Why Hire a 25-Year Pro?

Most contractors will tell you to replace old windows because it's faster and easier for them. We're one of the few in the area who'll actually restore them — because they're usually worth saving.

We use professional-grade materials chosen specifically for Lowcountry conditions — Sherwin-Williams, Benjamin Moore, James Hardie, and other top brands. We're happy to discuss material options with you during your free estimate so you can make the best choice for your home and budget.

Frequently Asked Questions

If they're original wood windows in decent shape, restore. Replacement vinyl windows often don't last as long as a properly restored original.
