How these numbers are made

Source: City of St. Louis building permits. The window is October 2023 through September 2026; a permit filed after that isn't here yet.

Usual is the middle permit: half were filed for less, half for more. Only permits with a filed value count; a value of $0 or none is left out.

The spread is approximate: we keep seven points of each firm's own range of filed values, not every permit, and pool them.

Common questions

  • How many quotes should I get for a windows & doors job in St. Louis?At least three. In the permit record the middle half of St. Louis windows & doors firms usually file between $6,012 and $16,449 a job, so two ordinary firms can sit 2.7 times apart and both be normal for St. Louis. A third quote shows which one is the outlier. Filed values are what contractors wrote on permits, not quotes, so use them to judge the spread, not to price your own job.
  • What range is normal for windows & doors jobs in St. Louis?Half of permits were filed between $5,600 and $19,800; 8 in 10 between $3,100 and $33,900. These are approximate, pooled from each firm's own spread.
  • How much do window installers charge in St. Louis?The usual windows & doors job is filed at $9,944; the middle half of firms usually file between $6,012 and $16,449. The 10 firms with the most permits in the last 12 months usually file $18,771, more than the usual. See every firm's usual job →
  • Why is this different from the per-window prices I see online?Online prices are quoted per window. A filed value is one number for the whole job on one permit, often many windows plus the work around them, and the St. Louis file does not record how many each job covered, so we can't turn $9,944 into a price per window.
  • Do bigger houses get bigger bills?In the file, yes for the firms: those working on the upper third of homes by value usually file $7,921, the lower third $7,190. That is firms, not single jobs.
  • Where does this data come from?City of St. Louis building permits, read October 2026. How the records work in St. Louis →
