A lot of folks in certain Pasadena neighborhoods live in historic homes. Keeping the windows that are original on these homes are vital to maintaining the historical integrity of, not just the individual house, but the entire neighborhood. Window repair in Pasadena is absolutely necessary because most of the historic windows in the historic houses of the historic neighborhoods are suffering from a state of disrepair. Opening and closing windows can be seriously frustrating, but the alternative – replacing all your windows with newer ones – can damage the inherent charm of your house, not too mention it is much more expensive than a simple window repair or restoration.

When your house was being built, so many years ago, these windows were originally given special attention in order to match the specific architectural aesthetics of your house and contribute to its overall appeal. To lose this is tantamount to slapping your historical house – and your historical neighborhood – in the face. It is also a slap in the face to the great trees that were felled to provide the dense, durable wood that has withstood the test of time. This wood was specifically used so as to last for a hundred years. Most of them have already lasted that long, and with a little window repair and restoration, can certainly and quite easily last a hundred more; all this while replacement windows were designed to last not much longer than a single decade.

Replacement windows are shoddily built with planned obsolescence in mind, so as to require replacement and to keep you doing so every 10 – 15 years or so. They are built from cheap plastics, springs, and strings, with double pane windows that get cloudy over time. Is a cloudy window what you want? As cheaply as they are made, they are super expensive. The cost to replace all your lovely old windows far exceeds the cost for merely repairing or restoring them. And with a little maintenance, they last longer too. And on top of all this, repairing or restoring your old windows will make them open and close like new. With modern weather stripping and weatherproofing applied to them, they will be just as energy efficient as brand new replacement windows – remaining historically correct and at a fraction of the cost of replacement.
