Replacing fixed 3.0 x 6.0 Windows

11 years ago

We have three fixed 3.0 X 6.0 double pane windows on the south wall of the living room. After 15 years the seal on one has been compromised and it has condensation that appears between the panes under certain conditions. We're looking to correct this. No need to go to a high end window company, correct? Shouldn't a competent carpenter be able to do this for us?

Thoughts?

I would contact a local glass company that replaces "failed Insulated glass units". Look for this in either their Yellow Page or on line ad. Carpenters don't usually do this type of work but doesn't mean that one can't.

Ouch! Got an estimate from PELLA the other day to do this. It came to just under $1,000 per fixed glass window. Did I say Ouch!? Got the local glass guys coming tomorrow to give an estimate.

I would venture a guess that the local glass shop would be about $7-$750 each. Not surprised at that number from Pella but I would be leery about letting them fix them if it were dam near free.

The local guy's estimate was half of Pella's. Pella was going to use 3 pane glass though instead of 2. I'm not sure that theincreased insulation value of the 3 over the 2 merits that much additional investment.
