Olde Bostonian

Anthony and his team are the best. Restored 13 windows from 1743 and they came out beautifully. He went above and beyond for excellent customer service and helped us even a year after the windows were (re)installed! Highly recommend and tell everyone about Olde Bostonian.

Extremely professional, windows look like new and open and close like new. Really happy we didn't install replacement windows.

I interacted with Anthony. He was always very responsive on email or his cell. Olde Bostonian offered the best price and I was very pleased with their work. Our windows were striped of the lead paint (not encapsulated), all of the pulley systems were replaced with chains. Windows look beautiful. Almost like new! They were also very accommodating, as our windows were in their shop for almost a year as our construction process was delayed.

We had purchased a new condo and were planning to close with a week to do repairs/upgrades prior to welcoming new renters.  Olde Bostonian was able to fit us in/accommodate our schedule by having their crew come out on a Sunday to fix the windows, which weren't up to code since they didn't have locks and didn't open/close properly.  The crew did the work in about half a day and cleaned up nicely afterwards.  The only complaint I have is that I paid with a check on the day the work was done, but they later double charged me using the credit card I had given them for the deposit.  Then it took almost a week to get the credit card charge reversed.  Otherwise I had a great experience.

Overall, the quality of the work was very good and the price was quite reasonable.
It took a couple of months to get the work done however - much longer than they had told us.  There were also some problems initially with what they did.  They came back and fixed the problems without any fuss, and the final product was excellent.  It was still a little annoying to have to call them back.

The performed the work as promised on time. They are very knowledgeable about period piece replacement and restoration
of doors, fireplace mantels, etc.
A really great place to check out if you are looking to restore or replace woodwork in your older home.

Olde Bostonian picked up the piece, cleaned it, repainted, and delivered.  There was a delay for further cleaning prior to painting, but we are very happy with the final result.

We were very satisfied with every phase of the process, from the initial meeting and estimate, to the removal and installation of our beautifully restored windows. It is a family business, and we met with the owner's son, Anthony, for the estimate. He patiently and clearly explained what to expect and all of our options. We had received two prior estimates, and decided to go with Olde Bostonian because of the price and recommendations from those familiar with the company. Working with Olde Bostonian was uncomplicated, and the work they did for us was performed exactly as described. Anthony's brother Dave performed the installation of our windows after they had been restored off-site, and this phase went as smoothly as did the removal. They did a thorough job cleaning up and we had very little to do when they were through. Our windows look as good as new and, best of all, open and close without effort! They are also much better insulated than before. We recommend having windows removed during the warmer months, however -- we had a few very cold weeks when we had no sashes and only our old storm windows. Olde Bostonian is extremely reliable, the prices are reasonable, and they do top-quality work. We would not hesitate to hire them for another renovation project.

I WAS SURPRISED WHEN THE SON CAME TO PICK UP MY OLD, DOUBLE FRONT DOORS (WITH ANTIQUE GLASS WORTH ABOUT $2,000) IN A PICK UP TRUCK AND WAS TOLD "DON'T WORRY, WE DO THIS ALL THE TIME. IF SOMETHING DOES HAPPEN, WE ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE OF COURSE." LUCKILY, NOTHING HAPPENED TO THEM, EVEN THOUGH THEY WERE IN THE BACK OF THE TRUCK WITH NO PROTECTION WHATSOEVER. THEY DID A GOOD JOB OVERALL OF STRIPPING AND REPAIRING, AND I WAS TOLD THEY WOULD BE COMPLETELY PAINT READY. WHEN THE DOORS WERE DELIVERED, I WAS UNHAPPY WITH THE FILLING IN OF OLD HOLES, CRACKS. I HAD TO SPEND 2 WHOLE DAYS MYSELF FILLING IN HOLES BEFORE PAINTING. TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE CONSIDERING THE PRICE I PAID, AND WHAT WAS COMMUNICATED TO ME. THE COMPANY LACKS GOOD COMMUNICATION OVERALL. I FOUND THE SON (WHO WAS MY CONTACT) TO BE COMPLETELY ARROGANT AND PUSHY. IF I RAN THE COMPANY, I WOULD NOT HAVE HIM INTERACT WITH CUSTOMERS BECAUSE OF HIM, I WOULD NOT HIRE AGAIN, AND TRUST ME, I HAVE 25 WINDOWS TO HAVE STRIPPED/REPAIRED.
