Wood Window Restoration

full Restor

If you want your windows completely restored, we recommend the Full Restor. Below is a complete break down of the steps we take during the Full Restor process:

  • Remove the sashes from the frame and take back to the shop
  • Remove glazing and glass utilizing custom steam boxes (can result in loss of up to 20% of glass which must be replaced)
  • Remove all paint back to the original wood
  • Gently sand with our commercial grade orbital sanders
  • Reinstall glass and glaze with Sarco Type M Glazing Putty
  • Prime with Alkyd Fast Dry Primer
  • Full Mechanical – additional fee ($285/window)

It’s a fairly detailed and lengthy process that can take anywhere from 6 – 8 weeks.  Once completed, your wood windows will look refreshed and restored to their original beauty!

onsite Restor

If you want your windows restored but prefer not to be without your windows, we recommend the OnSite Restor.

Below is a summary of the process:

  • Remove the sashes from the frame and take outside to our portable Restor Shop
  • Remove loose glaze from glass and reglaze with Sarco Type M Putty
  • Scrape loose paint and gently sand the exterior – sashes will still have paint on them
  • Full Mechanical – additional fee ($175/window)

* Does not include muntins or interior profile.   Does not include interior of sash.  Additional fee is based upon the size and lites of each sash.  Please ask for details.

Standard Services

On every wood window project there are standard services that often need to be done.  Broken glass.  Sash ropes are gone.  While most are optional, hiring our professional installers help ensure your wood windows are done correctly.

Below are a few of the standard services and the approximate costs for each as some vary depending on the price of materials.  Once we complete your free evaluation, a complete list of all fees will be included.

Full Mechanical - Wood Windows

A Full Mechanical includes the following:

  • Attach new sash cord to weights
  • Install sashes with new parting bead

Glazing Wood Windows

Spot Glazing

starting at $50 / Sash *

Over the years glazing can become brittle, dry and fall out.  However, some of the glaze can still remain in good shape so your windows will need our Spot Glazing: 

  • Remove only the loose glaze
  • Apply new Sarco Type M Glazing putty in open areas
  • Existing glaze may still have some cracks but is still adhering well 

* Pricing depends on size of sash and number of lites.  Please ask for details.

Glazing Wood Windows

restor Glazing

starting at $100 / Sash *

Window glazing is important in that it provides a first line of weatherization so it’s crucial to get this repaired as quickly as possible.  If the damage is too severe, we recommend our Restor Glazing:

  • Remove all existing glaze
  • Apply new Sarco Type M Glazing putty
  • Use dust compound to remove excess oil from the glaze
* Pricing depends on size of sash and number of lites.  Please ask for details.

Note:  Your windows will still need to be cleaned but please wait at least one week to allow the new glaze to dry .  An additional fee of $150 per window is added for all upstairs windows if done from the outside.

need to know

We want you to be aware that when working on your wood windows there are some unexpected things that can happen.  It’s part of owning a historic home as you are well aware of by now!  So we created a page with some of the possible situations to make you aware of these issues ahead of time.

 

Additional Services

Not every window job needs these services but we do offer them as a courtesy for our clients that would prefer we handle their project from start to finish.

Again, these are just approximations for pricing and a complete detailed list of all costs will be included with the final estimate after your free evaluation.

Board Up Wood Windows

Board Up Windows

$100 / Window

Once we remove the sashes, your window frames need to be covered to protect your home from the elements.  We install 1/2″ wafer board over the openings until we return with your sashes.

Wood Window Hardware

Hardware

Ranges from $15 – $25

Many times the hardware on your windows is gunked up with paint and residue.  Restoring them is possible but can often times be more costly than simply buying new authentic hardware.

Weatherization for Wood Windows

Weatherization

STARTING AT $150 / SASH

Having wood windows means dealing with a drafty house.  Wrong!  With modern improvements and technology, it is possible to stop the majority of leaks coming in around your wood windows.

Studies show that the majority of weatherization issues with wood windows is due to air leakage between the meeting rails and below the lower sash and the sill.  Our weatherization process offers the best protection against the elements by addressing these two common issues.

 

Premier Weatherization

$200 / Window  $150 / Lower Sash Only

On the top of the upper sash and the bottom of the lower sash, we insert a polyfoam kerfed strip.  Finally, a 1/8″ rounded polyfoam kerfed strip is placed on the lower meeting rail to help seal the gaps that occur around the upper and lower sash meeting rails around the parting bead.

Note: Lower Sash Only pricing does not include weatherization for the upper sash.  Windows larger than 17 sq ft require a custom quote.
