Rated 5 out of 5

Carp’s Complete Extetiors did a Fantastic Job on the Siding of my house. As well as great work on the 2 sky lights & bay window. Elijah always contacted me in advance as to what project the crew would be working on daily. He would follow up to make sure that I was pleased with the work.

He also made sure each step of the project met his expectations of the quality of work done. Elijah would stop by on a consistent basis to check on the crew’s work.

I would highly recommend Carp’s Complete Exterior. My neighbors would also comment on how they lived the new appearance of my home.

How Much Does Window Replacement Cost in North Omaha, NE?

Window replacement typically runs about 10% of your home’s value when you’re doing the whole house. That’s the general rule of thumb we use, but individual projects vary pretty widely based on what you’re working with.

For Marvin windows, expect somewhere between $25,000 and $40,000 for a full home replacement. Vinyl windows typically fall in the $15,000 to $25,000 range. These are estimates based on past projects, so your actual cost depends on specifics we’d need to see in person.

What Affects the Price?

Type of Windows: A standard double-hung window costs less than a custom bay window. Marvin windows are premium products with superior durability and energy performance. Vinyl windows offer solid performance at a lower price point. Both work well, just depends on what you're after.
Number of Windows: More windows mean a higher total cost, obviously. Sometimes doing them all at once gives you a better per-window price than breaking the project into phases. We can run those numbers either way for you.
Window Size and Customization: Standard sizes keep costs manageable. Custom sizes, unusual shapes, specialty glass, or unique grid patterns all affect pricing. If your house has odd-sized openings or you want something specific, that changes the math.
Existing Frame Condition: Sometimes we open things up and find solid wood, square frames, and no issues. Other times there's rot, water damage, or structural problems that need addressing. We inspect thoroughly before starting so you know what you're dealing with.
Installation Complexity: First-floor windows on straightforward walls are standard work. Second-story windows requiring scaffolding, or installations that need special flashing because of how your home sits, those take more time and equipment. We price based on what the job actually requires.

Contact us with your project details and we’ll come measure, assess what you’ve got, and give you real numbers. No guessing, no surprises.

Full-Frame Replacement vs Pocket Window Inserts

Most window companies won’t tell you this, but when they say “replacement window,” they usually mean pocket inserts. The industry uses this term loosely, and homeowners end up paying for something that sounds complete but leaves half the problem untouched.

Pocket windows replace your glass and sash while leaving your old, deteriorating frame exactly where it sits. The drafts keep coming through your trim. The cold air still finds its way in. You’ve spent money, but your home feels the same.

Feature	Pocket Window Inserts	Carp’s Complete Exterior Full-Frame Replacement
What Gets Replaced	Just the glass and sash; your old frame stays put.	Everything, down to the rough opening.
Draft Protection	Fails to stop cold air leaking through the interior trim.	Stops all drafts by sealing the home’s “envelope.”
Insulation	No new insulation added to the wall cavity.	Opening is flashed and spray-foamed directly to the framing.
Glass Area	Reduces visible glass area due to frame-in-frame design.	Maintains or increases natural light and visible glass.
Local Performance	Often uses vinyl, which pops seals in Nebraska’s climate.	Utilizes Marvin fiberglass, which stays stable in extreme weather.

We don’t install pocket windows at Carp’s Complete Exteriors. We’ve seen too many people spend good money on a solution that doesn’t actually solve anything.

Budget and Timeline You Can Count On

Twenty years of doing this, and I can tell you the two things people worry about most are cost and schedule. Fair enough. Construction projects have a reputation for running over on both, and some contractors have earned that reputation honestly.

Let’s say you invest $30,000 in new windows that last 25 years. That works out to about $3.30 per day. Less than a coffee. Meanwhile, those windows are cutting your heating and cooling costs every single month, stopping drafts, reducing noise, and preventing water damage. The money you spend upfront comes back to you in lower utility bills and increased home value.

Most window replacement projects take one to three days, depending on how many windows and what we find when we get into it. We give you a realistic schedule from the start, not an optimistic guess just to win the job. We show up when we say we will, work efficiently, and clean up properly when we’re done. Each window is functional and secure before we leave for the day. Sometimes we hit unexpected issues once we open walls, but if that happens, you’ll know immediately, and we’ll adjust the plan together.

Common Questions About Window Replacement in North Omaha

How long does window replacement actually take?

Most jobs run one to three days. If you’re replacing 10 standard windows with good existing frames, we can often finish in a day or two. A whole house with 20-plus windows takes longer. If we find rot or structural issues once we open things up, that adds time. We give you a realistic timeline during the consultation and stick to it. Every window gets finished and secured by the end of each work day, so you’re never left with an open hole overnight.

What makes Marvin windows different from vinyl?

Marvin windows are custom-built, premium products with exceptional durability and energy efficiency. They offer extensive customization, and they look beautiful. They cost more because they’re built better. Vinyl windows perform well at a more accessible price point. They’re low maintenance, energy efficient, and durable. Both are good choices depending on your budget and priorities. Some people want the best and choose Marvin. Others want excellent value and go with vinyl. We install both and we’ll help you figure out which makes sense for your situation.

Will new windows actually lower my energy bills?

Yes. Old windows, especially single-pane or older double-pane models, leak air constantly. You’re heating or cooling your home, and that conditioned air just escapes through the glass and seals. Modern windows with proper installation create an actual thermal barrier. Customers typically see 15 to 25 percent reductions in energy bills after replacement. Nebraska winters and summers are brutal, so your HVAC system works less when your windows actually seal. You’ll feel it too. No more drafts by the windows in winter.

Should I replace all my windows at once or do them in phases?

Doing them all at once usually saves money per window because we’re already on site with our crew and equipment. You also get a consistent appearance and performance throughout your home. But the budget is real, and if you need to phase the work, that’s fine. Start with the windows in the worst shape or the ones causing the biggest problems. That bedroom where you feel the draft, or the living room where you’re worried about water damage from the old seals failing. We’ll help you prioritize based on what makes sense for your home and wallet.
