Re: Full Frame Window Replacement from Interior Only?

Chris, we used to have contact buttons on here but they seem to be gone... If you google "the window nerd" you'll find the right guy. Wayne and his team are very good at what they do, you would be in good hands if that works out. Thanks, man. I was able to get in touch with Wayne via the ...

Re: Full Frame Window Replacement from Interior Only?

At times 50% of our volume is full frame replacement. I would be willing to do this job for you. theWindowNerd Sorry, I just noticed this part. Are you sure you'd be willing to travel this far? We're up in Bergen County not far from the George Washington Bridge. If so, can you send me a private mes...

Re: Full Frame Window Replacement from Interior Only?

Just looked at some of the photos. Those windows are not that old as they have HP glass. Do not use RBA, just my opinion. The stucco looks like it has been well sealed with elastomeric paint. The expansion joints show need of attention. How bout where the window frame is caulked to the exterior? Th...

Re: Full Frame Window Replacement from Interior Only?

At times 50% of our volume is full frame replacement. I would be willing to do this job for you. One of my concerns is the wind load on windows above the third floor, you need to make sure that the units select have the design pressure rating needed to meet code. I too doubt that the leaking is fro...

Re: Full Frame Window Replacement from Interior Only?

Just curious, do all of the condos have the same age/type of windows? Does anyone else have leaks? Have you talked to your neighbors? If every one needs windows or if many have leaks it might be time for the whole complex to be done, perhaps with special assessments to cover the cost. It may be che...

Re: Full Frame Window Replacement from Interior Only?

Chris, I rarely ever recommend anything like this as it is really a last resort, but you may consider getting your homeowner's insurance involved. Then your insurance and that of the Condo assoc can hash things out in terms of who/what is really to blame, which will likely require some in depth and...

Re: Full Frame Window Replacement from Interior Only?

One of the things complicating this is the fact that the windows downstairs, where the damage is worst, are directly below the upstairs windows, making it easy for them to claim the upstairs windows are letting water in and it's traveling down between the walls and destroying the windows downstairs....

Re: Full Frame Window Replacement from Interior Only?

Hey man, Thanks for responding. I did not take any photos over the weekend, but I found a few more that might be useful. When you say sill, you mean the interior wooden window sill? There should be at least a couple where that is visible in the photos I uploaded. I managed to find a few more that sh...

Re: Full Frame Window Replacement from Interior Only?

Last set. Small holes in caulking directly below the living room or bedroom window (can't remember which):
