1.00Is it possible and/or advisable to leave old storm windows over new replacement windows?
Q.I have old triple groove aluminum storms screwed in place over very old wood double hung windows.Can I just leave them in place for added protection and install replacement windows. The storms are in good shape.
A.The problem is, your new windows are a little bit smaller. You won't be able to remove the storm windows for cleaning.
1.00What do I need to know about buying replacement windows?
Q.Share your knowledge, tips, advice, cautions, etc. about replacement windows. I have a 3 bedroom ranch and am considering a window company to do it. What kind of windows should I get? Vinyl? Double pane? I know nothing HELP ME!
A.Get the aluminum (painted or anodized finish), double pane glass (for energy savings), and have them supply the screens with the windows. You will probably get a better deal if you have them do the whole house. You may have to replace the basic framing at the same time that you replace the windows - I would ask the window dealer about a reputable installer (they usually have some on file). Changing to the right windows will give you lower power bills and make your life easier in cleaning and operating the windows. Good luck with your project.

1.00Should I choose vinyl or non-vinyl replacement windows?
Q.I need advice on whether to buy vinyl replacement windows for my home. I am finding mixed information on the Web. I know that vinyl windows can be very energy efficient, but I am concerned about dioxin and other toxins linked to vinyl. I just got an estimate today, and the non-vinyl windows (fiberglass) are nearly twice as expensive as the vinyl ones. Can you help me decide?
A.We had vinyl put in when we replaced our old aluminum windows.
For the first few years they were fine but after six years or so they started to look bad and some splits developed.
Our lifetime warranty is useless because the company is out of business.
As a result I am looking for an alternative to vinyl to replace these with.

1.00How to you paint aluminum rain gutters & downspout?
Q.I have had some gutters and a downspout replaced. The new ones are glossy white and made of aluminum. What do I use to paint them with the same latex house paint I used for my house exterior. Specifically, do I need some kind of undercoat or primer prior to the finish coat?
A.The white paint that is on aluminum gutters is baked on at the factory.
Aluminum gutters don't rust (where did that guy go to school?)
You will need to prime them to get your house paint to adhere to the gutters. If you just paint over them the paint will peel within a year. You have to use a special primer made to paint aluminum. It ain't cheap!
Why don't you just leave them white and save yourself a lot of work?
