Had to change 100 year old 9 windows.....historic society came down on building, everyone changed to some new window version but they nailed that building......... cost on 3 bids 10 years ago all near 80K, had expensive wood moldings and 4 curved glass windows. Had to get architect to draw up plans the way they did in 1890 and match same color. Also had stained oak molding inside each apt which would have to be removed and reinstalled at added cost.
Did not want to do it as new windows would be heavy and hard to handle and add no value to building.
Luck had it there was a construction convention of wholesalers in this convention center and one company came from GA. They convinced me they could and would do it perfect for 36K. My contractor did the installation for about 3k, so was only 1/2 pissed off. Had terrible times with the windows as the springs were too weak for the load and I never went to a gee wiz high end outfit to put in more $K's to customize a better hardware solution.
