Discrepancies in price of materials
Comments (3)Thanks for the replies. This happened back at the end of January so it would be difficult to determine if it was a legitimate increase in lumber prices. I guess I will send them payment for what I have calculated and then it will be on them to justify the increase if they want the rest of their money....See MoreStorm Windows and Repair vs Replacing Old Wood Windows
Comments (18)The provia storms are very good. Price is fine, maybe a hair high if it does not include wrapping, but its a great price if it does. I agree overall with the advice provided so far on replacements vs storms, it really depends on the individual circumstances. It can be hard to justify spending that much without getting he other added benefits of replacements ( ease of cleaning, lower maintenance , potentially enhanced property value, better energy efficiency, etc), however if your existing windows can be reconditioned to the point of operating smoothly and looking good, adding the storm to that can definitely get you pretty close in those areas but with cost savings and maintaining the original integrity of the home. As wow alluded to, you could certainly take those dollars that you save and put them to air sealing , insulation , etc in other areas of he home and increase your energy savings exponentially....See MoreReplacing Replacement Windows
Comments (3)I agree with Windows on Washington. Putting brand new windows in and leaving the old coil and caulk is a little like buying a brand new car and using the tires off the old car. If you don't feel comfortable doing the capping, you can contact a company that does siding and get a price from them. It usually runs somewhere between $50 and $100 per window depending on size and complexity but would be worth it IMO....See MoreReplace glass or replace windows?
Comments (5)I will suggest taking a picture or several close-up pictures of the window and ask a good local window shop what they think it is. A good shop will answer it for you to earn your future business. A bad shop will ignore you or try to sell you something without answering to your satisfaction. A fine way to figure out who is good and bad in case you need them. Or post your pictures here so the many professionals reading here can share their opinions before you go to a shop. May be the seal can be fixed, may be it is some hidden cracks or it may require a replacement. Until the pros can see it, no one can venture any educated opinion. GOod luck!...See Moretoddinmn
