I called american craftsman and spoke to someone about window installation. They never heard of anderson narrowline windows. They said call anderson. I called anderson and homedepot, both said I can't replace my andersons and reuse the jamb liners. I decided to get storm windows. The simplest...

Does anyone know if I re-use the original side and top jams from the anderson doublehung when replacing with american craftsman? sorry for the double post.

Anderson Renewal windows are very expensive. I like the homedepot american craftsman replacements. Just wondering, since my current anderson double hung don't have window stops, just the vinyl jamb liners, what holds in the replacements? Do I reuse the jamb liners that are on there now?

I just heard about American Craftsman replacement windows from Anderson. They look simple to install, are economical and Homedepot sells them. I'll be checking them out.

I went to lowes yesterday and the window guy talked me out of storm windows. He said that the pella and/or united replacement windows they stock are a much better value. He said that storm windows over vinyl clad double pane andersons are asking for trouble. Really not much of a price difference...

I'm looking at Larson storm windows. Anyone have any experience with these?

I believe it's a 20 year warranty.

I have 12 anderson double hung narrowline windows. They are 25 years old. Some are really in bad shape, all leak. Thinking about anderson conversions, but thats really expensive. How well do the combination storm/screen windows work? What are my options as far as storm windows?

Virgin soil, shale, clay. I'm in N.E Pa.

I'll be putting in entry steps this springs. About a 6 foot rise over 50 feet. Really a walk way from my driveway to my front steps. Thinking about rectangular stone slabs or granite. What kind of footing or base do I need?
