The windows are ninety — the attitude matches
The casement and double-hung windows of the estates were the handwork of their era:
- Every opening measured at three points: there are no identical windows in a 1920s house.
- Mounting into the wood of the frame or into a stud — century-old plaster around the openings is not for anchors.
- The wood stays visible: blinds go inside the opening; casings and muntins are part of the house and stay uncovered.
- Floor-length drapes under tall ceilings — rods into studs; heavy textile forgives no sagging.
- Solar filters for rooms with collections: the San Gabriel sun fades books and paintings alike — a filter protects without killing the light.
Closets and doors
Closet systems: estate bedrooms are spacious and the ceilings tall — systems go up full height; anchoring into studs through lath is our specialty.
Doors — up to three per visit at one price: we adjust century-old doors at the hinges and strike, and we rebuild and preserve the original hardware — 1925 brass will outlast the reproductions if someone helps it along.
