The NYC AIDS Housing Network is also in that building, and evidently suffered smoke damage, loss of computers, etc. They are a stalwart local non-profit -- now'd be a good time to send them a donation. http://nycahn.org/

I had mine done a couple years ago by a guy named Davidson, who was recommended by the window guy at Dykes Lumber.
It was parlor floor, so extra tall windows that would be $$$ to replace, plus I was into keeping the originals instead of adding to a landfill somewhere...

He put in vinyl strips in the sides for insulation, and I got to keep the wood windows.

LWP is good. I've got replacement windows from them twice over the years, no repairs.

They are aluminum windows and the sashes have broken.

Thanks for the LWP recs!I'll call them tomorrow.
