Hi,

I've been 'shopping' around and reading up on windows. So far I've
found 2 places that would do windows in our building. Apparently our
building requires bronze aluminum frames (thermally broken OK). But
the two places that I found (Monda windows and West Side windows that
uses Crystal windows) don't meet my quality standards. The Monda
windows place (located in Flushing) has what i need (argon gas
windows), but when I came by to look at samples I wasn't too fond of
quality of windows. The second place (west side) does argon filled
windows, but they admit that argon will sip out in 4-5 years.
I live in a studio, and have AC/heater unit (no central heat), and my
electrical bills run as high as $300 in the winter, so I am interested
in getting quality windows.

2 quotes I got so far are 1800$ and $2200 for a 73x65 window and 72x95
sliding door.

I want to know if I have any other options in queens (there has to
be)!

Try Anderson or Pella window companies. I have used both and was pleased
They are not cheap by any means and you might have to hire the installation
yourself

Andersons condense less than pella, check consumer reports ratings. And
get a good warranty. Anderson has very clear glass, glass treatments are
not equal. I have both. Also gas heat would cut your bill 50 %

Might try Caradco brand windows as well as Pella or Andersen.
FWIW, I used to live in Flushing (Main Street) but a long time ago.
