Absolutely. This is one of our core specialties. We excel at creating historically accurate window replacements that meet modern performance standards. We use custom-milled wood-clad windows that replicate the exact profile, divided lite pattern, and wood species of your originals. We can also source period-appropriate hardware. Our team is experienced in working with local historic preservation commissions to ensure all work complies with guidelines, achieving a result that is visually indistinguishable from the original but vastly more efficient and durable.

For Vicksburg’s river valley climate, we recommend windows with superior construction and materials. Fiberglass or vinyl exteriors are excellent choices as they are impervious to moisture and won’t warp or rot. For the interior, if you desire a wood look, a wood-clad window with a stable fiberglass exterior is the ideal solution. Critically, the installation must be flawless, using high-performance flashing and sealants to create an airtight and watertight seal that prevents the humid air from infiltrating your home.

The key is using modern technology hidden within a historically accurate package. This includes using Low-E glass coatings that are invisible to the eye but block UV rays and heat. We can install windows with hidden spring balances instead of old sash weights, preserving the look while improving function. For doors, we can replicate a historic design using modern fiberglass or Accoya wood that won’t warp, and install it with a fully weather-stripped, adjustable threshold that is largely concealed from view.

Yes, we do. We have extensive experience working with local historic preservation entities. We understand their processes and requirements and can assist you throughout the application and approval process. We can provide detailed drawings, material specifications, and documentation to demonstrate that our proposed work will be in keeping with the home’s historic character. We see this as a collaborative partnership to achieve the best outcome for your home and the community.

A custom project for a historic home requires more time and care than a standard replacement. The timeline can vary depending on the complexity and number of windows. After the initial consultation and design phase, which can take a few weeks, the custom manufacturing of the windows typically takes 6-10 weeks. The installation itself is done with extreme care to protect your home’s interior and can take several days to a few weeks. We will provide you with a detailed project timeline and keep you informed at every stage.
