WINDOW INSTALLATION & REPLACEMENT

Exact Carpentry – Launceston • West Tamar • Northern Midlands

Windows in Tasmania have a hard life. They deal with cold mornings, hot afternoons, sideways rain, frost, wind that comes straight off the river, and houses that move just enough each season to throw everything slightly out of alignment. A window that worked perfectly ten years ago can suddenly start sticking, fogging, rattling, leaking, or letting in draughts you can feel from across the room.

Replacing a window isn’t just about swapping glass. It’s about understanding what the house has been doing around that opening the swelling, the shrinking, the frame movement, the moisture, the old repairs, the shortcuts taken decades ago, and the way Tasmanian weather slowly works its way into everything.

A good window installation isn’t loud or dramatic. It’s quiet, It’s clean, It’s the kind of job where the window looks like it was always meant to be there straight, sealed, smooth, and behaving properly.

That’s the standard we work to.

What Window Installation Costs

Most window installations fall somewhere between:

• $380 – $1,200 for small windows
• $650 – $2,800 for medium windows
• $1,200 – $4,800+ for large or double‑glazed units

The price depends on:

• The size of the opening
• The type of window
• Whether the frame needs repair
• Whether the sill needs rebuilding
• Whether the house has moved
• The glazing type (single, double, low‑E)
• The material (timber, aluminium, composite)

We don’t guess. We look at the opening, we look at the house, and we tell you exactly what’s involved.
