- The Software Transforming the Window and Door Replacement Industry

For years, window and door replacement companies have operated with a patchwork of spreadsheets, improvised drawings, factory calls, and manual processes that consume hours — sometimes days — before a solid estimate can be delivered.
In 2026, that’s changing.And the name appearing more and more in conversations among dealers, project managers, and sales teams is Windsketch.
This isn’t just about going digital. It’s about accelerating the entire business. These are the five capabilities positioning Windsketch as the operating system of the industry.
1. Estimates that move from “process” to “moment”
In most companies, quoting is still a chain of steps: measure, draw, check pricing, verify configurations, review margins.
With Windsketch, that workflow collapses into a single experience.
As users draw the home and place each opening — windows, doors, sliders — the system calculates automatically behind the scenes. Pricing, configurations, product combinations… everything builds in real time.
The result: when the map is done, the estimate is done. What used to take hours in the office now happens in a single working session measured in minutes.
2. Every manufacturer in one system (and one proposal)
A rarely discussed industry reality: most projects don’t rely on a single brand. Windows from one manufacturer, doors from another, specialty products from a third.
Traditionally, that means multiple systems, multiple price lists, and multiple opportunities for mistakes.
Windsketch unifies that ecosystem. It allows teams to work with all manufacturers inside one environment and, more importantly, combine products from different factories into a single, seamless estimate.
For sales teams, this means flexibility.For customers, clarity.For companies, far less operational friction.
3. Permitting maps without slowing down the sale
In many markets — especially where building codes are strict — project maps for permits become a bottleneck.
Windsketch integrates that step into the sales workflow. The plan drawn for quoting becomes the foundation for project documentation. No redrawing. No rework. No jumping between tools.
Permitting shifts from a post-sale obstacle to a natural part of the process from the very beginning.
4. Elevations that no longer require an outside architect
Generating elevations used to mean outsourcing, waiting, and increasing project costs. Today, with Windsketch, a member of the internal team can create clean, professional elevations directly in the system.
This doesn’t just reduce expenses. It changes the speed of the company. Decisions happen faster. Documents are produced in-house. Teams gain autonomy.
5. The AI agent that sells even when you’re offline
Perhaps the most futuristic — and practical — piece of the ecosystem is Windsketch’s AI sales agent. Integrated into the dealer’s website, it acts as a 24/7 digital sales representative.
It answers questions, explains products, clarifies configurations, and captures customer information with remarkable naturalness. This isn’t a generic chatbot; it’s aligned with the company, its products, and how it operates.
While the team sleeps, the system keeps having conversations with future customers.
More than software — a new way to operate
What sets Windsketch apart isn’t a single feature, but how everything connects: drawing, estimating, documentation, project management, and customer engagement in one continuous flow.
In an industry where lost time translates directly into lost sales, that integration is becoming a competitive edge.
That’s why more companies aren’t just trying Windsketch — they’re reorganizing how they work around it.
If the future of window and door replacement is faster, more precise, and more digital, Windsketch is already there.
