We are currently working with Re-View Historic Window and Door Replacement of Kansas City, Missouri, on the Minnesota State Capitol Building in Saint Paul, designed by Cass Gilbert and completed in 1905. They have restored 28 pairs of the original wood French Doors, and have nearly completed the installation of 240 double-hung wood replacement windows to match the 1905 white pine windows that were discarded in the early 1970's in favor of 'modern' aluminum, now deteriorated. Re-View has done a wonderful job in both the fabrication and installation of the new windows and the restoration of the existing wood frames and weight pockets. It is my understanding that they have also done a number of steel and bronze window restorations and replacements around the country. Their website is very informative. If the project is large enough they would probably be interested, and would undoubtedly do a very good job.

John Seekircher is the only guy I know who repairs steel casements. He is in New York but very good. He fixed all of the windows in my 1928 house.

Colleagues-
We are undertaking facade restoration in a 1926 apartment building in Washington, DC. There are two window openings with original Hope's metal casement windows. We are looking for a specialty contractor to evaluate, price, and repair the windows. Does anyone know any candidates for this task in our area?
