County figures provide context
The supplied Hillsborough County permit records contain 4,989 permits and 440 contractors. Declared values have a median of $16,000 (median of 4613 permits with a declared value), with the middle portion spanning $9,477-$27,839.
Permit counts describe filings, not necessarily completed installations. Declared values should not be treated as verified final invoices, and contractor counts do not establish referral participation or availability.
Compare declared values by suburb
Riverview has a median declared permit value of $17,298 (median of 408 permits with a declared value), with a middle range of $10,000-$28,945.

Apollo Beach's median is $20,000 (median of 195 permits with a declared value), with a middle range of $11,000-$32,842. These Hillsborough County permit figures reflect different project mixes; they do not establish which suburb has cheaper equivalent work.
Why a project can differ from the median
An entry door replacement and a project covering windows and patio doors have different scopes. Ask each contractor to identify opening sizes, operating styles, glass specifications and frame materials rather than pricing an undefined package.
Request separate explanations for opening alterations, damaged framing, surrounding finishes, access equipment and disposal. For these items, cost varies; get several quotes.
Make written quotes comparable
Give each contractor the same opening list. Ask for product models, approval documents, installation scope, permit responsibilities and exclusions in writing.
Check how the agreement handles concealed damage and changes after work starts. Compare payment terms and the written manufacturer and contractor warranties alongside the scope.

Questions homeowners ask
Is the declared permit value the final project price?
It should not be treated as a verified final invoice. It is the value declared in the permit record. Ask the contractor for a written quote covering your actual products, openings and installation scope.
Can I calculate a per-window price from these figures?
No reliable per-window price follows from these figures alone. The supplied data does not provide a comparable opening count and product specification for each project. Cost varies; get several quotes.
Does a lower suburb median mean lower contractor prices?
No. Differences can reflect the mix of recorded projects. Compare written quotes for the same scope rather than treating suburb medians as prices for equivalent work.
Can RG Holdings quote my installation?
No. RG Holdings runs the referral service. Independent contractors provide measurements, product recommendations, quotes and installation contracts.
