Hi,
We’re in the process of renovating our wood-frame “townhouse” in C. Gardens and are having a hard time finding a good window installation company who will do what we’re looking for, so I’m hoping someone can help.

We’re replacing two garden level aluminum (or maybe vinyl?) windows (the easy part), and adding new windows to a new addition (the more difficult part).

A large window opening was designed in the addition to hold 3, 36″ wide casement windows (~6ft high). So far we’ve had out: Bayridge, Lucky and Windows We Are. I’m turned off Bayridge based on postings here. Windows We Are said the casements are two big to function properly and will only install a picture window surrounded by two smaller casements. When we asked if they would do 4 casements instead, they basically said no and then stopped returning calls. Lucky will do the 4 casements, but won’t give us references (they give addresses, but no phone numbers).

My questions are: can anyone here recommend Lucky (and Trimline windows), and would you be willing to let me come by to see them?

Do people think that 4 casements, at 27″will also be a problem, or does this seem like a reasonable size?

I like the idea of the Trimlines, as they’re wood clad and Marvin & Pella are out of our budget.

If anyone has anyone else (or other products) to recommend, I’d love some input.

Thanks!
