Great news! At Coastal Windows & Exteriors, black window frames are priced the same as standard-colored frames.

Black window frames are one of the fastest-growing design trends in home exteriors — and at Coastal, the color doesn’t change the cost. 52% of design experts say dark frames are among the most popular choices homeowners are making today. With an 76% ROI on window replacement and financing up to 20 years, there’s never been a better time to make the upgrade.

What Homeowners Need to Know About Black Window Frames:

  • Same price: Black window frames are the same price as standard colors at Coastal Windows & Exteriors. You get the design upgrade without paying a premium for the color.
  • Design trend: 52% of design experts say dark frame windows are one of today’s most popular exterior trends. Dark frames against light siding create strong contrast — a look that reads as intentional and modern.
  • Homeowner priorities: Aesthetics and durability are both rated “very important” by 68% of homeowners when choosing windows. Black frames deliver on both bold curb appeal and durable construction.
  • Color protection: Look for windows with UV-resistant coatings specifically warranted against fading. That protection matters more with darker frames, where color loss would be more visible over time.
  • Strong investment: Full window replacement averages about $21,922 New England and returns 76% of its cost at resale. Choosing a trending, high-impact color like black adds curb appeal that supports that return.
  • Financing available: New windows — in any color — don’t have to mean a large upfront payment. Coastal offers financing up to 20 years, based on credit approval.
