Window and door subcontractor jobs near you
Remodelers and builders post window and door packages with the unit count and sizes, often with the order already placed. Your bid covers the install, flashing and trim the way the contractor asks for it.
The window and door work contractors post
- Replacement windows in occupied homes
- New construction window and door installs
- Patio and entry doors
- Egress windows in basements
- Interior doors and hardware on finish packages
Every project is posted by a builder or general contractor we've reviewed, with the town and ZIP code, bid due date and files. You see how far each job is from your shop.
How it works
- Set up your profile. Pick window and door and any other trades you do, your home ZIP code and how far you'll travel.
- Find and watch projects. Open the plans and photos, ask the contractor questions, and watch the ones you're pricing.
- Send your bid. Your price, earliest start date and notes, from your phone or computer. Only that contractor sees it.
No lead fees and no cut of the job. You agree on the contract and payment directly with the contractor.
Pricing window and door work from a listing
What contractors compare, and where window and door bids usually differ.
Check the listing for
- Unit count, sizes and type (insert or full-frame)
- Who supplies the units, and when they arrive
- Interior and exterior trim: what's included and what material
- Number of stories and any oversized or mulled units
- Disposal of old units
How it's usually priced
Usually per opening or per unit, with extras for full-frame tear-out, oversized units, exterior capping and interior trim.
Contractors compare bids side by side, so naming your units and what's included makes yours easy to pick.
Say what's in or out
- Exterior capping or trim
- Interior casing and paint touch-up
- Rotten sills or framing found during tear-out
- Flashing tape and sill pans on new construction
Licenses and insurance for window and door subcontractors
Many states require a home improvement or contractor registration for replacement work. Removing windows in homes built before 1978 is covered by the EPA lead-safe (RRP) rule, so contractors may ask for your firm certification.
On Contracting Bridge you can add your certificate of insurance and license to earn the Insured and Licensed badges, which show on every bid. Some projects require them. You can still see those projects and get your badges in place before you bid.
This is general information, not legal advice. Requirements change by state and city, so check with your state's licensing board and your insurance agent. What insurance subcontractors need
Questions from window and door subcontractors
The windows aren't delivered yet. Should I still bid?
Yes. Bid with your earliest start after delivery and say so in your notes. Contractors often line up the installer before the order arrives.
Do I price trim per window?
Most contractors compare per-opening prices most easily. Break out trim if it isn't always needed, so the contractor can see the difference.
Is it really free?
Yes. Posting, bidding, messaging and reviews are free while we launch, with no limits. General contractors will stay free. When a Pro plan for trades arrives, Founding Members get a lower price, and the free plan stays.
Where does Contracting Bridge work?
Anywhere in the United States. Projects are matched by distance from each trade's home ZIP code, so you'll see more activity as more companies join near you.
Do I pay to bid on an invitation?
No, and you never will. When a contractor invites you to bid, seeing the project and bidding on it is free on every plan.
