Wood Windows

9 Step Restoration Process

Re-View has developed a nine step process for restoring historic wood windows.  This process is a result of working on thousands of historic wood windows, referencing countless specifications and periodicals that address the proper methods for preserving landmark structures.

1. On-Site Survey:  Re-View creates a digital survey of the conditions found onsite that serves as the foundation for the entire project.

2.  Lead Paint Removal:  Re-View has vast experience in the proper methodology for hazardous material abatement both onsite and in our plant.

3.  Repair Structural Mortis and Tenon Joints:  Re-View uses only the finest adhesives, fasteners, and epoxies to tend to the structural element of a historic wood window.

4.  Replace Deteriorated Components:  Re-View fabricates exact replicas of component parts for an exacting replacement.

5.  Apply Liquid Epoxy:  Re-View craftsmen have worked with liquid epoxy systems on thousands of windows.

6.  Apply Epoxy Wood Filler:  Re-View only uses the best epoxy system on the market.

7.  Finish Sand:  Re-View craftsmen use a combination of standard and custom sanding tools to prepare a restored wood window for finishing.

8.  Glazing:  We have people skilled in both putty glazing and stop glazing.  Re-View doesn't produce leaking windows.

9.  Finish Paint:  Re-View has invested in an automated paint line with four paint booths and a large drying oven to handle large finish projects.
