West Virginia

Window Replacement Contractor Software in West 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.

West 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.

West Virginia sits in the ENERGY STAR North-Central climate zone, and both numbers on the label matter. The U-factor sells in January, when the mountain towns sit in the teens and the wind comes down the hollows, and the solar heat gain coefficient sells in July, when the Ohio Valley humidity holds the heat overnight in Charleston and Huntington. A window that only solves one of those is half a window in this state.

Storms sell windows too. The derecho of June 29, 2012 put trees through houses across the state and left 670,000 customers without power, the floods of June 23, 2016 destroyed more than 1,500 homes and businesses, and hail breaks glass on the windward side of a house 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. West Virginia'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.

West Virginia licenses at $5,000. A house full of windows clears that line on the first estimate and takes a license from the Contractor Licensing Board, with a trade exam and a business and law exam behind it, and the board's field inspectors check for it.

The housing stock splits by age. The Eastern Panhandle subdivisions around Martinsburg, Charles Town, and Inwood are 1990s and 2000s houses with builder-grade vinyl windows that are fogging and sticking, and Berkeley County is the fastest-growing county in the state. Nearly everywhere else the stock is older, with the original wood windows on the company houses and hillside homes of Charleston, Huntington, Wheeling, and Beckley, and openings that need a careful measure. 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 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.
