I have yet to see a wood window I could not save
Your windows were made with old growth wood, which is more resistant to disease, pests and water than any other wood available, any where in the world. Many Pittsburgh windows were made from trees that were 200 years old and now they are patiently waiting to be restored to last another 100 years!

We live in a disposable society. Buy cheap and replace. This has also applied to the window business. Window replacements have been so hyped that many don’t realize that old windows CAN be restored. The beauty and strength of old growth wood can’t be surpassed and any window made with it CAN be restored!
BENEFITS OF RESTORING VS. BUYING REPLACEMENT WINDOWS:
It’s less expensive to restore than to install new or replacement windows! If your wood windows are restored correctly and you add a good fitting storm window, they are as energy efficient as any new replacement window.
Restored windows can last hundreds of years (as opposed to 15 years for replacement windows)
The glass has an Artesian quality. Did you know that the glass in old windows was hand blown and rolled? You’ll never see this type of glass again, unless you pay a premium. Old wavy glass in wooden windows has become so popular that people go out of their way to have it installeded when remodeling.
You’re saving a boatload of money in the long run and passing that savings on to whomever buys or occupies your home in the future
The energy of old growth wood is healthier for you and your family as opposed to synthetic vinyl
You’re reducing landfill waste!
