Replacement Windows Discussion Board Forum

You should be able to see where the screen goes and measure, then go to a good hardware store or maybe one of the big box stores and get new screens made.

If not call a handyman and have him do it, should be pretty simple.

"I get your explanation but my position remains that a WW installer gets $30 - $50 per window he doesnt have to pay anybody out of that. I have no Idea what bennies he gets beside that if any. So why would a WW installer be better off working for a Sub and getting a piece of the total $50 - $10...

Where to start...First off the numbers you are using are generally for two or more people, rarely will you see a solo installer its just not practical on a daily basis. For the low budget companies that are not capping the exteriors a solo guy may be good, but thats uncommon. 2. Installers spend a g...

Hard to offer any meaningful suggestions without some good pictures. A couple of points though, you need to stop the water from getting into the capping/jamb area not try to stop it at the point its going between the window and the jamb. Is there a trim board between the siding j-channel and the wra...

That looks pretty bad..the metal work, nailing and caulking all look sloppy in those pictures. It has more to do with the skill of the installer and wether they care about the work than the nature of your house, all jobs can look nice with a little effort. Also its probably not that they didn't noti...

Thermal industries makes a pretty nice looking vinyl window with a real wood interior.

There are also replacement windows made of materials other than vinyl you may like the look of more, but they can be a little pricey.

Generally old aluminum windows were nailed onto the studs before the brick or interior jambs were put on. They want to order the window to fit the brick and try to screw at an extreme angle back into the edge of the jamb or into shims they knock into place at the window corners. If the window is ord...

I think your saying they will measure the window to fit the brick, maybe use tapcon screws in the mortar or shims between the wall and brick at the window corners to screw the window into and then caulk inside and out. I've seen companies do that type of install, but I think most companies will scre...

You can do alot better. Try to get 2 or 3 bids from local window companies, maybe you can ask friends/relatives who they used. Check out the home shows in your area, lots of window companies there. For that matter Home depot sells the same window with a very good warranty for a good bit less if you ...

Not positive but I don't think there are any schuco dealers in that area. Both Alside and Simonton make a good window and are popular in your area. I believe the Alside windows are a little beefier. With windows that size your going to need to be careful in selecting a product, easy for them to not ...

The main problem with them is that they pay their installers 35 bucks a hole wrap included. Try getting someone who knows what they are doing, let alone knows what they are doing and will take the time to do it for that price. I'm sure it happens from time to time but in general you probably best no...
