book assessment
These assessments of the condition of your windows will provide you with a document you can use to reference and plan from. Each window is broken down into individual cost so you can strategize how you want to proceed with the project.
We build custom Doug-fir wood storm windows and wood screen sash.
These custom-built storm/screen windows have removable glass and screen inserts that can be removed from the inside of the building. This allows the owner to change the inserts with the seasons without having to go outside or use a ladder.
Replicate window sash to match existing windows in the rest of the building. This is done to provide uniformity to all of your windows.
Willamette Window Restoration uses mortise and tenon joinery on all storm windows and replica sash.

We knew that repairing the windows versus replacing would be an investment in time
and money. We also knew that finding the right company for this project would be
difficult. Thankfully, we found the right person. Julie with Willamette Window
Restoration LLC visited our site, reviewed the situation and came up with a plan to
replace broken glass, make sash openings operable, remove & replace loose glazing, re-
rope upper & lower sash cords, and replace missing sash weights. She provided the work
in a timely and professional manner. It was amazing to watch the work proceed and now
we have windows that open and close easily allowing the spring breeze and fresh air in,
while also keeping with the historical look and safety for this home.
