Window Restoration
Tiffany Stained Glass, Ltd. has over forty years in the field of stained glass window restoration. Our experience is extensive, and covers a wide range of disciplines. Careful attention is placed upon the precise duplication of the original techniques and materials to ensure a perfect match and conservation of the original’s value.
Wood framing restoration cannot be ignored in the scope of specifications for restoration. Our custom millwork can replace damaged structural parts, and our wood consolidation techniques can preserve existing framing where structural concerns are not a primary need.
Consider adapting your vintage stained or beveled glass window into a new decorative art piece for the home or business. We have many options for decorative re-purposing of antique art pieces that can make a stunning addition to your interiors.
