The elements that influence the price of carpentry work

The cost of carpentry work in a home in Belgium can fluctuate significantly depending on several essential parameters, including:

  • the specifics of the carpentry to be replaced or restored,
  • the nature and complexity of the interventions to be carried out,
  • the choice of materials and their quality of finish,
  • the fees of the craftsman or company in charge of the project.

Each type of carpentry has its own specifics: doors, windows, sliding doors, shutters, gates, or even pergolas. The dimensions, type of opening, and condition of the existing elements play a major role in determining the price.

The complete replacement of an old window in poor condition will logically cost more than a simple partial renovation. Similarly, installing multiple carpentry elements on a large building will require more materials, labor, and therefore a larger budget.

Not all carpentry work requires the same level of technical skill. Some projects, such as the installation of insulating double glazing, require more expertise and time than others, such as installing a dressing room or an interior door.

In Belgium, the average price also varies depending on whether the work is carried out as a light renovation (maintaining the existing frame) or as a total removal, a more complex operation but offering better insulation.

The material of the carpentry directly influences the project's price. PVC remains the most economical option, with a good price-quality ratio and low maintenance. Aluminum, on the other hand, is valued for its durability, modern design, and weather resistance, but its cost is higher.

Wooden carpentry is appealing for its natural charm and excellent insulation but requires regular maintenance. Its price also depends on the chosen species (oak, beech, spruce, exotic…). Finally, wood-aluminum mixed solutions are the most high-end, combining strength and aesthetics, but at a higher cost.

The labor constitutes a significant part of the budget. In Belgium, the hourly rate of a carpenter varies between €45 and €70 per hour, depending on the complexity of the project, the geographical location, and the required skills.

At Avenir Rénovations Belgium, we guarantee services with the best value for money, provided by experienced and certified craftsmen.

FAQ – Prices and Installation of Exterior Joinery in Belgium

What is the average cost to replace all the exterior joinery of a home?

In Belgium, the price to replace all the exterior joinery of a standard house generally ranges between €9,000 and €22,000, depending on the total area, the number of openings, and the desired performance level. The chosen material (PVC, aluminum, or wood) significantly influences the final budget, as does the quality of the glazing and the type of installation (renovation or complete removal). To obtain an exact amount, it is essential to request a personalized quote from a qualified professional.

Which material should be preferred for durable exterior joinery?

The most commonly used materials in Belgium are:

  • PVC, for its excellent value for money, durability, and low maintenance.
  • Aluminum, ideal for large windows and modern architecture due to its strength and longevity.
  • Wood, valued for its natural charm and effective insulation, although it requires regular maintenance.

The choice will depend on your aesthetic priorities, budget, and energy goals.

Are there financial aids for the installation of exterior joinery in Belgium?

Yes. In Belgium, several regional aids can help reduce the cost of your joinery work:

  • Energy and Renovation grants (Wallonia, Brussels, Flanders) for the replacement of high-performance windows.
  • Reduced VAT rate of 6%, applicable to homes over 10 years old.
  • Municipal incentives, varying according to your locality and the nature of the project.

Our experts assist you in checking your eligibility and preparing your administrative file to optimize your savings.

How long does it take to install exterior joinery?

The installation time depends on the size of the opening and the type of installation. On average, between 2 and 5 hours are needed to install a window or door, excluding any additional work.
Factors such as site accessibility, the number of openings to be addressed, or masonry adjustments can extend the total duration of the project.

What is the difference between renovation installation and total removal installation?

  • Renovation installation: the existing frame (reveal) is retained, which reduces intervention time and limits work. However, the glazing area may be slightly reduced.
  • Total removal: the old joinery is completely removed to install a new structure, thus providing better insulation, more light, and optimal finishes.

Our Avenir Rénovations Belgium technicians guide you towards the solution best suited to your home based on its condition, current insulation, and your budget.
