Hayes Window Restoration

Fall is when a little window care goes the furthest. 🍁

Every winter, Minnesota puts old windows to the test. Small things like cracked putty or peeling paint on a sill are much easier to catch before the snow flies than after it melts.

Most of this list you can do yourself. When you find something bigger, like drafts that won’t quit, glazing putty that’s falling apart, or cracked glass, that’s where our team comes in. We weatherstrip, reglaze, repair glass, and build custom wood storm windows for old homes across Minneapolis and St. Paul. Our combination storms even let you switch from glass to screen from inside, no ladder needed.

Save this for your fall to-do list, and schedule a free consultation at hayeswindows.com ✨

This is part one of our talk with Mariah, a St. Paul homeowner and prominent Twin Cities realtor who believes in preserving homes. Listen in for Mariah’s take. ✨

We love hearing these stories in a homeowner’s own words, and conversations like this one are a big part of why we do this work across the Twin Cities. Stay tuned for part two!

Thank you for sharing your story, Mariah! Thinking about restoring your own windows? Head to hayeswindows.com to learn more about our process and how we work.

We've been busy with site work and wanted to drop a few photos of just a small sample of what we've been working on lately. Great projects, great clients, and great people on this team!

Steve Jordan, author of The Window Sash Bible, Window Preservation Alliance member, and all around talented preservationist, had some well-deserved time in the spotlight on a local news show in Rochester, NY. This is a longer take, but worth the time if you're interested in hearing from Steve and more generally about window down restoration.

On this week's Walk With Me, News 8's Theresa Marsenburg is joined by window preservationist Steve Jordan.

Big delivery today! 🙌 Accoya lumber for our custom wood storm windows just arrived.

We use Accoya because of its incredible durability and rot resistance. Our storm windows are built to last, just like the homes we work on.

Stay tuned as we turn this stack of lumber into custom storm windows. 🪚🔨 🪟

What a week! We've officially wrapped up a fantastic first onboarding week for our newest team members: Maggie, Mandy, and Zach. From deep diving into our core processes to getting hands on with glass repair, sash cord repair, and sash sanding, these three have hit the ground running. We couldn't be more impressed with the energy and talent they're bringing to the crew. I want to add a huge shout out to Jonah, Evan, Janet, and David for taking the time to mentor, train, and share their expertise. Our onboarding is only as strong as the people leading it, and you crushed it this week. We're excited to have these fine people on board as we gear up for another busy season!
