bid these???
$6 for each unit.
i was gonna say 5.00 bucks a unit.
I went $6 because of the extra detailing.
I don’t have many of those around here, but a few.
I do my bids on a pane count, so with those I bid each piece of glass as a pane. The people usually tell me its not worth the cost and to skip those units, and just do the rest, which is my goal anyway, because I don’t like those. If I had more of those around here, or if I wanted to do those for some reason, I might bid them like frenchies.
we get $25.00 a unit. I don’t care if I get them, but most people pay for it because they don’t want to clean them.
thanks guys i was thinkin to bid em on the higher side and hope to not do them, but almost every house here has em so its a lot of lost revenue.

these windows are called “louvered windows”
Here in PA they’re called “jalousies”. I’m not crazy about them, but provided there aren’t storm windows which need to be removed so as to clean both sides(of the storms, that is) the jalousie part sometimes isn’t as bad as it looks. You can do a very good job quickly by either wet wiping, steel wooling and hucking or scrimming- of starting off with a wet white pad and doing a one or two step detail to finish.
I bid them per pane based on ease or not of access. In the area of $2/pane. If it takes me between 1 and 2 minutes per pane I’m making $60-$120/hour for that time at least.
That’s what we call them in Iowa as well.
I usually price them as a seperate item from around $2 each for really clean ones up to $6 each. For these I would charge $3.50 each, so $21 for all… actually make that $4 each.
They are generally a pain so charge pretty high, and if they don’t want them done, sweet!
