If your original wood windows are leaky, rotted, or painted shut you don’t need to spend thousands of dollars for replacement windows that will wear out in just a few years. You can restore them yourself and I can show you how.
I am the owner of a historic restoration company and we have restored thousands of wood windows. What is contained in this book is the process we use. This is the ONLY step-by-step guide for wood window restoration out there!
I know because I searched for years and have read every other book on the topic of historic windows. They are usually filled with information but none of them told me what to do and how to do it. That’s where this book is different!
You’ll get 76 pages of full-color, picture-filled tutorials detailing exactly what to do from start to finish. The whole process is broken down into bite size pieces and described in a simple way that makes sense to ordinary homeowners not just preservation professionals.
