You should be getting several bids, 3 at a minimum. Wood, fiberglass, vinyl, foam filled fiber glass all cost different. Exactly which brand and style window did the contractor bid?

I agree with Bob, get at lest 3 bids.

If u are getting a quote on totally new windows, there is a lot of work involved.

Patching the siding on outside, redoing trim on inside and whatever painting to give u a finished product.

Have u looked into replacement windows. Doing this they leave the window frames and replace the sashes with a unit that is made to fit. The siding and inside trim are not effected.
