Ask ten homeowners what they paid for new windows and you will hear ten very different numbers. The phrase “price on double pane windows” hides a maze of variables: frame choice, glass technology, labor rates, and even the season you schedule the work. At CountBricks, we decode that maze in seconds. By capturing a simple voice conversation at the jobsite, our AI pulls live material pricing, local labor averages, and project-specific mark-ups to present an itemized estimate before the dust settles.
• Frame material: vinyl, fiberglass, aluminum-clad, or solid wood each land in different price tiers
• Glass package: Low-E coatings, argon fills, and laminated safety glass add cost but slash energy bills
• Rough opening size: a 2'×3' bathroom window installs faster than an 8' patio slider
• Installation context: new construction installs cost less than replacements that require tear-out and trim work
• Access and elevation: second-story work often needs scaffolding, while basement egress windows demand excavation
CountBricks users across the Southeast have reported the following live pricing snapshots pulled through our platform:
• Budget vinyl insert: $325 – $475 per unit installed
• Mid-range fiberglass full-frame: $550 – $800 per unit installed
• Premium wood-clad architectural: $900 – $1,400 per unit installed
Because CountBricks ties directly into regional supplier feeds, these numbers update daily. Open the CountBricks dashboard tomorrow and you might see a 3 % swing if resin costs shift or a distributor launches a promo.
1. Speak the scope: “Replace eight double-hung vinyl windows, 36 by 60, include white interior trim.”
2. AI takeoff: CountBricks measures the rough openings from your PDF blueprint or mobile photo.
3. Live pricing pull: Our engine queries local supply houses for today’s unit cost, flashing tape, shims, spray foam, and sealant.
4. Labor mapping: We apply regional production rates—minutes per window for tear-out, setting, and interior finish.
5. Margin & taxes: Your saved company mark-up profile and municipal sales tax auto-populate.
6. Instant deliverable: A branded PDF estimate and itemized materials list drop into your client’s inbox while you’re still on site.
• Order standard sizes when possible; custom dimensions can add 25 % or more
• Schedule install during slower months—labor rates often dip in late winter
• Bundle projects: suppliers give better pricing on 10+ units, and crews work more efficiently on bulk installs
• Compare frame upgrades to energy savings; sometimes a Low-E glass package pays for itself within three Memphis summers
• Use CountBricks’ side-by-side estimate feature to show clients good-better-best options without re-entering data
Single pane glass bleeds energy, forces HVAC systems to overwork, and lets exterior noise ride straight into the living room. Double pane technology solved those issues decades ago and continues to improve. The sealed airspace—often filled with inert argon—creates an insulating barrier, and advanced Low-E coatings bounce infrared heat back toward its source.
Builders choose double pane units because they:
• Meet 2025 residential energy codes in all climate zones
• Offer measurable ROI—homeowners can see utility savings in the first billing cycle
• Increase appraisal values and curb appeal
CountBricks partnered with Magnolia Home Restorations on a 1920s Craftsman in Midtown. The client wanted historically correct grills with modern energy performance. During a five-minute on-site voice session, the contractor captured window counts, historic casing details, and paint preferences. CountBricks produced three options:
• Vinyl simulated-divided-lite inserts: $9,280
• Fiberglass SDL full-frame: $12,540
• Wood-clad true-divided-lite with factory stain: $17,960
The homeowners selected the fiberglass package after reviewing the interactive cost-vs-ROI chart embedded in their CountBricks quote. The contractor closed the deal the same day—no back-office number crunching required.
Yes. When you mention “haul away old sashes,” CountBricks recognizes debris removal as a task, references your local dump rate, and folds it into the estimate.
Absolutely. Save your custom production rates inside CountBricks.com/services and the platform will apply them to every project moving forward.
In many jurisdictions a simple window swap is “like for like” and permit-free. If your municipality requires one, speak it into the conversation—CountBricks adds the permit fee line item automatically.

Most contractors budget frames, glass, and hourly wages, yet callbacks reveal overlooked expenses. CountBricks flags these line items automatically so profitability stays intact.
• Interior trim repainting: Even stain-grade casings need touch-ups after install. CountBricks assigns hours and materials once you mention “match existing color.”
• Lead-safe practices: Homes built before 1978 may require EPA-approved containment. Speak the age of the house and our system adds setup, cleanup, and disposal allowances.
• Structural surprises: Rotten sills or out-of-square openings can add 30-45 minutes per unit. Our contingency slider helps you pad time without inflating the quote irrationally.
