Window repair for the Cooke County
Courthouse was under discussion during this
week’s commissioners court meeting.
Cooke County Maintenance Director Ricky Kerr
said Monday, June 10, that county officials have
been working for “a while now” to get a viable
company to work on the courthouse windows.
In 2017, members
of the court approved
expending up to $30,000
with Weatherford-based
MMI General Contractors
to restore the wood trim
around the courthouse
windows, according to a
previous report by the
Register. That same year,
the county contracted
with MMI to do $60,000 worth of additional work,
County Judge Jason Brinkley said.
“However, only one or two of the windows for
the second phase were completed due to MMI no
longer being available to do the work,” Brinkley
told the Register on Wednesday, June 12. As a
result, only a small portion of the $60,000 budgeted
for the project was actually paid out. “We
attempted to work with them over several months
to have the project continue but were unsuccessful.
Therefore, we sought out other companies that do
historic window restoration on buildings such as
our courthouse.”
Kerr said he found two companies, Hull Millwork
and Frontier Waterproofing Inc., that could do the
job.
Hull Millwork has been in the business for 20
years and has some good references, according to
Kerr.
“This is the best company I’ve found,” Kerr said.
Hull Millwork said it would cost about $188,000
to work on all the windows they think need to be
