Good Window Works prides itself on being one of the only companies to provide historic window repair services in the greater Boston area. Our mission is to repair and preserve windows, maintaining their historical and architectural significance. Historical windows are often made with materials and construction techniques that differ from modern window designs. Repairing historic windows requires specialized knowledge to ensure the windows are not damaged during our preservation process.

Steps involved in historic window repair:

FREE ESTIMATE: We begin by assessing the condition of the windows and documenting their original design, materials, and any existing damage. This evaluation by our window experts helps determine the extent of the repair needed and clarifies the subsequent steps.

WOOD FRAME REPAIR: In many cases, window can be repaired rather than outright replaced. Our skilled craftsmen repair or replace damaged parts of the window sashes, frames, sills, and glazing bars to retain as much of the original appearance as possible.

REPAIRING AND REPLACING GLASS: Our technicians are able to match the original glass type in terms of thickness, texture, and appearance. If your window glass is broken or cracked just remember Good Window Works has got your back.

WEATHERPROOFING AND INSULATION: Another benefit of repairing your damaged windows is the enhanced energy efficiency of your windows by incorporating weatherstripping, caulking, or gaskets to minimize drafts and improve insulation without compromising the historic appearance. This step ensures the windows meet modern energy efficiency standards while preserving their historical appearance.

WINDOW PULLEY SYSTEMS: As a part of the window repair/maintenance process, our technicians will inspect and provide you with the information about window cords, chains or weights that require attention to make your windows function properly.

REINSTALLATION: The Good Window Works team will carefully reinstall the restored windows, ensuring proper alignment, operation, and stability.
