Window Replacement Cost in New Jersey (2026)
Most New Jersey homeowners spend $650 to $1,250 per window installed for a standard vinyl double-hung, and $7,000 to $18,000 for a 10 to 15 window house (Modernize, August 2026). New Jersey installers publish $450 to $1,400 per window. Nationally, Angi averages $750 per window and $7,348 per project.

These are published market figures, not LA Trusted prices. We found no New Jersey agency price list for windows; the New Jersey figures come from Modernize's state guide and from New Jersey installers' own published price pages (Paragon Exteriors, Havrick's, Ridgeline Remodeling Group, Home Makeover NJ, Window District), named as sources and not as recommendations. Every figure was read on November 3, 2026 and is named to its source in the tables below.

How Much Does Window Replacement Cost per Window in New Jersey?
Modernize's New Jersey guide (updated August 27, 2026) says most New Jersey homeowners spend $650 to $1,250 per window installed for standard vinyl double-hung replacements. It splits that into basic ($650 to $1,100), mid-range ($900 to $1,450) and high-end ($1,400 to $3,000), and says to expect higher prices in Hudson County and Shore towns and lower ones in Camden County and much of Central New Jersey.
New Jersey installers publish their own ranges. Paragon Exteriors in Toms River (April 10, 2026) says most New Jersey homeowners pay $450 to $1,400 per window installed, with glass, labor, disposal and flashing included. Havrick's in Hasbrouck Heights lists $650 to $1,400 as its typical Bergen County price. Ridgeline Remodeling Group lists $500 to $1,200 for a standard double-hung including labor.
The premium end is published too. Window District, an Andersen installer in New Jersey and New York City, prices one installed window at about $2,150 to $2,550 for the 100 Series and about $2,700 to $3,100 for the A-Series, before interior trim (prices as of October 2026). That is the spread a New Jersey quote can sit in: $450 for a vinyl insert, $3,000-plus for a wood-interior Andersen A-Series window.
Why New Jersey quotes run above the national guides
Home Makeover NJ (June 30, 2026) says New Jersey window replacement costs run roughly 15 to 20 percent above the national average, and credits higher labor rates, stricter energy codes and older housing stock. The national guides land lower: Angi's average is $750 per window, This Old House's 2026 survey found $517, and Homewyse's May 2026 estimate is $632 to $967.

Angi, HomeAdvisor, HomeGuide, Homewyse, This Old House and Pella are national guides; none of them publishes a separate New Jersey figure on the pages we read. Modernize is a national lead-matching site with a New Jersey page. The New Jersey installers are named as price sources only; LA Trusted does not recommend them and has no arrangement with them.
Window Replacement Prices by New Jersey Area
Modernize publishes a per-window range for eight New Jersey areas (updated August 27, 2026). Jersey City and Hoboken sit highest at $775 to $1,300; Camden and Cherry Hill lowest at $650 to $1,100. Newark, the closest row to Essex and Union County readers, is $725 to $1,200.
The installer pages add two counties. Havrick's typical Bergen County price is $650 to $1,400 per window installed. Paragon Exteriors, which serves Ocean, Monmouth, Middlesex and Burlington Counties and the Jersey Shore, says most New Jersey homeowners pay $450 to $1,400 per window installed, and that fiberglass frames, large picture or bay units, and full-frame installs on older or coastal homes push the top.
| Area | Per window, installed (Modernize, Aug 27, 2026) |
|---|---|
| Jersey City / Hoboken | $775 – $1,300 |
| Newark | $725 – $1,200 |
| Paterson / Clifton | $700 – $1,175 |
| Edison / New Brunswick | $700 – $1,150 |
| Trenton / Princeton | $725 – $1,200 |
| Camden / Cherry Hill | $650 – $1,100 |
| Atlantic City | $750 – $1,300 |
| Toms River / Brick | $725 – $1,200 |
Modernize does not say how many jobs sit behind each row. Treat the rows as a planning range for the area, not a quote.
Cost to Replace All the Windows in a House
Whole-house pricing is window count times a per-window figure, less whatever the installer takes off for volume. Angi (updated October 15, 2026) says replacing all windows at once often reduces the per-window cost and that a three-bedroom home with 10 to 12 windows typically runs $7,000 to $9,000 with standard double-hung windows. Pella (updated October 6, 2026) prices by project scope: 8 to 10 windows $6,400 to $22,000+, 12 to 15 windows $9,600 to $33,000+, 18 to 25+ windows $14,400 to $55,000+, and says phasing the work can cost more over time through repeated setup fees.
In New Jersey, Modernize and Home Makeover NJ both put a 10 to 15 window home at $7,000 to $18,000. Paragon Exteriors prices a 2-bed ranch or cape (8 to 10 windows) at $5,000 to $10,000, a 3-bed colonial (12 to 16) at $8,000 to $18,000 and a larger or two-story coastal home (18 to 25) at $14,000 to $32,000. Ridgeline puts 12 to 16 windows at $8,000 to $22,000.
| Home or window count | New Jersey figure | National figure |
|---|---|---|
| 8 to 10 windows (ranch or cape) | $5,000 – $10,000 (Paragon, Apr 10, 2026) | $6,400 – $22,000+ for 8 to 10 (Pella, Oct 6, 2026); 8 to 12 $6,000 – $9,000 (Angi and HomeAdvisor) |
| 10 windows | $6,500 – $14,000 (Paragon, Apr 10, 2026) | $4,500 – $15,000 single-hung (HomeGuide, Feb 5, 2026) |
| 10 to 15 windows | $7,000 – $18,000 (Modernize NJ, Aug 27, 2026; Home Makeover NJ, Jun 30, 2026) | $4,500 – $22,500 (HomeGuide); 12 to 15 $9,600 – $33,000+ (Pella) |
| 12 to 16 windows (3-bed colonial) | $8,000 – $18,000 (Paragon); $8,000 – $22,000 (Ridgeline) | $9,000 – $12,000 (Angi and HomeAdvisor) |
| Single-story home, 8 to 15 windows | No separate New Jersey figure in the sources we read | $4,500 – $27,000 (Pella, Oct 6, 2026) |
| Two-story home, 15 to 25+ windows | 18 to 25 windows, larger or coastal: $14,000 – $32,000 (Paragon) | $9,000 – $45,000+ (Pella); 18 to 25+ $14,400 – $55,000+ (Pella) |
| 25 windows | No separate New Jersey figure in the sources we read | $18,000 – $20,000 (Angi and HomeAdvisor); $11,250 – $37,500 single-hung (HomeGuide) |
| Ten Andersen 100 Series double-hung | about $21,900 (Window District, Oct 2026) | Andersen $1,175 per window (HomeAdvisor, Jun 17, 2026) |
Angi's and HomeAdvisor's window-count tables are identical (6 to 8 windows $4,500 – $6,000 up to 25 windows $18,000 – $20,000). HomeGuide's count table is for single-hung windows in basic frames. Pella's rows are for standard windows and carry its own disclaimer that they are not quotes.
Insert vs Full-Frame: What Each Method Costs in New Jersey
An insert (also called a pocket or retrofit replacement) drops the new window into the existing frame. A full-frame replacement strips the opening back to the rough framing and replaces the frame, flashing and trim. Angi puts retrofit at $100 to $300 per window and full-frame at $180 to $1,500, and says retrofit is the faster, more affordable option when the existing frame is structurally sound, while full-frame is the right choice when the frame is damaged, rotted or structurally compromised.
New Jersey installers price the difference. Paragon Exteriors says full-frame adds roughly $150 to $400 per window but is the only real fix when the frame itself has failed, and calls it the honest call when the old frame is rotted, out of square, or there is water intrusion. Havrick's lists a vinyl double-hung insert at $650 to $950 and vinyl full-frame at $900 to $1,400 in Bergen County. Pella says projects in older homes often require full-frame work, which can increase costs by 20% to 30% over a standard insert.
Rot found at the frame is a separate line. Angi says structural repairs discovered during replacement add $100 to $2,000 or more, and HomeGuide puts siding repair around a rotted window at $2 to $14 per square foot. If water has reached the wall, the water damage restoration cost guide covers that part of the bill.
What Moves a Window Replacement Price
Nine things decide where a quote lands inside the ranges above. Each one below is tied to the source that published the figure.
- Insert or full-frame. Paragon Exteriors says full-frame work adds roughly $150 to $400 per window when the existing frame has failed. Pella says a full-frame replacement in an older home can increase costs by 20% to 30% compared to a standard insert.
- Frame material. Home Makeover NJ puts installed vinyl at $400 to $900 and wood at $900 to $2,200 per window in New Jersey. Nationally, HomeGuide puts vinyl at $200 to $1,500 and wood at $800 to $3,800 installed.
- Glass. Modernize's New Jersey guide says triple-pane or laminated and impact-resistant glass adds $150 to $400 per window. HomeAdvisor puts double-pane installation at $450 to $1,000 and triple-pane at $500 to $2,000 per window.
- Style and size. Angi puts double-hung windows at $150 to $650 and bay windows at $900 to $7,100. HomeAdvisor says windows larger than 4 by 6 feet start at $700 and go as high as $3,000 per window.
- Access. Pella says multi-story installations may incur additional labor costs for scaffolding or high-reach ladders. Angi says upper-story access, structural modifications or tight spaces can push labor to $600 or more per window.
- The age of the house. Angi says older or historic homes can add $100 to $500 per window, and structural repairs found during the job (rotted wood, damaged framing, deteriorating masonry) add $100 to $2,000 or more.
- Lead paint. In a home built before 1978, EPA's Renovation, Repair and Painting Rule requires anyone paid to disturb painted surfaces to be lead-safe certified. Window District, a New Jersey installer, lists paint from before 1978 as something that moves its price.
- How many at once. Angi says replacing all windows at once often reduces the per-window cost and suggests asking about bulk pricing. Pella says phased replacement can cost more over time through repeated setup fees and annual material price increases.
- Labor share. HomeGuide says the window unit is 65% to 75% of the cost and labor 25% to 35% ($100 to $500 per window). HomeAdvisor puts labor at $100 to $400 per window, about 15% of the project; Angi at $100 to $300.
Size, in HomeAdvisor's bands
HomeAdvisor (updated June 17, 2026) prices the window itself by size: small windows (2 by 3 feet or smaller) $100 to $400, medium (3 by 4 up to 4 by 6 feet) $200 to $800, and larger than 4 by 6 feet from $700 up to $3,000 per window. Window District prices by United Inches, the width plus the height, and says bigger windows step up in price at set sizes.
Window Replacement Cost by Material and Style in New Jersey
Frame material and window style set the unit price before anything else. Home Makeover NJ publishes New Jersey installed ranges by frame and by style (June 30, 2026); HomeGuide (February 5, 2026) and HomeAdvisor (June 17, 2026) publish the national ones. Where a New Jersey installer prices the same row, it is in the table too.
| Frame material | New Jersey installed figure | National installed figure | Note |
|---|---|---|---|
| Vinyl | $400 – $900 (Home Makeover NJ) | $200 – $1,500 (HomeGuide); $550 average (HomeAdvisor) | Havrick's says vinyl is the value choice and the one it installs most; Modernize calls energy-efficient vinyl the best overall fit for New Jersey's four-season climate |
| Composite | $700 – $1,400 (Home Makeover NJ) | $400 – $2,300 (HomeGuide); $900 average (HomeAdvisor) | Paragon's composite or clad-wood row is $1,000 – $1,800 installed |
| Fiberglass | $600 – $1,500 (Home Makeover NJ) | $400 – $2,000 (HomeGuide); $1,100 average (HomeAdvisor) | Paragon's fiberglass double-hung is $850 – $1,400; Havrick's $1,100 – $1,800 |
| Wood | $900 – $2,200 (Home Makeover NJ) | $800 – $3,800 (HomeGuide); $1,250 average (HomeAdvisor) | Pella says wood may need on-site staining or painting, which adds cost |
| Aluminum | $350 – $800 (Home Makeover NJ) | $175 – $1,000 (HomeGuide); $450 average (HomeAdvisor) | Home Makeover NJ calls it less common in New Jersey's cold climate |
| Window style | New Jersey installed figure | National installed figure |
|---|---|---|
| Double-hung | $450 – $1,250 (Home Makeover NJ); vinyl insert $450 – $850 (Paragon) | $350 – $2,500 (HomeGuide); $400 – $1,000 to replace (HomeAdvisor) |
| Single-hung | $300 – $600 (Home Makeover NJ) | $300 – $2,100 (HomeGuide); $200 – $600 (HomeAdvisor) |
| Casement or awning | $550 – $1,000 vinyl (Paragon); casement $500 – $1,100 (Home Makeover NJ) | Casement $400 – $3,000; awning $400 – $2,000 (HomeGuide) |
| Sliding | $400 – $800 (Home Makeover NJ) | $300 – $2,300 (HomeGuide) |
| Picture (fixed) | $700 – $1,600 (Paragon); $500 – $1,800 (Home Makeover NJ) | $300 – $1,300 (HomeGuide) |
| Bay | $1,500 – $7,000 (Home Makeover NJ); bay or bow $3,500 – $9,000 (Ridgeline) | $2,000 – $6,000 (HomeGuide); $1,800 – $4,000 (HomeAdvisor) |
| Bow | $3,000 – $10,000+ (Home Makeover NJ); bay or bow $4,000 – $9,000 (Havrick's) | $3,000 – $8,000+ (HomeGuide) |
| Basement egress | $2,000 – $5,500 (Ridgeline); $4,000 – $8,000 with well (Havrick's) | $2,000 – $5,000 (Angi); $3,000 – $7,000 (HomeGuide) |
| Basement hopper or slider | $450 – $800 (Havrick's) | Standard basement window $200 – $1,000 (Angi) |
Glass is priced on top of the frame. Modernize's New Jersey guide adds $150 to $400 per window for triple-pane or laminated glass. HomeAdvisor puts double-pane installation at $450 to $1,000 and triple-pane at $500 to $2,000 per window; HomeGuide gives $400 to $2,000 and $450 to $3,000. This Old House's 2026 survey found $400 for single-pane, $529 for double-pane and $609 for triple-pane packages.
Permits and Lead Paint: What New Jersey Requires
A like-for-like window swap needs no permit in New Jersey. The Uniform Construction Code's ordinary maintenance rule (N.J.A.C. 5:23-2.7) says no permit, inspection or notice to the construction office is required for ordinary maintenance, and its building list includes:
- The replacement of any window or door, including garage doors, in the same opening without altering the dimensions or framing of the original opening. This includes storm windows and storm doors.
- The replacement of glass in any window or door, as long as the replacement glass is of a type and quality that complies with the minimum requirements of the code.
- The replacement of means of egress and emergency escape windows and doors in the same opening without altering the dimensions or framing, as long as the required height, width and net clear opening are not reduced. Exception: opening protectives in fire-resistance rated assemblies.
Enlarging an opening, moving a window, cutting a new one, or changing the framing is not on that list. That work needs a construction permit from the local construction office before it starts (N.J.A.C. 5:23-2.14). Nationally, HomeGuide says changing the window size requires a permit that costs $50 to $200 for reframing the opening; Home Makeover NJ says to expect $50 to a few hundred dollars depending on the town. A town can still ask questions, so confirm with your construction office before a bay, egress or enlarged opening.
Lead paint is the other rule that changes the price. EPA's Renovation, Repair and Painting Rule requires that anyone paid to perform work that disturbs painted surfaces in homes built before 1978 be certified, and their employees trained, in lead-safe work practices. EPA says old or worn lead-based paint on surfaces subject to constant friction like doors or window sills can produce chips and dust. Window replacement disturbs exactly those surfaces, which is why Window District lists paint from before 1978 among the things that move its price.
Who does the work matters too. New Jersey home improvement contractors register with the Division of Consumer Affairs, and the registration number belongs on the contract. The steps to look one up are in how to check a contractor in New Jersey.
Sales Tax and the Federal Window Credit
The NJ Division of Taxation's bulletin S&U-2, Sales Tax and Home Improvements (rev. 9/17) defines a capital improvement as an installation of tangible personal property that increases the capital value or useful life of the real property, permanently attached, and says capital improvements are exempt from tax except certain landscaping, carpet and floor coverings, and hard-wired alarm or security systems. Its list of exempt capital improvements includes storm doors and windows, new doors and new siding.
When the job is an exempt capital improvement, you give the contractor a completed Certificate of Exempt Capital Improvement (Form ST-8) and the contractor may not collect sales tax from you on the work. A repair is different: the contractor charges sales tax on the labor portion, and a lump-sum repair bill is taxed on the whole amount. The New Jersey rate is 6.625% (S&U-4). Ask the installer which treatment applies to your job and get the ST-8 signed before the invoice.
The federal credit has a date on it. The IRS page for the Energy Efficient Home Improvement Credit says the credit, 30% of certain qualified expenses with a $600 limit for exterior windows and skylights that meet ENERGY STAR Most Efficient certification requirements, can be claimed for improvements made through December 31, 2025, and is allowed for property placed in service before that date. It names no credit for windows installed in 2026. HomeAdvisor's guide still says you may be able to claim up to $600; the IRS page is the one to read before you count on it.
On the bill, that means
- Exempt capital improvement with a completed Form ST-8: no sales tax on materials or labor.
- Repair (a new pane in the old frame): 6.625% on the labor line only.
- Lump-sum repair bill: 6.625% on the whole bill, so ask for labor and materials on separate lines.
- Federal window credit: the IRS page covers property placed in service through December 31, 2025, and lists nothing for 2026 installs.
How to Check a Window Replacement Quote in New Jersey
Most window quotes that look high are a different job than the one next to them: full-frame against insert, fiberglass against vinyl, triple-pane against double, or one with the trim, disposal and lead-safe work priced in and one without. Line the quotes up on the same scope first, then hold the per-window figure against the New Jersey ranges above.
Already have a quote? Check it against the per-window table, and ask the installer to explain any line that sits well above the New Jersey and national figures.
Eight checks before you sign
- Ask which installation method the quote uses. Paragon Exteriors says proposal comparisons should use the same installation method and written inclusions; an insert quote and a full-frame quote are different jobs.
- Get a per-window price. Home Makeover NJ says a trustworthy New Jersey contractor itemizes the window unit, installation labor, permit fees, trim and capping, disposal and warranty instead of a lump sum.
- Ask what is in the number. Havrick's lists removal and disposal, the units, flashing and insulation, and interior and exterior trim as part of its price; Homewyse's national figure leaves out permits, sales tax and repairs to finishes.
- Hold the per-window figure against the tables above. A standard vinyl double-hung quoted far above the New Jersey ranges should come with a reason, line by line: size, glass, full-frame work, access or rot.
- Ask about the frame before you accept full-frame pricing. Angi says retrofit is the right choice when the existing frame is structurally sound and full-frame when it is damaged, rotted or compromised.
- Check the registration. New Jersey home improvement contractors register with the Division of Consumer Affairs; the contractor-check guide shows how to look one up before anyone measures.
- Ask about lead-safe certification if the house was built before 1978. EPA requires it for paid work that disturbs painted surfaces, and it is part of the price.
- Ask who files the permit, and whether one is needed. A same-size replacement is ordinary maintenance in New Jersey; a changed opening is not. Get the answer in writing with the quote.
How LA Trusted Partners Fits Into a Window Replacement
The request is consent-first
You describe the windows, the problem and the town. Your contact information is shared with a matched independent provider only after you agree to the disclosure.
The installer owns the work
The matched provider is responsible for measurements, product recommendations, scope, lead times, permits where required, and customer terms. LA Trusted's standards ask that a provider's business identity and service area be checkable, and that licensing where applicable, insurance evidence and complaint history be checked before routing.
Request a Window Replacement Match in New Jersey
Tell us who you are and where the property is, then note how many windows are affected and whether the concern is drafts, fogged glass, leaks, frame damage, a window that will not open or lock, or a whole-house estimate. We take it from there and an independent window provider calls you back.
Coverage depends on the town and the job, and a request is not a guarantee that a provider is available. LA Trusted does not do the work itself and does not promise a response time, so the quote and any warranty come from the provider who calls you. Customers should ask whether the estimate covers product, installation, trim, flashing, disposal, warranty, and water-damage repairs.

Window Replacement Cost Questions
How much does window replacement cost in NJ?
Modernize's New Jersey guide (updated August 27, 2026) says most New Jersey homeowners spend $650 to $1,250 per window installed for standard vinyl double-hung replacements, and $7,000 to $18,000 for a 10 to 15 window home. New Jersey installers publish similar ranges: Paragon Exteriors $450 to $1,400 (April 10, 2026), Havrick's $650 to $1,400 in Bergen County, Ridgeline Remodeling Group $500 to $1,200.
How much does window replacement cost per window?
Angi puts the national average at $750 per window (updated October 15, 2026). HomeGuide gives $450 to $1,500 per single-hung window installed (February 5, 2026), Homewyse $632 to $967 (May 2026) and This Old House $517 per installed window from its 2026 survey of 1,000 customers. In New Jersey the published ranges run $450 to $1,400 for standard vinyl.
What is the average cost of replacing 10 windows in a house?
Paragon Exteriors says a typical 10-window New Jersey house lands between $6,500 and $14,000 (April 10, 2026). Nationally, HomeGuide puts 10 single-hung windows at $4,500 to $15,000, and Angi and HomeAdvisor put 8 to 12 windows at $6,000 to $9,000. Angi adds that a three-bedroom home with 10 to 12 windows typically runs $7,000 to $9,000 with standard double-hung windows.
How much are new windows for a 2,000 sq ft house?
The sources price by window count, not square feet. Pella says single-story homes typically have 8 to 15 windows and run $4,500 to $27,000, and two-story homes 15 to 25 or more windows at $9,000 to $45,000+ (October 6, 2026). Count your openings and use the whole-house table on this page; in New Jersey, Ridgeline puts 12 to 16 windows at $8,000 to $22,000.
How much does it cost to replace 25 windows?
Angi and HomeAdvisor both list 25 windows at $18,000 to $20,000 with standard double-hung windows and professional installation. HomeGuide gives $11,250 to $37,500 for 25 single-hung windows. Pella puts an 18 to 25+ window project at $14,400 to $55,000+. In New Jersey, Paragon Exteriors lists 18 to 25 windows on a larger or two-story coastal home at $14,000 to $32,000.
Is it worth replacing 20 year old windows?
The sources do not price by age. HomeAdvisor says window repair is usually cheaper than replacement, and that drafts, leaks or persistent condensation between panes may mean only the frame needs repair; HomeGuide puts a new pane in the existing frame at $300 to $650. For energy savings, Angi cites the U.S. Department of Energy at 7% to 15% a year for ENERGY STAR models, and HomeAdvisor says about 12%. Ask the installer to price repair, insert and full-frame for the same window.
Are window prices going up in 2026?
None of the sources we read publishes a year-over-year price change for New Jersey. Pella's October 2026 guide warns that phasing a project can cost more over time through repeated setup fees and potential annual material price increases, and Home Makeover NJ says New Jersey runs roughly 15 to 20 percent above the national average. The dated figures on this page are the check.
What is the difference between insert and full-frame window replacement?
An insert (also called pocket or retrofit) drops a new window into the existing frame; full-frame strips the opening to the rough framing and replaces the frame too. Angi puts retrofit at $100 to $300 and full-frame at $180 to $1,500 per window (October 15, 2026). Paragon Exteriors says full-frame adds roughly $150 to $400 per window in New Jersey but is the only real fix when the frame itself has failed, and calls it the honest call when the old frame is rotted, out of square, or there is water intrusion.
Do I need a permit to replace windows in NJ?
Not for a like-for-like swap. New Jersey's Uniform Construction Code lists the replacement of any window or door in the same opening, without altering the dimensions or framing of the original opening, as ordinary maintenance that needs no permit, inspection or notice (N.J.A.C. 5:23-2.7). Enlarging or moving an opening is not on that list and needs a construction permit before work starts (N.J.A.C. 5:23-2.14).
Is there sales tax on window replacement in New Jersey?
The NJ Division of Taxation's bulletin S&U-2 defines a capital improvement as an installation of tangible personal property, permanently attached, that increases the capital value or useful life of the real property, and says capital improvements are exempt from sales tax; its examples include storm doors and windows and new doors. When the work is an exempt capital improvement you give the contractor a completed Form ST-8 and pay no sales tax on materials or labor. A repair is taxed on the labor portion at 6.625%.
Is there a tax credit for new windows in 2026?
The IRS page for the Energy Efficient Home Improvement Credit says the credit (30%, up to $600 for exterior windows and skylights that meet ENERGY STAR Most Efficient requirements) can be claimed for improvements made through December 31, 2025, for property placed in service before that date. It names no credit for windows installed in 2026. HomeAdvisor's page still mentions the $600 figure; check the IRS page before you count on it.
Does a pre-1978 house change the window replacement price?
It can. EPA's Renovation, Repair and Painting Rule requires that anyone paid to perform work that disturbs painted surfaces in a home built before 1978 be certified and trained in lead-safe work practices. Window District, a New Jersey installer, lists paint from before 1978 as a price factor, and Paragon Exteriors lists lead paint among the things that affect its price. Ask whether the quote includes lead-safe work.
