[MassHistPres] Window repairs

[heartwood]

I enjoyed a nice chat with barbara this afternoon...
I was heartened to learn that she had received feedback
from a number of window restoration specialists...

I offer clients to work on their sash in my shop with my guidance
and tools for an hourly fee...others may offer the same as well as
day or multiple day workshops....

we in the trades are a good bunch!

best of luck!

Boston Building Resources offers classes on historic window repair and has supplies. I don’t prefer their rope (that has plastic inside) but the regular rope can be purchased online. While chains are an option. I prefer the silent sound of the rope and hearing the sometimes “subtle thunk” of a weight hitting another weight. https://www.bostonbuildingresources.com/window-restoration

Good morning, the Medway Historical Commission is working with the owner of an historical building in town on window repairs.  We are trying to preserve the original windows rather than replace them. There are apparently broken panes, some wood is rotten and needs to be repaired.  There are limited funds, the owner is hoping to do as much of the work as possible themselves.  Any tips on resources that we can point them to for assistance?  Thanks, and happy holidays to all.
