One of the builders we did work for ask me to install 6 vinyl windows and 2 exterior doors. The back door is a double and the front window is a double.It is new construction,he does not like his framers to install these because we all ways had to fix them,they never leveled or shimmed and the company I subbed for would charge extra for this. I do not know what the framers get to install the windows,What is the labor charge for a single pane window install in new construction? This means nailing off,putting the black tape around the out side to seal and level and shimming of course  can anyone help me out on this? I have all ready installed the windows,I just have not give him a bill yet. I do not want to be taken advantage of or charge to much.Any advice would be greatly appreciated.Thanks!

It has to be based on your time and
what you need to make.
Answers here can be very misleading.
The guy who gives you a price may not
really be as helpful to you as one who
just gives you information.
What a guy charges in New York City
probably won't fly if you're in rural
Arkansas. Conversely the guy in
Chicago would starve charging what
someone would be happy with in northern
Alabama.
Use the search feature, there are tons
of great threads on how to price
your work.
