I had a couple of companies give me quotes on replacement windows. The first two measured from the inside. The last guy also measured from the outside. I asked him why and he said he was proposing to replace the entire window frame, not just provide an insert for the existing frame. He told me he preferred to take the entire window out, ensure the insulation around the window is good, then seal up and trim. He said putting an insert into an existing frame could end up solving only half the problem.
Obviously, his is the most expensive bid. The windows themselves are not too much more but installation is.
Which approach is better? The house is 45 year old, in a northern climate.

Is there any way in which vinyl windows are superior to wood windows? What are the aesthetic considerations with vinyl windows? What are the maintenance issues with vinyl windows?

I am wanting to measure for some replacement vinyl windows and need to know the proper way. I think I have a pretty good idea, but want to know it is correct. I currently have some old wooden double hung windows. If I replace with vinyl, will I use the current sill or will ALL of the existing window have to come out? What would be the right way to measure if this is the case. Im pretty sure I know how to measure if I can use the existing case. I am trying to keep it cheap and try and do everything myself. Thanks!

We desperately need new replacement windows in our home. My wife is on a State Level Disability and I have been laid off work for 11 months, it’s been an extremely hard year for us.
Does anyone know any contractors or local window manufacturers or lumber supply companies that would be willing to help me install the windows or to donate any windows to upgrade our old one’s ?
The windows in our home is the Original one’s from 1959 when our home was built.
I am willing to help out to install the windows - but I have no experience in this area.
Does anyone know of any organization, agency or govt. program that might be able to legitimately help us ? We have 22 windows in a 1,200 sq. ft. home to replace.
I know I am asking something for nothing, but I would be willing to barter my time in labor in exchange for the windows being done properly and I would be willing to help.
We live in Shamokin Dam, PA 17876 near Selinsgrove, PA ( 1 hr. N of Harrisburg )
Thanks kindly

I have original, single pane windows in my house, which was built in 1962. I have 14 windows to replace. If I replace with energy star windows, how will that effect my heating bills in the winter? I’m in Buffalo so this could potentially make a huge difference. Has anyone in a cold climate done the same thing I am interested in doing? What did you find?

I tried buying a new external cd/dvd drive and it says the computer can’t locate the drivers and the manufacterer (HP) doesn’t support W98 anymore. Would an internal drive work or am I totally out of luck or is there something else I can try?

I would like to know if anybody has heard of Polaris windows and if you can tell me anything about them. The windows I am interested in are Thermalweld window and Dynatech window. Which is better and what is the difference?
Anything info about these will help me greatly.
Thanks,

I’ve been told that lemon Pledge will help my windows glide more easily. Since Pledge is originally for wood, will it discolor the vinyl? It is white and only installed a few months ago so I don’t want to ruin the color or texture.
Also, I was thinking of using it on my sliding glass patio door instead of WD40 (to make it glide smoother). Will it be damaging to metal?
Anything good or bad effects would also be appreciated.
