Storm windows

[jwill]

I own a 100 year old home with double-hung, single-pane windows that are in very good shape. Unfortuantely, the storm windows are a disaster. I wish to have someone replace the storm windows. I just contacted the Borg to get a quote to give me some idea of the pricing.

Can you give me some guidance on buying new storm windows?

Can you recommend any brands?

Are double-hung, double-pane, storm-windows available?

Are there any installation details I should insist on? (i.e. a bead of caulk under the storms?)

Thanks for your thoughts...

you can get stand alone storm windows that just screw on to the window trim from outside for about 40-80 each depending on size. yes you need a bead of caulk under them & they should be installed on warm enough day for the caulk to seal properly go to home depot or menards or lowes & speak so someone there. or pay a contractor 35/ hr to do it
