It's one of the best suburban neighborhoods in 5 Boroughs of NYC, homes within 2-3 blocks sell for 850K - 1.5 mil. Good house, 1920's build. I will probably retire in the house. Bought it 3 years ago from MIL to make estate settlement easier. My wife grew up in the house, her Mom will live there until she doesn't want to or passes.

Was thinking about either the Andersen or Marvin products. Vinyl just would not look right, plus we can ditch the 1960's storm windows. Key is keeping the window moldings and trim intact, just cannot replace them with anything made today, even with custom millwork , 'cause the tight grain and age cannot be matched.

Not DIYing this one, interviewing local contractors for the job. Already had an Architect at my firm draw up a typical detail and spec including slow rise foam fill in the sash pockets and over/under the windows. The guys bidding know I'm an Inspector so the "Creme de la Crap" have not been on the bid list.

Just wanted to see what experiences people had with replacement windows from the big 3.
