Free Wainscoting


hello. we salvaged this out of a prospect heights brownstone about 3 years ago and have since decided it won’t fit well in our house. it is free to whomever claims it and comes to get it. it measures about 9ft long and there is a second matching piece that is about two feet wide. there are two holes in it for a heat vent but could be easily replaced by a skilled woodworker. The piece is located in Bushwick near the Halsey stop on the J.

I always think its good to review you people you find on Brownstoner. I would like to thank the people who put forward Jamie Grubb. I found him professional, reasonable and very easy to work with. No complaints here.

Deck permits


Do you need a permit to build a wooden deck in your backyard if it is freestanding and not connected to your home? I am not in a historic district if that makes a difference. Thanks!

Window Bars and Locks


Hi there. Hoping to find some advice. Our rear windows do not have bars on them and we would like have them installed. Any recommendations on who to go with? Costs etc?

Also would love some advice on the most hardcore door locks out there. Something like a Fox Police lock maybe?

Thanks!

Permit?


Do you need a permit to move a bathroom to an area that was previously a second kitchen? We plan on doing most of the work ourselves.

Winter Windows


Am I crazy to change all my windows out in January? They really need it and waiting until Spring seems like a long time. If you’ve had your windows done please chime in a let me know how long there were holes in your house!


Thanks

Window help


Hi there.. We are in the middle of replacing the windows in our Bushwick woodframe. We had Bay Ridge out and they quoted us a decent price ($450 per window) but we cant seem to get much out of them about the brand/quality of windows Or our other choices. They are “KC White Aluminum Double Hung Replacement Windows,
Clear Insulated Glass, Sash Lock & Half Screens”. Any experience with these? I am obviously getting other quotes from other vendors but this being the first I would love your feedback! Thanks!!
