This is a really reputable place. I have an old Chicago house that's probably about 110 years old…read more I used Chicago Window & Door Solutions to replace wood windows from the 1960s that had stopped working and several vinyl windows (8 years old) that had started to fall apart. I was really mad about the vinyl windows because the former owner had installed them pretty new, but they literally were about to fall out of the wall. We had to lock them to keep them in place. The previous owner had the original windows replaced, but the installer of the vinyl windows did not insulate around the frame and cold air kept leaking in. The wood windows would rattle on a windy day. I found out about Chicago Window & Door Solutions through a recommendation from another contractor who was repairing my original wood windows - he said he wouldn't work with anyone else - so that tells you something! Sue & Greg came out to meet with us, took measurements and talked about our options. They install Marvin windows. Know that they aren't the cheapest option. For that you can go anywhere, but know in about 8 years, you're going to be replacing them. But I found that they listened to what we were looking for - which for me was energy efficiency as a top priority. I liked that there was the chance to get a wooden interior on the windows. It allowed us to match the stain on sill and border opening - so now these windows look like they belong and do not look like replacements. We opted to stain the windows ourselves and they gave suggestions of how to do it. More importantly, they came out twice (next day!) when we had questions/concerns. Justin came to do the install and he removed and installed six windows and fixed a sill in a day and a half - plus he cleaned up after himself! If you've ever had workmen come into your house, you know what a mess they can leave. I am really happy with the new windows. They are beautiful, they are much more energy efficient than what I had and really block out the noise. I live on a two-way street in Chicago & they have made the house much quieter than the windows I had before.

Whitney and the team did a fantastic job refurbishing an old heaven hill whiskey barrel that I had…read morein my living room. I was using it as an extension of my bar. I really liked it, but it was in a sad shape. There was a gooey residue on the barrel that would sometimes leave imprints on peoples clothes if they brushed up against it. And the barrel hoops kept falling down. Chicago fabrications brought the barrel back to life. They did an excellent job sanding and staining the barrel and cleaning up the metal hoops and fastening them so they would no longer slip down the barrel. And all that residue is gone. It looks like a million bucks and I would definitely recommend them for any projects you may be thinking of

This is an important choice for our cities, and our citizens. In our house, we are thrilled to support Tyler & Team.

Not only did her experience and ideas make the project much better, but it was done in less than half the time estimated, with some amazing trivets provided from the scraps as a gift. No doubt that they will be our go-to team for all future projects!

Being a business owner for a couple of decades already I'm accustomed to dealing with clients of…read moreall sorts. I wouldn't say there are bad ones, it's just a matter of approaching them. In this case I was a client requesting replacement of a few old window units in my house. I don't think I'm a bad client but I have bad experience with home remodeling projects so I was curious about this one and a little edgy... just in case. From the beginning I was dealing with Ed, the owner of EDMAR Contractors, very pleasant and knowledgeable person. If you ever had some masonry work done on your property you might know him as well, he's been in construction business since the 80's. Anyways, he came over and checked all the windows that need to be replaced, pointed out a couple major issues with bricks underneath my bay window, and recommended a few window manufacturers. One of them was a company I did some research on before so I decided to pick their product. I got his quote a couple of days later and despite the fact it was slightly higher than an estimate from another contractor, I signed the contract. I took about two weeks to get my windows and installation itself was on a difficult side because of those brick issues that needed to be corrected. I was actually glad that he was able to do everything at once and I didn't have to look for a mason. When the manufacturer's truck delivered the windows one them was cracked but they're local so it was replaced next morning. The crew was very helpful and careful with the flowers my wife was so afraid of losing during the installation. After 2 days of work the windows were all in, bricks repaired, and my dogs happy to enjoy their backyard sanctuary. I just hope that all my clients are as pleased with me as I am with Ed.
