New Windows ???? HELP

[Chantz Ireland]

I bought a triplex last year and an currently renovating the units. The building really needs all new windows, its got old aluminum windows that sweat a lot (Water in the window seal) and it causes mold issues around the frame. I had a guy from "Window world" come out and quote the building, The quote came in at $8,500. I am wondering if I should bite the bullet and get all new windows or if there is an alternative route??

Any suggestions or ideas would be helpful

Thank you

I am in the process of replacing four windows in my rentals. Window world quoted me $2030 to replace them which was way too much in my opinion. What i am doing is ordering my own windows from a local building supplier that only works with landlords and flippers. I will then have a carpenter install it. I have a contact that installs windows in one of my partners flips so i have seen his work. 

Overall it will cost me about $700. I would see if you could do something similar in your location. It could save you half of what you quoted. Get some contacts from local flippers to see how they do it. I guarantee that they do not use retail providers such as window world.
