For new construction?
In my area some Fish owners price low and some price regular. It depends on the owner. So you can not ask this question on this forum and expect an accurate answer. We do not know if the fish franchise in your area is trying to under price themselves out of business. Only you would know for sure. The smart ones charge what the market will bear.

no regular windows much really do not get much more for new either about $375.00
Okay, you need to understand that there is a huge difference between cleaning regular or new windows and cleaning post construction windows, commonly called CCU (construction clean up).
CCU involves removal of debris by sloppy construction workers. i.e. paint, stucco, tape, cement, and any other contaminants that get splattered on the windows during the construction phase. That is why charging 2 or 3 times regular price comes into play.
Inspect and make notes of each window before you bid so no surprises.
Fish is a franchise. The franchise owner buys an area that they have the sole right to sell in. Other Fish owners donât directly compete. They will work together at times to provide pricing for larger areas, but they have pricing autonomy. Each Fish owner prices a little differently. What you might find in your area may be distinctly different than others. Maybe dgalkin can comment here as he is a Fish franchise owner.

I appreciate all the advice maybe a better question is how much would you guys charge on a new construction average size window pane? With it having stickers, glue, paint, doing the frames with some mud etc⌠. I really just need a plumb line to work off of so to speak. So first story no ladder and 2nd story on anew extension?
Correction, on an extension ladder
Garry answered that for youâŚ
Hope that helps!

maybe they knew you were a competitor? IDK
@Jared is correct in his statement.
@badboybabin3 I would suggest if you are asking these questions about CCU that you take your ânormalâ pricing and raise it up by 6-10x. You will need the buffer to cover your learning curve if you donât have experience with CCU. I would also either call the FISH office and find out why they are no longer doing that job, or ask your customer. Perhaps the customer is one that they fired? Most builders, in my area at least, are notoriously cheap and very difficult to work for.

Pretty bold asking for competitors pricing but remarks here about franchises differences in pricing is correct. In ne region we literally have over a dozen of them,some lowball others know what theyâre doing and price correctly. Personally i work with 2 of them,the largest is a cutthroat lowballer who,steals from his fellow franchises and a lot stay small and avoid pcc and hirise.
