Over the last 40 years, Stephen C. Marshall "The Historic House Guy", has repaired thousands of traditional double-hung wood windows. We perform expert restoration of fixed and double-hung wood window sashes from the 18th, 19th and early 20th centuries. We serve the state of Connecticut only. When our work is complete, your historic wood windows will operate like they did when new. They will raise smoothly, lock securely and be energy efficient. By installing high tech weather stripping and storm windows (interior or exterior), we will enable your historic windows to exceed the thermal performance of a modern replacement window. We can restore one window at a time, or those of an entire house, with minimum disruption to living spaces and routines. Should your project require incidental carpentry repairs or reproduction of historic millwork or window sashes, rest assured our long experience will enable us to provide sound, faithful work, identical to the originals. Your historic wood window sashes can work like new again. Call Stephen C. Marshalll, LLC "The Historic House Guy", and we'll talk about your traditional window restoration project.

For The Swan Company owner, Carol Hanson, it all began in 1979 with the purchase of an 1876 Italianate row house on Golden Gate Avenue in San Francisco. "It had picture rail molding, but the only place that carried the appropriate hangers (Woolworth's) went out of business before I got there. So I said 'Ok, I can do this myself'. Figuring that I wasn’t the only person that would miss Woolworth, I ran a very tiny ad in Victorian Homes Magazine. That describes the birth of the 'Picture Hanging Paraphernalia'. What came next was the picture rail molding. In 1989, we began construction of a new old house using mostly architectural salvage. That’s when I stumbled on 'Gesso' picture rail molding. By some miracle I found enough at a salvage yard to do our entire house. But I was in love with it and wanted to share it with others. I used scrap pieces on my website to display my picture rail hooks. Big mistake…as people thought I had it for sale, and I ended up disappointing a lot of them. But that’s when my quest began to learn as much as I could about it. It led me on a long (and many times disappointing) road, but I just couldn’t get it out of my mind. So now, a mere 25 years later, I am able to offer the world authentic Gesso Picture Rail Molding. Yes the real thing…plaster on wood and, best of all, it’s made in the USA".
