Hi there everyone,
I own plum alley windowcraft, a full restoration sash company in Houston and I work on any home anywhere pre 1950. I’m happy to come out and give a quote to anyone interested. I have restored historic homes for 8 years and finally decided to focus on window restoration after seeing so many Good old growth sashes being torn out. If You cant swing the price, it’s better to do nothing than to put in replacement windows (as long as water isn’t coming in obviously!)
please call me for a free quote.
just FYI: some folks out there don’t go “all the way” and will cut corners to meet your budget like not redoing the glazing. This only costs more in the long run. My company takes sashes to my shop and strips the sashes to bare wood removing all lead paint, totally removes all old glazing and reglazes, primes, and paints the sashes before reinstall. New ropes for all weights as well. Interior and exterior trim can also be scraped to bare wood revealing the original detail work if requested. This is the only way they will last another 200 years.
