Repair vs Restoration

Repairs are just one piece of a restoration process. Typical repairs target a problem area like broken glass, rusted hardware, failed glazing, or replacing damaged or degraded sections of wood sash. Our restoration process is more of a holistic approach that repairs functionality while also focusing on restoring the aesthetics and historical identity of the original window or door.

FAQS

Do you work with historic commercial buildings or landmarks?

Yes, we are specialists in restoring windows for historic and landmark buildings — our work is fully compliant with historic preservation standards at both the state and national level. Check out some of our previous commercial and landmark restoration work here.

What’s involved in restoring wood windows in large-scale commercial projects?

Every project begins with an on-site assessment that helps us create a detailed plan for cataloging and restoring. All original materials and features are preserved wherever possible, and our skilled craftsmen create replacement parts and frames utilizing era-accurate techniques to create a perfect match.

Professional reinstallation involves matching all hardware and windows back to their original locations in the building to ensure a perfect fit. It’s a detailed process, but it yields impressive results that help preserve your investment for decades to come.

Are your restoration methods compliant with historic preservation guidelines?

How long does a typical commercial window restoration project take?

Can you repair or replicate custom wood window parts for older buildings?

How much does it cost to repair historic windows?

ust as each historic building has its own unique features, the cost to repair historic windows depends on factors like size, condition, and quantity. Restoration is typically more cost-effective than a full replacement and it’s more eco-friendly to utilize the high-quality framework that has lasted for generations thus far to get you into the next century — contact us for a detailed quote for your project.

Is window restoration worth it?

Can a general contractor do windows?

Most general contractors lack the specialty skills and materials required for historic wood window restoration. We join the team alongside general contractors or work directly with the building owner to make sure your windows maintain historical preservation compliance and functionality for years to come. We often partner with general contractors or accept roles as a subcontractor under the GC of record to make certain that restoration projects are expertly executed.
