Contact info for Architect David Johnson

Housepoor, i realize that. I used 20% because that is on line with what some contractors will mark certain things up.

I am not sure what a gc’s liability insurance costs. Aside from that. I am wondering if these contractors consider worker’s comp a payroll expense or an insurance expense. My mom worked for an re management/owner and i will ask her how they looked at that. There is no way out of some of this and the city does not care if hic’s like me have insurance but with gc’s they require it.

I agree with xistent. In a perfect world, restoring the original windows sounds great. I guess I’d consider it if I lived in San Francisco or London where the weather is so temperate. But single glazed, weights and chains window will never be as efficient as new double glazed, gasketed windows. Also, many people (like us) are replacing ugly aluminum windows that have reached the end of their (short) life span. Our new windows allow much less heat transference than the aluminum ones and are fantastically draft proof. FWIW, I’ve heard that Kolbe is as good as Marvin and significantly less expensive — they’re less well known because they advertize less.

It’s not very easy to see, and it looks exotic beserk neo-colonial — quite unusual — but probably late 1890s.

You may already be on your way but here’s another option.   “Ducted” mini-split systems (steam_man mentions them too).  The apt will look like you have central A/C (little ducts, no wall units).  I have this in my house.  It is not an easy or cheap solution.  But if you can make it work in your space, it can be a good one.  It was worth it for me bc I wanted to didn’t want to lose space to the ducts of central A/C, didn’t think central A/C ducting would work with the look of our walls, didn’t want to see the wall units of a ductless split system, didn’t seriously consider the high-velocity system.   I think the ducts are unobtrusive enough to work with a traditional brownstone interior (moldings etc).  I have 4 inside units (2 in ceilings of tall parlor floor, 2 above closets on lower ceiling ground floor); sufficient room is the key issue.  The Daikin system works very well.  Whatever system you get, I rec you get an HVAC engineer to properly size the total system, the units and any ducting.  You don’t want an installer to just be guessing.   http://www.daikin.com/global_ac/products/residential/multi_plus/outline.html As installed in my house: http://www.allrenovationllc.com/all-project-photos?shashin_album_key=9

I was just in a house in Park Slope today with similar molding on the bedroom floors. The house seemed a mixture of styles, including neo-Colonial and Neo-Italian Renaissance. So probably 1880s-1890s, most likely 1890s Queen Anne.

If you look at each component as a separate entity,  most of that is available today from companies like Van Dyke’s, and other suppliers of old house goodies. It would not be too difficult for a carpenter to replicate, assuming it will be painted when you are done. Look at Van Dyke Restorer’s, and/or Old House Journal’s advertisers for more sources. http://www.vandykes.com/moldings-trim/c/16/ Even if you are keeping paint on it, you might want to consider stripping the originals, or your 2 layers of paint on the new piece will look very different from the 10 layers on the original.

If the question is, what is the style of this door surround, I would call it Neo-Grec (1870-1880’s) or Eastlake Victorian.

If Dyke’s or Adriatic doesn’t have it, your carpenter can have a router bit custom made and can custom mill the wood using the router bit (if this design can be made with a router bit). Otherwise, he or she can make a mold and create the molding out of resin, but that will have to be painted or faux painted. We just had a router bit made for some bead board and we used Atlas Saw & Tool in Spring Grove, Ill. They charged $195 for a fairly simple router bit. It took about four days and they Fed Ex’d it. And they are very nice people and sent us some Christmas candy.

Router bits make pretty much straight cuts, as you see on baseboard molding. I can’t see the molding in the picture very well, but a router might not be able to handle those cut out parts and scallops. In case anyone is interested, we have some picture moldings with a ribbon and sawtooth design that appears to be made of wood with gesso molded on the top.

Thanks for the advice! I’ve seen a lot mentions of Alarms R Us for alarm systems. Are there any other companies that are recommended?

It’s not a legal bedroom without a window.  Lot line widows are also not legal.  Do you own the apt.?

adding a window isn’t difficult, but remember, an external wall is likely helping to hold up the roof – so you’ll have to take that into consideration (and have an engineer properly analyze the load to give you proper size restrictions on the opening, and possible headers needing to be installed (all the way down to fottings in the cellar) But first – is it your building?

I own the apartment but it’s a small coop building, and I don’t know how supportive of this idea the board would be.  Also, this would certainly be a lot line window since the building next door abuts ours directly.
