Historic Restoration
Overview
Hi-Rise restores and installs windows on historic and heritage buildings across Winnipeg and Manitoba. A building from another era wasn't built to modern standard dimensions. Treating it like one leaves the finished work looking wrong even when it's technically sound. We match sightlines, trim profiles, and material to the building's original design. The finished window belongs on the building instead of standing out from it.

Good to know
Heritage window work fails most often when it's treated like a standard replacement job. New stock sizes forced into an old opening. Trim profiles that don't match. Sightlines that read wrong from the street. We measure and plan around what's actually there before ordering or building anything. Where the access itself has to work around original facade details, we plan that in too. It's slower than a standard install — and it's the only way the result looks like it belongs on the building.
