Window Restoration?

[cidley69]

Are there any companies that do window restoration?

We have older wood windows, that were high quality when new, and still look decent. The thermal seals are all still good, no fogging, only issue is some weather strips need to be replaced, tracks need to be cleaned and lubed, new silicone required, some small window trim pieces are loose (on the window itself, not the casing around window). Could use a coat of varathane on the interior wood parts.

Any suggestions on a company that could service old windows, and not just try to sell me new ones?

I don't have a direct answer, but it bears mentioning that if the exterior casings on wood windows need painting, there's almost nothing that can be done to get paint/finish to stick to them again. Once they're done, they're done. If someone tells you they can refinish them and it will last longer than a couple years, see if they'll warranty it (I bet they don't).
