"You deserve windows that enhance you home's beauty and comfort. That's why over the last 17 years, I've made it my mission to help Portland homeowners, just like you, restore their traditional wood windows to their former glory."

Geoffrey Halsey Signature

Founder & Master Craftsman

I've likely been in your neighborhood meticulously restoring your neighbors’ traditional wood windows and would like to introduce myself.

My passion for vintage wood window restoration began in 2001 when I purchased a modest 1925 cottage in Portland's historic Woodstock neighborhood.

As an ambitious new homeowner and skilled carpenter, this personal renovation project shaped the future of my career.

During the meticulous process of restoring my home's original wood windows, I uncovered two critical insights:

Too often, homeowners replace original wood windows with inferior alternatives, often due to a lack of awareness about restoration options.

The potential of properly restored vintage windows to increase comfort and enhance beauty

This realization sparked my passion for window renovation and led to the founding of East Portland Sash. For nearly two decades, I've been preserving Portland's architectural heritage through expert sash window restoration.
