WINDOWS ESTIMATING.

## Window Estimating Built for Virginia Beach Contractors Virginia Beach is not a standard market for window contractors. You are bidding jobs a few blocks from the Atlantic, which means wind-load compliance, salt-air corrosion specs, and homeowners who have already had one contractor come out and lowball them before the first rain. Your estimate has to reflect that reality. Estimate.Pro gives you a field operating system that takes you from job walkthrough to a sendable bid in a median of 8 minutes. No SaaS fluff. No per-bid fees on the Pro tier. Just a priced scope-of-work that holds up on the jobsite. --- ### Why Virginia Beach Window Bids Are Different **Wind load and impact glazing requirements drive your scope.** Virginia Beach falls under Virginia Uniform Statewide Building Code (USBC), 2021 edition, which adopts ASCE 7-22 wind load provisions. Coastal areas in the city carry design wind speeds that push most single-family work into the 130–140 mph exposure category. That means your estimate needs to specify DP (Design Pressure) ratings correctly or you are writing a change order before the permit is issued. Estimate.Pro lets you attach specification notes and DP rating requirements directly to individual line items so nothing falls through. **Salt-air exposure affects material selection and warranty language.** Buxton, Sandbridge, and the oceanfront resort corridor all sit in high-humidity, salt-laden air environments. Frame material upsells — from vinyl to fiberglass or aluminum clad — are a legitimate and frequent conversation in this market. Your estimate should reflect that choice with material-cost line items you control. Estimate.Pro's saved material cost workspace lets you store your preferred product tiers so you are not rebuilding your cost basis on every bid. **HOA review windows (pun aside) are real.** A significant share of Virginia Beach residential work touches HOA-governed neighborhoods — Kempsville, Hilltop, Bay Island, and the resort overlay districts among them. Homeowners need an itemized, professional document to submit for board approval. Estimate.Pro outputs a clean, contractor-branded estimate you can email directly from the field. --- ### How the Walkthrough Works You open the app on your phone or tablet. Walk the job. Use AR measurement on supported devices — ONNX-assisted live measurement that reads rough opening dimensions directly from your camera feed. On older devices or photos, measurements are flagged as estimates so you always know what to verify. Once you have your openings counted and sized, the AI scope-of-work builder drafts line items: removal and disposal of existing units, rough opening prep, flashing, installation, interior and exterior trim, and caulk/seal. You review, adjust quantities, and apply your saved material costs. The estimate is ready to send. Median time from first room to sendable bid: 8 minutes. --- ### Pricing That Fits a Window Crew - **Free tier** — no credit card, no expiration. Good for trying the full workflow. - **Pro — $39/seat/month** — includes saved cost workspaces and the full 8-minute bid workflow. - **Elite — $79/seat/month** — adds Stripe Connect invoicing (0% platform fee), invoice exports, and advanced workflows. - **Crew — $399/month flat** — one price for the whole company, no per-seat math. Free tier invoicing through Stripe Connect carries a 3% platform fee. Pro and Elite carry 0%. --- ### Built for 25 Trades, Sharp on Windows Estimate.Pro supports 25 trades. Windows is a first-class trade in the system — not a generic construction template with the logo swapped. The line-item library reflects how window contractors actually price work: per-unit installation rates, rough opening repair as a separate billable, and trim as its own scope. If you are also doing door replacements, the door trade workflow is one tap away. --- ### Start Your First Bid Today No credit card. No sales call.
