Hey @Tony Brooks thank you for the offer I am in Fort Gratiot - I think it's a good two hour drive form where you are unfortunatly. 

Hey @Tony Brooks I thinkt he cheapest thing to do would be change the glass I've found a company in my area that can do it but I am not sure that will solve the issue as they let in a lot of cold air during the winter months.

I have two more contractors coming today so we will see what they say. 

Hey @Matthew Maddaleni Yeah I agree trying to do somethings myself taking me outside of my skill level seems ricsky. I've spoken to lowes but not HD as of yet so maybe they will be an option if I can't get anyting worked out this week with contractors. 

I think you make some valid points to consider thank you @Ricky Davis

Thank you @Jon Segura 

Hey @Nathan Paul Konyndyk yeah it can get pretty cold up here thats for sure - thank you for the advice it is very much appreciated - I am in a placed called Fort Gratiot just on the boarder.

@Matt Millard that's a really good price is that including instalation as well?

@Jason Yarusi yeah they also let in a lot fo cold air, vinyl seems to be the most popular from all the feeback I've had but I am hoping to get it done lower than $275 but we will see. thanks for your reply.

Hey @Jeffrey Baroni yes this is very helpful 
so one of the contractors today said the windows need everything replacing, he also said the windows he would install are "Ply Gem" and they would be custom made to fit each space. 
The windows I have are all "sliding style" 

The windows I have installed are aluminum but the frames are made of wood, I have four with broken glass and most of the others have bad condensation. The other issue is they seem to let in a lot of cold air during the winter.
The wood frames are old but don't look in bad shape I am guessing they could be paited, I haven't noticed any rot on the wood.

I will take some photos tomorrow so you have a better idea of the condition and maybe guide me a little more if you have time.

Thank you so much I appreciate your reply.

@Paul M. yeah I'm in Michigan so it gets pretty cold you can feel the wind coming through the windows some days so it has to be a consideration.

Going to get a number of quotes so it will be interesting to see how it all compares at the end of the week.
