Your restoration isn't complete without the right moldings
for door and window frames and baseboards.
We have a good selection in lots of styles,
dating from the late 1800s to the early 1900s,
all very appropriate for Allentown-area homes.

Participants at our recent workshop held by Bill D'Arcy on how to restore old windows,
and how to decide whether to replace them, asked Bill to provide some of the information
he presented. Here is a list of resources Bill has prepared.
