install) keeps the existing frame and inserts the new window into the opening. It is faster, cheaper, and works in most Annapolis homes where the existing frame is sound. Full-frame install removes the old window down to the rough opening, replaces flashing, and rebuilds trim. It costs 30 to 50 percent more but is required when frames are rotted, the opening is being resized, or premium air sealing is the priority.
Trim Work and Wrap
Most Annapolis window projects include new interior trim, exterior aluminum coil wrap on brickmold, and foam insulation around the new frame. We do not price these as add-ons. Painted hardwood interior trim (common in historic Annapolis neighborhoods) adds $35 to $75 per window. Stained interior trim adds $60 to $120 per window.
Glass Package
Standard glass is Low-E with argon gas fill and meets ENERGY STAR for the MD climate zone. Triple-pane upgrade adds approximately $80 to $140 per window. Tempered glass (required in bathrooms and stair-adjacent openings under MD code) adds $60 to $110 per window. Obscure glass for privacy adds $35 to $75 per window.
Permits and Access
Anne Arundel County permit fees for window replacement run $100 to $280, depending on how many openings are being modified vs. retrofit. Standard retrofit projects on Annapolis homes are straightforward. Structural changes (combining two windows, enlarging an opening) require additional permitting and engineering review.
Windows Cost by Annapolis Neighborhood
Annapolis’s housing stock is not uniform. A 1900 bungalow does not cost the same to re-window as a 1980 brick colonial, even though the curb-appeal numbers look similar. Here is what we actually see on real Annapolis jobs by neighborhood.
Eastport
Eastport’s waterfront proximity drives premium underlayment specs and corrosion-resistant flashing. Many homes have additions with complex tie-ins.
Historic Downtown Annapolis
Historic preservation requirements drive material selection. Slate replacement, copper flashing, and Annapolis Historic Preservation Commission approval are common.
Hillsmere Shores
Hillsmere Shores is a waterfront community. Premium underlayment and ridge ventilation upgrades are the standard spec.
West Annapolis, Wardour
West Annapolis homes are on their third roof now. Many have been expanded with rear additions that bring complex roof tie-ins.
Murray Hill, Admiral Heights
Murray Hill and Admiral Heights mature tree canopy drives shaded slopes and premium underlayment specs.
“Window companies are the worst offenders on inflate-and-discount pricing in the DMV. The whole industry is built on buy-three-get-one-free promotions that have a $400 discount baked into a $1,600 inflated quote. The premium brands fly a salesperson out, run a four-hour presentation, and walk you down from $34,000 to $19,000. That spread is not a deal. It is the inflate-and-discount model. We do not work that way.”
“The two questions to ask every window contractor are: is this a retrofit or a full-frame install, and is the foam insulation around the frame included or excluded. Half of the cheaper quotes in the DMV skip the foam. A window installed without foam insulation around the frame leaks air and condenses moisture into the wall cavity. That is how rot starts behind the trim. The number on the page is the number on the invoice.”
