Window Replacement Contractor Software in Virginia

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.

Virginia 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.

Most of Virginia sits in the ENERGY STAR North-Central climate zone, with the southeast corner in the South-Central zone, and both numbers on the label matter. The U-factor sells in January, when Northern Virginia sits in the twenties for a week and the wind comes down the Shenandoah. The solar heat gain coefficient sells in July, when the humidity in Richmond and Hampton Roads holds the heat overnight. A window that only solves one of those is half a window in this state.

Storms sell windows too. Isabel came through on September 18 and 19, 2003 and damaged or destroyed more than 10,400 homes and businesses. The derecho of June 29, 2012 put 70 mile an hour gusts across Northern Virginia at night. Hail breaks glass on the windward side of a house in Richmond 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. The roofing law that takes effect on January 1, 2027 is written for roofers, so a window job on a claim runs on the general rules. The one that always applies is the three business days the homeowner has to cancel any sale made in the home.

Virginia licenses windows at $1,000. Any contract over that takes a license from the Board for Contractors with a home improvement specialty on it. A house full of windows in Ashburn or Midlothian can push a company from Class C, which stops at $30,000 a contract, into Class B. That class takes three years of experience, an exam, and a financial statement or a bond.

The housing stock splits by age. Ashburn, Gainesville, Stafford, Midlothian, Glen Allen, and Chesapeake are 1990s and 2000s houses with builder-grade vinyl windows that are fogging and sticking. That replacement wave is well under way. The older neighborhoods in Richmond, Norfolk, Alexandria, and Roanoke have original wood windows and openings that need a careful measure. Installs run all year in Virginia, 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 install date on the contract has to allow for it.

Every trade, one price

Roofing, siding, windows, and gutters are all included at one price per location — so a crew that adds a second trade doesn't change what they pay.
