Common questions about costs and estimates for this service.
Material specifications, installation complexity, and custom design requirements are the primary cost drivers. High-performance glazing and specialty metals can increase costs by 25-45%, while custom fabrication adds $12,000-$45,000 to typical projects.
Medway typically offers 10-20% lower costs than Boston due to reduced overhead and labor costs, while still maintaining access to skilled craftspeople and quality materials. However, transportation costs may add $1,000-$3,000 for specialty materials.
Most building specialty work requires building permits costing $500-$2,500, structural permits for curtain walls ($1,000-$4,000), and may require special inspections ($800-$2,200) depending on the project scope and building height.
Simple storefront projects take 1-2 weeks, while complex curtain wall installations require 4-12 weeks. Custom millwork adds 2-6 weeks for fabrication, and weather delays can extend schedules by 1-3 weeks during winter months.
Standard warranties range from 1-2 years on installation workmanship and 5-20 years on materials. Curtain wall systems typically include 10-year weatherproofing warranties, while custom millwork carries 2-5 year warranties depending on materials used.
