Historic wood windows were built to last—and to be repaired rather than replaced. In this free introductory class, Valerie and Gus Vides of NOLA Wood Windows will explain what makes them so durable and why preserving them is often the best long-term investment for your home.
Held at the NOLA Wood Windows shop in the Carrollton neighborhood, this session covers the anatomy of a traditional wood window, common causes of deterioration, how to recognize different stages of window condition, and the basic principles of repair and maintenance. You’ll also learn practical dos and don’ts for caring for historic windows and gain tips for evaluating contractors to ensure your windows receive appropriate care.
Whether you’re a new homeowner or simply curious about historic windows, this class provides a practical foundation for understanding, maintaining, and advocating for one of your home’s most important original features.
