Whether you’re replacing a single historic window or restoring an entire landmark building, Zeskind’s can help identify the right solution. Our team reviews your project specifications and recommends the best approach based on preservation requirements, budget, lead time, and long-term performance.

We offer a wide selection of historically appropriate wood windows from leading manufacturers, as well as custom-built windows produced in our millwork shop when exact replication is required. We proudly support residential homes, commercial buildings, institutional facilities, and large-scale historic restoration projects throughout the Mid-Atlantic.

Whether your project requires historic steel windows, thermally broken aluminum windows, or custom metal window systems, we work with leading manufacturers that specialize in historically appropriate products. Our team can recommend interior or exterior windows that meet preservation standards while improving energy efficiency and long-term performance.

Historic doors often require much more than standard replacements. Our custom door shop can reproduce virtually any historic wood door using CNC technology and traditional woodworking techniques. We build complete pre-hung door systems designed for historic buildings, including brick and stone buildings with deep jambs, custom mouldings, transoms, and sidelites. If you’d like to preserve existing stained glass or other architectural features, we can seamlessly incorporate them into your new door.

Matching historic trim and moulding is one of our specialties. When an existing profile is available, we can reproduce it by creating custom knives and milling an exact match in our shop. For projects with greater flexibility, our knowledgeable team can help identify the closest existing profile to save time and cost. For larger production runs, we partner with specialty mills to provide competitive pricing, high-volume production, and optional factory priming.

Our capabilities extend far beyond windows, doors, and moulding. We regularly duplicate historic architectural woodwork including stair parts, balusters, newel posts, handrails, cornices, decorative brackets, columns, and other custom millwork. If you have an original piece, we can often recreate it with remarkable accuracy while preserving the character of the building.

Zeskind’s has supplied windows, doors, trim, and custom millwork for hundreds of  Maryland Historic Trust projects. We understand the documentation, product requirements, and strict preservation standards these projects demand. Our team works closely with architects and contractors to help projects stay compliant, on schedule, and ready for approval.

For decades, Zeskind’s has supplied building products for thousands of projects reviewed by Baltimore City’s Commission for Historical and Architectural Preservation (CHAP). We understand the unique requirements of Baltimore’s historic neighborhoods and have extensive experience helping customers meet CHAP guidelines while preserving the architectural integrity of their buildings and maximizing available historic tax credits.

Historic tax credit projects require products that meet detailed preservation standards. Our team understands the documentation and product specifications necessary for federal, state, and local historic rehabilitation programs. Share your plans with us, and we’ll recommend cost-effective solutions that satisfy project requirements while helping keep your restoration on schedule.
