Does anyone have experience with a company or contractor who has had success with getting an application for new windows through the Landmarks Commission? I was working with a sales rep from Pella windows to replace my old windows (mostly vinyl, but some original wood) with new windows with aluminum clad exteriors. My first application to Landmarks was, however, returned with a request for further information and diagrams which so far the Pella rep has been unable to provide; and I am reluctantly realizing I am going to have to start the whole process over again with a new supplier. Brownstoner, I remember you were looking at your window options a few months back. What did your research turn up? Please pass along anything you’ve learned regarding brands, contracts, Landmarks permissions, etc. And everyone else who’s done their windows, please weigh in.
