How to use it

Set your bar first: the minimum dollars per hour you will work for ($75 default) and a minimum job ($99 default) so small jobs cannot price themselves under your drive time. Then pick the home preset: Ranch, 2-story, or Big home. Each fills the standard pane count (inside and out), French panes or small lites, cleaning minutes on site, and drive plus setup minutes, all editable. Enter the per-pane price ($4 default) and per French lite price ($1.50 default), and toggle exterior only for out-side glass, which counts as half the panes. The add-ons card is where the classic leaks live: screens cleaned at a price each with a quantity, tracks and sills detailed per window with a quantity, a second-story ladder percentage adder on the pane price, a flat hard-water restoration adder ($75 default), and a construction cleanup percentage adder, every rate editable. Results show a line-item breakdown, a recommended quote of the greater of the subtotal and the minimum price, rounded up to the nearest $25, and your effective rate over real hours (cleaning plus drive plus setup). Verdicts: PRICED RIGHT, CLOSE, BUT LEAKING with the raise to clear your bar, or UNDERPRICED with the exact quote needed.

Worked example

Example only, not typical pricing. 2-story preset: 40 panes at $4 is $160 of pane price, no add-ons. Cleaning 90 minutes plus drive and setup 45 minutes is 2.25 real hours. The recommended quote rounds up to $175, and the effective rate is 175 / 2.25 = $77.78 per hour, which fires PRICED RIGHT against a $75 bar. Check 20 screens at $2 and the subtotal becomes $200, so the quote is $200 and the rate rises to $88.89 per hour. A $160 gut quote pays only $71.11 per hour, under the bar, so it fires LOSING MONEY and leaves $40 on the table. A $5,000 monthly goal needs 29 jobs like this (5,000 / 175 = 28.6, rounded up), at 29 x 2.25 = 65.25, shown as 65, real hours.

FAQs

**Why does a pane price count inside and out?** The tool's pane rate assumes both sides, because most residential jobs are in and out. Use the exterior-only toggle for out-side jobs, which counts half the panes instead of you halving the price by hand.

**Why are screens and tracks their own line items?** Because quoting pane counts while doing screens and tracks for free is the industry's classic leak. They are separate because they cost you real minutes, and the effective rate only stays honest when they are priced.

**When do I use the construction cleanup adder?** New builds and remodels need scraping, silicone removal, and detailing that a standard clean never touches. The 50 percent default exists because post-construction jobs routinely take half again as long.

**What is the minimum job price for?** Drive and setup time. A $99 floor stops a tiny house from pricing at $40 and losing you half a morning after you drive across town.

**Why round up to $25?** Flat numbers read as confident flat rates and make the phone quote easy. The math lines still show every dollar, but the customer hears $175, not $160.00.
