Re: Brands to consider for Denver Colorado

How tall is the building? The delta between single and double hung is usually nominal at best.

Re: Waterproofing and trim installation question

Easiest way is probably some peal and stick flashing with some 1x4 PVC trim over the flanges. You'll need to rip some of the back of the board out to make room for the flange and tape thickness. But that will get you most of the way there. A drip cap tucked in a kerf in the siding would be an option...

Re: Brands to consider for Denver Colorado

Well...you are talking about a couple of different materials in this case to start with. Do you have an idea of what material you want? What are you replacing, material wise, currently? What are you goals? Efficiency, Longevity, Aesthetics, etc.? Have you researched all of those companies and looked...

Re: Okna 500 vs 600 difference?

Great window. One of the reasons that we suggest that brand along with a few others. Top of the food chain replacement product you put in.

Good feedback. We see that around here where a company is 3 years old and has 500 reviews. All very bought and paid for.

Re: Apex vs Sunrise vs Okna

I don't have access to their corporate memos, but I do know from the local folks here that they have almost universally stopped pitching full tear outs as the default application for wood window replacement. They defer to a pocket style set now and I also know of more than a few homes that had leaka...

Re: Apex vs Sunrise vs Okna

I guess you guys use different terms up in the NE. If we pull the jamb liners on a wood window and find rot, it's usually not so extensive that it can be cut out and replaced, sectional, in preparation for an insert opening. The frame leg isn't structural and if the client hasn't seen water to the i...

Re: Best choice for replacing 25 year old Patriot Single Hung

What are you outside vs. inside opening measurements? So you are going to ditch the drywall returns in lieu of wood returns and casing (and/or stool)?

In terms of products, if you can buy through the supply houses, Soft-Lite and Sunrise (now MI) should be available.

Re: Removing bubble wrap marks from a window.

More likely that it's failed Low-e or glass defect if they are not coming off.

Re: Apex vs Sunrise vs Okna

All of these warnings re:pockets are coming from the owner (no one from that company has actually come out to my house yet). It’s just their policy to only do full frame, regardless of the situation. The salesmen from other companies who have visited seem to have no concerns about doing pockets. Lo...

Re: Apex vs Sunrise vs Okna

What is "hidden rot"? Was this an installer saying this or the consultant. Sounds more like consultant talk than installer verbiage. Capping traps moisture...Oh crap. We are all hosed then.

Re: Apex vs Sunrise vs Okna

If the openings aren't rotted...pocket is great and quite sufficient. In some cases, without proper attention to detail, full frame installations can introduce wall and drainage issues when done. I would ask the Okna dealer for a pocket quote and while triple pane might seem like overkill, it is a n...

Re: Deciding between 7 quotes, and a question about manufacturers

Even if HomeSealed wasn't the named contractor on the one bid, you have some outlier prices (low and high) and then some in the middle. I looked at the 4 quotes that were in the middle and quoted the larger project. Average of those 4 is about 25.8K. That being the case, how does a company do it for...
