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.

For a space that size, I’d suggest just going into a nice nursery and asking for some advice. If you have a car, Weisner Brother’s on Staten Island has a great selection of plants and several very knowledgeable and helpful staff members. If you take them a photo of your garden space (even on your phone) and dimensions, they can help you choose things. I had a pretty good idea of what I wanted, but wasn’t sure about what tree to get. Based on the maximum height I wanted and our desire for something that was less likely to grow roots into the utilities, they helped me find lots of good options. The plants I got there have all done really well (wintered well) and been healthy. It wasn’t until I bought a hydrangea somewhere local that we got an infestations. Within Brooklyn there’s Kings County Nursery, though I’ve found their help to be more hits than misses. I love the Brooklyn Terminal Market for my annual bedding plants.

I would be very happy to help you with your project, and find the right plants – adapted and happy where they are. I work mostly in brownstone Brooklyn, and have access to wholesale nurseries. If you click on my handle, you can find a link to my website and see some past projects. All the best, marie-helene

I’m interested in this topic too. My neighbor is having all 14 windows replaced with Marvins (wood on the inside and primed and painted white) for $18,000\. Ouch.

I am in the same situation as I’m looking to replace as well, I ran into Okna windows and I got a demonstration of them and they seemed pretty good for the price. They are replacement windows, so you would use your existing frames

Try Loewen, a better quality then Marvin at a lesser price. I am with Heights Historic Window and Door and we are a supplier and installer, give us a call and ask for Jeff.

Crystal will be the best bang for the buck. You can call them and get estimate. Yes you will find better windows, but the construction of Crystal windows is pretty good. They are quick and based in Flushing, which also means your money stay in the city. I believe they can have someone come to measure the rough opening once you decide to go with them, and your windows should be ready in ten days (especially at this period of the year). I just bought ten of these windows, and would do it again.

We don’t love the Champions but 15 of them cost $12,000 installed (that included rebuilding four frames) vs. $30,000 for the Marvins. If I had my way, I’d have original windows with storms. They are the most energy efficient, beautiful, and green. Crystal costs slightly less than Champion but the frame looked bulkier to me. This is our second winter with the Champions and I’m wondering if there was something wrong with the install. We put up plastic for better insulation during this extremely cold weather and it’s billowing out, so we definitely have drafts coming through the windows. Anyone know?

@ transworld- Thanks for your reply. What made you untimely decide on the Crystal Windows? Does anyone else have any other suggestions?

Hi blauprint9. First of all congratulations on the house! I’m familiar w the property (IF is the one you posted the backyard picture, I’ve visited during open house): it is GORGEOUS! I’ve just purchased a property myself (not too far from there) and I’m going over the same process than you. I have already some recommendations and I’d love to know more about your process as well. Please hit me up at sambarocknyc AT gmail.com when you have some time.

We put in Anderson windows last year and are happy with them so far (through this cold winter). We have the “A” series in the front and 200 series in the back. Part of our bid was a slider, casement, and a large transom window so our decision to go with Anderson was, in part, because those priced the best too (other companies came in under for the windows, but much higher on the door and transom). All incidental, but my parents have half Anderson (A-Series) and half Marvins and like the Anderson better.

I have Crystal aluminum frame windows in the back of my house and they are very cold.

I am talking to Lowes for the front of the house. Has anyone had experience with them with a landmarks building?

I am with Heights Historic Window and Door in Brooklyn, we specialize in Landmark installations and i can refer you to homes in the area that we have done. I have been in the industry for quite some time and have worked for big outfitters and supply companies. Dealing with Lowes and chains of that nature, you will not get the proper product nor installation. They do not know how to do Landmark properties and they sell very low quality products. They may come in the cheapest but you get what you pay for in the long run.
