What moves the number
Opening count, size, frame material, and install type set the price. South- and west-facing glass benefits most from low-E — a full-house spec doesn't need premium glass on shaded north windows. Historic districts (Monte Vista, King William, Olmos Park) restrict materials and may require wood or clad — plan on the high range.
How to get an honest quote
Quote both retrofit and full-frame — retrofit preserves stucco/brick and interior trim, full-frame fixes rotten sills and lets you insulate the rough opening. The honest alternative for SA: solar screens + attic radiant barrier often beat windows dollar-for-dollar on cooling bills — a good estimator will say so. CPS occasionally runs efficiency rebates; check before signing.
