BWR was recommended by neighbors and did ours, which had to half way be rebuilt and did beautiful, if not pricey, work.

I heard he might have passed the business on to one of his guys, but I’m pretty sure Vinny (the owner when we used them) didn’t do the work anyway and that it was his guys, whom he had trained well. Ours were pretty bad so they actually removed the exterior doors for a day or two to work on them in their shop.

We had Ernest Porcelli repair a stained glass skylight in our house 40+ years ago, he did a great job, expertly replacing missing bits. Porcelli is still in business, so he must be doing something right:

If the wheels are out of adjustment or if the track gets dirty the sliding doors get sticky and hard to open. Raise the door to clear the track and roll smoothly. For this lift the door on the track with a screwdriver.
When a sliding door doesn’t work, check if the rollers are derailed. Ensure it isn’t just alignment issue. Remove the cover and turn the screw 1/4 turn clockwise to raise the door or counterclockwise to lower it.
Now test the door and repeat until it moves smoothly.
There is a roller adjustment screw for raising or lowering the door (for both top and bottom supported doors).
Sharply angle the bottom of the door outward lifting the door from the track. Some sliders have got a molding designed to prevent the door from falling out. After finding the screws which attach them, dab them with paint remover, extract the screw. You can also check for some stylish treatment options I found with (https://www.clerawindows.com/blog/stylish-window-treatment-options-for-sliding-doors) window installation ottawa for sliding doors.

Why don’t you try to take some support at the bottom of the door system so that it will help to slide the door easily, without making it heavier. OR even you can replace it with some light weight sliding doors available with the screens now a days.

Have you looked at repairing the windows instead of replacing them? Are they original wood windows? My limited experience with large replacement windows (I bought an apartment in a 1926 building and the original windows had already been replaced with aluminum) is that the new windows that get installed aren’t really designed to be quite as large as they are and the internal mechanisms fail as a result. This may be just in my building, but I thought it was worth mentioning if you have particularly large windows.

Windows are definitely expensive if done right, but can be one of the greatest comfort and convenience changes. If you have traffic or other outside noise, laminated noise reduction windows can dramatically change noise infiltration. Good windows will vastly change the cold drafts. This is an expensive and intrusive project– avoid skimping if you can. I installed Marvin laminated noise reduction tilt and turn windows in a Manhattan loft and the cold and noise reduction is impressive. And you can’t break them with a sledge hammer, which might make you more secure.

You should do your 100 year old brownstone a favor and install some decent windows. Single hung vinyl windows are cheap because they are terrible windows. The vinyl expands and contracts making noises, creating poor seals and windows that become difficult to move. Your color options for vinyl will be white. White windows can look good with brick for a colonial look but they look terrible on a brownstone house. The vinyl casements you are looking at open out. That can be fine for a small window but a large one will get blown around by the wind. If you want screens they will be on the inside and that’s really not pleasant to look at in your home.

The majority of brownstones that have had windows replaced have brown aluminum double hung windows that are supplied locally. Check out a place like All United Window and Glass (allunitedwindow.com) or others for options. Double hungs are much more appropriate for a brownstone than a casement and you can tilt in the top and bottom sashes for cleaning. The new aluminum windows have a thermally broken frame so they are more energy efficient than in the past. Marvin makes a great aluminum clad window but they are expensive so your best bet is probably a local supplier like the one I mentioned.

casement will always win when it comes to energy efficiency.
Get an inswing casement, best are European.
The silly outswing ones that I see sometimes are impossible to clean.
