Our 14 year old house is in dire need of window replacement. In probably half of the windows, the seal between the two panes of glass has ruptured, allowing water to seep in from the outside and make its way inside. These are cheap Ryan Homes single-hung windows.
Has anyone done a full house window replacement and if so what was your experience/cost? is it possible to just replace the upper/lower halves of the window without ripping apart walls/removing siding to replace the entire frame? We're looking at replacing 21 windows, plus four windows with transoms. We've already replaced a large paladin window and a front door due to leakage/water damage.
I'm also looking for suggestions for window companies. I have a local guy who uses Alside that i'll probably end up using as his prices are very reasonable and he's done quality work for us in the past. But i'm interested in any feedback on the guys who are all over the radio - window nation, thompson creek, etc.
