73 Out of 100 Window, Door, and Shutter Estimates Don’t Turn Into Sales — Here’s Why

In the world of window, door, and shutter replacements, most companies face a harsh reality: 73 out of every 100 estimates never convert into a sale. That’s a staggering loss of time, resources, and potential revenue. But what’s causing this massive drop-off?

Let’s break it down.

Estimating Is More Challenging Than It Should Be

For most companies, creating accurate and timely estimates isn’t just hard — it’s chaotic. Estimators are often forced to:

• Juggle multiple tools: One for creating maps, another for measurements, and yet another for managing manufacturer-specific configurations.
• Visit the property in person, only to return to the office to build the estimate later.
• Repeat the process from scratch if the customer requests changes or product variations.

The result? A time-consuming cycle that drains your team and frustrates your clients.

Speed Is Everything — And Customers Know It

Statistics show that 78% of customers move forward with the first company that gives them a professional estimate. That means if you're not the first, you're likely not closing the deal.

Every hour counts. Every delay gives your competitor a head start.

The WindSketch Advantage

WindSketch was built to solve exactly this problem.

With WindSketch, your team can generate a detailed map and professional estimate in just 10 minutes — right there at the customer’s home. Want to show them three different grid patterns or swap out the shutters for another model? No problem. With just a few clicks, you can create as many variations as needed, instantly.

All the key elements are included:

• A clean, accurate property map
• Precise placement of every window, door, and shutter

Let’s Compare: Company A vs. Company B

Company A visits the property, takes notes, and returns to the office to work on the estimate. They finally email a PDF the next day.

Company B, using WindSketch, creates a professional map and estimate on the spot. Before leaving the customer's driveway, they’ve shown three layout options, answered every question, and delivered a polished proposal.

Who do you think the customer will choose?

The answer is clear. In today’s fast-moving market, speed and professionalism are everything — and WindSketch gives you both.

Stop losing deals. Start closing them faster.
