When it comes to replacing windows, doors, or finishing a basement, we know cost is one of the first things on your mind. And you deserve honest, upfront answers.
That’s why we’ve built this page, to help you understand what goes into our pricing, why it’s not one-size-fits-all, and how you can get a real estimate without sales pressure, or even talking to a consultant.
When quotes come in at such different price points, it can be hard to know what you're really getting. Things aren’t included in the price and you won’t know it until after a problem develops.
Companies that have lower prices may use subcontractors who skip key installation steps, use lower-quality materials, or come with little to no warranty.
Higher bids often reflect skilled craftsmanship by employee installers, high-performance products, and long-term support.
That’s why we’re upfront about our pricing and build every proposal around you. No guesswork, flat rates, or one-size-fits-all solutions.
No matter your project, you can always find someone who charges less and someone who charges more. The real question is what are you actually getting for your investment.
Most homeowners don’t take on projects like this very often, so it’s easy to miss the right questions to ask. More often than not, important details are left out of the price and you only discover them when a problem comes up.
By understanding what truly matters in your project, you can make sure you’re getting the value you expect and avoiding costly surprises later.
