Repair first, replicate only when necessary

Our philosophy is always to save the original sash where it's structurally sound, epoxy consolidation and wood splicing recover far more windows than people expect. But when a sash has lost too much of its structure, a faithful reproduction is the right answer, and it's far superior to a stock replacement that ignores your home's proportions.

How we build a replica sash

Measuring and templating the existing opening and surviving sashes
Matching the exact rail, stile, and muntin profiles of the original
Milling from quality, vertical-grain wood suited to long service life
Traditional mortise-and-tenon joinery for strength that lasts generations
Fitting period-correct or restoration glass, including divided lites
Integrating with the original weight-and-pulley system for true double-hung operation

Frames, leaded glass & specialty work

Beyond sashes, we fabricate and repair frames, and design and install leaded and stained glass panels for character windows, transoms, and sidelights. Whether you're restoring a single landmark window or an entire historic facade, the goal is the same: work that honors the original and disappears into it.

Custom fabrication FAQs

How do you match the look of my existing windows?

We template the surviving sashes and replicate their exact profiles and glass so the new unit matches the rest of the house.

Will a new sash still operate as a true double-hung?

Yes. We integrate replica sashes with the original weight-and-pulley balance system so they operate exactly like the originals.

Do you handle landmark or heritage requirements?

We work within historical building restoration and heritage preservation guidelines, which often require like-for-like repair or replication rather than replacement.
