Raven Historic Window Restoration works out of Chestnut Hill, focused on restoring old wood windows rather than replacing them — the kind of careful, historically-appropriate repair that older homes around Boston often need. The one detailed account on file, a 2022 Google review, is glowing: the customer credited "Will and his team" with historic-window craftsmanship they said set the shop apart, and pointed other homeowners toward it for custom window work. The Better Business Bureau separately grades the company A+, though it isn't a BBB-accredited business and its page shows no other published reviews or complaints; BBB also lists it as five years in business. One thing worth checking before hiring: the state registry shows the company's Massachusetts home improvement contractor registration, HIC 206110, as expired, so it's worth asking directly about its current licensing status. With only a single public review on record, it's a good idea to ask for recent references or photos of finished window work directly, especially on a historic property where the craftsmanship is the whole point.
