Most contractors who fit windows also fit doors, and most lead sources sell the two as one category. That is convenient and it hides something worth knowing: an entry-door enquiry and a whole-house window replacement are different sizes of job arriving at the same price, and the mix decides whether a feed is good value.
What the published window figure covers
The one published figure in this area is at least $160 for an exclusive replacement window lead, with a raw generation cost of around $70 and a verified cost of about $140. Nothing in this record publishes a door figure at all. So a combined window and door feed is being sold at a window price with an unknown proportion of door work in it, and the proportion is a fair question to ask before agreeing volume.
Why doors ride along with windows
Homeowners replacing windows frequently replace a front or patio door at the same time, and the two are quoted together far more often than they are searched for separately. That makes a combined feed genuinely sensible for the contractor and genuinely convenient for the seller, since the higher-value half carries the price for both.
Reading a combined feed honestly
Track the mix for a month: how many enquiries are whole-house window jobs, how many are a handful of units, and how many are doors alone. If the door-only share is high and the price was set on windows, that is a conversation to have with the seller rather than a reason to leave, because a filter usually exists and is simply not offered by default.
Questions people ask about window and door leads
What do window and door leads cost?
The one published figure is at least $160 for an exclusive replacement window lead. Nothing in this record publishes a separate door price.
Should windows and doors be bought as one feed?
Usually yes, since homeowners buy them together, provided you know the mix. A high door-only share at a window price is worth renegotiating.
Is window and door lead generation different from windows alone?
Only in the mix of jobs that arrive. The published pricing, the compliance issues and the exclusivity questions are the same.
How do I check the mix I am buying?
Record the job type on every enquiry for a month. If the seller cannot filter on request, that itself tells you how granular its inventory really is.
