Q: Are windows with muntins more expensive?

• <div><p>Windows with muntins are slightly more expensive because you&rsquo;re paying for more material, but the cost shouldn't be that much higher since most muntins are fake on modern windows. You&rsquo;re looking at a <b>cost between $25 and $100</b> more per window for muntins, depending on the type. The only exception is if you want custom muntins to match your home style or meet your personal preference. Most manufacturers will charge more for these as they can&rsquo;t mass-produce them.

Q: Can I replace my own window?

• <div><p>In some cases, you might need a permit for a window replacement, which is hard to get if you&rsquo;re not a professional contractor. You should probably just hire a window replacement company in the first place because the job is complicated and can be dangerous for the average DIYer. You may not even save any money doing it yourself because contractors purchase materials wholesale.</p></div>

Q: What is the rough opening of a standard window?
