Lorna Janus Wilson

We had 101-year-old windows rehabbed, and their drafty/rattlely metal storm windows replaced. Each step of the process was efficient and friendly. Communication and expectation setting was great. Most importantly, our windows now insulate beautifully for both sound and drafts, and the painted frames of the new storm windows have upgraded the character and style of our home. A great experience from start to finish

Josh Tubbs

The Hayes Window team did a great job restoring our 100+ year old windows back to their original glory. They were a pleasure to work with and their attention to detail is impressive. We can't wait for the first warm day where we can open all these restored windows and enjoy the cool breeze.

Amy Melcher

We had Hayes out to restore ten windows in the sunroom of our 101 year old house. They replaced the original sash cords (some broken, some very worn), replaced a broken window pane, fixed the window locks, and added bronze weatherstripping all around. We highly recommend them and plan to use them on another project. Thanks Hayes!

Virginia Conklin

We needed to repair a couple of original windows in our 100 year-old home and recently hired Hayes Window Restoration to do the work. Alex met with us for an estimate and gave us an honest assessment of which windows needed repair. He did a very thorough investigation of each window. We were able to schedule the work to be done soon afterwards, and all the work was completed in one day! The technician, Steve, did a great job and was very knowledgeable about vintage windows. We appreciate the care and time the team took to help us with restoring our windows, and we were very happy with the price! Highly recommend.

Nate Rock

We live in a hundred+ year old home in South Minneapolis. A lot of these homes still have the original windows. This fall, we noticed a couple windows had extreamly cold air flowing in. One of them, the panes of glass had become separated from the frame completely. The other had a hairline crack in the glass. Leah and the team at Hayes Window Restoration were able to get both extracted, repaired and re-installed in a relatively short amount time. All od this happening during the coldest part of the year as well! If you want to have some dedicated professionals who will help restore your aging windows, look no further than Hayes Window Restoration.
