When I set out to create resources to help homeowners with their renovations, especially with a focus on my niche,


I realized I would have to cast a mighty wide net.

While there is no one size fits all when it comes to renovations, there are steps you can take, educational resources to utilize, and strategic approaches to guide you. 



I am in the process of building out these resources so grab what's available now and check back often for new digital guides and courses!

REACH OUT

On occasion, my team or I will work on small window restoration projects such as repair to one or two windows.  If you live in the City of Spartanburg, reach out to see if we can help.

SAVING OLD WINDOWS

If you don't have the time or skills to restore your windows yourself and you live in the North Carolina or South Carolina areas, reach out to Saving Old Windows to see if he can help.  His schedule stays pretty full so schedule early.

ONLINE WINDOW RESTORATION GUIDE 

Steve from Wood Window Makeovers recommends this Online Window Restoration Guide if you're interested in learning more and after looking over the website, I can see why.  The cost of the master course is nothing in comparison to the cost to have someone else restore the windows for you and there are free downloads available too.

WOOD WINDOW MAKEOVER

Windows truly are one of the most defining parts of a historic home and I rank restoring windows over replacing them ten times out of ten.  Wood Window Makeover has been a valuable resource for me with tons of educational videos available and they offer workshops on sash making, window restoration, and more.  If you're interested in learning how to restore the windows on your historic home, I would start here.

Here are some of the recommended tools and supplies you'll need to restore your historic windows.
