        "text": "Yes, historic window restoration, when done properly, can significantly improve a home's energy efficiency. Much of the energy loss from old windows comes from deteriorated seals, drafts, and poor weatherstripping, not just the single pane of glass. Our restoration process includes meticulous re-puttying, sealing gaps, repairing sashes for a tight fit, and adding new weatherstripping. These improvements, often combined with a high-quality storm window, can reduce drafts and heat loss effectively, making restored windows comparable to or better than many modern double-pane units.",
