ATTENTION Iowa City Homeowners! We are now scheduling historical window restorations for the 2026-2027 calendar years. If your home features original wood windows that are non-functional, painted shut, have broken glass, or are experiencing lead paint deterioration, we encourage you to contact us!
HHI Construction, a local contractor specializing in historical window restoration and weatherization, can restore your vintage windows to their original functionality and aesthetic appeal.
Restoring wood windows offers numerous benefits, including enhanced energy efficiency and reduced air infiltration when properly restored and weatherized. Unlike modern windows, restored wood windows provide a sustainable, cost-effective solution that maintains your home's historical accuracy while reducing waste. In contrast, modern replacement windows are often expensive, require additional trim replacements, and may not comply with historical preservation requirements.
Furthermore, replacement windows typically have a limited lifespan and may experience seal failures, leading to condensation and air leaks. Proper restoration eliminates lead paint concerns by safely removing and disposing of lead products. In terms of cost, wood window restoration is often significantly more affordable than installing replacement windows, with prices ranging from half to two-thirds of the cost.
For detailed information on the benefits of restoring your wood windows, please do not hesitate to contact us!
