Unfortunately, we contractually agreed on the color white for the windows, front door, and garage door.
How much do you estimate the additional costs would be if we changed to the color anthracite?

This varies from builder to builder: we paid just under 1,800 for a whole bunch of windows (the entire house). For the sectional door from Zapf, I have to guess... about 600???
But this was back in 2013.

You usually have a choice of different RAL colors. White and anthracite should generally cost the same.

It probably depends on the material. With wood-aluminum, that’s how I know it.

As I mentioned, I received quotes from 10 different construction companies in total, and for the windows, they all ranged between 4000 and 6000 EUR.
That was too much for just some film.
I would have definitely done it for 1800.
That is fair.

For us:
- 10 windows and 2 patio doors, additional cost just under €2,000
- Garage door €600
- Garage entrance door €180

If it has to be coated white, that is often the case...

... or also with uPVC-aluminum or aluminum.

With uPVC, white is usually the standard color of the material itself, and other colors are often created by laminating films. That naturally costs differently because it involves an additional step and material.

Window manufacturers tend to charge only a symbolic amount for this, whereas home builders usually charge significantly more.

For plastic frames, white is the standard color because the profile itself is white. Any other color requires a foil finish, which incurs an additional cost. That is how it was explained to us.
For 14 windows and 8 patio doors, the extra cost for the foil finish is 1,200€
