Yes, ongoing 5-10 year market. February 2023 Cyclone Gabrielle damaged thousands of Hawke's Bay windows. Quote per-window-unit (NZ$1,770-NZ$6,500 installed including double-pane Low-E, frame, install) at insurer-rate pricing. Build relationships with 5-10 insurance assessors (AA, IAG, Tower, Vero, FMG).
Hourly rates are $65 to $130 in the US, £30-75 in the UK, A$83-140 in Australia, R220-600 in South Africa, and C$65-115 in Canada. Most glaziers quote per pane or per square metre rather than hourly because glass cost dominates the bill.
Standard 4mm float glass in a sound frame is $215-420 per pane installed. Larger panes, double-glazed units, or laminated safety glass run $475-1,500. The variables: glass type, pane size, frame condition, and access.
For jobs over $590, get 2-3 quotes. Compare glass spec (thickness, grade, coating), frame work scope, and warranty. The cheapest quote often substitutes lower-grade glass or skips the frame inspection.
Double-glazed units have two panes of glass with argon gas and a desiccant seal between them, plus a low-E coating. Manufacturing cost is 3-5x single pane. The payback: 20-40% energy savings on heating and cooling over 10-15 years.
Code requires safety glass (toughened or laminated) in doors, sidelights within 300mm of a door, wet areas (shower, bathroom), and any panel below 1m from floor. Outside those locations, regular float glass is legal but less safe.
