Marc is the owner and President of Bagala Window Works. He started his preservation journey twenty-five years ago, learning to make windows and doors energy efficient with Accurate Metal Interlocking Weatherstrip. Expanding on this nearly-lost trade, he picked the brains of every preservationist he could find, to learn everything he could about architectural preservation and historic windows and doors. Now, Marc likes to say, “I’ve never met a window I couldn’t restore,” and he feels very fortunate that so many people over the years have allowed him to restore their original windows. Marc realizes he cannot save all the windows in the world that need saving, so now he teaches others what he knows, vicariously preserving windows through them.

For as long as I can remember, I have always been fascinated with Windows & Doors. I have fond memories of fiddling with the original windows and doors in my parents’ 1920s Tudor. In the late 80’s I attended architectural school and found that so many of my projects revolved around the importance of windows and doors in both contemporary and traditional architecture. For over 20 years after graduation I had the privilege of working with the owners of more than 50 cottages and estates, many of whom shared my passion for custom windows and doors. It was there that I acquired the knowledge and experience needed to perform my current duties as Director of Marketing at Reilly Windows & Doors. Being a small company, my responsibilities oftentimes take me outside the world of marketing, and back into the world of architectural design, where I am often asked to partner on the design and development of traditional yet innovative fenestrations for some of the greatest architects in the world.

Jim Turner, owner of Turner Restoration specializes in the restoration of wood and steel windows.

He is sought out by organizations across the Midwest and southern areas of the United States as a consultant, presenter and trainer on window restoration techniques.

Jim was instrumental in the restoration of the original store front at the Richmond CenterStage© in Richmond, Virginia.

Since 1988, Ron has specialized in preserving and restoring historic structures. During a break in college he became the apprentice of Bob Thomas - Stone Mason. Mr. Thomas taught Ron pride in his work and craftsmanship. In 1990 Ron started a decorative paint company, Custom Paint; whose specialty was decorative painting and plaster repair in New York City. Working as a subcontractor with Theatrical Props Inc., doing general and theatrical contracting, much of the work was in commercial showrooms and restaurants. In 1998 Ron moved to Vermont and decided to further utilize his varied experiences in preservation/restoration by creating Wanamaker Restoration. Historic preservation contracting incorporates all of his previous experiences and allows him to continue learning and perfecting his skills.
