Hoffmeyer's Mill has been manufacturing wood window sash and storm windows since 1906. We are primarily set to machine 1 3/8"or 1 3/4" thickness. The shapers, mortise and tenon machine shave been regularly maintained and as a result we have the capacity to build you new "old" windows. Our experienced carpenters have been making quality work in our mill for over 30 years and were taught by the same who were taught by the same. We have new generations learning the trade and plan to continue making quality products for many years to come. These windows are primarily suited for renovation/restoration market.
Irregular shapes and sizes are not a problems as we are a custom shop that builds to suit each unique application.
Each image below displays work that we have completed. They also each trigger a section that expands to show you more detail about the project.
Gaspe, Quebec
Examples of Accoya windows we made for a building in Pierce Gaspe, Quebec in 2019. Accoya wood is warranteed not to decay for 50 years when used in above grade applications.
Shelton, Connecticut
This historic building in Shelton Connecticut had beautiful arched windows that were badly in need of replacement. The customer removed one of the old windows and shipped it to us so that we could reproduce it as closely as possible. Using 2 1/4" thick African Mahogany as our material, we carefully figured out the appropriate layout, casings, and other embeshments. The stepped arch muntins meant our measurments had to be perfect as any errors would be extremely obvious. The result was, we made these windows like the old ones - except ours were even better!
Bayfield, Ontario
The Bayfield storefront project was challenging but also rewarding. Rather than just mimic the outline of the old window design, we were hired to directly recreate the incredible rounded mouldings that made these windows so unique. Many hours were spent recreating this lovely design and if you ever walk by the store in downtown Bayfield, you'll appreciate the level of detail and precision that went into this historic reproduction. The windows feature low E argon thermal units in order to conserve energy.
