Question: I have wooden windows with metal sliders from the mid-1940s that need to be restored in a way that complies with the Department of Interiors rules for historic preservations. My goals are to get the windows to glide smoothly on the metal sliders, to plug the holes on the interior of the frames where the security bolts were installed, to reglaze if needed, to replace the existing triple-track storm windows, and to replace the single center lock with two side locks. I found two contractors who claim to renovate windows and provide quotes, but after I showed them pictures, they stopped responding to my inquiries. Do you have any suggestions?

Answer: One problem you face is that your windows are examples of early attempts by manufacturers to move beyond the tried-and-true design for double-hung windows, in which weights tied to ropes provided the counterbalance needed to keep the window sash raised or lowered. Three historic-window restoration experts took a look at the pictures you sent, and no one was eager for the job.

A spokesman for the Craftsmen Group in Washington (202-332-3700; http://www.thecrafts-mengroup.com) said your windows arent old enough for the work the company does. Neil Mozer at Mozer Works in Takoma Park (301-920-1900; mozerworks@gmail.com) suggested you have someone evaluate your windows in person and make a recommendation about replacing them with historically appropriate windows made in a design that wont continue to cause problems. The third said he would do the work but doesnt relish it. And the price estimates he gave are high enough to justify at least pricing out new windows before you try to fix the existing ones.

The estimate came from David Gibney, owner of Fine Restoration Artisans & Craftsman for Your Historic Structures in Smithsburg, Md. (301-824-2800; d.gibney@myactv.net). He said he suspects your windows are moving on aluminum sliders. When hes confronted these before, hes had to replace them. He found replacement parts at Blaine Window and Hardware in Hagerstown, Md. (800-678-1919; http://www.blainewindow.com).

Sure enough, Blaine Window does carry a variety of metal window tracks, as well as thousands of other window parts. But, depending on the dimensions of what you need, you may discover that the parts are almost unbelievably expensive. Aluminum track 26 inches long, Part 02908-26-040, is listed on the companys Web site at $187.90 per piece. Thats not a typo, a company spokeswoman said; the companys shop has to custom-make it. When metal track is still available from manufacturers, the cost is much less, sometimes around $20, so youd need to know the specific lengths and style to get an accurate price.

Gibney cautioned that his crew would have quite a drive for a job in Arlington. He would charge $100 to go to your house and give an assessment and estimate; this cost would be subtracted from his fee if you go ahead with the job. Depending on how many windows there are, you might need to pay for motel rooms for the crew. Gibney estimated it might cost $150 per window to install new metal track (plus the cost of the track). Replacing the glazing might come to $100 per sash if it all needs to be replaced or $40 per hour for small patches. Plugging the holes in the wood and installing new security locks might cost $50 per sash.

And there would be the cost of new storm windows. Mozer estimated quality storm windows at a cost of $350 to $450 each. Installation could run $75 to $100.

Question: I have a townhouse and want to put wood flooring in my bedroom. I would like a light-color wood so it can reflect light, since my bedroom faces north. Should I get maple or a lighter pine? Wide strips or thin ones? Do the strips need to run in a certain direction dictated by the floor under the current carpet? And how should I protect the new flooring from the feet of my heavy oak Amish bedroom furniture?
