At Good Window Works, we take pride in being one of the few companies in New Hampshire to offer specialized historic window repair services. Our mission is to restore and preserve historic windows, safeguarding their architectural and historical significance. Unlike modern windows, historic windows are crafted with unique materials and techniques, which require a careful, knowledgeable approach to ensure their integrity remains intact throughout the restoration process.

Steps Involved in Historic Window Repair    

Free Estimate:    

Our process starts with a thorough assessment of your windows. We document the original design, materials, and any visible damage. This evaluation by our skilled experts provides a clear picture of the restoration needs and lays out the next steps for a seamless repair process.

Wood Frame Repair:    

Often, historic windows can be repaired rather than replaced. Our skilled craftsmen carefully restore or replace damaged sections of the sashes, frames, sills, and glazing bars, preserving as much of the original wood as possible to retain the window’s authentic look.

Weatherproofing and Insulation:    

Historic window repair also brings the benefit of improved energy efficiency. We enhance insulation by adding weatherstripping, caulking, or gaskets to minimize drafts without compromising the window’s historic appearance. This step ensures that your windows are both energy-efficient and true to their original style.

Window Pulley Systems:    

As part of our detailed restoration, we inspect and service any window pulley systems, including cords, chains, or weights, to ensure they function smoothly and reliably. This attention to detail maintains the operational integrity of your historic windows.

Reinstallation:    

After restoration, our team carefully re-installs each window, checking for proper alignment, operation, and stability to ensure a flawless fit and finish.

Good Window Works is committed to preserving New Hampshire’s architectural heritage, combining expert craftsmanship with a passion for history. Contact us today to discuss your historic window restoration needs and see how we can bring new life to your historic windows.
