New England Window Restoration Alliance
Window Restoration Alliance members share a commitment to the preservation and restoration of historic wooden windows. Alliance members are expert preservationists, blending traditional and modern materials and techniques to maintain the window’s original practical function and architectural design. Vintage and historic windows can be made as energy efficient as new double pane windows. More often than not, windows can be repaired, or fine-tuned to operate correctly for many generations to come at a fraction of the cost of replacement windows.
