Window Type
The first thing to consider is the type of windows do you have. The two most common types of windows are wood and vinyl. Depending on your window’s type, the cost of painting them could be quite different.
Window Style
Next, what style windows are you painting? Windows can range from Small to Large, from Simple to Complex. Luckily we have put together a comprehensive Window Painting Cost Guide that shows you the cost of painting the most common window styles.

Painting Vinyl Windows
Though window manufacturers often advise against painting vinyl windows, many homeowners are opting to painting as a cheaper way of to modernizing the look of their windows.
The problem with painting vinyl is in the paint’s ability to “grab” the material. Where as wood is porous with high adherence, vinyl doesn’t have this quality. Because of this it is important to use Extreme Bond Primer by Sherwin-Williams (or something similar) when painting vinyl windows.
Cost of Painting Vinyl Windows
The cost of painting vinyl windows is a bit more expensive than painting wood windows that have been previously painted. This is because of the extra step of priming the window before painting. See the cost of painting vinyl windows in the below tables.
