Recs for window replacement?

Any recs for a good, reliable, but not high-end company for replacing our windows? Don’t need wood, don’t need landmark, just looking for basic reliable vinyl, competently installed. We talked to Windows Are We (or Windows We Are, or whatever), not terribly impressed. Any other recs? Looking to have this done in the next few weeks. Thanks!

Well I can suggest you a better source…they may not be in Brooklyn but can surely advice you something- The Modern Glass Designs at www.modernglassdesigns.com.

Bay Ridge windows is supposed to be good. I’ve spoke to them several times and about to use them on window replacement this week (just one window though).

I also used LWP Windows just this summer.  They installed two very tall windows in the rear parlor floor, and the workers did a great job, they were very neat, and they cleaned up after themselves completely when they were finished.  We’ve also ordered Hunter Douglas wood blinds from them, and the blinds should be ready for installation soon.  We found them to be professional without a hard-sell approach.  I’m going to use them again later in the fall or next spring to replace two rear windows on the third floor.  I would feel very comfortable recommending LWP to others.

Lucky Window Products has done well for me.  They’ve done 3/4 of my windows thus far, and have done a great job.  I’ve also had no problem getting them out to come and repair the one window that I discovered had a bent piece a month after it was installed.  http://lwphomepro.com

I got estimates for similar work from 5 companies & 2 free lance & ended up w/ Home Depot.  Phone Tarna Mahadeo – 718 607 9633 or At-Home Services 631 478 6101\.  They installed 11 for me: prices were comparable to cheapest & work was excellent.  They kept to schedule, too.  Tell them Kathleen from 11th St. recommended you.
