Stained & Leaded Glass Restoration
Original stained and leaded glass inserts are carefully restored panel by panel, or fabricated new to match a historic pattern when the originals are beyond saving.
Custom stained glass, pattern-matched
What's Included
The scope of work
- Panel-by-panel inspection of leaded and stained glass inserts
- Re-leading of loose, cracked or failing cames
- Replacement of individual broken art-glass pieces to match color and texture
- Custom fabrication of new panels matching an existing pattern
- Reinforcement of large panels for long-term stability
- Reinstallation into the original steel frame
The Benefits
Why this matters
- Preserves a decorative feature that can't be replicated by a standard replacement window
- Protects a piece of the home's original architectural character and resale value
- Stabilizes panels before small cracks become total losses
- Matches new work seamlessly to what's original, pane by pane
Common Problems
Signs you might need this
Bulging or sagging panel
A sign the lead came has stretched and needs reinforcement or re-leading.
Cracked individual glass pieces
Often repairable in place without remaking the whole panel.
Loose, rattling panel
Usually means the perimeter lead or the frame seal has failed.
How It Works
The process
1
Assess
Document the pattern, colors, and condition of every piece.
2
Disassemble
Carefully remove damaged sections without harming the rest of the panel.
3
Restore
Re-lead, replace, or fabricate glass to match the original.
4
Reinstall
Seat the restored panel back into its steel frame securely.
