FOR OFFICE USE ONLY: ACTION D Approved Approved with Conditions Denied Withdrawn Staff Approval  Respectfully Submitted, a  DATE  Signature A4-3    Members of the Historic Preservation Board and all other concerned parties,  My wife Jenna and lare seeking approval to replace the windows in our home located at 413 East Main St. Washington, NC. As many of you may already know we purchased this home out of foreclosure several months ago, in need of many repairs, and have been spending a considerable amount of time and money completing necessary renovations to make the home more livable and prevent further structural: and cosmetic degradation. We have spoken with a number of local and outside contractors in regard to the repair and/or replacement of the current windows in the home to gather information on the options available to us and the associated costs with repairing and/or replacing windows. In general the windows of the home are ine extremely poor condition, suffering from problems ranging from severe wood rot to broken panes. The majority of the windows have a large amount of paint-peeloccurring on the outside and inside alike, commonly attributed to lack of proper maintenance over prolonged periods of time. With the lack of paint, wood rot and general decay of the wood frames, tracking, and panel grills has occurred. Some windows, because of this, have lost basic structural integrity and cannot be used properly or at alli in some cases. Some of the windows have lost their panel grills in recent years; others were lost long prior and were repaired inadequately. Some of the windows have broken or fractured glass, given the condition of those windows, repairing this condition may not be viable without a complete rebuild oft the entire frame. The vast majority oft the windows have significant gapping on the top and bottom when "closed." Isay this with reservations due to the fact that most of the windows no longer completely close. The warped and damaged frames and tracking prevent the windows from closing completely and properly. The gaps in the windows range from %" in some places to closer to %" or better in other places. We investigated caulking or sealing the gaps but doing SO will render a situation where windows cannot be opened again without recaulking or sealing of some nature. We investigated storm windows, according to window contractors, storm windows will do very little to stop the conditioned air losses occurring for these windows given the nature of the problems associated with them. In addition storm windows will not reduce the temperature gradients int the house caused by radiation. Many of the windows in the home, like many historic homes are respectively large, as are many of the windows in our home. The amount of radiant heat coming in through the windows on the eastern side of the home iti is enough to produce a4-6 degree temperature difference to the western side of the house. Currently our HVAC units must run constantly to achieve and maintain temperatures at 78 degrees (even on relatively mild days), largely due to radiant heat and conditioned air losses from the windows. The home has been insulated, walls, floor, attic, it has fairly modern HVAC units that are appropriately sized, leaving the windows as the single culprit for the thermal inefficiencies of the home. We contacted the utilities providers for the home regarding the usage history and found that it was common for the home to have utility bills higher than $3001 for a single month's services. This is monetarily wasteful and environmentally unsound. In addition to the thermal losses virtually none of the windows can be locked, again, due to warping and tracking problems. At some point previous owners opted to use screws and/or nails to "lock" the windows. With many of the windows suffering from rot, the wood in the frames is simply broken and torn away where screws have been placed. This should show the general condition oft the windows and that virtually no security feature can be installed and expected to function properly. Some of the    windows in the home have been replaced previously, with the above conditions the likely reason for  such replacement.  After considering the facts of the situation we began considering the options of replacement windows, which we were hoping to avoid based simply on the cost. Older homes do not use "standard" windows therefore, it all must be custom made. We discussed vinyl windows initially. They were reasonable on cost, energy efficient, and according to contractors, relatively easy to install. The problems we found with the vinyl windows from multiple contractors were that the windows were typically installed from the inside of the home and they will reduce the window opening size. The interior framing and molding of the windows appears to be original, we do not want to risk damaging the intricate, ornamental designs of the molding, one of the few things in good condition when discussing the windows. The reduction of the window opening is not an option for us either, it is not aesthetically pleasing nor does it look period appropriate for the home. In addition, none of the vinyl window products we found could achieve a DP-50 wind rating, commonly required in buildings and  homes in coastal and high wind areas.  We discussed wood windows with contractors. Again some may have to be installed from the inside, but the greatest problem with the wood windows is simply the cost. Quotes received for wooden windows, whether newer style "thermo-pane" or less modern rebuilds of the current style of windows ranged for $25,000 up to nearly $40,000. This is simply cost prohibitive for us. To have the proper windows installed correctly (barring installation problems where additional costs would be incurred) at this expense would not allow us to continue renovating and restoring the home, it would absolutely drain our budget. Also the warranty and guarantee periods for these windows were very short, as proper maintenance is required and manufacturers and contractors cannot warranty: a window that has been neglected. No guarantees could be made regarding the DP/wind ratings of wooden  windows as well.  With this information, this brings us to our current option and our request to replace the current windows in the home with aluminum clad style windows. These windows are a product of Carolina Windows and Doors out of Greenville, NC. The windows are all custom made to fit the current openings. No modification will need to be made to the interior or exterior trim to install the windows. The strength benefits of the aluminum (frame) windows have many advantages when compared to the vinyl and wood options. Most importantly, they are installed from the exterior, unlike vinyl and some wooden windows and will not reduce the window opening as is common with most vinyl and some wood windows. This will maintain the period appropriate look we seek, the 6/6 panel configuration, and maintain the overall historic look of the home. The windows are double hung, 7/8" thick (double glass per pane, dual seal) insulated glass. The glass is not tinted as with some replacement windows and the frames can be enameled to the desired color. The window will achieve the DP-50 wind rating that we (as well as our insurance provider) desire. The frames are not subject to warping or "chalking" as other types of replacement windows and are generally maintenance free when compared to wooden windows. This will ensure that the windows willl be functional and have a pleasing appearance for many years to come. With the windows having thermo-pane" glass they will not "sweat" as do single pane glass windows which over time, causes wood rot of frames, tracks, grills, sills, etc. This will also greatly    reduce the thermal gradient we are experiencing currently in the home. They will improve the thermal efficiency of the home tremendously as well as reduce our energy costs and environmental impact. These windows will help to maintain and preserve the historic nature, value, and features of the home. Low-E glass blocks large amounts of UV rays which "sun bleach" wood and other materials such as floors, furniture, cabinetry, artwork, fabrics, etc. The design of the window is in contrast to the "modern look" of many common vinyl replacement windows. Carolina Windows and Doors has designed their product sO that it looks appropriate in older homes, and based on the material presented to us about their product we feel as though there is no other window on the market that can compare with the look of these windows, especially considering the benefits they add to the function of a home. Carolina Windows and Doors has been requested to install windows in many older and historical homes throughout eastern North Carolina which should be noted in consideration to our request. We were shown a number of older homes with these windows installed and were very impressed with how  original the appearance oft the home was.  Inc closing, we would like to note that we have worked very diligently in an attempt to find a replacement window product that will not only be functional and improve the thermal efficiency of the home but one that also does not detract from the historical appearance and features of the home and the district as a whole. We have done everything within our means to find a product that will adhere to the Historical District guidelines and not diminish our budget, as we move forward with restoring the rest of the home. Asa side note, upon approval of this request, we do intend to: salvage as much oft the existing windows as possible to be used in other restoration and renovation projects in and about the home. At the time of our submittal of this request we have not had an opportunity to speak with all of our neighbors in regard to this matter and for that we do apologize. We would like to thank the Planning Department and the Committee for taking the time to review our request.  Thanks and Sincerity, Chuck and.
