We have worked with JC Lilly a couple of times, with great results each time. A few years ago, Jeanie helped up replace every window in our 1893-built coachhouse (each window had slightly different dimensions) with great results and an easy install. They even came back to cover a warrantied crack in a window a year later at no cost to us. More recently, we worked with Justin to replace our front door and open up a transom window above it. They were able to provide exactly the style and color we were looking for and we're do happy with the results. Their price quotes are normally in the middle range, but I will hire them over others because they provide great products and will always follow up with any issues later on. read more

They were very responsive and when we understood that the work we needed was not the type that JC Lilly covered, they referred us to several other companies that might be able to assist us with what we needed done. The referral was great to work with as well. This says a lot to me about how they run their business overall and I will definitely reach out to them in the future. read more

This company came out to do a job on my NEIGHBORS home, they left a mess I had nails all over my drive way and garbage was blowing all over our street from them, I picked most everything up, but just wanted to ask if they could run a magnet through my rocks ( yes we do occasionally drive on them) I reached out to Silva 4 times before I was contacted back. She was pleasant at first then called me back and told me her worker said he was told by the gentleman here that they did not have to worry about there mess he would take care of it, he didn't want them on his property... 1st off there was no man here ( no one was home at all...) 2nd one of the guys was already on the property picking up the big pieces of trash they let go. She said well he did run his magnet over your driveway, There's NO possible way he did with all the nails that were left and we also have 3 cameras that face our driveway 1 points straight down it one across it and the other the front and the only time it picked anyone up was when he was here picking up the big mess! She did tell me they would be here the next morning between 7-8 am I am still waiting for them but when I called her to ask if there was an eta she blew up on me, was Cussing me out and Hung up on me, Again this was all caught on camera, when I told her I am leaving a review. I have been NOTHING but nice and understanding of them... THIS IS NOT EVEN A COMPANY THAT WAS DOING ANY WORK FOR US BUT A NEIGHBOR!! read more

I highly recommend JC Lilly. They offered a far superior window than the cheaper competition at a better price. Easy process from start to finish. Will use again for any window projects in the future. read more

Good afternoon! I reached out to this company around mid February and had Justin as a consultant, to which he came over and measured my windows. I felt as if my time was wasted and not valued due to me never getting confirmation back from you all about a quote. I was willing to conduct business with you all, but not now. Hopefully you all learn that a customer's time is just as valuable as yours. Thank you, read more

What a pleasure to work with the team at JC Lilly. We had our door and side panels replaced and the product is amazing and the installation team are top notch pros! read more

I highly recommend JC Lilly Windows. Justin is very knowledgeable and was great at explaining the different options of windows. The installation team was top notch. They were very skilled, efficient, friendly and kept us updated on the installation process. read more

I could not be happier with my experience with JC Lilly. When Justin came out to quote my building, he was knowledge, professional, and extremely affable. The quote I received was significantly lower than the competitors with the same make and model window. When it came time for the installation, I received a very helpful email on how to prepare for the install days. And when that day came, the crew was fantastic. Swavek, Daniel, and the rest were nothing less than great. Swavek even went out of the way to fix a minor issue with my awning that's been bugging me for years, but since I didn't the appropriate ladder, I could never get to it. A+ team all around. I cannot recommend them enough. read more

Justin showed up, seemed disinterested. Took measurements but never followed up with a quote. Waste of time.

I highly recommend this company. As a new homeowner, I have some repairs and updates to make to my home. I found JC Lilly to have everything I needed at an affordable price. They installed my front entry door and sliding doors. The quality of the craftsmanship is top-notch. They also protected the wall and flooring around the worksite and made sure to patch holes and clean up. On top of that, they made a few customizations that ended up saving me money. Justin oversaw every detail and made sure the project met my satisfaction. Overall, I'm very pleased and will be returning to them when I begin my window project. read more

We couldn't be happier with our new windows. Justin was able to set us up and Slawek and his crew installed. Incredible products and expert installation. They were installed during Covid and the guys were all wearing proper PPE and respectful to our place. We went with fiberglass windows and went with black inside and out. In all, we had 12 windows replaced and felt the price matched the quality of the product and installation. Having just purchased our place last year, these windows will be the backbone of what will probably become a long overhaul of our entire place. They should last for a while. read more

I have been a client of JC Lilly for the past 11 years. They have literally replaced every window and one slider in my 3 flat. One of the best construction vendors I have ever worked with. Fair pricing and great installers. If repeat business is any measure of value, I have used them every time I needed replacement windows (3 times so far) and I wouldn't go anywhere else. Molly P. Humboldt Park, Chicago read more

Words can't express how amazing this team is! We live in Lincoln Park on Ashland Ave on the 3rd floor. For the last 5 years we have been plagued with noise and dust throughout our home on this busy Chicago street. Since the JC Lilly team came and replaced our windows and sliding door wall, our lives have changed. We are able to enjoy quiet nights, even during peak traffic hours. Not to mention, we are already seeing an impact with our air conditioning bill. No more leaky windows! We did 10 total windows and our sliding door and could not recommend this team more. Our neighbors have also used them and others are considering the same. Justin, Slawek and the rest of the crew were easy to work with, accommodating and flexible with our schedule, and finished the job efficiently. The quality and brands of windows that they offer are top notch. We are incredibly happy and grateful for this team and will be using them on our next home in the future. read more

Left a detailed message on March 16, 2023, and as of April 5, 2023 I have still not received a return call. I'm disappointed by the lack of responsiveness. read more

We are very happy with our experience working with Justin and his team. We replaced 13 front-facing windows on our 100+ year-old home and are thrilled with the results. Justin was very patient with us as we did our research and made changes to our project scope. He was responsive over email and phone. Also, his crew was very nice and professional when coming for final measurements and installation. The install was done in less than a day and without any issues. I would recommend this company to others for excellent pricing and service. read more

I had such a great experience with JC Lilly! The team is very experienced and knowledgeable. Justin was incredibly helpful and patient in educating me about all the various factors that go into selecting windows. He was never even remotely patronizing. And, most importantly, he was consultative. When I asked for his recommendation he had a clear point of view and was able to articulate why he favored one brand over another. It made making my decision so much easier. As for the installation, Swavek and his crew did a great job. They were thorough in their work. As well as pleasant and respectful to be around. I would definitely work with them again and would highly, highly recommend them. read more

You can purchase the highest quality window, but if it is not installed properly, it most likely will fail. That's why I would not even think of having anyone else but JC Lilly install my windows. I have had JC Lilly Windows, and their stellar team, supply and install all of the windows in my two multi-family buildings. Swavik and Daniel, the dream team of windows professionals, ensure that I have a worry-free install every time. For my latest install, I had just restored all the 1890s woodwork in the building to perfection, and I thought I surely would have to do repairs after six windows were replaced. When the men completed the job, it was like magic....not even the tiniest scratch on the woodwork! Absolutely flawless installation. The windows are gorgeous Thank you JC Lilly...Justin, Swavik and Daniel and your entire team for going above and beyond in every way from start to finish! read more

If you want to feel 100% confident you're getting the best windows, the best service, and the most skilled installation for your buck, don't contact anyone but JC Lilly. Seriously. This company was a dream throughout our looong search for replacement windows. Unlike other window companies, the owner, Jeannie, spent countless hours answering all my questions and generally educating me on what my options were: fiberglass vs vinyl, noise reduction glass, double vs triple pane, plus the different window configurations and brands to maximize our skyline views. She must have drafted at least 20 estimates for me and even met me at a showroom so I could see the windows we were buying in person -- all with no complaining, no groaning, no pressure. Jeannie is incredibly knowledgeable, responsive, and generally delightful. When it came time to install our windows, Slawek and team could not have been more well-trained or professional. They arrived when they said they would, worked diligently while they were here, cleaned up after themselves when they were done (both inside our condo, in the elevator, and in the parking lot!), and just did an all-around masterful job. This included installing an extremely heavy picture window and carving out a chunk of our Hardie siding to make room for the new sliding glass door - not an easy feat. To give you a sense of timing, we placed our order on October 4th. Windows and a custom sliding glass door were installed on December 18th. Icing on the cake: I loved knowing I'm supporting a woman-owned business run by a badass cancer survivor who really looks out for her workers. Jeannie makes sure every job is a safe for them and also treats them to a fun vacation every year. All in all, JC Lilly is expensive, but for the quality, service, and peace of mind you get, she's worth every penny. read more

Not sure why this place has such high ratings. They don't get back to you and when they do they just blow you off. No proper communication at all. I suggest you go to cool county windows instead. They have impeccable service. All the good reviews are people who are friends with the owner so that makes sense.... read more

I would like to thank jeannie and the crew at JC Lilly windows so MUCH for the incredible experience i had with buying windows. The windows are excellent! I also would like say that the team on Saturday were exceptional! Jerry and the teams work was Superb and really nice guys you have! Extremly fast, EFFICIENT & HONEST!!!! Great windows, clean nice and perfect installed. I have bragged about the windows and installation process to brother, sister and family member and friends so much that my brother and sister, who both owned houses, will not hesitate to give you a call very soon! You have this customer for any window and door needs. I did my research on window companies and I knew I had chosen the right one. The prices on windows were far lower than competitors, look no further and choose JC Lilly. read more

The 1988 townhouse had original windows that were in terrible shape. Justin came out, provided an estimate, and guesstimated the windows would arrive in March. They were installed yesterday. First - what a great crew! Efficient, thoughtful, and the post-installation clean-up was first rate. Second - the windows are terrific. No more cold drafts and the sound reduction is amazing. All this for a very reasonable price. We are so thankful to the friend who referred us and so appreciative of the wonderful service from Lilly. read more

Reached out to JC Lilly to get an estimate on some windows that have been allowing drafts into our home. Justin spent a good amount of time talking me through the windows (ours are 20 yrs old), and that repair may be a better and more cost efficient option. He even referred me to a repair company. This type of honesty is rarely seen, and he could have tried to sell me a bunch of windows when some weatherproofing repairs could take care of the job. I REALLY appreciated this, and will call JC Lilly next time I need window replacement. read more

Wow - where to begin??? Back in February, my brothers and I decided to look into having windows redone at our childhood home, where two of us currently live. At that point we were considering selling the house, but that has been postponed. I contacted three window companies to come out and give an estimate. Now, the sale "process" is one that I typically dread. But in this instance, all three of the reps that came out to provide estimates were extremely professional. Obviously, we only needed one company, but I would have been happy with all three of them. But after careful consideration [price-wise, they were all close], I ultimately decided to have JC Lilly replace two large windows and a sliding door in our family room, plus a parlor room window in the front of the house that was difficult to access. I guess when it came down to it, I had the best gut feeling about Jeannie, her crew and her company. While I guess the final measure of the product itself will truly be known after about a year's worth of "all seasons", I couldn't have been happier with the crew and the whole process of removing the old and installing the new windows. I watched much of what they did and really appreciated the care and concern they took in ensuring the windows were correctly installed and functioning. As Daniel was setting them, he would measure and check his level several times to see that the windows were properly placed. The trim was put in place with utmost care. It was as if he doing the work for his own home. In just a few minutes, he even managed to get an awning working for us again - it hadn't been functioning for several years. Slawek was on location about half of the day. He had done the final measuring for the windows and I had spoken to him about doing a window in the parlor room which was located behind an iron grate. He and Jeannie figured out the best option and the final product looks great. The window that had been there had seen its better days - the new one makes the whole room look better. Bottom line - the whole process from start to finish couldn't have gone better. Kudos to Jeannie, Slawek, Daniel and "Dad" for the great job and extremely pleasant experience with this home upgrade. Highly recommended - can't say enough good things about this company. read more

Choosing JC Lilly was a no-brainer and I'm so glad that I did.I'm a Realtor who works with many different contractors across the city, and working with JC Lilly was by far the best experience that I've had with a window/door contractor. The price was right, the product was excellent, and everything was handled quickly and professionally. My client was very pleased with the work JC Lilly did and with his overall experience. I would recommend JC Lilly to anyone looking to improve the style, energy efficiency, and market price of their home! read more

Absolutely thrilled with the experience from beginning to end! I was dreading the task of having to change windows in a house we moved into and discovered more damage once living in. Even though the first contact took 2 days to come through, after that it was smooth sailing. Justin came in and explained the process and options. He didn't oversell and listed the pro and cons for each type. From estimate, to measurements, a few design changes, ordering and final installation - I was very comfortable and clued in at all times. Have enjoyed the windows over the last month. Will definitely be using JC Lily again for a few remaining windows and one gigantic glass wall in the house. read more

Justin was knowledgeable, professional and helpful in identifying the best product for our project. They replaced 14 windows and a patio door for our home. Great quality and value. The installation was extremely efficient. I am very pleased with the results and highly recommend this local business. read more

After researching and meeting with several window companies, hands down Jeannie and her team were the best choice for us - price, quality products, installation. She provided advice and information that I wasn't able to gather on my own, and left me with info to make confident decision. Her team to measure and install were also very professional. From start to finish, a 5-star experience! I'll be back for the next set of windows for our house. read more

Not only were they the nicest group of folks -- from Justin the affable owner and Shelby the totally "on top of things" inside sales rep to charming brothers Slawek and Sylvester on the install -- but they were very skilled and detail-oriented too and my new windows look AMAZING! Competitively priced and a great product, my home's value just went up considerably. And it didn't hurt that they were lots of laughs and fun to boot. I couldn't recommend the whole team more. I was joking with Justin that now my front door looks like JUNK! So am going to order a new door through them too. read more

The company deserves 6 stars! Justin and the entire crew are professional, personable, and go above & beyond to provide a great product at a great price. From the estimate to the installation, they kept me informed of every step. I had 6 basement windows replaced in my 100 year old house; their work is impeccable. My only regret is that I didn't find them before I'd replaced other windows! read more

We needed the front windows of our bungalow replaced and wanted to use a family-owned business. Since we spend SO much time in our front room, we wanted to really invest in a long-term fix. The whole JC Lilly team made the process as painless as possible. Justin walked us through ALL our options and helped us choose beautiful, high-quality windows stained to match our vintage trim. The install crew was incredibly careful but incredibly quick, working with precision to make the windows look amazing inside and out. We couldn't be happier and I would recommend JC Lilly to take care of your home and add to its value! read more

I also had Jean and her crew replace 2 glass block windows and expected it was done in a professional manner. Glass Block windows look great. Thank goodness i didn't go with the "other" cheaper guys cuz i just saw their work on my neighbors building. They left wooden shims underneath the glass blocks just sticking out. Thanks Jean & Crew read more

Our house needed a few windows replaced and I reached out to a few companies for estimates. What made JC Lilly stand out from the rest was the time they spent to educate and explain the process. Mind you, this is my first time purchasing windows so a lot of this was new to me. When Justin came out for an estimate, he not only was super informative but also took into account of things that I wouldn't have even thought about. He walked me through every step and most importantly, even considered my toddler's safety during the install. This was huge because no other company that I spoke with even mentioned that. It showed that they truly cared about their customers. Furthermore, he wasn't trying to oversell anything or tried to sway me one way or another. He spent the time to lay out all of the facts and guided me through the pros and cons of each option. We had 4 windows installed and they were super professional, quick, and clean! The team showed up on time and wore masks when they had to enter the house. They were constantly vacuuming and cleaning up inside and outside. It was literally spotless when they left. It's been about a week since we've had these installed and we are just in love. The quality of the windows and work they provided has been incredible. If you're looking for a window company that actually cares for their customers and does great work, look no further! They are worth every penny! read more

Product & Process - Outstanding It's not often that you feel good about spending a lot of money. Window are expensive! But from beginning to end JC Lilly was great. My windows are on the large side (36 x 86) and I needed 8 replaced. I went with "grizzly gray" interior and a brushed nickel finish. They look awesome. The team was outstanding and clearly experts. They showed great insight regarding the complexity of the job. Insight totally absent when I had the job quoted from Pella a while back. Honestly I could go on and on about how well this install went but really the gist is that if you need windows use JC Lilly. read more

I have a standard-issue 100-year-old brick 2-flat. When I bought the building, it still had all thirty-four of the original windows. Every ten years or so I replace ten of them at a time and JC Lilly has been the best experience by far. Everyone was professional, experienced, and knowledgeable. This time I did eight windows and went with fiberglass instead of vinyl. I'm thrilled with their performance and will have JC Lilly do the final round of eleven windows on the facade of the building sometime next year. read more

A 100 percent fabulous, woman-run company in Chicago! Do not hesitate to call them if you are looking to have new windows installed. (note: they do NOT do repairs or restorations of existing windows). Take off old crappy windows and put in bright shiny new ones? JC Lilly has you covered. I own a small condo on Chicago's northside and while its typically pretty low maintenance (knock on wood) it was in dire need of new windows after the building settled (unfairly!) in one corner. They no longer locked properly, which is a hazard and after a few windy days where the windows actually blew into the house I figured it was time to get things fixed up properly. Noted, universe, noted! I truly had no idea whom to call -- but after some quick research on Yelp and gathering a few quotes, I went with Jean and JC Lilly Windows. I couldn't be happier. Jean and crew were great at coordinating with me (landlord) and my tenant to make the whole experience really painless. For the first go, I opted to do all the most pressing windows in the house (3 larger ones in the living room and bedroom). These were done perfectly and after nearly 2 years are still in great shape. Next up, I needed the kitchen ones replaced. though a smaller job (just 2 windows) the quote still came in very competitively with other larger companies. Chalk it up for the small operations! Hindsight is 20/20 and in reality I should've had them all done at the same time, which is better for everyone involved and streamlines the cost effectiveness as well. Lesson learned. Highly recommended. Need new windows? JC Lilly is your hero. read more

First off - I did not end up using Jeannie to complete our project, but I still feel that I can write an appropriate review. We were looking to have some less-than-critical projects done. We needed some ancient windows replaced on an un-heated/cooled/insulated porch of a rental unit, and a few other misc. projects. Jeannie was super friendly and helpful over the phone and made a (quick) appointment to come out so she could give us a formal estimate. The estimate didn't quite come back as we expected and she recalled some adjustments we made and fixed it in no time. It still wasn't quite what we were looking for, so she re-looked at the project to make some adjustments to try to meet the price we were looking for. Essentially the issue came down to the fact that Jeannie does not install cheap windows--Which I totally respect, and it most cases is fantastic. Unfortunately we only wanted cheap windows for these locations, so we ultimately went with another company that would install a lower-quality window. I totally respect that they only install better quality windows. Some day we'll need to have the apartment windows replaced and you bet I'll contact Jeannie! She was friendly to work with and prompt. read more
