Any recs for home window frame replacement? I’m looking to replace old window frames on my parents’ 1929 property in Glendale. The frames are still the original wood frames but have begun to leak quite a bit during the last week of heavy rain.
Does anyone know of a good contractor who has experience with replacing window frames+waterproofing who won’t overcharge us? Thanks!

There's a biz called Window Restoration And Repair in Los Alamitos that specializes in vintage window repair and replacement. I saw them at a Glendale Historical Society exhibition. Not cheap, but if the original 1929 aesthetic is important to you, I'd call them (562) 493-1590.
Looking to renovate a gorgeous craftsman, and want to keep with the look and feel, but neeeeeed new windows, floor sanding and refinishing, and eventually a total kitchen overhaul. Any ideas on contractors and the such? Thank you!

Window Restoration & Repair in Los Alamitos. Ask for Scott, great honest guy whom is the principal in the small business. He gave a great talk at that Pasadena Heritage workshop. And he is the guy in their booth at the Craftsman weekend event in Pasadena each fall. All my historic windows work smooth as a charm... with two finger operation as they promised me. Watched their crew of 6 guys take over my house over 2 days and restore all of them.

We used Window Restoration & Repair, in Los Alamitos. They specialize in older houses, and were GREAT. They replicated our battered wooden casement windows perfectly and overhauled our double-hung windows. 562.493.1590http://www.window-restoration-repair.com/
