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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
