Replacement Window Styles for Richmond Homes

Thompson Creek manufactures a full range of replacement window styles to match Richmond’s architectural diversity — from Craftsman bungalows in Northside to mid-century ranchers in Henrico County.

Double Hung Replacement Windows

The most popular style for Richmond homes. Both sashes tilt in for easy interior cleaning — essential for second-story windows. Available in a wide range of grid patterns to match historic or traditional home styles.

Casement Replacement Windows

Hinged on the side and operated by a crank, casement windows deliver maximum ventilation and a clean sight line. Ideal for kitchens, living rooms, and anywhere you want unobstructed views.

Sliding Replacement Windows

Horizontal sliders are a practical, low-profile choice for ranch-style homes and rooms where vertical clearance is limited. Smooth operation, easy cleaning, and excellent durability in Richmond’s climate.

Bay & Bow Replacement Windows

Project outward from the wall plane to create additional interior space and panoramic views. Popular in dining rooms and master bedrooms in Richmond’s larger single-family homes.

Picture & Fixed Windows

Non-operable windows designed for maximum light and views. Frequently paired with operating windows in combination configurations.

Specialty & Geometric Windows

Custom shapes including arched, circular, and geometric windows for architectural feature walls, stairwells, and dormers — common in Richmond’s older stock housing.

Replacement Windows for Richmond’s Historic Neighborhoods

Richmond has some of the Mid-Atlantic’s most architecturally significant residential neighborhoods. Window replacement in these areas requires more than just product quality — it requires understanding local review requirements.

The Fan District & Museum District

Victorian-era rowhouses and single-family homes with wood sash windows. CAR review may apply to visible street-facing elevations. Thompson Creek offers grid patterns, simulated divided lites (SDL), and exterior color profiles that meet review board expectations while delivering modern thermal performance.

Church Hill & Chimborazo

Richmond’s oldest residential neighborhood features Federal and Greek Revival architecture with characteristic 6-over-6 and 9-over-9 window configurations. We replicate historic proportions and grid layouts in our custom-manufactured windows.

Jackson Ward & Carver

Historic district with a mix of late-19th and early-20th century architecture. Window replacement projects may require documentation and review depending on the property’s contributing/non-contributing status.

Oregon Hill & Byrd Park

Eclectic mix of worker cottages and bungalows. Window replacement here typically focuses on energy efficiency and maintenance reduction — transitioning from wood or aluminum frames to low-maintenance vinyl or composite.

Replacement Window Costs in Richmond, VA

Replacement window costs in Richmond vary based on window count, style, size, glass package, and installation complexity. Thompson Creek provides free, no-obligation in-home estimates with transparent, itemized pricing — no pressure, no bait-and-switch.

Factors that affect Richmond replacement window costs:

• Number of windows — larger projects cost less per unit
• Window style — casements and bay windows are priced higher than double hungs
• Glass package — standard Low-E vs. premium triple-pane upgrades
• Frame material — vinyl, wood-clad, or fiberglass composite options
• Installation complexity — older Richmond homes may have non-standard rough openings or rotted frames requiring additional prep work
• Historic district requirements — specialty SDL grids or custom exterior colors for CAR-compliant installations

Most Richmond homeowners replacing multiple windows see total project costs in the range of $400–$900 per window installed, depending on the above variables. The best way to get an accurate number is a free in-home measurement from our Richmond-area estimators.
