Per-window cost FAQs for Bonita
What is included in a per-window price?
A written per-window quote should include the unit itself, removal and haul-away of the old window, installation labor, flashing and sealant, and basic interior/exterior trim touch-up. Confirm what is and is not included before signing.
Why does one window cost more than another in the same house?
Size is the biggest factor, followed by whether that specific opening needs full-frame work versus a retrofit insert. A bay window or patio door counts as a specialty opening and is priced separately from a standard single or double window.
Do smaller windows cost proportionally less?
Not exactly. There is a labor floor on every window regardless of size, so a small bathroom or hallway window is not proportionally cheaper than a standard bedroom window, even though the material cost is lower.
