If you want your windows completely restored back to their former glory, we recommend “The Full Rehab”. Below is a breakdown of the steps taken during a complete restoration process:
Complete a full on-site assessment to determine current sash conditions and note any major repairs
Pick up sashes from the client’s home and return them to the shop, where we label, photograph, inspect and prep for “treatment”
Remove hardware and clean
Remove old glazing and glass (using steam) and prep glass for deep cleaning
Remove all paint back to the original wood – using steam and an infrared lamp
Gently hand sand all rails, stiles and muntins and make any needed repairs
Complete a full wipe down with linseed oil and prime coat
Reinstall glass and glaze with Sarco “Type M” Glazing Putty
Apply two coats of final finish paint as approved by client
