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
Real-time adjustments
Exportable PDF proposals with your company branding

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.
