Cape May is one of the most strictly historic-preserved towns in the country — most of the city is a National Historic Landmark District. Replacement windows on historic structures require COA review and typically must use restoration glass, period-correct sash divisions, and either original or reproduction hardware.
Our Cape May work is rare but high-value — coastal Victorian restorations, B&B reglaze projects, and the occasional impact-rated installation for owners hardening against nor'easter exposure. We schedule Cape May trips with a 3-4 day lead time and quote travel separately.
