The wood and metal windows of the Merrit building at 761 S Broadway required extensive restoration due to neglect. Constructed in 1915, their condition varied significantly. Some were in excellent shape, while others were in poor condition, or entirely missing and in need of replacement.
Our Custom Millwork division fabricated several wood windows, including recreating all of the large windows on the second floor from scratch. We also produced custom millwork, recreating and installing all of the interior wood window moldings. These were all Oak to perfectly match the original.
For the steel windows, we stripped off the old paint before repainting, and either restored the existing hardware, or installed new custom-made hardware. Restoring the old hardware involved boiling the piece to remove the paint, and then polishing it back to its former glory.
