Ready to move beyond the basics? This hands-on workshop focuses on the practical skills homeowners can use to maintain and extend the life of their historic wood windows.
Working with the NOLA Wood Windows team, you’ll learn how to safely remove and reinstall window sashes for rope replacement, install spring bronze weatherstripping to improve energy efficiency, properly secure and seal a non-operable upper sash while preserving the original window, and make minor repairs using common wood fillers and epoxy products.
Designed for homeowners who want to become more confident in caring for their own windows, this workshop emphasizes practical techniques, preservation-minded decision-making, and the routine maintenance that helps historic windows perform for decades to come.
Please note: This class is designed for owners of historic houses to learn skills they can use to maintain their homes. Preservation professionals, please see the NOLA Wood Windows website for upcoming offerings.
Historic Core Scholarships
We believe preservation education should be accessible to everyone. For all of the PRC’s fee-based programs, we reserve a portion of seats for Historic Core Scholarships, providing free registration for community members who are stewards of historic structures (built prior to 1976) and who otherwise might not be able to participate.
Paid registration fees support the Preservation Resource Center’s educational programs and help us keep them accessible to our community.
Need a Historic Core Scholarship? Select the scholarship option when registering. No explanation or documentation is required.
