Window Replacement Services in Boise, Meridian, and Nampa, Idaho

We handle everything from a torn screen to a full-frame replacement. Here’s how each service works and when it makes sense.

Insert vs. Full-Frame Window Replacement — What's the Difference?

An insert (or pocket) replacement fits a new window into your existing frame, leaving the interior trim and exterior siding intact. It’s faster, less invasive, and less expensive. A full-frame replacement removes the entire window, including the frame, down to the rough opening. That’s the right call when the frame is rotted, out of square, or the opening needs resizing. Removing the entire assembly also allows the installer to inspect the surrounding opening before installing the new window.

Glass-Only and Foggy Window Repair

If the frame and sash are sound and only the glass has broken or the seal has failed, the insulated glass unit can be replaced without touching the rest of the window. Homeowners often get the diagnosis wrong, so here’s how to tell:

• Condensation between the panes means the seal has failed, and the glass unit can be repaired or replaced.
• Condensation on the interior surface is a humidity issue, not a window defect.

There is a limit to what repair can do, however. A window that is around 20 years old or older may still be repairable, but age alone does not determine the best option. Widespread seal failure, frame deterioration, poor operation, and the cost of repeated repairs should all factor into the decision between replacement or repair.

Window Frame, Sill, Sash, and Hardware Repair

A window that sticks, will not stay open, has a broken lock, or has localized wood rot may be repairable without replacing the whole window.

Common problems include broken balancers or springs on double-hung windows, worn operators on casement windows, damaged locks and latches, deteriorated sills and stops, and damaged glazing. Water exposure can also weaken the surrounding frame and trim.

Repairing the failed component can restore operation and help extend the service life of an otherwise sound window. However, extensive rot or structural damage may require more substantial work.

Window Screen Repair and Replacement

Torn, sagging, or missing window screens can often be repaired by replacing the mesh in an existing frame. If the frame is bent, brittle, or damaged, replacing the complete screen assembly may be the better option.

We handle re-screening of existing frames, new screen frames, pet-resistant mesh, solar screens for west and south-facing exposures, and spline replacement. We replace and restore window screens and other window components for homes across Boise, Meridian, Nampa, and the surrounding Treasure Valley, so a small repair doesn’t turn into a bigger problem.

How Much Does Window Replacement Cost in Boise, Meridian, and Nampa?

Window work in the Treasure Valley can range from a modest screen or hardware repair to more substantial full-frame replacement. The biggest early question is whether the existing window frame is sound enough to retain.

At Mr. Handyman, our window replacement and repair costs include:

• Our window frame repair service, including balance and spring repair, typically runs $200-$600.
• Sash replacement runs $200-$500, depending on material and window type.
• Re-screening typically costs $200 per screen
• A full new screen and frame can cost $350

These figures may also include different combinations of materials and labor, depending on the source and service. They should not be treated as directly comparable quotes.

Your actual estimate depends on the window’s dimensions and style, frame material, glass specifications, site accessibility, and the amount of finishing work required. Rot, water damage, structural repairs, and work involving siding or interior trim can also affect the total.

The most useful comparison is between solutions that address the same problem. A glass-only replacement is not equivalent to a complete window replacement, and labor-only figures should not be compared directly with installed prices.

Mr. Handyman can assess the work required and provide a free, no-obligation estimate over the phone before beginning. For glass-only projects, the usual sequence is an on-site measurement, ordering the correctly sized glass unit, and a return visit for installation. The timing depends on product availability and scheduling.

Should I Repair or Replace My Window?

Repair usually makes sense when the frame and sash are sound, and the problem is glass, hardware, or a failed seal. Replacement makes sense when the frame is rotted or out of square, the window is single-pane, or the unit is past roughly twenty years and failing in more than one way. Companies that only sell replacement windows won’t give you this answer, but we will.

Our assessment tells us which one you have, including when a repair isn’t worth doing.

Not for most homeowners. There is currently no general window-replacement rebate through Idaho Power’s standard residential efficiency programs or Intermountain Gas’s residential rebate program. The federal Section 25C Energy Efficient Home Improvement Credit applies only to improvements made through December 31, 2025, so windows installed in 2026 do not qualify.

Idaho Power offers income-qualified weatherization assistance up to $6,000 that can include energy improvements such as windows and doors, subject to program eligibility, home heating requirements, available funding, and an assessment of the property.

One of the requirements is that the home must be heated with Idaho Power electricity. Monthly income limits run from $2,660 for one person to $5,500 for a household of four, plus about $947 for each additional person.

The program is delivered through:

• The EL-Ada Community Action Partnership for Ada, Elmore, and Owyhee counties
• Metro Community Services for Canyon, Gem, Payette, Boise, Washington, Valley, and Adams counties

For most homeowners, the return on replacement windows comes from energy savings and comfort rather than a rebate. If you qualify for weatherization, that’s a phone call worth making before you hire anyone.

Why Treasure Valley Homeowners Choose Mr. Handyman

With Mr. Handyman, one local team can look at the whole opening and handle it in a single visit, so you’re not coordinating a window company, a carpenter, and a screen repair shop.
