Window Replacement Contractor Software in Connecticut
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.
Connecticut 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.

Connecticut sits in the ENERGY STAR Northern climate zone, where a window has to carry a U-factor of 0.22 or lower, and the U-factor does the work. The winter is the bill the homeowner is trying to cut, from the Litchfield hills to the shoreline, and a window that holds heat in January sells itself. In practice the Northern number means triple-pane glass on most of what gets sold here. The solar heat gain coefficient still matters on a west wall in Stamford in July, but a window that only solves summer is half a window in this state.
The houses are the market. The statewide median build year is 1966, the sixth oldest housing stock in the country, which means original wood windows, rope-and-weight sashes, and openings that need a careful measure in the old neighborhoods of Hartford, New Haven, and Bridgeport, and the first wave of replacement vinyl from the 1990s now fogging and sticking in the suburbs. On the shoreline the salt air eats hardware, and a window company there specifies for it.
Storms sell windows too. Sandy broke glass along the whole shoreline on October 29, 2012, the October 2011 snowstorm put trees through houses with 880,000 customers in the dark, and Irene destroyed coastal homes in August 2011. A window company that knows how to document broken seals and cracked panes for an adjuster ends up on a lot of claims. Connecticut has no deductible statute, so a window job on a claim runs on the general rules.
Connecticut registers every home improvement contractor at $200. A window company carries a registration from the Department of Consumer Protection, $20,000 in liability coverage, and a payment into the Guaranty Fund, and writes every job into the state's form of contract, with the four dates and the three-business-day right to cancel attached in duplicate. Installs run most of the year, with a careful crew swapping an opening in January without letting the room go cold. Custom windows run four to eight weeks from order to delivery, and the completion date the contract has to carry allows for it.
