OLD WINDOW MAINTENANCE
& WEATHERIZATION
Old windows are a highly functional invention that can outperform modern replacements in longevity and energy efficiency. Are you using them to their full potential? General maintenance over the years includes replacing broken glass, light touch-ups of compromised glazing putty, re-conditioning rope and pulley systems, solving old window rattle, ensuring that window sashes are still able to lock and create a tight weatherseal, and ensuring that the sashes can open and close smoothly. In addition, durable 100yr. weatherstripping and storm windows can be installed, and screens/shutters can be repaired and made functional again.
OLD WINDOW RESTORATION*
Old windows can outperform modern replacements and create energy savings for 200years or more. This is a good reason to save even those old windows which seem "too far gone" and require more than basic maintenance. Reviving old windows which are on the brink of death is what we are experts at: re-finishing painted window components, re-glazing entire window seals, rejuvenating old weathered wood, halting corrosion for steel windows, repairing rotten or damaged window elements, tightening up loose window joints, refurbishing heavily-painted window hardware, and more. Our methods and procedures have been tested and industry-backed to provide you with a product that is long-lasting and efficiently executed.

WINDOW SURVEYS
Old Window Revival offers the implementation of extensive window surveys for historic organizations, government agencies, architects, and contractors. Because historic window deterioration and design is often complex, having a thorough window survey for your structure carried out by a window specialist is crucial to the accuracy of your project estimating and specifications. A window survey should be carried out by a company that understands proper repair methodologies and standards set forth by the Secretary of the Interior.
DIY Window Repair
Old Window Revival is happy to educate and assist homeowners, business-owners, and historic organizations on tried-and-true methods for window repair and restoration when they desire to do the work themselves. Learn ways to maximize energy efficiency of older windows and make repairs that will last.
Old Window Revival is also happy to share the work load with individuals to reduce cost and make preservation possible. For example, you may opt to clean glass, execute final paint coatings, remove sashes to shop, make shipments, or even re-install the sashes when they are done. Our central priority is to save old windows. Proactive and knowledgeable old window stewards keep saving.
When endeavoring to remove lead paint yourself, please call the EPA’s lead paint removal hotline to learn about safety precautions at: 1-800-424-LEAD (5323).

*NOTE: These services usually require having to remove window sashes back to the shop for purposes of efficiency, keeping lead paint removal costs low and more safe for the home, controlling the climate for proper curing, and necessary access to woodworking machinery. But not always. Temporary window and door protection options can be discussed.
