Below is a breakdown of the steps taken during a complete restoration process:

• Complete a full on-site assessment to determine current sash conditions and note any major repairs
• Pick up sashes from the client’s home and return them to the shop, where we label, photograph, inspect, and prep for “treatment”
• Remove all hardware and clean
• Remove old glazing and glass (using steam) and prep glass for deep cleaning
• Remove all paint back to the original wood – using steam and an infrared lamp
• Gently hand sand all rails, stiles, and muntins and make any needed repairs
• Complete a full wipe down with linseed oil and prime coat
• Reinstall glass and glaze with Sarco “Type M” Glazing Putty
• Apply two coats of final finish paint as approved by the client
• Full mechanical rehab
