Renovating browns town windows

A finish carpenter could restore your windows. If the concern is matching existing molding, they may be able to find something off the shelf at Dykes Lumber. It’s also possible to custom make them, but the cost and effort might not be worth it for two windows — depends. . Once you have the right materials, this is a very small job taking just a few hours. As for the wood floor, you should contact someone who specializes in wood floor installation. Be careful to let the wood acclimate to your humidity in your home for a few weeks, so it doesn’t cup after installation. . If you are going for a historic look, you may want to find some old salvaged wood that has been re-milled. Or just wider, high quality boards. . Unfortunately, I am not allowed to recommend people because I work for Brownstoner, but maybe someone else here can make some suggestions. By the way, it is very rare for buildings to be landmarked on the inside. Usually it is only the outside that is landmarked, and any exterior alterations must be approved in advance by the Landmark Preservation Commission. . It sounds like you have some beautiful plans for restoration.

Hello I have an apartment in a brownstone in Manhattan on 75th street and Columbus. I have 3 windows and 2 of them need renovation. They are missing some wood on the inside frame. I like to find someone to renovate them if possible. All the frames, wood shades are currently dark brown and I would like to repaint them all in white. Would anyone know a brownstone window specialist company who could do that work? This is a landmark building, so it has to be properly made. 2) woodfloor At the same time , I would like to change my wood floor. Again does anyone know a god company who does refined work? Thank you very much for your help Francoise
