Some houses deserve
a second century.
How we restore
Save what can be saved.
Rebuild the rest in kind.
Replacement is easy and it shows. We take the older road: original sash pulled, repaired and reglazed with linseed putty; what's too far gone rebuilt from raw stock in the same species, the same joinery, the same profiles. When we're done, it isn't "close" — it's original.
See it happen
Drag the line.
Latimore Tourist Home — a window opening brought back with rebuilt sash and reglazed lights.
The craft
Sash built from raw stock.
Sixteen-over-one, twelve-over-twelve, whatever the house asks for — milled, coped and pinned here, glazed with real linseed putty, hung on the original weights where they survive.

Most "beyond saving" windows and doors aren't. A look costs nothing, and the original fabric of your house is worth the conversation.
