Restoration Built for Historic Estates
Belle Meade’s homes are among the most architecturally significant in Middle Tennessee, and their original windows are part of that character. We approach every job here as a restoration, not a replacement pitch, repairing wood frames, matching historic hardware, and preserving the original glass wherever it can be saved.
When cladding, seals, or hardware need work, we repair with materials and techniques that respect the home’s age and detailing rather than introducing something visibly modern.
Matching Old-Growth Lumber and Custom Millwork
Many Belle Meade estates were built with old-growth heart pine or cypress millwork, wood that’s simply denser and more rot-resistant than anything sold today, which is exactly why it’s worth saving. When a section is too far gone, we source comparable dense hardwood and hand-profile it to match the original molding rather than reaching for a stock replacement piece that won’t take stain or paint the same way.
We also see a fair number of custom-sized and arched windows in this area that simply don’t exist in any off-the-shelf replacement line, another reason estate owners here tend to repair rather than replace, since a true custom replacement window can run many times the cost of restoring what’s already there.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can you restore windows on a historic Belle Meade estate?
Yes, historic and estate-level restoration is a core part of what we do, with an emphasis on preserving original materials and detailing.
Do you match period-appropriate hardware?
Wherever possible, we source or match hardware to fit the home’s era and style rather than installing generic modern replacements.
What if only part of the window frame is damaged?
We repair the damaged section specifically, using wood splicing and epoxy consolidation, so the rest of the original frame stays intact.
Can you match custom or arched window shapes?
Yes, we regularly hand-profile replacement wood to match custom millwork and non-standard shapes that don’t exist in any off-the-shelf window line.
