The short answer
The short answer
Window Replacers uses an approved wood-window baseline, then applies an approved location factor when one is available. Wood and clad-wood proposals can still differ in construction, finish, detail, glass, installation, trim, maintenance scope, and any verified historic review.
Published ranges are national baselines or clearly identified geographic adjustments from the active Window Replacers pricing model.
