<h3>How much are roof frames really cost?</h3>
When it comes to the cost of roof frames, there is more to consider than just the cost of the frame itself. There are the basic costs associated with traditional frames such as materials, shop labor, detailing, and installation. These upfront costs can be readily compared to the price of QuickFrames, less the detailing which is no longer required. But what about when the sizes and locations are not provided and the deck installation is delayed? This situation can cause massive hidden cost. In addition, there are often forgotten or mis-located frames that create even more costs.</p>

<h3>QuickFrames Pricing Overview</h3>
QuickFrames can be configured in many ways for many different purposes so its not practical for us to create a pricing table that includes every possible set of requirements. However, here are some examples of prices charged for frames on recent projects, as well as the competing prices that were quoted for traditional frames. (Traditional roof frames are typically quoted installed, therefore the QuickFrames prices include an installation fee.  Since most in the trades will not quote less than one hour per install, even if it really takes 15 minutes, a generous $75 per frame allowance is made for QuickFrames installations in these comparisons.)

<h3 style="text-align: center;">Indirect Cost Savings<br />(Testimonials)</h3>
[photo_testimonial name="Mark Fultz, Vice President of Operations, ABLE Steel" img=""] On a recent 1.3 million square foot warehouse, utilizing QuickFrames allowed us to exceed the initial schedule by four weeks.  When you're talking minutes as opposed to hours to install a frame that has adjustment capabilities if there is a problem, it was an easy decision for us. We will never go back to [traditional roof frames].[/photo_testimonial]
[photo_testimonial name="Nikki Wood, Project Estimator, Bell Steel" img=""] By using QuickFrames, a ton of my shop time was freed up, and the end result looks great. The frames blend into the roof seamlessly, and if I need to move them, I can do so in a snap. Their frames are well-priced, and the pricing for bulk orders is even better.[/photo_testimonial]
