Materials That Stand the Test of Time
At Austin Historical, we’re committed to delivering the highest quality, historically accurate window and door restorations throughout the Tampa Bay area—backed by real-world product testing. As a trusted leader in the restoration of Tampa’s historic wood and steel windows, we don’t just rely on manufacturer claims. We conduct our own long-term tests, applying primers, paints, epoxies, and sealants to wood samples and exposing them to years of Florida’s natural weather conditions. This ensures every product we use is proven to perform, protect historic materials, and deliver lasting value. By combining time-tested craftsmanship with select modern innovations, we help Tampa property owners make confident restoration decisions that honor the past and stand the test of time.
