Picture
1950s vintage aluminum replacement with failed insulated glass.
Picture
Vertical grain fir sashes made to match the original, with reinstated rope & pulley counter balance system.

Basement awning window with missing muntin (wood divider).
Picture
Same basement window with new muntins restoring original design.

Picture
During a kitchen remodel a seating area resulted in the central mullion blocking the view.
Picture
New (double-wide) sashes matching the original design were installed within the original frame. This resulted in unhindered view at a fraction of the cost of an all new window.

Picture
During a top floor remodel of this historic property the original windows were replaced with a modern vinyl product.
Picture
The original windows were saved from the dumpster (literally), refurbished, and reinstalled, restoring the original facade.

Picture
The three curved windows in this bay were falling apart after years of neglect. The center lower sash was replaced with plywood. ​
New sashes were built by Seattle Historic Window Co. The leaded panels were rebuilt by James McKeown Stained Glass Studio. Coordination and installation by Double-hung Window Restoration.
Picture
The image above is a detail of one of the leaded panels before repairs. Because the sash was falling apart the panel was tearing apart. Interim "fixes" included expanding foam and lots of caulk.

At right Jim McKeown assists with the installation of the new sashes with the leaded panels he rebuilt.

The panels have all new lead. All the original glass was re-used. A few missing pieces were replaced with matching custom art glass.
