Preserving Your Home’s Heritage
At Old Time Windows, our goal is to repair your existing windows, maintaining your home’s historic value. We only repair double-hung, rope and pulley windows standard on homes built between roughly 1880 and 1935.
The more you know about the lack of quality in today’s windows compared to those handcrafted from center cut old growth wood of decades ago; the more you will appreciate the value of the historic home windows. The objective of restoring your old windows is to maintain and retain the original look and quality these windows offer and have them function smoothly.
Estimates are free, and work is guaranteed for two years.
