As a result, in this "disposable generation", we are allowing the very character of our Historic Homes to deteriorate to the point that that our windows are being taken out and sent to the landfills.

These are being replaced by petroleum based, or new growth products, that are not capable of withstanding the elements on a long term basis, which consequently, reduces the charm and value of our homes.

Our goal, as the value of your property affects the value of our property, is to maintain, or show you how to maintain your windows, in order to allow them to last for another 70 to 100 years.

As a bonus, we can also add insulation to your windows, that will slow the heating/cooling loss, while allowing the wood to continue to "breathe", but not "hyperventilate", resulting in lower utility cost and a more comfortable home.

We can also repair your window screens or manufacture custom screens to fit the period and design of your home.

This can be done at a cost that you will find to be surprisingly low.
 

The Double Hung Sash Window is currently the most used design of windows in the world.

If you have a home in the Heights that was built prior to 1940,
you cannot purchase windows that are as good as the ones that you have?

The reason is that the materials used to manufacture the original windows
were the finest hardwoods available at the time, and these materials no longer exist.

Materials currently used to make newly available windows are estimated by most experts in the field,
to include the top of the line, are only expected to last 20 years or so.

Yours, on the other hand, have been in use for upwards to 110 years.
 

Your question may be, "If they are so great, why are they so difficult to open, and why do they not seal properly?"

This is purely a mater of maintenance.

The majority of windows that I maintain have not been touched in over 20 years.
