Wood Windows

What made this project unusual was that it is rare for someone to hire us to basically reinstall windows installed by others so long ago.

Scott & Bruce take a break to allow a photo op. Western Architectural was hired by the Chown Pella Homeowners Association to determine why all these Pella windows had crowned sills. It was determined that the windows had been ill supported when installed in 1995.

So we were hired to correct the supporting components (shims) beneath the windows. As it would happen, we were on-site in 1995, installing the replica wood windows on the south and west elevations, when these windows were originally installed by a company who is no longer in business.

This side of the building never had any windows originally, because it abutted another building that was torn down to create a parking lot. The openings in the brick wall were then cut, steel lintels were installed for header support. And Pella’s wood-clad double-hung windows were installed by another sub for Baugh Construction.
