Windows We Are
I've been fixing my house on Downing Street (no comments please for overpaying, etc.) for about 4 months now and I've used a bunch of people off this board-- and I just wanted to give a shout out to Windows We Are, in Bay Ridge.
Scott really was a trooper, guiding me through the landmark wood window options (I eventually used Colby in the front & Trimline in the back), he completely dealt with Landmarks, and the best part was he gave me an awesome deal-- much better than the two other companies from which we got estimates.
Their installation guys were awesome, and they put up with all my requests for green products including denim insulation and no voc caulk.
I'm not yet living in my part of the house, (still doing painting) but yesterday I rented my garden apartment and I found myself showing off the wood windows... and while I never considered Downing a noisy block (besides recess time, of course), when we closed the windows there was this erie silence. It was really awesome!
Thanks to everyone for posting their info, it really helped us out!

windows we are is a solid company. I've used them before. Their turnaround time has always been superior and the quality par with others.

Am so happy to read this. I have contracted for them to install 8 windows for me. Canno wait to see what they look like.

Can you tell me about the blue jean insulation you used? Was it Bonded Logic? Did you stuff it into the spaces on the sides of the window area? I'm interested in using that material but Heights Historic Windows, the company we are using, is not familiar with it and wondered if it would be the right material to stuff in those wall cavities.
Thanks.
