Landmark Windows - Costs?
Hello – I was wondering whether anyone has had any experience with replacing landmark windows. If so, what range of quotes did you get per floor of a brownstone – each floor having say 4-6 windows. Recommendations on company who may have executed the job well, on time and at a reasonable price would be…

We are in the brooklyn area.
Thank you in advance.
We used Landmark Restoration Services, Inc 917-214-8682
To restore some historic windows in Park Slope landmarked Brownstone.
We also had the rest of the windows replaced by the same company… They really take pride of what they do

Just had 2 new parlor floor clear-cedar frames and sashes with double insulated glass custom made. Since the lower sash weighs 40lbs, we chose to go the extra mile with weights. Beautiful job.

We used Heights Historic Window & door they did the Landmarks filing & were great to work with. They directed us to Dept. Of Records for photograph of facade & gave us several options full rip out inserts we didnt like this or Sash kits. These were much less expensive we went with a hybrid some ripouts & some Sash kits. Installers were so pleasant a young Polish gentleman & his 2 entusiastic assistants. They were neat tidy & used plastic, Air filters & Hepa vac’s to clean up. We got there names on this site several months back.We priced them against some of the other people mentioned here & “Windows We Are” They were pretty competitive but much more helpful.I would need more information on the windows but ours were 1 over 1 Black exterior (they gave us a product with a 10 year warranty on the factory finish)one floor was 3-40″ X 78″ were close to $1100 supply & $750 or so I am not sure of exact number to isntall.We had 26 units total. Heights Woodworking makes the windows themselves not sure that there is a warranty on there product? We spoke with them but they did not have a great prodcut if memory serves me correctly
We took a slightly unique route with our windows, and it really paid off in terms of the finished product. We took pieces of the exterior trim off the house and brought them to a millwork shop. New blades were made from them. We had the millshop cut all the exterior trim done out of Mahogany (lasts much longer than pine). We ordered the actual windows sashes with ledges from Marvin (though I don’t totally love the Marvin windows). We hired a carpenter to intall the trim and windows.
The end result is windows that look as they did when the house was built one hundred years ago. They are really nice looking because of that exterior trim. The price ended up being 18K for seven windows. This was slightly less expensive than Marvin quoted to do the whole window with the trim. (including installation through EzTilt) However, Marvin’s trim was no where near as nice as the trim we had made!!!
If you are in a landmark district, you will have to file for a LPC permit. You can file this work yourself, have an archict do it, or have it filed by the installer. This involves photo documentation of existing conditions, an 1940 tax id photo and drawings.Contrary to 11:20am, you will have to submit the installers name and or window make. LPC knows and likes Marvin.
For reference one arched parlor window (96″ tall x 36″wide) by Marvin will run you $2000 uninstalled. For a 3 storey house (2 basement, 2 parlor, 3 2nd floor), an approximate price is $20,000 installed.
Hi
Heights Woodworking did 3 three bay windows for me for $10K.
They were efficient.
Heights Woodworking built 3 huge mahogany windows with weights for me. The price was about 8K.
