RK Windows in Greenpoint?
Has anyone ever bought any windows from RK Windows on Norman Avenue, Greenpoint Brooklyn? Anyone buy their double pane windows with outside screen? Looking for either vinyl or more of a historic look. Thanks.

Thanks.
Has anyone used U.S.Window Factory in Richmond Hill or Universal Window Co. in Corona? thanks.
I’ve had RK Windows in the house for 10 years+ and they are fine. Not sure about their new product line.
I should specify why I did not like the install. I wanted to put in the biggest replacement window I could fit in the opening. My handymen would have been aggressive and cut out more of the old wood frame so I could have had an extra inch of window. RK will only install the window in the opening you have. They won’t widen the opening for you, or at least they wouldn’t for me even though I was just asking for them to shave off an inch of old wood.
Thanks very much. Aluminum is what I meant. I’m doing some in the back right now. I’m waiting to reside the front with wooden shingles and at that time I will do the front windows. What was it about the install that you didn’t like?
I replaced most of my windows on a 2 fam row house with RK. They also did a custom aluminum/glass door for me. They are aluminum, double pane, brown frame. I don’t know why you want vinyl over aluminum? I understand wanting historic, but the vinyl ones I pulled out and replaced looked like an early ’80s Sears special.
The windows are good. I wasn’t thrilled with the installation and if I had to do it again, I’d hire my local handymen to do the install. Their prices are very good and the quality of window is better than home depot. The apartments are seriously quieter and warmer since the windows have been replaced. Two of my windows are from another local company and have a thicker outer pane, custom made for more noise control. The cheaper RK windows are just as quiet and look the same.
