Fort Greene wraps around its namesake park with some of Brooklyn’s most distinguished blocks of Italianate and Neo-Grec brownstones. Streets like South Portland Avenue, Carlton Avenue, and Washington Park hold rows of nineteenth-century homes with high stoops, ornate cornices, and deep parlor-floor windows that give the neighborhood its stately rhythm. Built largely between the 1850s and the early 1900s, these houses were crafted for elegance rather than energy efficiency. Their tall double-hung sashes and Bay Windows are architectural treasures, but original glass and worn weatherstripping mean rising heating bills and chilly parlors. Homeowners here want to preserve the streetscape while bringing comfort into the twenty-first century.
We replace windows in a way that honors Fort Greene’s landmark architecture while delivering real energy performance. Our wood-interior windows feature historically accurate muntin and sash profiles, custom-matched to your home’s period, and we shepherd every project through the full Landmarks Preservation Commission review including drawings and mock-up samples. Each installation pairs a period-correct exterior with modern multi-pane glass and tight weatherstripping, so your brownstone keeps its character and finally holds its heat.
We will walk your home, photograph the existing window details, and design replacements that pass landmarks review and lower your heating costs.
