Don't have a local source
BUT, back in Atlanta, I replaced the sashes in 9 of our windows using the
Jeld-Wen 'Zap-Pak'(IIRC). This kit includes the jamb liner for the sides and new sashes of your design...we went with low-e glass, argon gas, baked on exterior finish, wood trim interior. At the time, Lowe's wanted $180 per window to install(avg. cost for each sash was $200...different sizes...different costs). I'm somewhat handy and I got the removal/install time down to 20 minutes per. Bottom line...two grand for nine windows with my install. Saved roughly half vs having a 'pro' do it. You can order through the BORG, if they still handle
Jeld-Wen. It was the best replacement system available about three years ago, IMO. You just need a handy person...replace one or two at a time...no need to pull out 26 windows when it's 30 degrees outside!
Now, then(where IS Ross Perot any way?)...
IF you need to replace the
entire window, I'll put my hand down and let someone else answer!
BTW, it made a tremendous difference in our 50 year old house...tighter, quieter, easier to clean, more energy efficient--especially regarding heat gain from the sun. Good luck!
