Hey Chad, 

Are they also running Electric? or Is the the lights for the closets that are going to be built existing?

Hey @Account Closed stated, $400/window is pretty much industry average for a vinyl, standard size double hung windows.

Standard size is considered anything within 101" (i.e. 21"x80", 40"x61", etc). 

If these are truly "oversized" or special order windows and aluminum frame than it does make sense. I once paid $6,200 for 2 sets on 5 windows that were special order windows. OUCH! However it was a new construction.

1st and 2nd Floor windows

Contractors can in general overbid a lot of things. My guess would be that it depends on the availability of the contractor and there O/P (overhead and profit charge).

I know a few contractors who will never turn down bidding a job. They protect there own interest by bidding high, to make it worth it for them to leave there current job.

However a $27,000 price difference is nuts!
