Replacing Street Side Windows in Historic District Apartment
« on: September 14, 2015, 06:09:38 PM »
I would be indebted if someone would provide information on the least expensive legal way to replace four street side windows in a Historic District apartment. I'm under the impression that new windows could cost $8,000-$10,000 due to the need to hire someone to submit an application with the Landmarks Commission.

If anyone has the name of application expeditors and companies that install replacement or new windows that meet the criteria, that would be helpful.

Finally,  how much might replacement windows cost in comparison to new ones?

Thanks so much.

Best,

Ben

Hi Ben,

I've used these guys for some projects in Brooklyn - http://historicalwindows.com/   They're a one stop shop, so they handle the landmark submission and window install.

I've not used this company, but is has been recommended in the past - http://heightshistoric.com/

Price will depend on what size you windows have and what is required to match it.  Both the above companies can get you a quote and will have a good sense of what window manufacturers will be acceptable to landmarks.

Artfl Dodger, Heights Historic told me they will only take a project if it has a minimum of seven windows. Would love to learn of other companies folks have used as I can tell Historical Windows is going to come in high on the quote.
