I recently had the pleasure of working with Worcester Window Repair to restore four old, drafty windows, one with a broken screen. I am thrilled with the results! They now open and close easily, have zero drafts, and look like new. Greg and Tim are extremely knowledge...

Here’s an update on a fun project the team at Worcester Window Repair posted a few weeks ago and just completed today. These two bathroom windows were fixed, never opened and needed some TLC. We removed them, installed temporary windows (because no one likes to look at plywood) and brought them back to the shop to get to work. Here we removed all the divided light glass panels, rebuilt the rotten window sashes using wood hardener, new wood where necessary, and epoxy to repair what was needed, milled the sash’s to install spiral balancers, painted with top quality exterior paint (here is not a place to cut corners) and finally reinstalled the glass. The photo with the white powdery “stuff” on the windows is plaster which we use on the glaze for a day to help dry the linseed oil based glaze. The last two photos are them installed an working nicely. Enjoy the photos. We throughly enjoyed working with this client.

Always fun! What started out as a simple project turned out to be so much more. The original scope was trim a previous repaired 3 1/2 inch lower sill which was much too wide under these four windows. Being too wide and not properly caulked, rain water was getting into the house. Not knowing the extent of the damage, we started scrapping. Well, about a pound of old caulk was used to ”repair” the prior damage. Yikes! We removed the old sill completely, dug out all the old rotten wood and treated it with wood hardener. In this case, it didn’t make sense to completely remove the sill due to time and cost, so after the wood hardener set up, screws were installed through the now void cavity and water putty (excellent material for this type of repair) used to let stiffen and dry. The next day a new, more appropriate sized PVC sill was installed and finished with white caulk. No more rotten windows here! When we return to repair the owners water damaged window sashes in a few weeks, we’ll sand and paint this repair to look like new. We always balance the repair with the cost and do our best to help our customers find the best and most cost effective solutions.
