Window Woman of New England

Window Woman of New England is a wood-window restoration specialist in Amesbury — Alison Hardy started it in 2003 restoring the windows in her own old house before turning it into a business restoring them for others. The pitch is straightforward: repair a home's original wood windows rather than replace them, and multiple people say it saved them money. The clearest example is a 2024 review from a homeowner who had a batch of historic windows repaired in a previous house — cheaper than replacement, and working well afterward. Reddit threads in r/massachusetts, r/SalemMA and r/centuryhomes independently point century-home owners her way when they're weighing a big full-replacement quote against restoration, one calling her someone who 'knows everyone doing this on the east coast.' There isn't much to flag: only a handful of reviews exist so far, and every account of the actual work is positive, from a 1900 home's original windows to Google reviewers calling the process well-explained. Its Massachusetts home improvement contractor registration is active, and it lists membership in the Window Preservation Alliance. Worth a call if you own an older house and are trying to decide between replacing original windows and having them restored — that's the specific problem people report she solves.
