Re: New wood trim (interior) bordering new fiberglass windows
Thank you to all who took the time to reply to me. I much appreciate your expertise and opinions. One local contractor friend advised/reiterated that this is what one does in replacements, to cover paint line and any drywall damages from removal of previous trim. Otherwise, the contract price would ...

Re: New wood trim (interior) bordering new fiberglass windows
Do any think this oversized width new trim looks unusual or esthetically displeasing at about 3 inches wide? Also, the stain on this pine does not really match up to all woodtrim in the home; it is lighter.

Re: New wood trim (interior) bordering new fiberglass windows
This trim is 2&7/8 inches, up from preexisting 2&1/4 inch, per contractor...the trim is so wide, it looks like the covebase one puts on wall/floor junctions. These no longer match natural wood door trims and closest trims. We were told they would cover paint lines, not damaged drywalls cause...

Re: New wood trim (interior) bordering new fiberglass windows
We asked the precise measuring, stain-matching person who took two pieces of existing trim to match the new pine wood couple months ago, if everything was going to match, to which he replied yes...He came to the house twice, once to precisely measure the order, and secondly to obtain sample old trim...

New wood trim (interior) bordering new fiberglass windows
Hi all... Need your advice....had full, new fiberglass casement replacement install (full tear-out) on 50-year-old original windows. We were told they would extend some to cover the old paint lines (we observed how much damage is caused by ripping out original wood trim). Nothing specific beyond tho...

Re: Need Advice on best Window Replacement Companies
I made some errors in my original post. The WW quote is around $7,200. The windows sold by independent business are Infinity from Marvin ultrex fiberglass windows at $17,300 (the labor portion of that is around $8,500. We are paralyzed with indecision, with the only definitive being that these old o...

Re: Need Advice on best Window Replacement Companies
Thank you so much for your very informative post. What is another high-end unit that you can recommend for us to compare to the estimate we have for Restorations casements (plus two awnings for back of house)? Also, what are your thoughts on fiberglass or fiberglass-reinforced casements versus vinyl...

Re: Need Advice on best Window Replacement Companies
The Restorations is a nice unit and Sunrise's casement is really nice, but I am not sure it is that nice. Have you checked with friends and neighbors who have had windows done? Thanks for replying...yes, we have asked friends and family. We were given those company names mentioned in my original po...

Need Advice on best Window Replacement Companies
Hi...writing to ask for advice on who best to contract with in New York State, for replacement windows (preferably casement, as these are currently original wood casement windows that need replacing).
