Wood Windows

We offer two types of wood windows:

Wood Craftsman:  Locally made using the same traditional techniques and materials with modern production machinery.

Pros:

• Intended for replacement in historical homes to match the same design and function as the original windows and doors
• Tight grain and old growth wood can last centuries if properly maintained
• Locally manufactured in small scale production with the ability to customize design, function and colors of interior and exterior

Cons:

• Higher cost than vinyl or aluminum
• Required maintenance to ensure the wood is properly painted and/or stained
• Intended for replacement in older homes that originally had wood windows, not for homes that originally had vinyl or aluminum windows

Wood Windows and Doors with Exterior Cladding:  Interior wood frames with an exterior vinyl, fiberglass or aluminum cladding.

Pros:

• Less maintenance than Wood Craftsman.  Can be installed in historical or newer homes.
• Offer a variety of exterior colors with either a painted interior finish or sealed finish which can be stained
• NFRC and Title 24 compliant as well as some other modern advancements over Wood Craftsman

Cons:

• Higher cost than vinyl or aluminum
• Long lead times (3-9 months)
• Quality of wood is not as good as Wood Craftsman
