Replacement Windows For Aluminum Windows

GGrant

Patrick, I am going to estimate on a rancher BRICK REPLACEMENT, 7 aluminum windows, replacing with vinyl, need to know going rate per window, 3 jointed in one opening and two jointed in two openings, for customer that is living in the home. Live in Texas!

neolitic

I'd quote about $50 per window.
Unless they don't want the
premium ones.

You'll do better if you don't waste
so much time on research.
Increase your profit margin that way.

Patrick, GGrant here is after you again. This time he is looking for a "professional" opinion. Got a brick rancher in Texas to deal with, and get this: the customer is living in the home!
Give him the lowdown would you?
Thanks
Dave C

Brick rancher? Since when do they herd masonry materials? I always did wonder where bricks came from

boy this is too funny-Ggrant is everywhere...and he blames his wife for typing errors. That's ok, the flashing on a door was messed up, water leaked down the basement wall onto the electrical panel and burned the house down...but my wife messed up the flashing

Back to my original question in this post, believe it or not, my suppliers don't have a window for replacement in aluminum frames. I even spoke to the regional Simonton rep who was strolling through and he thought it might be an option but wasn't sure at that! I ended up quoting out a new construction window with built in 'J'-a nice little touch would make the dated siding job look nice.

Interesting tidbit, the Simonton rep said they will be having a new construction window out (either all ready or coming out soon) that has built in 3.5" lineals as an option for about $50 more-sounds like a bargin compared to messing w/ the 20' lineals. Anyone sold/used these windows yet?

Usually with a flush fin you would measure the inside window opening minus 1/4 inch on the net width and height. You would also remove the aluminum frame before installing the new window. The new window will slide into the opening and the flush fin will cover the edges of the siding. Most all major window manufacturers make a flush fin.

On window frames that can not be extracted such as some steel framed windows a flush fin usually works the same way as above except you take a net measurement off the inside of the steel window frame and qt round trim the inside opening.
