Georgetown was established in 1751, predating Washington DC itself. Its Federal, Georgian, and Victorian-era buildings contain some of the most historically significant window glass in the region. The Old Georgetown Act of 1950 protects the neighborhood's architectural character, and the Old Georgetown Board (OGB) of the U.S. Commission of Fine Arts reviews all exterior alterations -- including window glass replacement.
We source authentic restoration glass from specialty manufacturers who produce mouth-blown cylinder glass with the characteristic waves, bubbles, and subtle distortions found in original 18th and 19th century panes. This glass is hand-made using traditional techniques, resulting in each pane being uniquely beautiful -- just like the originals.
Our technicians are trained in the careful removal and replacement of historic glass, ensuring that surrounding putty, wood sash, and glazing compounds are preserved or restored sympathetically. We document every project to OGB standards and can assist with your permit application materials.
