OUR APPROACH
Preservation-first wood window restoration that lasts.
Forever Hung Windows grew out of a simple belief: original wood windows are worth saving. We started by repairing the windows homeowners were told to replace—bringing stuck sashes back to life, restoring profiles, and protecting historic character.
Today we partner with homeowners, preservation groups, architects, and contractors on projects big and small. From careful assessments to on-site repairs, weatherstripping, and full sash restoration, we deliver clear communication and craftsmanship you can see—and feel.
FAQS & DETAILS
Common questions about window restoration
Do you restore windows, or do they need to be replaced?
In most historic homes, original wood windows can be repaired and restored. We’ll assess the sash, frame, glazing, and hardware, then recommend the most preservation-minded option—repair where possible, replacement only when a window is truly beyond saving.
What services are included in a typical restoration?
Scope varies by window, but often includes sash repair, epoxy consolidation where needed, reglazing, cord/chain and pulley work, weatherstripping, hardware tuning, and smooth operation. We focus on durability, airtightness, and keeping original materials intact.
Will restored wood windows be more energy efficient?
Yes. When properly repaired and weatherstripped, wood windows can perform dramatically better—especially for drafts and comfort. Pairing restoration with quality storm windows can further improve efficiency while preserving the historic look of your home.
Can you fix painted-shut or stuck windows?
Absolutely. Painted-shut sashes are common in older homes. We carefully free the sash, address binding points, repair worn components, and get the window operating correctly again—without damaging original profiles or trim whenever possible.
How long does a window restoration project take?
Timelines depend on the number of windows and their condition. After an initial assessment, we’ll outline a realistic schedule and workflow. Many clients start with a few priority windows first, then complete the rest in phases.
How do we get an estimate for our windows?
Reach out through our contact form with a brief description and a few photos if you have them. We’ll follow up to schedule an assessment, talk through priorities, and provide a clear scope and estimate based on the work your windows actually need.
