Important: Ranges are typical 2026 US trade quotes plus dated public anecdotes. They are not a national survey, not a bid, and not a Buildtana Smart Offer.

What this is not

Do not compare a financed installed quote to a supply-only SKU.
Florida HVHZ / listed-system jobs, two-week closes, and historic sash sit outside these bands.
Named observations (Renewal by Andersen $52,000 / 15 openings, Pella ~$1,900, Marvin ~$1,650) are public anecdotes from August 2026, not a bid book.
