We haven’t posted much as have been busy with more recycled (Thank you Kim) & fully restored windows, more stuck and broken windows now working, and meeting more wonderful ‘old home’ people. One of my favorite updates is that our youngest son Tim has joined the effort, give us more capacity to deliver for customers. Here’s Tim...

We’re just catching up on posting updates as we’re doing a number of neat projects. Last week we worked for a wonderful customer who had us renew three vintage windows. The pictures do not fully illustrate all the work we did over two days. Here we removed fixed storm windows, removed the old glaze and reglazed anew, painted with Benjamin Moore Exterior Duration paint (expensive yet so worth it)and did a full razor blade cleaning on the interior and exterior side of the windows and as well as both sides of the storms. While we waited for paint to dry, we did some touch up concrete work around two of her basement windows and painted at no additional cost. We hate standing around…see a need a fill a need. We’ll return next week to touch up those windows once the concrete more fully sets. Our customer was the sweetest; she even made us a fantastic banana bread desert and served the coldest cokes during those hot days last week. We love our customers & what we do!

Here's a neat project currently underway. In the photos we have a pair of bathroom windows which are undergoing a full reconditioning and an addition of adding the ability to open them as in the prior configuration, they were fixed in place. Without storm windows to close, temporary windows were made using materials from around the shop and plexiglass to avoid a plywood "blockoff" and removing all-natural light from the room. Plastic was also used in the jam area to protect the sills from any rain. The window on the bench is an attic window also removed from the same home with reconstruction underway. Here we have the frame which needed some love and, when restored to square and epoxied, can no longer accommodate the old glass. No matter, 4 new panes will be installed, glazed, the window then primed, sealed, then painted. In a few days this will be ready to be reinstalled!
