Window replacement for 6 family 77 windows .

[Jack Camilliere]

It’s time to replace windows. Over 100 years old. Any contractor referrals. Westchester ny.

I'm a preservationist at heart. While your windows may be too far gone to save, consider that they have made it 100 years and were designed to be maintained. Whatever modern vinyl thing you put in will be ready for the landfill in 1/4 that time. Plenty of people will gladly pay a premium to live in a restored old house, and vinyl windows aren't usually part of that.

Here's some reading material:

I'd rather spend $250/opening replacing cords, fixing broken panes, installing weather stripping, and installing/tightening storms (all of which will give you the same efficiency as replacements) than put in vinyl.

I say all this as a guy who eventually caved and put in 45 vinyl replacements in my own residence. The previous owners had absolutely butchered the old ones and they were impossible to repair. It broke my heart, but I was looking at $1000+ an opening to save them. Sometimes you have to make the tough decisions. But don't get rid of the old ones just because. If they're in OK shape, saving them can be cost effective and really help maintain the historic nature of the house.
