The problem: Windows that aren’t plumb, won’t lock properly, and have substantial air drafts. Which is a big issue in a house for sale that every potential buyer sees in the breakfast area.
The bid from a contractor? Over $3,000 for new windows.
The fix: I milled additional molding in my shop to inset in the window frame, thus creating a “new” upper threshold. Once fabricated and painted, the actual installation was about 2 & 1/2 hours.
The final costs? $435.55 instead of $3,200. Yes I can: Save you money, that is!
Once installed, these windows look like they have custom made molding designed uniquely for them. That’s because they do.
