Window Installation & Replacement in Southeast Michigan
Replacement windows for houses, rentals, and manufactured homes across Macomb, St. Clair, Oakland, and Wayne counties — insert, full-frame, and glass-only repairs.
Window installation replaces a failed, drafty, or fogged window with a new sealed unit. Most Southeast Michigan homes take an insert (pocket) replacement at $450–$900 per window; rotted or out-of-square openings need a full-frame install at $700–$1,400. R & D Property Works LLC installs both, plus manufactured-home-sized windows, across Metro Detroit.

Insert vs full-frame — which one your house actually needs
If the existing frame is square, dry, and solid, an insert replacement drops a new window into it: faster, cheaper, and no exterior siding work. If the sill is soft, the opening has racked, or water has been getting behind the trim, an insert just hides the problem. Full-frame strips everything back to the rough opening so the rot gets cut out, the opening is re-flashed, and the new window sits on sound wood. We tell you which one you need from photos and a probe of the sill — not from whichever one prices better.
Fogged glass doesn't always mean a new window
Condensation between the panes means the insulated glass unit's seal failed — the frame and sash are usually fine. On most vinyl and aluminum-clad windows we can replace the glass unit alone for $180–$450 instead of $450–$900 for a whole window. On older manufactured-home windows where glass units are no longer made, replacement is the only route.
Rentals, turnovers, and whole-house orders
Landlords and community managers order windows by the batch between residents. We measure every opening, order together to hold one price, and install in one or two visits so the unit isn't sitting empty. Broken or boarded windows on a turn list get priority because they're a habitability item.

Window Installation & Replacement FAQ
How much does window installation cost in Michigan?
Most insert replacements run $450–$900 per window installed. Full-frame replacements run $700–$1,400 because the opening is stripped, repaired, and re-flashed. Manufactured-home windows run $350–$750.
Can you just replace the glass instead of the whole window?
Usually yes if the frame is sound and only the seal failed. A replacement insulated glass unit runs $180–$450 versus $450–$900 for the full window.
Do you install windows in mobile and manufactured homes?
Yes. Manufactured homes use different sizes and a flange-mount detail. We stock that detail and flash it so water sheds over the siding, not behind it.
How long does a window take to install?
An insert replacement takes about 45–90 minutes per window. Full-frame with rot repair runs half a day per opening. Most whole-house jobs finish in one to two days.
Do you work on rentals and turnovers?
Yes — batch window orders for rental portfolios and manufactured home communities are a regular part of our work, priced per unit with one mobilization.
Are you licensed and insured?
Yes. R & D Property Works LLC is licensed and insured in Michigan, based in Ira, MI. Certificates of insurance available on request.
