Repairing wooden frames around a window can be one of the most easiest window types to repair, it may be time consuming but does not really require anyone technical to do it. As long as you know the basics then most other skills can be picked up as you go along. It can be hard to get anything drastically wrong when repairing a wooden window as it can mostly come down to sanding and staining. If you are taking out vital bits of the windows framed you should ask for help, if you are not confident then you could end up needing a professional anyway. Wooden window frames are more likely to be repaired time and time again without actually replacing them completely. That is one of the joys of using wood instead of a man made material as it can be repaired using techniques that would not work on plastic or aluminium type windows. Preserving your windows before every winter can help keep your windows in great shape and help protect against the bad weather. Windows can come under a lot of strain from the weather especially in the winter so any little will help.
There are some windows that can not be salvaged so will need to be replaced completely. If they are repairable you may need to replace some of the wood and matching the exact colour can be a hard job. Painting or staining the windows are dark colour may be the only option if you can not find the correct colour wood. Most old properties will go with new wooden windows and avoid going for plastic or metal windows all together. Keeping the character of the property is very important in a lot of homes so changing traditional windows can be very detrimental to the property itself.
