Restore Old Windows Putnam County

Half the Cost, Twice the Lifespan

Window replacement companies quote $8,400 for what restoration accomplishes for $2,800. That’s not a typo. Your original windows were built when craftsmanship mattered. The wood came from old-growth forests. The joinery was done by hand. The hardware was made to be repaired, not replaced. Modern replacement windows are built for disposal. When the seal fails or the vinyl warps, you throw out the entire unit. When historic windows need attention, you repair the specific component and they’re good for another century.

Window Restoration FAQs

Common Questions About Our Service

Window restoration typically costs between $900-$1,500 per window depending on the extent of damage and required repairs. This includes frame repair, glass replacement, weatherstripping, and hardware adjustment. Compare this to $3,000-$8,000 for quality replacement windows. The investment pays for itself through energy savings and increased property value, especially for historic properties where authentic windows significantly boost market appeal.
Windows that are 100+ years old are often the best candidates for restoration. Historic wood windows were built with old-growth timber that’s more durable than modern materials. Even windows with rotted sections, broken glass, or stuck sashes can usually be completely restored. The key is professional assessment – we can determine which components need repair versus replacement. Most “failing” historic windows just need proper maintenance they haven’t received in decades.
Yes, when properly restored and paired with storm windows, historic windows perform comparably to modern thermal units. Studies show restored windows with weatherstripping and storm windows achieve similar energy efficiency to replacement windows at half the cost. The difference in thermal performance is minimal, but restored windows last 50-100 years longer than modern replacements that typically fail within 15-20 years.
Most window restoration projects take 2-4 weeks depending on the number of windows and extent of repairs needed. We remove windows to our workshop for restoration work, then reinstall them properly weatherized and functioning. This minimizes disruption to your daily routine while ensuring quality workmanship.
