     The month of January saw us very busy restoring and repairing lots of vintage stained, beveled, and leaded glass windows. Most of the stained glass was 90-150 years old. We were working on a home in Marina Del Rey that had been remodeled years ago. The owners installed over 50 stained and beveled glass windows about 50 years ago. Being close to the ocean all those years the windows were not in good condition. They also hadn't been kept up well which exacerbated their condition. We had to stay on a budget so we chose which windows would get the most restoration. The sashes were repaired by others, so we focused solely on the glass. Some of the windows we brought back to the studio while others we were able to repair on site. Fortunately, we didn't need ladders except in one case, so the repairs went faster than anticipated.

          

 

     To repair the clear glass we used restoration glass, and we had very good matches on the stained glass with what we already had in the studio. That's one of the benefits of having been in business for over 50 years. A few of the windows, and a double door was zinc came and had lots of broken pieces. These we brought into the studio and disassembled large portions of them. 

     The end result was a tremendous difference in strength, and vibrance. The owner was thrilled with the results.
