Window & Door Estimate Calculator: bid the install by the opening
Bid windows and doors per opening the way they install: replacement and new construction, entry and patio doors, with trim and flashing, then overhead and profit on top.
Windows and doors price by the opening, but the bid that holds up counts the parts a tape measure misses: the flashing and weatherproofing, the trim and casing, the old unit someone has to pull and haul. Anvil HUD builds the bid bottom up. Each opening is a line item at its own rate, from an insert window to a bay, an entry door to a slider, and trim, flashing, and haul-off each get a line. Add a contingency for the rot you find once the old unit is out, then your overhead and profit. Every rate is yours to tune to your market.
How we price window & door install
- Each opening is a line item: a window replacement or new-construction unit, an entry, patio, storm, or interior door, each at its own material and labor rate.
- Add trim and casing and the flashing that keeps the opening dry, plus haul-off of the old unit and an hourly installer line for the odd one out.
- Overhead and profit go on last as a percent of the loaded cost, and every rate is yours to tune.

Questions
How do I price window replacement?▾
Price each window by the opening at its own rate (insert, new construction, bay), add the trim and flashing, and include haul-off of the old unit. Anvil HUD builds it line by line and adds your overhead and profit, with every rate tunable.
Why include flashing and trim as their own lines?▾
Flashing keeps the opening from leaking and trim finishes it, and both take real material and time. Anvil HUD keeps them as separate lines so they are never the part you forgot to charge for, and so the client sees a complete install, not just the unit.
