Frequently Asked Questions
My antique cast iron radiator needs work. What is your restoration process?
Our process is thorough and tailored to preserve your radiator's integrity. We start by safely removing old paint and rust through stripping and sandblasting at our Lawrence workshop. Next, we apply a high-quality primer and a durable finish, chosen from our selection of over 1,200 options. The final step is reassembly and pressure testing to ensure it operates safely and efficiently, ready to heat your home for decades to come.
Can you build a radiator cover that also provides extra storage or seating?
Absolutely. A specialty of ours is designing custom enclosures that are both functional and beautiful. We can create pieces that seamlessly integrate with your home's decor, whether it's a traditional Victorian cover or a modern cabinet. Many of our designs serve a dual purpose, such as a sturdy window seat with hidden storage or a stylish shelving unit, effectively concealing the radiator while adding valuable utility to your space.
I'm in Somerville and my older radiator system has frozen pipes in winter. Can you help?
While we don't perform emergency thawing services, a properly maintained and restored cast iron radiator system is less prone to such issues. Our restoration work includes pressure testing to identify and repair weak points, and our custom enclosures can be designed with proper ventilation to promote consistent heat circulation, which helps prevent pipes in the immediate vicinity from freezing. For active frozen pipe emergencies, we recommend contacting a licensed, local HVAC technician immediately.
