We live in central Florida. We want to tint the windows in our glass Florida room. We have vertical blinds but want to cool the room down more. the room faces west. Has anyone had problems tinting double pane insulated windows? Have read they separate and can break due tot he tinting. Thanks for any info

I’m looking to make my home more energy efficient. I have vinyl double pane windows that are about 20 years old. Do I need new ones? I only have 8 windows for the whole house and 4 won’t open, but does that alone mean I need new ones? Are there companies that check for home efficiency?

The window in the doctors office is a doubled pane window and it has a blind in it with dust on it. Now tell me how does the dust get in there if the window is a double pane window and is sealed shut?

I have to replace 26 windows in a 66 year old house. These are old wood windows that have NEVER been replaced. I’m looking at a double pane, double hung, Shuco windows w/ a 25 year warranty. I recently got an estimate for $14,100 total (including windows, installation, removal of old windows, taxes, etc). In addition, they will replace my front door and install it at no additional cost. I’m in the DC area and while I have gotten other quotes from other vendors, I was wondering if this particular merchant was offering me a good deal.

We just got a quote to put new windows on our house. Our current windows are ‘construction grade’ single pane windows (the house is 25 years old). The new windows will be double pane, low-e, argon filled window units. Doing the whole house will cost almost $9000.

Will be see enough difference in the utility bills to recoup the cost? They promise a %35 decrease, but that would take 8-10 years. Will we feel a difference in the comfort level in the house? Will it increase the value of our house?

I’m buying windows from a friend at work and don’t really have an idea what i should pay for them. most of them are about 98″ x 35″ . Like i said they are double pane argon gas filled, vinyl windows.

I bought a condo in San Diego 3 years ago, I’ve done minor things to increase the value fans and the like (not too much thought because I bought the place fully upgraded). Minus the window and slider…

The window is around 20 years old, single pane, with metal frame, its about 2′ x 3′.

1) what do I need to take with me in order to get an accurate cost estimate from home depot or lowes? I want upper middle of the line, not the best not the crap, but maybe a little nicer than the middle.

2) There is Berber carpet in the living room and bedroom, I want to replace the living room with hard wood because there is no AC and I think it would keep it cooler (I live 2 minutes from La Jolla Shores so if you know area you know you only need air 3 weeks a year) But is this a good idea?

I live in a really nice area and want to keep my place competitive for the future sale, probably 2 years away; is there anything else I should be looking into for added value? I want to do the window now, then the slider in the spring…but I’m basically flexible, its already got granite, stainless steel appliances, and tavertine,

With installation, I’m a female college math professor/single mom…If that gives you any sense…nevertheless I’ll pay someone to do it

COblonde asked:


Not sure how it happened, maybe a result of the neighbor upstairs doing something or possibly faulty building structure which is actually ocurring with some buindings in my complex. My HOA insurance covers only the outer structures, walls. I have renters insurance for personal items so would this be covered under my mortgage insurance? HOA says not covered by their insurance??
