need help deciding glass replacement vs unit replacement

16 years ago

Our home has 24 year old Milgard windows. Unfortunately, they are fogging up, and were also installed before Milgard's lifetime warranty. We're trying to figure out if it is better to just replace the glass and not hassle with the entire unit, or upgrade. One reason I'm hesitate to tear everything out is that these are aluminum bronze frames, and they "look" right for the style and color of the house. If we get vinyl, everything will have to change. Has anyone made a decision one way or another and then wished they had done it the other way? And are there any residual problems that cropped up? I'm thinking needing to redo window sills (ours are ceramic), blinds that don't fit anymore (HD Silhoutte), etc. It seems like one "little" project always leads to many, many more just to get the first project right. Thanks a lot.
