Vintage Woodworks is an exceptional company to deal with! Their customer service is outstanding and we are very happy with the craftsmanship of their products. We purchased a wood thermal casement and wood storms for our 1930 home. All beautiful!
The process was smooth and very quick - they even recommended a top-notch installer! How lucky we are to have them in Victoria as an option for plastic windows and custom woodworking!

Vintage measured and made and installed wooden storm windows on my 1920 house in Fairfield. I knew the rooms were drafty but the difference when the storms were installed was amazing. Now I feel warm and snug. The storms are also beautiful and fit the character of the house perfectly.

Two double hung sashes in my heritage house had been removed long ago and I wanted to replace them. Vintage Woodworks was very competitive in their pricing. And unlike their competitors they were completely agreeable to customizing the work to meet my needs, including building the sashes to fit the existing jamb, ensuring the new sashes matched some of our existing sashes in other windows, and incorporating our stained glass. Rusty was very patient in working through the details with us, and the amount of time he and the rest of the team spent on designing and building these 2 sashes was truly

When we became empty-nesters 8 years ago, my husband and I stumbled upon a sweet little 2-bedroom Tudor cottage for sale on a dreamy country lane in Oak Bay, short on square footage but long on 1930s’ charm: vaulted beamed ceilings, arched doorways, textured plaster walls, and lovely diamond-paned leaded glass windows. Being the sort who’d rather spend our days in the company of William Morris than Mike Miller, we could not resist. We bought it and moved in. Then the hidden problems started to creep in: rats in the attic, water in the basement, and rot around those lovely windows. We dealt

This is a great company to deal with. I had them make a sash window into which they would have to install a stained glass window that I was having made. They liased with the glass artist to ensure the measurements were perfect and they provided the name of a very competent and professional young man (Sean Nowak) who installed the completed window. The workmanship on the window was excellent; I have a 1912 home and it looks completely authentic.
The whole process at Vintage was very professional - from managing the project to producing a high quality product to following up with a satisfaction

I found them on a Google search. They came and looked at my old windows... and explained to me how they worked. They also shared the local history about my stained glass...
Talk about craftsmanship... wow... I purchased a bunch of the custom storm windows for my 1913 home... and now that it is the middle of winter, I can attest to how much they have improved the heat retention on the windows in question.
Quality fit and finish. Superb work and the result I was looking for! And you can hardly tell they are there!
Thanks Vintage!
I highly recommend them if you are considering upgrading your old

I've had custom milled trim made by Vintage Woodworks a few times. The product and the service has always been excellent. Their business is geared towards custom milling, so don't expect to "buy it off the shelf". There's is a perfect example of the added value that you get with small business. Working with their staff, they assisted in getting me the perfect profile and material for what I was doing. I wish I had more opportunity to use their services!
