Lowe's Windows: Brands, Prices and Installation (2026)

Lowe’s sells windows off the shelf, by special order, and installed by independent contractors. It is also Pella’s retail channel: Pella names Lowe’s alongside its own showrooms and lumberyards as a place to buy. The thing to understand before buying is that a Pella window installed by Lowe’s comes with Lowe’s installation coverage, not Pella’s.

What Lowe’s sells

Lowe’s names four window brands on its installation page: Pella, JELD-WEN, RELIABILT and United Window & Door. At Lowe’s you’ll find the Pella 150 and 250 Series in vinyl, Impervia in fiberglass, and the Lifestyle Series in wood. Pella’s own showrooms carry more, including the Reserve wood line and the new Vista aluminum line.

ReliaBilt is Lowe’s own brand, sold in vinyl series such as the 150 and 3201. We could not find who makes it. No source we found places Andersen windows at Lowe’s.

Both Pella vinyl series come in replacement and new-construction versions on lowes.com. Replacement units fit inside your existing frame. New-construction units have a nailing fin that fastens to the wall framing, which means opening up the siding or trim around each window.

What Lowe’s windows cost

Our national model puts a standard 3 x 5 ft double-hung at $700–$1,520 installed in vinyl, $895–$2,205 in fiberglass like Impervia, and $1,120–$3,495+ in clad wood like the Lifestyle Series. Casements cost more than double-hungs because of their crank hardware: $840–$1,825 in vinyl. Ten vinyl windows run $5,950–$27,075. Your city’s page adjusts these to local prices, and the calculator prices your own mix.

Today’s Homeowner wrote in 2025 that Pella windows at Lowe’s can cost as little as 80% of a Pella store’s price. That is the writer’s comparison, not a published price.

Installed prices. We found no installed prices published by Lowe’s, and no Lowe’s-specific third-party estimate we would rely on. The installed quote is the window plus an installation fee that Lowe’s sets after the installer’s site assessment. For a sense of the labor line, Fixr puts installation labor for a standard window at $150 to $300 (January 2026). Removal, disposal, trim and permits can each add to that.

How buying from Lowe’s works

It starts with a free consultation. Lowe’s fine print adds that a non-refundable site assessment fee “may be required,” credited to the project if you buy through Lowe’s. No amount is published for windows.

The installers are independent contractors. How good the work is depends on the contractor in your area, as Top10’s review points out, so ask for the installing company’s name and check its license and insurance yourself.

Lowe’s runs installation promotions, and their fine print tells you how pricing works. One from August 2025 took 15% off installation labor on windows and doors, with these conditions:

• Installation fees are based on the installer’s site assessment.
• Permit fees and work beyond a basic install cost extra.
• “Minimum labor and/or purchase charges may apply.”
• Single-family homes only.

For timing, stock Pella 250 Series units ordered on October 30, 2026 showed store pickup dates of November 23 and 24. Special orders and installation scheduling come on top of that.

Lowe’s warranty

Like any big-box install, a Lowe’s window has two warranties. The maker covers the window. Lowe’s covers the installation labor.

Window	Maker’s product warranty
Pella 250 Series (vinyl)	Frame and parts: lifetime while the original buyer owns and lives in the home, then 10 years from the original sale, transferable. Glass: 20 years, transferable. Labor on warranty repairs: 2 years from the sale
Pella Impervia (fiberglass)	Frame and sash: lifetime for the original owner-occupant, then 10 years transferable. Glass: 20 years
Pella Lifestyle (wood)	Lifetime for the original owner-occupant, glass included, then 10 years transferable. Impact glass: 10 years
JELD-WEN vinyl	Lifetime while the original owner lives in the home; 10 years from manufacture for a later owner; 2 years of labor from manufacture

For the installation, Lowe’s install pages describe a one-year labor warranty, and Today’s Homeowner reports the same for Pella installed by Lowe’s. That is the main gap against a Pella showroom. Pella’s showrooms warrant their own installs for 2 years and follow with an 8-year service agreement at $75 a unit (indexed to inflation), and Pella’s document says that coverage isn’t available through Lowe’s.

If a salesperson offers an extended labor plan, ask what it covers, for which brands, and whether it transfers. Our warranty comparison sets other brands’ terms side by side.

What to check in a Lowe’s quote

1. The brand and series for each opening. Pella 150 and Pella 250 are different windows at different prices. If the quote says ReliaBilt, ask who makes it.
2. The site assessment fee. Get the amount, and confirm in writing that it is credited if you go ahead.
3. The labor warranty. One year is the published term. Any longer plan needs written terms attached to the contract.
4. The extras. Permits, non-basic work and any minimum charge should be priced on the quote, not discovered later.
5. The installer. Get the contracting company’s name. In a house built before 1978, also get its EPA lead-safe firm certification number.
6. The glass numbers. NFRC U-factor and SHGC for each unit, checked against your climate with our U-factor and SHGC guide.

Reputation

Lead-paint penalty. In April 2014, Lowe’s agreed to a $500,000 civil penalty, then the largest under EPA’s lead-safe Renovation, Repair and Painting (RRP) Rule. EPA said Lowe’s couldn’t show that contractors doing renovation work in older homes, window and door installation among it, were certified, trained or using lead-safe practices, and that work areas at three homes weren’t properly contained. The settlement required a compliance program across more than 1,700 stores and suspension of contractors who didn’t comply.

What lead-safe work looks like. In a pre-1978 home, window replacement always falls under the rule, however little paint it disturbs. The installing firm must be EPA- or state-certified, with a certified renovator directing the job, and you should get EPA’s Renovate Right pamphlet before work begins. Then expect warning signs and taped plastic sheeting around the work area. No open-flame paint removal, and no power sanding without a HEPA vacuum attachment. A certified renovator should check the cleanup at the end, wiping sills and floors indoors.

BBB and complaints. The Better Business Bureau rates Lowe’s Home Centers, LLC A+ (accredited since 1977) and shows 1,142 complaints in the past three years, covering 1,229 locations and every product, not just windows (as displayed October 30, 2026). The window-specific themes reviewers report are uneven installer quality by area, and product warranty claims that go to the maker rather than to Lowe’s (Top10).

How Lowe’s compares

Home Depot runs the same model with Andersen and Simonton instead of Pella. Buying Pella from a Pella showroom gets you the full lineup and Pella’s own installation coverage (Pella windows), and Pella vs. Andersen compares the two brands, one sold at each store. JELD-WEN is sold at both stores. Holding a quote already? The quote checker shows where it falls for your city.

Frequently asked questions

›Who installs Lowe's windows?

Independent contractors, not Lowe's employees. Reviewers such as Top10 note that the work varies with the local contractor, so ask for the installing company's name and look up its record before you sign.

›Does Lowe's charge to measure for windows?

The first consultation is free. Lowe's fine print adds that a non-refundable site assessment fee may be required, and that it is credited to the project price if you buy through Lowe's. We found no published dollar amount for windows. The $45 measure fee Lowe's lists is for blinds and shutters, not windows.

›What warranty does Lowe's give on window installation?

Lowe's install pages describe a one-year labor warranty, and Today's Homeowner reports the same for Pella windows installed by Lowe's. The window itself carries its maker's warranty. If you're offered an extended labor plan, get its terms in writing.

›Is a Pella window from Lowe's the same as one from a Pella store?

Pella says the product sold at Lowe's is the same and carries the same product warranty. The difference is installation. Pella's showrooms back their own installs with a 2-year installation warranty and an 8-year service agreement, and Pella's document says that coverage is not available through Lowe's. Some lines, such as Pella Reserve, are sold only through Pella's showrooms.

›Who makes ReliaBilt windows?

ReliaBilt is Lowe's own brand, and we could not find its manufacturer named by Lowe's or by a reliable source. Before buying, ask the salesperson who makes the window and get the warranty document, which should name the company that stands behind it.

›Should I buy windows from Lowe's or Home Depot?

Both stores sell windows off the shelf and install them through local contractors. They carry different brands: Lowe's sells Pella, and Home Depot sells Andersen and Simonton's 6000 collection. Pick on the series you want, then compare the written labor warranty each store offers.
