What Changes Your Estimate
Six factors that can move your project price.
Impact products are not priced by square footage alone.
The number, size, construction and performance requirements of
each opening all affect the final scope.
01
Opening size and quantity
Larger openings require more glass, stronger frames, heavier
anchoring and more installation labor.
02
Window and door type
A fixed window, casement window, entry door and multi-panel sliding
door have very different product and labor requirements.
03
Glass package
Low-E coatings, insulated glass, tinting and upgraded laminated glass
can improve comfort and performance while increasing material cost.
04
HVHZ and design pressure
Miami-Dade and Broward projects may require specific NOA-approved
products and higher design-pressure ratings.
05
Structural modifications
Enlarging, closing or creating openings may require headers,
reinforcement, engineering and additional inspections.
06
Access and finishing
Multi-story access, stucco, drywall, trim, paint and restoration
affect the amount of labor required to complete the project.
