New Windows project Aug 31, 2021

I wanted to hear anyone’s experience on getting windows installed in your whole co-op.

It’s not very organized in my co-op and we keep on getting different emails from the board as to when it’s going to start and how. I know covid is a part of it but one minute we’re told the window company is going to get this done and very experienced and then we got an email that they will install some windows and then wait 4 weeks to get more windows installed. This is going to take 6 months at this rate. Oh this is the second window company they’re using. Supposedly they had an issue with the first one and had to start from scratch….specs, etc and we actually lost 25K since we needed to pay them for the initial work.

We finally got some sort of start date but since they didn’t get the permit yet for the sidewalk bridge they’re going to work around that and install windows in apartments that aren’t near sidewalks. What are you thoughts on that? Should we proceed or wait to be safe?
