Window Replacement Contractor Software in Alabama
A window job is never one window. It's eighteen openings, four sizes, two grid patterns, a bay that needs a site measure, and a homeowner who keeps asking about U-factor. ExteriorPro lets you build the estimate room by room, lock in the spec sheet the manufacturer needs, track lead times when the product's on backorder, and keep the install crew from showing up with the wrong brickmould. Everything tied to the project so the sales rep and the install lead aren't on different pages.
Alabama window shops run tight margins and long lead times. ExteriorPro keeps the opening list tied to the order tied to the install date, so nothing shows up wrong on install day.
From $199/month per location. No credit card required to start.

Alabama splits between two ENERGY STAR climate zones. The north sits in the South-Central zone and the coast sits in the Southern zone, and in both the solar heat gain coefficient does the work. The sun on a west wall in Madison or Fairhope in August is the bill the homeowner is trying to cut, and the humidity keeps the air conditioner running from April to October. The U-factor still matters on the cold weeks in January up in Huntsville, but a window that only solves winter is half a window here.
Storms sell windows too. Sally came ashore at Gulf Shores on September 16, 2020 at 105 miles an hour and sat over Baldwin County for a day, and a window company on the coast sells impact-rated glass and shutters as a matter of course. Inland, the tornado outbreak of April 27, 2011 and the hail that comes most springs break glass on the windward side of a house. Alabama's roofing contract law is written for roof repair contracts, so a window job on a claim runs on the general rules, and the one that always applies is the three business days the homeowner has to cancel any sale made in the home.
Licensing is by the dollar. A window job over $10,000 takes a home builder license from the Home Builders Licensure Board, and a contractor with a local business license can hold the limited version without an exam. One or two windows do not clear that line. A house full of them clears it on the first estimate.
The housing stock splits by age. Madison, Athens, Hoover, Trussville, Fairhope, and Daphne are 1990s and 2000s houses with builder-grade vinyl windows that are fogging and sticking, and the Huntsville side of that wave is only getting started. The older neighborhoods in Birmingham, Mobile, and Montgomery have original wood windows and openings that need a careful measure. Installs run all year in Alabama. Custom windows run four to eight weeks from order to delivery, and the install date on the contract has to allow for it.
