Window Restoration

Full Restoration

• Window sash are removed from their opening (all work is done from the inside) and taken to our workshop. While your windows are out, your storm windows are protecting your house from the elements. If you don’t have storm windows, we have other options.

• We strip all glazing from the window, remove the glass panes, and then strip the remaining paint.

• The sash are checked for any rot or weakness. We strengthen the joints, and replace any severely rotted pieces.

• The reassembly process then begins by re-setting the glass, replacing any broken panes with new or antique glass as the customer requests, then priming and painting both the interior and the exterior of the sash.

• We reinstall the sash, replacing any broken or weak sash cords with cord or chain, install weather stripping, replace sash locks or other mechanisms, and so restore the window to fully operational condition.

Mechanical Restoration

If your windows look good but don’t work well or seem drafty, you may need a mechanical restoration. We will come to your property, free painted-shut windows, correct the balance system, replace sash cord or chain, replace broken hardware. We can add bronze and silicone bulb weather stripping to all sides of each to keep the weather out.
