Stephen Colvin's passion for fine craftsmanship began in the finishing department at Portland's iconic custom furniture workshop, The Joinery, at age 16. At the age of 23 he became a partner in a local contracting company. Now, after 15 years working on other businesses, Stephen has launched The Sashwright Co. as the next evolution of his commitment to helping homeowners restore and improve their homes and fine investment properties as sustainably as possible. At The Sashwright Co., our premium products are matched by our unbeatable customer experience.
Whether you need to replace windows that are beyond repair, adding a new addition onto your home, or building an ADU in the back yard, we can install new windows and doors for you. Windows should not need to be replaced due to design failure. The culture for replacement windows is rooted in planned obsolescence; rip out the old material and send it straight to the landfill, wasting all of the engineering, labor, material and money invested in it. Our mission is to help extend the lifespan of windows and the warranty.
If you care about preserving the character of your home-whatever the era or style of design-restoration, rather than replacement, is the only way to go. Because we can restore the beauty and function of your windows in a way that respects not only the original design, but also the environment. Restoration is hands-down the most environmentally responsible choice when it comes to dealing with damaged or worn windows. I hired Stephen Colvin and his crew to repair sash cords, and make and install storm windows for 12 wood windows on our house.
Newer homes and luxury apartments and condos need love too! At The Sashwright Co., we service any period of housing design with new, restored, or sometimes simple repairs. We want to help you have beautiful windows that function flawlessly AND keep unnecessary materials out of the landfill. Often the best course of action isn't all new windows for a home, but a combination of new and repaired windows. Homes built after 1980 that use wood windows can often benefit from window repair. This is less extensive work (usually) than historic restoration, but still offers an affordable way to extend the life of the windows you have, upgrade their efficiency and function, and do the right thing for the environment.
