Historic Window Restoration That Keeps Your Home's Original Character Intact

Indianapolis and Central Indiana’s trusted window restoration specialists since 1998. Licensed, insured, and experienced with historic district and covenant requirements, so your windows keep their original charm and pass inspection.

Historic homes weren’t built to a modern spec. Every sash, muntin, and pane has its own dimensions, its own wear pattern, its own history.

Since 1998, Window Consultants of Indiana has restored windows across Indianapolis, Carmel, Fishers, Zionsville, and the rest of Central Indiana, working with homeowners, contractors, and property managers who need the job done in a way that respects the original craftsmanship rather than a one-size-fits-all replacement.

We’re licensed and insured, and we’ve restored windows on properties that answer to historic district guidelines and HOA covenants, including institutional and commercial historic buildings, not just houses.

Since 1998

Why Historic Homeowners Choose WCI

WPA

Many historic districts require original windows to be repaired and preserved rather than replaced, and even when replacement is allowed, it often must match the original in material, profile, and appearance.

Our restoration process reflects that reality. We repair and rebuild the windows you already have, matching original dimensions and detailing, so the result meets covenant requirements and preserves your home’s character.

From homeowners

One of the biggest questions we hear from homeowners in historic neighborhoods:

"Will I even be allowed to replace these, or do I have to restore them?"
Our Process

What's Involved in a Restoration

01

On-site assessment

We inspect every window’s frame, sash, glass, and hardware, and flag anything a historic district would care about.

02

Repair over replacement, wherever possible.

Decayed wood, failed glazing, broken sash cords, and painted-shut sashes get repaired, not replaced.

03

Original-match rebuilding.

Where a full rebuild is needed, we match the original profile, dimensions, and materials.

04

Final function check.

Every restored window opens, closes, and locks the way it should.

“We are beyond happy with the service we received. Our windows were over 100 years old, wouldn’t open and were covered in lead paint. Thanks to WCI we now have safe functional windows that are beautiful on our Victorian home.”

“Brett Shubert and WCI have been our Church’s go-to company for many Restoration projects interiorly and exteriorly. We have a historic building and it can be challenging to find the quality craftsmanship and attention to detail that it requires.”

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I have to restore my windows instead of replacing them if I live in a historic district?

Many historic districts and neighborhood covenants require original windows to be repaired rather than replaced, or place strict limits on what a replacement window can look like. We can tell you what your specific district requires and restore your windows to meet it.

Yes. We repair and rebuild sashes and frames using materials and techniques that match the original construction, and we can source period-appropriate glass and hardware when needed.

In most cases, yes. Repairing what you have costs less than a full replacement, and it avoids the cost and disruption of custom-sized replacement units that historic homes often require.

Yes. We’ve restored windows on historic commercial and institutional properties in Central Indiana, including City of Carmel’s Historic Civic Center.
