Wood Window Restoration: This Process Brings Life Back into Old House Sashes (2020)

I stumbled upon historic restoration as an odd request as a woodworker, however, this became a very lucrative and historically rewarding part of our business. I have been blessed to have worked on a number of prominent architectural wood restoration projects that I can be proud of and show my kids, as well as some projects receiving awards for the quality of work. During these last few years I have honed my skills with wood window restoration and while at first this may seem like a tall task, it really just takes time and attention. I hope you can see how window restoration can help you improve your property or a historic one, be an additional side to your business, and help preserve our local history.

During this particular sash restoration, the wood rot seemed almost unrepairable. However, this small cabin is on the historic registry and needed to be returned to original as best as we possibly could. I came across two products I had not used yet and was absolutely thrilled with their performance: TotalBoat's Penetrating Epoxy that we used to regain the strength from the old wood and FixWood, a two part putty that filled all the spots that were rotten and solidified the sash as well as protecting it from future rot. These product listings are below as well.
