Restoring old windows
Well, I heard back from Devin and he sounds good…but my windows will be gone for weeks. It sounds like if he can group together several jobs in Brooklyn then he is available. Hmm…

We’re in the same situation. I found this old post on Brownstoner listing some options:
http://forum.brownstoner.com/question/Bn87bnFNb7E=/restoring-weight–chain-windows
I reached out to Devin at Albany Window Restoration Company, and he’s very responsive, but you’ll have to wait for the next time he’s in the city.

thank you Seth! The more I think about it, the more I think restoration might be the way to go for me. Did you decide to work with Devin?

You could also reach out to Femenella Associates and Riverton Restoration. If the project is too small for them they might have other suggestions.

If you’re up for DIY, these places offer workshops (one in New Hampshire, one in Maine):
http://www.historichomeworks.com/hhw/index.htm
http://oldewindowrestorer.com/index.html
And, though located near Rochester, consider calling Honeoye Falls Millwork:

Thank you everyone.. I also found another name, has anyone worked with Alain Lebel?
