Re: Help! Replacing Andersen Narrowline windows from 1989
Wow. Thank you so much for posting these photos! They really helped so much and seeing them in the three groups was GREAT! The "before" photos look just like our existing Andersen windows and the finished result is beautiful. Wish you were local and worked in Rhode Island!! :D Thank you ag...

Re: Help! Replacing Andersen Narrowline windows from 1989
Conanc, I finally transferred all of the pics to the Flicker account. There are a ton of them, like 64 or something. I tried to create 3 groups for you. The first group kind of shows the Andersen window in stages having the sashes removed. The second group just shows most of the windows as they loo...

Re: Help! Replacing Andersen Narrowline windows from 1989
I uploaded them to a online photo account but just got slammed with installs and the local Millwright hall called me onto a little 3 week job that requires some travel, thus I been working like 16-hour days with no time off. One of my installers is a real computer wiz and I'll see if he can and I c...

Re: Help! Replacing Andersen Narrowline windows from 1989
Well, we finished up on our Andersen sash tear-out project and I've finally gotten a rainy day to play on the computer. I set up a Flickr account but really haven't ironed out all of the details on how to upload all of the appropriate photos of the project. I'll have my computer friend walk me thro...

Re: Help! Replacing Andersen Narrowline windows from 1989
Conanc, Just reading your post. We do narrowline all the time. IF (a big if) the replacement window is measured correctly a replacement window will be fine. If the installer removes the entire window sashes and frame, you MUST install a new prime window. With that being said, if the window is mis-m...

Re: Help! Replacing Andersen Narrowline windows from 1989
So..... the Andersen salesman just left. His price was over two and a half times more what everyone else's was (before a promo offer of $150 - $205 per window). :shock: He pretty much bashed the Harvey and Simonton (and all other brand) windows, bashed vinyl windows altogether (Renewal by Andersen w...

Re: Help! Replacing Andersen Narrowline windows from 1989
Might be a few days before the pics are up as I was working solo today. One adavantage of replacing existing casings would be the oportunity to insulate around the Andersen frames to the rough opening and perhaps put in some shims and screws to secure the frames better. Thanks. Looking forward to s...

Re: Help! Replacing Andersen Narrowline windows from 1989
Another option is The Andersen conversion kit. It is a tilt pack type install but does qualify for the ETC. Would your screen issue be solved by new screens? They can be ordered too. All the above will be cheaper than a good vinyl insert plus no glass loss. The vinyl insert is probably better energ...

Help! Replacing Andersen Narrowline windows from 1989
Hi, We currently have Andersen windows from 1989 and need to have them replaced with vinyl replacements. We've had three Harvey salesmen and two contractors who were recommended by Simonton stop by to give us information. Some of their suggestions on how to replace these windows is conflicting and c...

Harvey Classic or Simonton 5500?
Hi, We live in New England and are "window shopping" for 11 vinyl replacement windows and one crank-out casement window in the kitchen. It appears as though the Simonton 5500 and Harvey Classic windows are in our price range although we do not have any pricing or contractor quotes as of ye...
