- Des Moines owners repairing traditional sash windows
- Worth noticing
- The page says it does not sell replacement windows and calls a stile “done” if it is punk under a knife.
Field notes
The page names Helen Park for cord work and Miguel Estes for screens, then describes checks at the bench and on the sash itself. It draws a boundary around the service: replacement windows are not sold, and a stile judged punk under a knife is considered beyond repair. The listed phone number is (515) 555-0133, which leaves the shop’s operating status unclear from this page alone.
