Question about Preserving Window Frames

[ChristopherFulton]

Hi all, could anyone share some advice on whether it’s worth restoring old wooden window frames, or is it better just to replace them? We have a house from the 60s with original windows that we love, but they’re clearly not in the best shape. We're considering restoration as an alternative, but I’m unsure about how effective it is or how long it will last. Any suggestions on who could help with this in the Boston area?

Hello! I was in the same boat, torn between replacement and restoration. Then, I found GoodWindowWorks and decided to give restoration a shot. Their team assessed the frames and performed a thorough restoration, addressing every sign of wear. They replaced and reinforced damaged sections and applied special wood treatments that not only restored the frame’s appearance but also protected it from future issues like warping or cracking. Now, my windows look and function like new, and it’s amazing how they maintained the original aesthetic of our home. Plus, they used high-quality products to ensure durability. Restoration was the perfect solution, and I’d say it’s well worth it!
