Window Replacement in Maryland is 4% below the national average of $6,493. This is primarily due to higher labor costs and stronger demand in Maryland.
Maryland experiences a humid subtropical climate in the Chesapeake and Coastal Plain, shifting to humid continental in the western Appalachian counties. Construction is effectively year-round in the Baltimore-Washington corridor, while Garrett and Allegany counties see a shorter shoulder season and higher snow loads. Tidal flood-zone requirements are significant along the bay. For window replacement projects specifically, this means timing and material selection are key factors in both cost and quality.
Maryland's costs are close to the national average, reflecting a balanced supply-demand dynamic in the local construction market.
