In homes built in the early 1900’s, original windows often feature unique materials like hand blown glass and old-growth wood, materials that don’t come around often these days, and are difficult or impossible to replicate. Restoring your original windows back to their original functionality helps maintain the historical integrity and charm of your home.

Restoration of your home’s original windows is more environmentally friendly than replacing. No landfill waste, no energy used in manufacturing new units, and fewer raw materials consumed. Combined with proper weatherstripping and storm windows, restored original windows can be energy efficient without being an eyesore.

The original windows in your 1900’s home were built to last; they’re already 100+ years old and have done their job well. Modern replacements, comparatively, have a short lifecycle. Old-growth wood, in particular, is denser and more rot-resistant than today’s new lumber. And you cant beat the look and charm of wavy, seedy, hand blown glass.
