Finding A Future in the Past

2014

Ty McBride grew up in the home-building business. He started cleaning up home-building sites in 2001 and, over the next 14 years, filled many roles in the family business. However, restoring a historic home in Oklahoma City’s Mesta Park in 2014 changed everything. The house introduced Ty to window restoration and how to use epoxy. Over the next two years, Ty continued to research, test, and learn from preservation professionals across the US.

2016

Ty left the family building business and launched his first wood rot repair company. He opened Wood Window Rescue with his wife, April, in January of 2016. It was evident from the start how great the demand was for repairing old windows across Oklahoma City. The Wood Window Rescue mission was “We Save the Future By Preserving the Past.”

2017

2017 was the year when momentum had begun to build. Ty and the wood rot repair company team spent most of the year filming a pilot for HGTV and restoring vintage windows in Oklahoma City’s historic neighborhoods. In September, Morgan Reinart, Ty’s brother-in-law, joined the team as operations manager to improve systems.

2018

The episode featuring Ty’s wood rot repair company aired in the fall of 2018, and it expanded the awareness and opportunities for Wood Window Rescue. The company was getting calls to expand into new markets and services. On one of these calls, the seeds for Preservan were planted. A homeowner challenged Ty to save a rotting wood window that was only 12 years old. The team was able to repair the window and save the owner thousands!

2020

It wasn’t until the spring of 2020 when Ty and Morgan began rethinking what Wood Window Rescue should be. Limited by covid-19 travel restrictions, the team started specializing in small epoxy repairs in their neighborhood. This included wood door repair, wood siding repair, and other building wood repairs.

2021

Over the next year, the team focused on efficiency, sustainability, and technician training. Out of this, a new wood rot repair company named Preservan was born. A convenient, affordable, and sustainable alternative to replacement. The company will repair wooden windows, doors, and more of wood rot, with industry-leading epoxy technology.

2022

In the fall of 2022, Preservan launched as a franchise system at the annual Window Preservation Alliance Conference. Ty, April, and Morgan are fully committed to equipping entrepreneurs across the USA to repair rather than replace and to save the future by preserving the past.
