I don't have any specific reccomendations for you but that really isn't the hardest job; the real trick is getting a window that looks nice on your house and fits your windows. Because of the sizes of the windows on a lot of our homes, you may very well have to get custom windows. Installing the correctly sized storm windows isn't really much harder than turning a screw-driver and sealing around the edges of the window with some sort of caulk.
A contractor has the same problems getting windows to fit your home but will charge you more for them (markup) and will, of course, want some money for his labor installing them. If you can do this job yourself, you will save labor costs and may be able to get the windows for a similar price, if not less. You may want to consider taking all or some of this money that you would save and investing in more expensive windows which may suit the character of your house better and will probably last longer. This, of course, is up to you, but windows drastically affect the look of a building. Check out the library; I'm sure that they have a straightforward home repair and improvement book that will cover this type of job in simple terms. Good luck! -j. scott clinton -----Original Message----- From: Sarah Scheckter [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, October 20, 2004 9:57 AM To: Sarah Scheckter Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [UC] replacing storm windows-- triple-track hi, it's that time of year again--i'm looking for someone who can do a good job replacing old storm windows with 'triple-track' ones. has anyone had good experiences with a contractor who does this? thanks, sarah ---- You are receiving this because you are subscribed to the list named "UnivCity."
