People with traditional wood windows know how special their windows are, but sometimes these windows need a little (or a lot of) TLC to perform as they should. We provide complete restoration services including hardware and sash cord replacement, re-glazing with a variety of glass options, mechanical adjustments, high-quality painting and refinishing and complete rebuilding of double-hung, sliding, awning, fixed and casement windows. We can replace vintage single-strength glass with double-strength glass, tempered glass, authentic salvaged glass in limited quantities when available, and more.
