How Detroit compares
- National median, same category
- $2,800
- Rank, highest median first
- 13 of 13 published metros
- Metro figures available
- 13 of 15
2 of the 15 metros have no published median for this category; ranks exclude those unknown values. Equal medians share a rank. This compares survey results, not the price of identical work.
What this figure includes
Windows and doors share this category; it cannot be divided into a per-window installation price.
The Census category is “Windows/doors” within “Exterior Additions and Replacements.” Different project sizes, specifications and amounts of work contribute to the median. The survey does not hold those features constant.
Use it beside a written scope
Are frame repairs, trim, finishing and disposal included for every opening?
A difference between this figure and your quote does not by itself make the quote high or low. Separate material quantities, removal, preparation, access and excluded work before comparing contractors.
Then use the matching quote worksheet to keep actual prices and unresolved work separate.
