We have decided to contract with Pace Windows of Victor, NY for new windows for both bedrooms. All four are surrounded pretty much by dry rot and the outside window sills are in bad condition. The windows can only be opened from the top at the moment because something snapped inside them and if you open them from the bottom the window won't stay up. I had all the windows (except the one over the kitchen sink and the one in the laundry room) replaced a couple of years before I retired. The rest of the windows are holding up fine...it's just the bedroom windows that don't or won't stay up. Anyway, we looked at replacing them ourselves (or more properly, Jeff replacing them) but we're not sure what we'll find when the existing windows are taken out. This way Pace will place and correct anything that needs fixing. We've had other problems with these bedroom windows...moisture collects on the inside sill, etc...so it's just time to fix the problem. Since Pace will cover the outside frames with vinyl it will also satisfy our insurance company's complaint about the dry rot. Hope this is the right move 'coz it's not cheap! I'll post photos as soon as they start work.
Pace just called. We've been approved for credit and the official measurements will be done on 9/14. Photos of that will follow!
