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

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.
