Skylight quotes need four separate scope levels
Skylight pricing shows why a services marketplace should not compare a product price with an installed project total. In our latest 99manos analysis, replacing a 60 × 60 cm unit in an existing opening starts at €191.69 in direct costs. That excludes roof access, interior finishing, authorized waste disposal, contractor overhead, margin, and tax.
The product lesson is to capture four scope levels before professionals quote: product only, installed unit, replacement with removal, and a complete project with access and finishes. Intake should also distinguish repair, replacement, a new opening, and an upgrade to an operable or motorized model. Once those fields are explicit, quote differences become explainable instead of looking arbitrary.
