L.A. Historic Window Restoration or Replacement F.A.Q's

  • WHAT ARE HPOZ REGULATIONS AND HOW DO THEY AFFECT WINDOW REPLACEMENT?

    Homes in Los Angeles Historic Preservation Overlay Zones (HPOZ) must follow strict design guidelines to maintain architectural integrity. This means replacement windows must match the original style, material, and dimensions. At Tashman Home Center, we provide custom wood windows and detailed documentation to ensure your project is approved by city planning and neighborhood boards.

  • CAN HISTORIC WINDOWS BE MADE ENERGY EFFICIENT?

    Yes. While maintaining the original appearance, we can upgrade historic windows with laminated or Low-E glass that improves insulation and reduces noise. These options provide modern performance without compromising period authenticity.

  • DO I NEED A PERMIT TO REPLACE HISTORIC WINDOWS?

    Most historic properties require permits, and in HPOZ neighborhoods, approval from the local review board is mandatory. We guide you through the permitting process and prepare drawings and specifications to streamline approvals.

  • IS IT BETTER TO RESTORE OR REPLACE HISTORIC WINDOWS?

    Restoration is often possible if the window frames are structurally sound. When damage is beyond repair, replacement with historically accurate wood windows is the best option. Our team evaluates each project and recommends the approach that preserves both the home’s value and its character.
