Measure windows and define inclusions
Record pane count or area, internal and external sides, frames, tracks, screens, height, soil level, access, parking and site restrictions. Clarify whether the service is residential, commercial, recurring or one-off and list restoration or high-access work separately.
Calculate operating costs
Estimate labour time, travel, products, equipment wear, insurance, administration, payment costs, taxes and unbillable time. Include site assessment where needed and plan for weather, cancellations and safe access. Do not treat employee pay as the full customer price.
Choose and explain a pricing basis
A business may quote per job, time, window, area or recurring schedule, depending on the work. State assumptions, inclusions, exclusions, minimum charges, optional work, validity period and variation process in writing. Any margin should be based on real costs and business advice, not a universal percentage.
Review prices responsibly
Compare your actual service and local operating conditions with public information while avoiding copying competitors or making unsupported price claims. Track job time, material use and scope changes, then update quotes when costs or service requirements change.
