Components of a Typical Install

Although installations vary from job to job, the pricing breakdown is generally the same for your typical home installation. The three main pricing components are product, labor, and installation materials.

Product

The first pricing component for a typical install is the product. This will include all of the windows, door, and accessories that you are installing or having installed into your home. Generally speaking, this is in most cases, the most expensive part of the project. A lot of variables can impact the product pricing such as: size, brand, style, accessories and colors.

Labor

Labor is the second most expensive part of your window installation. Labor charges will vary between different contractors, and it is always a good idea to get several quotes before moving forward with your project. It is also important to do your due diligence before beginning a project. Ask for recommendations, read customer reviews, and do your individual research before proceeding. Be cautious of quotes that are super high or very low in comparison to your other quotes. A poor installation can lead to poor product performance or create issues down the line such as excessive drafts, water damage, or crooked installations.

It is also important to ask about how they plan to trim out the windows on the inside and outside as well, so that you can set expectations for how the finished product will look. While a reputable contractor may charge a decent amount on labor, the finished result may justify it, as a poor install can cost more in the long run, through remediation efforts or damages to your home. Accessibility, can also have a big impact on labor pricing. For example, if a window is located on a second story and a lift is needed to install, this can be included in the pricing. Product size and complexity can also impact labor pricing.

Installation Materials

The first pricing component for a typical install is the product. This will include all of the windows, door, and accessories that you are installing or having installed into your home. Generally speaking, this is in most cases, the most expensive part of the project. A lot of variables can impact the product pricing such as: size, brand, style, accessories and colors.

The third pricing component on a typical installation is the installation materials. When you are given a quote, contractors may list materials needed for the installation. This will usually include things such as insulation foam, caulk, flashing tape, and trim. Generally speaking, this is the smallest pricing component of the three. Depending on the size of the project and installation types, this price can fluctuate.

Pricing

There are many factors that contribute to pricing on a window package such as sizing, styles, additional options and finish work. When you meet with a contractor, he will be able to go through the job and gather accurate measurements. You can then discuss styles, options and finishes you would want. The contractor can then bring this information to a distributor for them to create a project quote. The contractor will include the product cost, the cost of labor and the cost of installation materials when presenting pricing to you.

If you would like to get a general idea of where pricing on your project may fall, you can take unit measurements and bring them to your distributor to quote.
