Historic Window Restoration

Older homes often feature beautiful handcrafted windows that reflect the era’s unique architectural style. Rather than replacing them, 3D Home Improvements offers historic window restoration to protect these distinctive features. We carefully remove, repair, and restore original wood frames, sashes, and glass to keep your home’s historic charm intact. Serving Massachusetts and Connecticut, we combine traditional techniques with modern improvements for enhanced insulation and usability.

Key Benefits

• Preserved Character: Retain the original craftsmanship and unique look of your home’s windows.
• Cost-Effective: Restoration can be more budget-friendly than full replacement, especially for large or custom windows.
• Improved Efficiency: Subtle weatherstripping and upgraded glass (if needed) can reduce drafts without compromising authenticity.
• Environmental Responsibility: Restoring windows keeps old materials out of landfills and minimizes resource consumption.

2. Careful Removal: We remove sashes and hardware, taking note of original details.
3. Repair & Reglaze: We fix damaged wood, apply fresh glazing compound, and address any broken panes or hardware.
