The opening layer, priced apart
| Frame | Opening line, as published | 2026 band |
|---|---|---|
| Frame B | door, installed | $35-$90 |
| Frame B | window, installed | $5-$10 |
| Frame B | garage door, single, installed | $45-$100 |
| Frame B | garage door, double, installed | $80-$180 |
| Frame B | attic door, installed | $35-$90 |
| Frame B | fireplace, installed | $200-$400 |
| Frame A | professional door project, per door | $132-$437 |
Every figure here is a published line inside its own frame, never averaged into one band. Frame B is the frame that splits by opening; Frame A counts door projects whole. The project whole prices on the weatherstripping hub; the pacing layer on the breakdown guide.
Door and window lines, as reported
| Opening line, as published | Frame | 2026 band |
|---|---|---|
| Door, installed by location | Frame B | $35-$90 |
| Window, installed by location | Frame B | $5-$10 |
| Door project, counted per door whole | Frame A | $132-$437 |
| Door project average, counted per door whole | Frame A | about $284 |
The door and window lanes are the two smallest openings on Frame B's table, and the window lane prints lowest of any lane in either frame. Frame A prints no window lane of its own: its per-door count covers door projects only, and that absence is recorded here rather than filled from Frame B's table.
Garage door lines, as reported
| Opening line, as published | Frame | 2026 band |
|---|---|---|
| Garage door, single, installed | Frame B | $45-$100 |
| Garage door, double, installed | Frame B | $80-$180 |
| Garage door lane, split out on its own | Frame A | no priced line printed |
| Garage door counted inside a per-door project band | Frame A | no priced line printed |
The garage lanes split by door count on Frame B: a single door lane and a double door lane, each with its own installed band, the double lane opening higher and closing higher. Frame B is the only frame here that prices a garage opening; neither garage band is carried against a Frame A reading.
Attic door and fireplace lines, as reported
| Opening line, as published | Frame | 2026 band |
|---|---|---|
| Attic door, installed | Frame B | $35-$90 |
| Fireplace, installed | Frame B | $200-$400 |
| Attic door lane, split out on its own | Frame A | no priced line printed |
| Fireplace lane, split out on its own | Frame A | no priced line printed |
The attic door lane prints beside the door lane on Frame B, at the same $35 to $90 band, while the fireplace lane prints highest of any by-location lane on that frame, at $200 to $400. Both lanes are Frame B readings only; Frame A counts door projects and prints neither lane apart.
Reading an opening quote, by frame
An opening line answers the opening question: one exterior door, one window, one garage door, one attic door, or one fireplace, counted as its own lane. A quote names its opening in its first line and its frame beside it, and its lane reading apart from any per-door project reading on the same opening.
- Opening named beside every band
- Lane readings read apart from per-door project readings
- Each frame's opening reading read on its own frame only
Frequently asked questions
What does door weatherstripping cost by opening, as published?
Frame B prints a door at $35 to $90 installed, by location. Frame A prints no by-location door lane; it counts professional door projects whole at $132 to $437 per door, with an average of about $284. The two door readings sit on separate rows and are never blended.
What does window weatherstripping cost, as published?
Frame B prints a window at $5 to $10 installed, by location -- the lowest lane on its table. Frame A prints no window lane at all, because its count covers professional door projects only. No window band is filled in from the other frame here.
What do garage door lanes cost, as published?
Frame B prints a single garage door at $45 to $100 installed and a double garage door at $80 to $180 installed, each as its own lane. Frame A prints no garage lane; its per-door band of $132 to $437 counts door projects, not garage openings.
What do attic door and fireplace lanes cost, as published?
Frame B prints an attic door at $35 to $90 installed, beside its door lane, and a fireplace at $200 to $400 installed, the highest by-location lane on its table. Frame A prints neither lane apart; both readings are Frame B lines only.
Can opening lanes from one frame be combined with a project band from the other?
No. Frame B counts one opening location at a time and Frame A counts professional door projects whole. The frames and their opening readings are never blended, no lane band is summed into a new total here, and neither reading is converted into the other.
