Repair vs Restoration

Repairs are just one piece of a restoration process. A window sash repair might just target the functionality of the window sash. To tackle both the aesthetic and functional preservation of your window, choose restoration. A more holistic approach, restoration repairs functionality while also focusing on restoring the aesthetics and historical significance of the original window.

25+ Years of Happy Customers

“They did an absolutely AMAZING job on our 80 year old bay windows and front door, far exceeding our expectations. Hunter and Caleb were prompt, meticulous, perfectly professional and very helpful. They both clearly take great joy in their work The level of craftsmanship on display is exemplary. We will be using them again (there is always more to be done in an old house…) and recommend them with the highest level of confidence. Chose Chosen and it will get done right.”

Scott Poehlmann

“Our lovely home in the Magnolia neighborhood of Seattle was built in 1926. It was important to us that we could find craftspeople capable of restoring, not just replacing, our beautiful leaded glass windows, their frames and sashes. Unlike other companies who send estimators who do not actually do the work, Will discussed the specific details of our job and how he and the window restorers would proceed.  I thought the pricing of the quote was quite fair.

The windows were removed and sent to Portland to be restored. When they returned we were amazed at how nice they looked. I recommend Chosen Wood Window Maintenance to my friends and neighbors and will use them again on any future projects.  Nice work team!” 

Allen Goldstein

“Chosen Wood Windows is an unbelievable resource.  They really are wood window experts. It’s been great working with them and learning about all of the resources they have available. I like that wood windows can be restored – it’s a sustainable and smart way to take something old and make it new again. And they can make windows more energy efficient than the originals. Their capabilities are impressive.” 

Kim Pendarvis

“I couldn’t be happier with the work that was performed. We had one window with a broken glass pane that they replaced, one with two broken cords that now functions perfectly and one that rattled when the wind blew that is now weatherproof. The crew was wonderful. They arrived on time and got right to work. They were efficient and left absolutely no mess. They were so polite, professional and kind. I will not hesitate to use them again when we can have our other windows taken care of.”

Why Ignoring Wood Window Sash Issues Is Not the Answer

  • Window sashes control the functionality of a window, and if they’re stuck in a bad position, they can let water, pests, and other problems into your home.
  • Damaged or broken sashes can impact your home’s energy efficiency, air quality, and your health.
  • In most cases, the most affordable option is to work with Chosen to replace the window sash instead of a full window replacement.
  • Replacement windows often sit within the existing frame and reduce the glass area. Preserving your wood windows can also preserve your view.
The Chosen Solution

Repair or Replacement from the Wood Window Experts

To determine if your wood windows can be repaired, professionals will first assess the state of each window frame. If the main frame is in good condition, you likely only need a sash repair or replacement to bring old windows back to full function.

Bring Your Wood Windows Back to Life

Our team of experts will walk through our process with you from start to finish. Each project timeline is as unique as the windows themselves — depending on your replacement window sashes, we’ll guide you through options for panes, upgrades for your home’s energy efficiency, and more. Our team has  more than 30 years of wood window experience, so you can trust your windows are in good hands.

See the Difference

Unlike competitors who charge you to replace the entire window, we know the value of older wood windows and the quality of craftsmanship used to create them. Our philosophy is to reuse what is good and replace only what is necessary.

    FAQS

    What does a window sash replacement cost?

    Wood window sash replacement is a cost-effective alternative to new windows. The cost of each project varies based on factors like sash type (lower sash, upper sash), window style (single hung, double hung), and other factors like the complexity of glass panes, weatherproofing and more.

    Expect additional costs if you have stained glass or leaded panes that need additional attention. If your home requires shipping windows, that will impact cost as well. Our team is happy to provide a custom quote for your new window sash. Contact us today to get started.
