Concrete tiles are a viable alternative to clay tiles – classic, contemporary, and even rustic styles are combined with durability and resistance to the elements.
For many homeowners, the bottom line is cost, and while many sources seem to pull their concrete tile pricing numbers right out of thin air, this guide provides real figures based on extensive research.
Cost
You can expect to pay between $9.50 and $23.50 per sq. ft. to install a concrete tile roof on your home, depending on the specific tile profile, overall roof difficulty, accessibility, and complexity, and your home’s location. This gives you an average cost of $16.50 per sq. ft. installed.
Everyone knows windows are expensive, but just how big a bite do they take out of the budget?
Cost
The average cost to replace a typical 36-by-60 double-hung vinyl window can range from $700 to $1,000 per window. This gives you an average cost of about $800 per double-hung, double-pane, Low-E glass vinyl window replaced.
A typical project to replace 10 mid-range double-pane windows with Low-E glass could cost around $8,000-$10,000 when performed by a reputable local installer.
A window’s brand and quality, window features, overall size and difficulty of the job, choice of installer and warranty provided, and the local cost of living/property values will affect the bottom line.
