Just finished this project for an amazing customer who came to me with a Wooden casement window manufactured in the mid-late 1980's
She and her husband had recently just purchased a new home and one of the main attractions for her particularly was the windows in this home, little did she know the condition until she went to "crank out" the window and it completely fell apart.
The glass was broken, and the entire bottom part of the frame was completely rotted away.
The biggest issue with this entirely is that they haven't made this style window in 20+ years.
You can't order this window
you can't go to Lowe's and buy it.
most contractors or general repair guys would completely tell you there is no solution
Heck, even most Glass companies, or window repair services would tell you "No, it can't be done " or "I can get you replacement glass, but that'll be it "
There was no solution offered to the current issue.
Just so happens, I like a challenge, and I don't like being told " can't be done "
So here is solid proof from start to finish that you can accomplish Any tasks if you know where to begin and focus your time and effort.
Here at All About That Glass if there is a solution, we try until we exhaust all leads.
I can't take all of the credit for this rebuild,
Along the way I met some Amazing People, without one particular, I never would have pulled this off.
Chad Hiesler is a Wood Working Wizard. H&H Custom Cabinetry
I had originally met Chad when he called upon me to cut some glass for a Custom Gun Cabinet he was fabricating for a father day gift for one of his customers.
When I seen this gun cabinet I was blown away.
this thing was beautiful and it was completely custom and built from scratch.
It takes real passion and creativity to make something that beautiful from nothing with your hands and a vision.
I brought my project to Chad as a last ditch hail Mary attempt to get this wooden casement window either rebuilt, or refurbished enough to be able to accept glass so that I could make my customer happy.
Everyone told her No, and I'll be darned if I was gonna fail .
Chad not only did it, he did it with PERFECT precision.
Chad not only showed up, he showed out!
Without him this entire project fell apart to nothing.
He worked all night on putting this window together to help me to deadline, true hard work and dedication to the project and when I say this window is perfect, it's the best replication I've ever seen.
I not only gained an awesome friend with Chad and his dog Luke.
But I also gained a great asset that I can lean on in the custom woodworking industry, I assure you he's got all my business from now on.
Chad , Thank you brother.
Lastly, and most importantly,
Katie McGee thank you for trusting me through All the Hardships and hurdles this project tossed our way.
It was a definite headache at times due to unforseen issues.
But together, we made it through it .
It was such a a pleasure working with you.
And I'm so Glad that we were able to get this project done for you !
God bless
