and, what's reasonable? I was quoted $550 and thought that was quite high, but maybe I'm living in the past.

Your windows might have a 20 year warranty. Call The Villages warranty department. If covered, the windows will be free but there may be a labor charge.

If the frames are good and it is just the glass that needs to be replaced, try calling Lake glass and mirror, I believe they can make replacement glass panels

I would second Lake Glass and Mirror in Leesburg, 352-787-4700. Expect to pay about $10 per square foot for double pane glass, depending on the quality of glass you select.

I used RoMac since they were the original installer on my 12 yo home. They charge $50 to come out and get window information. Was under warranty but still cost around 200 for labor. They order the pane and install it into original frame. Satisfied with work and final product. Took a little over a month from start to finish. Good luck

BayKid, call the warranty department and ask who installed the windows when the house was built. Then, call them. windows fogging up is a sign of a new seal needed

We had 2 fogged windows replaced. They were under warranty.

I called TV home warranty and provided me with the manufacturer information for warranties. There, they provided me the contact information of a local guy who came over, measured and order the replacement glass. He later contacted me when the glass was available, came over and replaced them. He also pointed out a couple more that needed replacement. I let them to explain you the cost associated with the process. He replaced 11 panels for about $1,000.,,,, that was for labor.

I had 2 sets, 4 windows under warranty for for 5 years, RoMac ordered them, but I had to install them.

Not big job, the lower just pops in/out, the upper needs to be cut out with vibrating saw to get thru the caulking.
remove clean out re caulk.

took about a hour for each set.

Most want to change the whole window

Just called home warranty….

The warranty for the windows for the ORIGINAL owner is 10 years.

No warranty coverage for subsequent owners .

Call them right now to verify what I said . I will gladly apologize if I’m wrong .

Just don’t like to see misinformation posted ….

One more time, on my house the warranty on the windows is 20 years. This was stated by The Villages Warranty Department. The fellow from Romac who came out to order replacement windows (seal failed) confirmed the warranty is for 20 years. I don’t know about your house. In my original post, I said “might have a 20 year warranty” and advised the OP to call warranty to check. I am not the only one with a 20 year warranty, see post #14.

I don't accept a verbal statement from anyone about a warranty. Warranties are legal written documents, not verbal statements. I have read my new house warranty document from cover to cover. The only specific reference to the fogging of windows in on page 22 of the document, in which fogged windows are covered one year. However, there is another section in the document that states that the new house warranty does not limit any separate manufacturer's warranty. The real question is, who is the manufacturer of the windows and what does their written warranty say about the coverage for window fogging? Until we can get a copy of that warranty, no one really knows how long the fogging of windows is covered. The Villages warranty department has no authority to extend the new house warranty, unless they can cite the manufacturer's name and their written warranty.

The actual people doing the warranty work on my windows (Romac, they took over from the original vendor), confirmed, in person, 20 years. Will they change their mind? Perhaps but for now they are honoring the 20 year warranty. How do I know this? They are in the process of replacing 3 windows with failed seals.
