The Case for Restoring, Not Replacing
Sash & Glazing Repair
We re-glaze cracked or missing glass panes, repair or replace deteriorated wood sash, and restore proper operation so windows open, close, and lock as intended.
Weatherstripping & Sealing
Drafty windows are often a sealing problem, not a window problem. We install new weatherstripping and apply rope caulk or glazing compound to eliminate air and moisture infiltration.
Strip, Prime & Repaint
Peeling or failed window paint is stripped back to bare wood, spot-primed, and repainted with a proper two-coat system that protects the wood and looks clean for years.
How Phinney Ridge Painting Can Help
Phinney Ridge Painting has restored hundreds of windows in historic Seattle neighborhoods. We understand the materials, the techniques, and the lead-paint protocols required to do this work safely and correctly. Our goal is always to make your windows look and perform like new—without sending them to the landfill.
We understand the craftsmanship of older windows and know how to match original profiles, glazing styles, and paint colors to preserve historic character.
We use the best paints and materials available to ensure a vibrant, long-lasting finish that withstands PNW weather.
Many pre-1978 windows contain lead paint. Our team is EPA RRP-certified and follows all required containment, removal, and disposal protocols to keep your family safe.
Window restoration typically costs a fraction of full replacement—and on quality old-growth wood, results in a window that will last decades longer than a vinyl substitute.
