Quick Answer
What Does Door, Window and Millwork Estimating Include?
This estimate covers a building’s openings and finish carpentry. That includes exterior windows, sliding and entry doors, storefronts and curtain wall; interior doors, frames and hardware sets; and trim, casework, cabinets and custom millwork. The estimator counts each opening from the door and window schedules, prices it by size, type and rating, and adds installation, anchoring, sealing and hardware.
In Florida wind-borne debris regions, exterior openings must be impact-rated or protected. That makes them one of the largest envelope costs in a building.

Every Opening Priced to Its Size, Type and Rating
Impact windows and doors are expensive, and prices vary widely by size, design pressure, glass type, frame material and approval. Our estimators work opening by opening from the window and door schedules and elevations. We record size, type, operation, design pressure and rating, and apply the appropriate installation and anchoring method for CMU or wood-frame walls.
For commercial projects we measure storefront and curtain wall by linear foot of framing and square foot of glass, with entrances, hardware and sealants. Interior doors are priced with frames and hardware sets from the hardware schedule.
Finish carpentry and millwork, including base, casing, crown, shelving, cabinetry, countertops and custom architectural woodwork, are measured by linear foot and by piece from the interior elevations and details.
For storm-damaged openings, we estimate replacements in Xactimate. For developers weighing impact glass against shutters, we price both through value engineering.

Florida Expertise
Florida Factors That Change Doors, windows & millwork estimating Costs
Florida’s codes, climate and market conditions add costs that generic national estimating data routinely misses.
Product Approval & NOA
Every exterior product must carry Florida Product Approval, and HVHZ projects need Miami-Dade NOAs. Pricing follows the approved product.
Design Pressures
Required design pressures vary by building height, location and exposure, and they change unit pricing.
Shutters vs. Impact Glass
Some projects may use approved shutters instead of impact glass. We price both options when asked.
