Window Replacement Contractor Software in North Carolina
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.
North Carolina 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.

Charlotte and Raleigh both sit in the ENERGY STAR South-Central climate zone now. Wake County moved there from the North-Central zone in October 2023, and the coast sits in the Southern zone, so across most of the state the solar heat gain coefficient does the work. The sun on a west wall in Apex or Huntersville in August is the bill the homeowner is trying to cut. The U-factor still matters in January, and it matters a great deal in the mountains, where Asheville sees real winter and a window that only solves summer is half a window.
Storms sell windows too. Helene came through the mountains on September 27, 2024 with 20 to 30 inches of rain and wind that put trees through houses, Florence soaked the coast in 2018, and hail breaks glass on the windward side of a house in Charlotte most springs. A window company that knows how to document broken seals and cracked panes for an adjuster ends up on a lot of claims. North Carolina's roofing law is written for roof 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.
North Carolina draws its licensing line at $40,000, and a house full of windows can reach it. Above the line the job takes a general contractor license from the state board, with exams and a financial statement behind it. Below it the state asks nothing, and the county issues the permit under the 2018 North Carolina Residential Code.
The housing stock splits by age. Apex, Wake Forest, Huntersville, Mooresville, and Leland are 1990s and 2000s houses with builder-grade vinyl windows that are fogging and sticking, and that replacement wave is well under way. The older neighborhoods in Raleigh, Durham, Charlotte, and Wilmington have original wood windows and openings that need a careful measure. Installs run all year in North Carolina. Custom windows run four to eight weeks from order to delivery, and the install date on the contract has to allow for it.
