Estimating Your Total Project Cost

1. Windows and doors (product cost)
The biggest variable. Buying in-stock saves 30–60% vs ordering from a showroom.
2. Installation labor
In South Florida, installation labor typically costs $75–$150 per window opening. A 10-window home runs $750–$1,500 in labor.
3. Permits
Expect $150–$600 depending on county and project size. Included in Vieser Construction quotes.
4. Miscellaneous (stucco repair, trim, disposal)
Budget $500–$1,500 for a typical 10-window project.

What Affects the Price?
Brand: PGT and ESW are premium brands with slight price differences. Mr. Glass offers excellent value.
Size: Larger openings cost more. Non-standard sizes (odd dimensions) cost more than standard.
Glass type: Laminated single-layer is standard. Insulated laminated (impact + energy efficiency) costs 20–40% more.
Frame material: Aluminum is standard. Vinyl costs less but has limitations in South Florida's climate.
County: Miami-Dade requires NOA-certified products, which are slightly more expensive but offer the highest protection.
How to Save 30–60% on Your Project
The single biggest lever is where you buy the windows. Ordering custom from a showroom means waiting 3–6 months and paying full retail. Buying in-stock at Windows Stock Market means same-week availability and prices 30–60% below retail — for the same PGT, ESW, and Mr. Glass products.
