Now Offering Traditional Wood Storm Windows for Energy Efficiency + Preservation

We are excited and proud to offer traditional wood Storm Windows built right here in our Black Mountain, NC shop by our expert carpenters. Traditional wood Storm Windows not only preserve the historic character and elevated aesthetics of your home, they will protect your historic windows and provide much increased energy efficiency. They are the most inconspicuous of all storm windows as we mill the wood to match the thickness of the window casing and provide exact color match for a seamless look. Compared to aluminum windows, wood provides a better thermal efficiency and is a sustainable choice.

Our standard wood storm windows include a removable, metal-framed glass piece on the bottom that can be replaced with a metal-framed screen; the top piece of glass is glazed-in and fixed in place. Another option is for both upper and lower to have removable glass pieces as a custom choice.

Now that we are building these beautiful storms in-house, you can expect shorter wait times compared to aluminum storm window providers. We build our wood Storm Windows using traditional techniques with rot-resistant, high-density sapele hardwood. Contact us today to schedule a consultation.

Montford historic district door restoration

Here we are stripping the 100 years of built-up lead paint from these original old-growth pine doors.  The client decided to have them painted, so I will be priming them with Benjamin Moore Enamel undercoat for the smoothest possible finish.  

We are using the silent paint remover to remove the paint.  This process is followed by sanding every inch of the doors with 80 then 120 grit sandpaper.  

All repairs are made using Abatron epoxy system and nails holes filled with ready patch.

The original door bell has been stripped by allowing the hardware to soak overnight in a crock pot with water and a couple tablespoons of baking soda.  After soaking I clean remaining residue with a small nylon bristle brush and rinse in warm water.  This is followed by polishing with extra fine steel wool.

Abatron epoxy repair to bottom corner.  First, 10 3/16" holes were drilled into corner to provide a mechanical bond between the door and epoxy.  A strip of wood was taped to edge to provide a square corner for the epoxy to flow to.
