Common questions

How does the window replacement cost calculator work?

The calculator multiplies the window count by material and labor assumptions, then applies a regional multiplier and contingency to produce a planning range.

What should I enter for window count?

Use the best measured window count you have available. If the final scope is uncertain, run one estimate with the current scope and another with a larger allowance.

What does USD per window mean?

USD per window is the assumed material or labor cost for each unit of the project. Update it when a local quote, product grade, or contractor estimate uses a different unit price.
