Frequently Asked Questions
-
What makes double-hung window restoration better than replacing them with new windows?Restoring double-hung windows, especially the original, classic styles, preserves the architectural integrity and aesthetic of your home which new windows might not match. Restoration also tends to be more cost-effective compared to full replacements, especially when considering custom window sizes and styles. Moreover, restoring your existing windows reduces waste, making it a more environmentally friendly choice.
-
How do you handle windows with lead paint during restoration?Safety is our top priority when dealing with lead paint. We follow strict lead-safe work practices, including sealing the work area, using HEPA vacuums for cleanup, and disposing of hazardous materials properly. We also educate homeowners about the process, providing peace of mind that their health and home are protected. Our compliance with EPA guidelines ensures that all restoration work is done safely and responsibly.
-
Can you restore windows that are part of a historical building or are under heritage preservation guidelines?Yes, we specialize in the restoration of windows in historical buildings and those under heritage preservation guidelines. We understand the importance of maintaining the original appearance while ensuring modern functionality. Our restoration process respects and preserves original materials and techniques as much as possible, and we can navigate the regulatory requirements to ensure all modifications are compliant with local heritage standards.
-
What is the typical timeline for a window restoration project?The timeline for window restoration can vary significantly depending on the project's scope and the windows' condition. A typical single-window restoration might take anywhere from a few hours to a full day. Larger projects or windows requiring extensive repairs can take longer. We provide a detailed schedule after the initial assessment and strive to minimize disruption by ensuring that most work is completed on-site, and windows are secured overnight.
-
How do you ensure that restored windows are energy efficient?We integrate modern weatherproofing techniques during restoration to improve the energy efficiency of your restored windows. This includes installing weather-stripping, using high-quality glazing compounds, and sometimes incorporating thermal glass where appropriate. These enhancements help to reduce drafts and heat loss, improving your home's overall energy efficiency while maintaining the classic look of your windows.
