Austin, TX · Historic Window Specialists · OHP Certified
Austin's specialists in historic wood & steel window restoration — artisan techniques and period-correct materials to preserve what your home was built with.
The Barron Difference
Owning a historic home is more than an investment — it's a commitment to the craftsmanship of another era. We focus exclusively on that commitment.
Our craftsmen use artisan time-tested techniques, old-world quality materials, and unrivaled service to bring our clients' historic homes back to life. We research each job like archaeologists — documenting the age of the home, the building style, and the materials used — before we ever touch a window.
We serve Georgetown to San Antonio and are willing to travel anywhere in Texas for the right project.

Learn More ↗Restoration vs. Replacement
Old-growth timber. Hand-cut joinery. Materials that modern windows simply can't replicate. Here's why restoration is almost always the smarter choice.

Original wood windows were cut from old-growth timber with grain density modern lumber cannot match. Properly maintained, they outlast any replacement.

Replacement windows generate massive manufacturing waste and landfill material. Restoration preserves what already exists — the most sustainable choice.

Modern replacement windows fail in 15–20 years. Restored original windows, properly maintained, can last indefinitely — at far lower long-term cost.
