Replacing or adding windows is one of the highest-impact upgrades you can make to a residence. The challenge is that “price to install windows” ranges widely online, leaving Texas homeowners guessing. CountBricks removes that guesswork with AI-driven voice estimates, live material feeds, and blueprint takeoffs that lock in accuracy before the first nail is pulled.
The total figure is never just the glass. CountBricks estimators consider every variable so your quote matches the final invoice.
• Window type and performance rating (single-hung, double-hung, casement, low-E, impact-rated)
• Frame materials (vinyl, fiberglass, composite, wood clad)
• Rough opening size and structural modifications
• Exterior finish requirements (brick, stucco, siding tie-ins)
• Interior trim and painting scope
• Access and height (ground floor vs. second story or cathedral)
• Local permitting and inspection fees
• Labor availability in the Austin market
CountBricks project data shows most single-family homeowners invest:
• $450–$725 per basic vinyl window installed
• $700–$1,050 per mid-range composite or fiberglass unit
• $1,250–$2,100 per premium wood-clad or custom shape
Historic homes that require masonry cut-outs, lead paint abatement, or custom mouldings can exceed $3,000 per opening. Because we tie estimates to current supplier databases, those numbers update automatically inside CountBricks.com/services.
Generic calculators ignore regional labor surges, fuel surcharges on glass shipments, and sudden code changes. CountBricks’ AI listens to your voice walkthrough, captures square footage, and pulls live SKU pricing from partnered distributors. The result: an itemized PDF that mirrors real-time market conditions instead of last quarter’s blog post.

Traditional estimating stacks multiple safety margins on every line because contractors must guard against price swings. CountBricks eliminates that uncertainty, passing the savings to you.
Our platform syncs nightly with leading glass and frame distributors across Texas. When bulk orders drive costs down, your estimate auto-adjusts. Over a ten-window replacement, homeowners have saved an average of 6% compared to static quotes pulled only a week earlier.
CountBricks analyzes crew calendars and suggests installation windows—no pun intended—when skilled labor is under-booked. Fewer overtime hours translate to leaner invoices without cutting craftsmanship. Contractors list this scheduling tool as a top feature in the CountBricks.com/services suite.
Every blueprint takeoff is run through our variance engine. If field conditions are likely to trigger framing or flashing changes, CountBricks flags them before mobilization. Avoiding even one mid-project change order can keep hundreds of dollars in your pocket and days off your timeline.
• Ask your estimator to model both vinyl and composite frames; payback periods often surprise first-time renovators
