Saving Old Windows

Saving Old Windows was founded in 2020 by Andrew Wing, a native of Western North Carolina, with a mission to preserve historic wood windows that are increasingly being replaced at an alarming rate.

Driven by a deep passion for historic architecture and the preservation of traditional trades, Saving Old Windows is dedicated to rescuing and restoring these valuable architectural elements. We believe that no window is ever "too far gone." Through expert techniques and education, we aim to demonstrate that every old window can be saved and cherished for years to come.
