Window replacement quote comparison

Compare each opening, frame scope, finish repair and disposal item in written window quotes.

Start with the questions below. Written quotes are required to compare totals; this page does not estimate a market price.

Check what each quote includes

Leave anything unclear as “Ask.” Choose “Extra” to add a separately priced item to that quote’s budget. Do not also put it in the general left-out costs below.

Opening schedule and products

Match every opening to the proposed window type, dimensions, glazing/performance specification and hardware.

Insert or full-frame scope

State what is retained and what is removed. Keep frame damage and unexpected repairs as named allowances.

Weather and finish details

Identify flashing, sealing, interior trim, exterior trim, paint and affected wall finishes.

Access, protection and disposal

Include upper-floor access, occupied-room protection, removal and hauling.

Permits and requirements

Ask the installer to identify the local approval and performance requirements that apply to each opening.

Warranty and handover

Keep product and workmanship coverage, operation checks, documentation and exclusions with the quote.

Put your quotes side by side

Add only costs left out of each written quote.

Quote A
Costs outside the quote & your reserve

This is money you set aside. It is not a contractor charge or a recommended percentage.

Quote B
Costs outside the quote & your reserve

This is money you set aside. It is not a contractor charge or a recommended percentage.

Enter a quoted price

A price difference helps only after the work matches.

Nothing is sent to a contractor. Saving keeps these entries in this browser; downloading makes a text file.

Before asking for a price

Make an opening-by-opening schedule with location, count, type, measured dimensions and insert or full-frame scope. Bedroom count is not a window count.

What the total can tell you

The AHS category combines windows and doors. It does not establish a price per window or for a house with a given bedroom count.

The budget adds the quoted price, separately priced Extra items, other costs left out and any tax not already included. Your chosen reserve is added to that subtotal. Treat every “Ask” row as work that is not yet confirmed as included. Get the answer in writing before comparing totals.
