Replacement windows quote

How it works

For American companies that sell and install replacement windows and quote after a free in-home measure. One 3D model of the house wall stands beside the steps the whole way and turns to what each step asks about. The homeowner starts with the house: why the windows go, how many stories, the year it was built, the outside wall (the model shows siding, brick, stucco or stone), the HOA, and the frames and panes the windows have now. Then the windows, one kind at a time, the model showing the kind being described: the style on a large picture (double-hung, single-hung, slider, casement, awning, picture, twin double-hung, picture with flankers, bay, bow), a common size of that style, the exact size in inches or measure for me, the quantity, the floor and the room, grids and glass, tempered glass. The room brings the code rules: a bedroom window is checked for egress from its size and the way it opens, glass by a tub or along stairs asks for tempered glass. Frames and colors are chosen once for the house and seen from the yard, the glass package and screens from the room; the glass package starts at the one you recommend for your ENERGY STAR climate zone, and the form says whether the chosen package is certified there. Then insert or full-frame installation: the model shows an insert standing in the old frame, wrapped in aluminum capping in the window color or left in its old paint, and a full-frame window with new trim; with the cutting and patching full-frame means in brick or stucco, haul-away, new interior casing, homes built before 1978 with lead-safe work and the permit on the estimate. The model's buttons open the windows, tilt the sashes in, take the screens out and turn the view round. Every kind of window is priced per opening installed, mulled units from their parts; the estimate runs under the steps as a range, a starting price or one number, the lead lists what to check at the measure, and the PDF carries a picture of the model. One switch hides prices.
