Tune-Up
Our Tune-Up service focuses on making windows operable by replacing broken sash cords, repairing glazing, and installing weather stripping. This on-site solution addresses minor issues like broken panes, ensuring windows function smoothly while maintaining their historical integrity. Priced per window, this cost-effective option extends the lifespan of existing windows without compromising aesthetics.
Full Restoration
Full Restoration involves removing window sashes for comprehensive repairs in our workshop. We strip old glazing, replace damaged components, and repaint both interior and exterior surfaces. This process restores windows to their original condition, enhancing energy efficiency and durability. Custom options include antique glass and traditional finishing techniques, ideal for preserving architectural heritage.
Custom Fabrication
Custom Fabrication creates bespoke windows tailored to unique architectural styles. Using traditional methods and period-accurate materials, we craft windows that match historical specifications. This service is ideal for replacing missing or severely damaged windows while maintaining the building's original character and structural integrity.
