Balances

Quick Learner from Mastic Beach, NY, 11951
Hi,
Please see attached. Do you know which sash balance I'll need for this window?

Also, can you recommend anyone or local company to help with the replacement? Also what is an estimate for the replacement (labor only)
Thanks!

I'm afraid the marking on the glass is not enough for us to make a recommendation. There is only one way to identify the proper balance replacement and that is to read a particular stamp printed on the balance box itself; the stamp in question is printed in a different style and location depending on how it was made so we will need a clear photo of each such stamp. That will allow us to pick out the right one and make our recommendation.

This does unfortunately require partial disassembly of the frame. I know that's probably more work than you wanted to put into this without having a replacement on hand, but it is necessary. The video below will show you how we do it. 

I don't have any contacts in your area, unfortunately. We're only located in South Jersey. However I'm sure a local hardware store would be happy to point you to someone who can help.
