Re: I Need Help. . . How Much Do I Charge To Install Windows
Well I am getting $3000 a window here.
Seriously, no one will be able to give you a price. Its a simple as this: How much do you want to make an hour? How many windows can you set in an hour? How many windows are you installing? How much are the materials/windows? What is your overhead? BTW- There is no such thing as a going rate!

Re: I Need Help. . . How Much Do I Charge To Install Windows
We were up to about 1.9 M$ per...but since my ex partner is doin' it cheaper we're down to about a pig's foot per. Your price may vary.
And yes, we're all very sarcastic pre-pig feet. J |

Re: I Need Help. . . How Much Do I Charge To Install Windows
I have taken over an existing project and am also new to the game. I have to install around 30 casement windows ranging from 2'6"x4' to 4'x4-6'. Also i have 4 bay windows that are 5'x6'. Last but not least i have 3 10' combos to install. The materials have already been purchased by the homeowner and he is wanting an estimate on what it would take for me to install these. I thought that a lump sum per window installed would be the best way to go, but if anyone has some suggestions for me feel free to let me know here or email me at ibuilddreamhomes@yahoo.com Thanks!

Re: I Need Help. . . How Much Do I Charge To Install Windows
The last window I installed ran about $21k.
It was attached to a bathroom though.

Re: I Need Help. . . How Much Do I Charge To Install WindowsQuote:
 Seriously, how many different window styles are there? How many different sizes of windows in the styles? Where is you location of that size and style of that window? Is it in that foyer where it's 24 feet up? To many variables my man? Better question. How are you building homes and not come across the cost of windows, unless of course, your building incarceration systems.. Quote:

Re: I Need Help. . . How Much Do I Charge To Install Windows
As far as the smartassss coments go. . . i can take em as well as i dish em out. Basically what ya'll are saying is that you suggest manafactures cost +15-25% for every window installed with adjustments made to accebility an so on. What I wanna know is if this pricing is basically the industry standard?
