Hey all,
Putting together a proposal to swap out some 15 year old vinyl replacement windows with new aluminum or vinyl clad wood windows, probably Pellas. Theres a whole bunch, first phase is 50 windows, followed by about another hundred in 2 stages. The existing windows are vinyl tilt units in a wood frame in a masonry building. The trim inside is oak with oak stops, probably in good shape as the building is only 50 years old and seems to be in decent shape. The outside of the windows are wrapped with aluminum which is probably sealed to the outside of the replacement frame. Im guessing that if I allow 4 labor hours for each window, undo jam stops, unscrew window, scrape sealant, clean up RO, pop in new one and reseal and insulate jambs, does that sound about right? Im thinking 2 guys per window for 2 hours including loading the new in and junking the old one. Its a 4 story dorm type building, its actually a monastery of all things. I try to go conservative with labor, as to not get burned. Ive replaced tons of windows before, but not this many at once. Thanks in advance,
Blair
