Wrapping Windows...What To Charge?


I'm putting together my first siding estimate & am not sure what to charge for wrapping the windows.

There are 12 standard size double hung windows with wood frames

Does $50 a window sound about right. This would be labor, materials & profit.


Thanks

Re: Wrapping Windows...What To Charge?


If I am out there doing siding, I charge $65 a window. If I am not I try to figure labor and material. One hour setup, one hour cleanup, one hour per window? Sounds about right. 12 windows? 1 roll of coil and 1 lb of trim nails. 1 case of caulk.

For this job I would be a minimum of $1,000.
