Historic wood and steel window restoration in Nashville
Original windows and careful woodwork, repaired for the long run.
We restore historic windows, repair sash and frames, reglaze glass, and take on custom woodworking and carpentry projects for older homes and buildings in Nashville and the surrounding area.
Keep the old window when the wood, glass, and hardware can be brought back.
Call when a sash sticks, rattles, shows rot, loses putty, or needs glass and weatherproofing.
Ask about restoring old wooden windows before replacing the whole unit.

A sash is handled in stages, not rushed through a replacement pitch.
The published repair process starts with inspection and moves through removal, wood repair, glazing, weatherproofing, and reinstallation when the project calls for it.
- Inspection
We look at the sash, rails, joints, glass, and the condition of the surrounding wood.
- Careful removal
When the work calls for it, the sash is removed so repairs can be handled properly.
- Wood repair
Damaged wood is repaired or replaced. Minor decay may be addressed with sash epoxy restoration techniques.
- Glass and glazing
Glass is reglazed or replaced with care for the window's age and character.
- Weatherproofing
Surfaces are primed, sealed, and painted with weather-resistant coatings.
- Reinstallation
The sash is reinstalled for fit, operation, and a better seal.
