Premium Price Point

Pella windows tend to be more expensive compared to other brands, particularly when it comes to their premium wood and fiberglass models. While the quality and performance justify the price for many customers, budget-conscious buyers may find Pella’s products less affordable than lower-cost alternatives like vinyl-only brands. Despite the higher overall cost, Pella offers several different product lines to meet different budgets:

• 250 Series - $250–$850
• Encompass - $200–$900
• Lifestyle - $300–$1,500
• Impervia - $300–$1,700 
• Defender - $700–$1,500
• Hurricane Shield - $700–$1,500
• Architect - $1,200–$2,700
• Reserve - $1,300–$3,000

Varying Installation Costs

While Pella offers in-house installation services through Certified Pella Contractors, the cost of installation can vary greatly depending on the location, window type, and complexity of the job. Improper installation can affect window performance, so it’s crucial to ensure professional, experienced installers are used, which can add to the overall cost.
