The short answer
The short answer
Window Replacers uses an approved full-frame replacement baseline, then applies an approved location factor when one is available. Full-frame work removes more of the existing assembly and can expose opening, water-management, trim, and repair scope that changes the final measured quote.
Published ranges are national baselines or clearly identified geographic adjustments from the active Window Replacers pricing model.
