replacement windows
nobodyneedsneoprene asked:


Hi!

I just recently purchased my first house and I want to replace many of the cracked/ broken windows with new/ more energy efficient windows.

They aren’t any sort of specialty window as most of the craftsman bungalows (Long Beach, CA) I drive by have the exact same dimensioned three panel type windows. They have one big pane in between two small panes.

As most of these were built with kits I would think a company would make “Craftsman Replacement windows”, but can’t seem to find any.

I can perform all of the work myself, but was wondering if anyone knew of a window company that would make my exact window without going custom.

I’m looking to simply pull the windows form a shelf and slip them in and think it should be possible.

Any recommendations? Links would be great. . .
thank you so much.

Try B & B Hardware. They specialize in ‘historic restoration solutions’ and they carry windows. Lots of other cool stuff too for your retro home. There are 2 locations in Long Beach.
