Historic districts in DC really only apply to preservation of the facade as visable from the sidewalk. That's not much.

Most people have no problem working around that and doing pretty much what they want. It just takes a little cleverness.

(In large multi-unit and commercial building renovations even that facade rule is eased to increase height).

I'm grandfathered in with vinyls but if I had to replace my front windows with different ones at some point I wouldn't consider that a disaster and I would insist on the most energy efficient.
