🔥Why Apprenticeship?

America’s historic homes are filled with windows that no one knows how to fix properly anymore.

 

Window Craft isn’t just a repair method—it’s a movement to restore what’s been forgotten.

 

Apprenticeship is how we pass it on.

 

We don’t teach shortcuts. We teach mastery.

We don’t train jobbers. We train artisans.

 

If you’ve got the spark, we’ll fan it into a flame.

How Long Does It Take?

The Window Craft path is designed to take up to four years—but not everyone needs that long.

If you're already a carpenter, finisher, or natural leader, you may fast-track into action within 6–12 months.

 

What matters most isn’t how long it takes. It’s how well you follow the process.

 

We’re not here to waste your time—we’re here to make sure your time counts.

“Some take the long road. Some take the fast lane. Either way, the direction is what matters.”
