In nearly every case, our team can restore original wood windows and doors—even those in poor condition. Homeowners are often surprised by what’s salvageable with the right tools and craftsmanship. While some projects may benefit more from a high-quality reproduction (for reasons of longevity or symmetry), restoration is often the preferred and more sustainable choice.

Can You Match Original Wavy Glass for Historic Windows?

We take historic accuracy seriously. Our shop maintains an extensive inventory of salvaged glass to match the unique color, texture, and waviness of your original window panes.
For extra-large panes or rare profiles, we work with top-tier manufacturers who produce reproduction cylinder and crown glass that closely mimics the original.
Authenticity, preserved.

Why Restore Original Windows Instead of Replacing Them?

Because well-built windows are meant to last centuries—not decades.
We regularly restore 100–150-year-old windows and doors that still function beautifully. By contrast, most modern windows—often made with finger-jointed softwood and sealed, non-repairable units—are designed to last only 15–25 years before failing. Worse, many are impossible to repair and end up in landfills.
Traditional wood windows were built for maintenance and longevity. They can be re-glazed, refinished, and restored time and again, offering not just beauty but sustainability.
Restoring historic wood windows is an investment in your home's character, performance, and value.
