The repair readings, priced apart by frame
| Repair reading | Frame A reading | Frame B reading |
|---|---|---|
| Glass and pane | $75-$2,000+ cracked glass | $70-$175 pane / $150-$500 glass |
| Broken seal / foggy | $75-$200 foggy | $75-$210 broken seal |
| Flashing | no separate line printed | $270-$570 |
Each reading is one frame's own counting of one repair case: a sash-repair row counts work on a standing sash, a sash-replacement row counts a replacement sash as its own row, and the two rows are never blended.
The repair rows, priced apart
| Repair row | Frame A reading | Frame B reading |
|---|---|---|
| Glass and pane | $75-$2,000+ | $70-$175 / $150-$500 |
| Broken seal | foggy $75-$200 | $75-$210 |
| Sash and balance | sash repair $50-$200 / replacement $80-$250 | balance $50-$100 / sash or track $200-$500 |
| Frame and rot | rotted $250-$800 / dry rot $150-$800 | frame repair $150-$600 |
| Hardware and latch | $25-$150 | $75-$200 |
| Flashing | no separate line printed | $270-$570 |
Frame A prints its frame table apart -- recaulking at $150 to $200, sill replacement at $150 to $400, and frame replacement at $200 to $1,000 standing as their own rows there, never a repair-line row on this page beyond their printed frame counting.
The foggy row, priced apart by frame
| Foggy row, as published | Frame | 2026 reading |
|---|---|---|
| Foggy, by problem | Frame A | $75-$200 |
| Broken seal, by component | Frame B | $75-$210 |
The foggy row counts differently in each frame and the readings stand apart. The two frames price the same foggy-window job differently -- Frame A reads foggy at $75-$200 as a problem line, while Frame B reads a broken seal at $75-$210 and a sash read at $200-$500. That difference is named as a frame difference on every page here, never averaged.
The totals behind the rows, and the neighbours named apart
Behind the rows stand the headline lines: Frame A glass at $75 to $2,000 or more and rotted frame at $250 to $800, Frame B average repair at $175 to $600 and flashing at $270 to $570. The repair ticket against the replacement ticket prices apart on the repair-vs-replacement guide. Named apart, never a row here: the window-replacement hub's installed replacement window, its own hub's field; full glass-unit replacement as a renovation purchase, its own field; window screen replacement as its own product on its own hub, named apart; and handyman minimum-visit pricing as a standalone product, a service minimum and never a repair-line row.
