Their team came in and fixed all the broken parts of 20+ windows in under 2 hours. They were super clean, really nice, and refreshingly honest. I'm thrilled with how it turned out! Windows that haven't stayed open for years, can finally be used again. Biggest thing for me is they aren't drafty anymore and that's gonna save money. This cost was a small fraction of getting them replaced. Highly recommend! read more

On time, reasonably priced and amazingly friendly! They've repaired and re-screened my windows in the past -- and when I asked them to come and take a look at my balcony door that wouldn't open - they came (on time) took a look, and got it to open - all without even charging me! Highly recommend them! read more

Ronnie came out. They sent me a fair estimate and I hied them. They came out and did a great job. Saved me lots of money. Would definitely recommend them read more

I was referred to LDS by another company that I had a great experience with, so I took their referral at face value. Bad move - wish I had checked Yelp first. Ronnie came to estimate repairs for a window that had shattered in the extreme cold. During the estimate process he walked through the house to look at the other windows and mentioned their "window wellness" service. I told him I was interested and he said he would get me info along with a quote for the window. After emailing me the quote, I accepted and asked when the work could be done. They told me they needed to come back and take "final measurements." This should have been a red flag because they already came to measure and estimate! But I let it go and made arrangements for the second visit, and accepted the updated quote. A few weeks later (scheduling was really difficult) the work was done and it looked good. Never got the "window wellness" quote but at that point I didn't want it. That was in March. This month (June) my wife noticed some glass fragments around the window. She tapped on the window frame and more glass fell out. A few more taps and it was basically raining glass. Apparently LDS replaced the window but never cleaned out the fragments from the window that shattered. Lucky for us the kids weren't home and we were able to clean it up (after taking apart the frame to do so) with no injuries. I considered writing to LDS to remedy the situation but I don't have time to deal with their scheduling process when there is literally glass on my floor. Besides, there's no reason to believe they would do the job correctly based on past performance. Avoid LDS for any / all window needs. Their website should be "notquitefixawindow . com" instead! read more

LDS Renovations - Four months after the window was replaced, we still had these fragments falling out of the window frame. - Windows Installation Near Me - Grayslake, Illinois

LDS Renovations is a great company to work with! I needed my balancers replaced in one of my windows and my windows are probably 40 years old. They were able to order the parts and install within 2 weeks! Very fair pricing and when the 2 guys got here, they actually didn't need a couple parts for the repair and provided money off from the initial invoice. They could have told me they replaced everything and I would have paid full price but I really appreciate the honesty and cost saving! 10/10 would recommend. read more

Really pleased with Ronnie and the whole team. Having windows about 20 years old, I noticed a lot of drafts and windows not opening or staying open. I was almost ready to go down the path of getting new windows. I found fixawindow and really pleased with the wellness and repair of broken shoes, springs, etc. My windows are now like new and will last another 20 years. Highly recommend this company and worth a call before considering new window replacement! read more

I would not use this company. They were selected by my association to repair two windows and replace the glass on a third. After some initial difficulties contacting them, I scheduled them to perform the work. They did a fine job replacing one and repairing one. After cracking open the frame of the third window and making it inoperable, they determined that it actually couldn't be repaired in the way they thought, but they could possibly repair it if I found out the manufacturer or they would replace it. They left my window in pieces, and I told them I would find out who the manufacturer was. After contacting the builder and getting the name of the window manufacturer, I reported it to LDS' company manager who assured me that I would receive a response shortly. "Shortly" turned into a MONTH of about a dozen calls, texts, and emails to both the owner and manager, most of which went unanswered. When I did get a response, it was to say that the manufacturer was moving really slow, and they were waiting on a response from them. I eventually called the manufacturer myself to which I was told that they had never heard from LDS. I was left with a month of dodged phone calls and a broken window that I am still having trouble getting fixed because no other company wants to replace just one window. If LDS had be just quoted me correctly, been honest about what they were doing, contacted the manufacturer like they said they would or gave me a bid to replace the window then I wouldn't be in this situation. read more

I was referred to Ronnie and gave him a call today regarding window repair. He was able to diagnose the problem quickly and gave me an honest opinion, which was that we did not need window repair and just needed to make some changes to our humidity. He saved us a ton of money on window repair and replacement. Should we need window help in the future, we will call him given his expertise. read more

SHORT VERSION Outstanding! Competitive & detailed quote for major window repairs, excellent communication, swift scheduling, timely work, high quality repairs. Positive all around. I know definitively who I'll call next time I need window repairs. LONG VERSION After decades of neglect from the previous owner, and a few years of neglect from us, our 31 yo casement windows were in terrible shape (10 banks of 2). Major rotting of wood sills, sashes, brick moulding, and more. Ronnie & crew in the field, along with Dylan in the office, provided a clear, detailed, competitive quote based on what they could see during the initial inspection. Given the windows' particularly poor condition, they appropriately warned me they might uncover additional repairs while taking everything apart for the quoted repairs. I knew this to be the case from past experience on other projects, but still appreciated they called it out explicitly. Ronnie & crew were on-time, respectful, communicative & informative, and ensured I knew the status of the work as it progresssed. During the repairs, Ronnie identified some hidden issues -- though not entirely unexpected (see aforementioned warning) -- which required substantially more work. In each case, Ronnie showed me the newly uncovered issue, explained why the work needed (or did not need) to be done, and confirmed how I wanted to proceed. Most of the additional repairs clearly were necessary to support and complete the originally quoted repairs, so I agreed. In an instance or two, he noted an additional repair was non-critical, and I passed -- no pressure, no problem. We still have 2 banks of 2 windows each, with sashes too far gone to repair, so Ronnie and team are working with me to identify options for sash replacement. Hopefully, since the original model is discontinued and not available, we can use a newer model from the manufacturer (if they fit), But if not, Ronnie is actively working with me on contingency options. I wish all my home repair experiences were this positive. I said it above, and it bears repeating: outstanding! I know definitively who I'll call next time I need window repairs. read more

Took our deposit and cashed the check the same day, then never heard from them again. completely unresponsive to calls, texts, emails. total crooks. Do not trust them. read more

While highly recommended, I have to say was underwhelmed with the customer service of this place. The guy called to get the details of my project and said he would stop by to give me an estimate on my broken window project. I told him it was a small job albeit a detailed one as my home has old steel casement windows where the glass needs to be individually replaced and glazed. He assured me they had experience with this. I never heard back from them, they never left an estimate and I basically wasted a week waiting for them to fix a broken window. Guess they didn't need my business. read more

Ronnie, Dylan, and Shane did an excellent job. They were very thorough in ensuring all the windows in our home were fixed and working great. They repaired worn weather stripping, window frame rot, broken latches, and screens. Additionally, we had two broken seals and one broken glass, which they replaced with ease. I had called a reputable window company previously regarding the broken seals, and they said I had to replace the entire front face of our wall (10 windows) in order to replace those two seals, so I was very grateful to find LDS. They really saved us a lot of money. Additionally, I appreciate that they share their knowledge with their customers so we can help maintain our windows properly after their services. They are a great team, and I enjoyed working with them. read more

Repaired 4 windows, 2 with cracks, 2 with broken seals, and serviced all windows so they now open and close easily. Saved me enormous amounts of money over replacement windows. Very happy with response, service, professionalism. read more

I don't usually write reviews, but wanted to say that Ronnie really helped me out today. He came to check out a window that was damaged on very short notice, and did a short term fix while we wait for replacement parts. I really appreciated his responsiveness and resourcefulness! :) Thank you, Ronnie! read more

Astoundingly poor service. I never post on Yelp, but as I am sitting here next to my broken window, I am so irritated that I caved. Scheduling an estimate was easy. Ronnie and another employee came out promptly, were courteous, and provided an estimate right away. I was pleased and wanted to move forward with the work. Scheduling the work was another story. The seemingly only office employee, Lauren, was impossible to connect with. I emailed, I called, I texted. At one point, she finally said she had ordered my materials and that she would be in touch with me to collect a deposit. She never was. I chased her down a few times after that. She told me that she would check with the vendor and get back to me in a day. She never did. I tried for TWO MONTHS to schedule this work, practically begging these people to take my money. Thank god they didn't. On top of it all, two of the windows that Ronnie inspected were not shut properly. As in, they WERE SHUT when he opened them to inspect them, but he did not close them before he left. I cannot get them closed (hence the reason for needing window repairs). As it is getting colder, this is becoming increasingly problematic. So I tried ONE LAST TIME to email these people over a week ago. I explained that they had left my windows open, and AT THE VERY LEAST could they please come close them. They never responded. Seriously terrible business. read more

Ronnie from FixAWindow.com fixed a sliding window where the frame had come apart for me at a townhome I rent. The repair took less than 1/2 hour and was perfect. I will be calling him again for the windows at my home. Great Job Thanks! Dann G read more

Amazing service and expertise! If you want to save vintage windows in an older house, look to LDS Renovations for repair and routine maintenance. Ronnie and his team know everything there is to know about windows. I contacted them to replace glass that had cracked in a casement window and to also repair the operator crank. Dylan, the office manager, answered all my questions in great detail to make sure I was fully informed before scheduling Ronnie's visit to inspect and estimate. We received an estimate promptly and work was scheduled soon thereafter. Ronnie and the LDS team performed the repair perfectly, then tuned up all of our double-hung windows to make them work like new. I'm very pleased to have found this company. It's becoming very hard to find people this professional, knowledgeable, and driven to do top-notch repair work. Thanks LDS! read more

I found Ronnie and his team after a reference from a an ethical window replacement company that told me I could save thousands but having my windows restored rather than replaced.  News to me that just replacing the glass, and not the entire window frame, is considered restoration.  Ronnie obviously knew his stuff when he came through to check everything out. He pointed out mistakes by previous workers and took tons of notes. His office assistant sent the quote in about three weeks.  Compared to total replacement the cost was about 75% less.  Ronnie brought extra people and was able to do all the work in just 1 day.  I totally trust him and would be comfortable giving him the key codes to my home. I hope I can find other contractors this good! read more

See all

I had a cracked. odd-shaped window that I needed to replace as well as two tall door panel windows that were fogged due to compromised thermal seals. I was referred to Ronnie from a reputable window replacement company in Chicago, as they only do larger installations of windows. The fixawindow team (Ronnie, Dylan & Shane) scheduled a time for an estimate, ordered the windows with half down & installed them earlier than the date which they had promised. The guys did efficient, neat work & were very professional. The cost was fair & they were careful not to damage any walls, etc., while bringing in these large replacement pieces of glass. Get in touch with Ronnie at Fixawindow.com when you need a window repaired or replaced in a professional, efficient, neat manner at a fair price. read more

The crazy wind last week somehow blew out a casement window in our condo and completely broke the latch at the bottom. It was dangling over the sidewalk below and was a big problem. I rang LDS and said my situation was an emergency, and about 20 minutes later, I received a call from a woman who said Ronnie was wrapping up another project only four miles from me and was going to be at my place in 20 minutes. When Ronnie arrived, he worked SO quickly - it was mind boggling! He saw the window, ran back down to his truck, brought his equipment and assistant upstairs and within 15 minutes - BOOM! Fixed window! I was so grateful at how quickly he fit me in and how incredibly he worked, I had to give the man a hug! Ronnie was professional, fast, and had incredible pricing. I was so impressed! I will definitely be ringing him again for other window/door problems. Thank you, Ronnie! read more

We called LDS when our tenants had their window kicked in and needed repair. It was close to the holiday so we boarded up the window for their safety until Karl could come out and help us. He was very nice and knowledgeable. He called/texted the week before to work out a time to schedule. He was able to fix the window to a working condition but ultimately recommended us replacing the whole window. I would highly recommend them if you are in need of window repair and advice! Thank you for your time Karl! read more

Fast and extremely friendly service. LDS helped me with fixing a window in my condo. Price was fair and they were here the next day with the parts to make the repair. Thanks! read more

Scheduled easily for a quote and then quickly added to the schedule to come do a fix for sliding doors that had separated from the building. They were quick, kind, and happy with their work. read more

Ronnie and his crew were able to sneak me into their tight schedule to do a window sash replacement. They were fast, courteous and they did a great job for a reasonable price. I would highly recommend them ! read more

We had two different jobs in our home. We used fixawindow for the first. There were consistent communication issues that carried through to our quote request for the second job. The quality of the work was fine but I had to work too hard to get them to do their job on the administrative portion. We moved on to another company who handled themselves more professionally. read more

This was the 3rd time using them to repair different windows in our home and they are always quick, knowledgeable, and professional. Would definitely recommend them to at least look at your windows before replacing them. read more

The worst company we ever dealt with! We don't like to do reviews, especially bad reviews - no business is ever operated without mistakes, so we tend to be more understanding than difficult. However, this business is just beyond reasonable! Utterly horrible! We asked to fixed the handles on a few of our windows, the owner (extremely difficult person to deal with) came over, sold us a toning service and changing ALL of our window handles. The price was a little high, but if the job was done correctly, we don't mind the hefty price tag. The service was performed on early May. We can't say they did a good or even better job - The toning didn't do much to the windows, we could honestly not need this since there was not much difference. However, it was the handles that we had the most of the problems with - They changed all our short ones and put on almost a foot long handles on most of the windows. With a narrow structure of the house, it's hard not to trip on them walking in the hallway. So you think being in this business for a LONG time, they would have at least the common sense. Anyway, we agreed to order the folded ones and change them later. This is AFTER we paid them hundreds of dollars. And what's worse, during this service, they also broke the operator of one of our windows, that window CAN NOT be opened EVER! They said they would come back to fix it at a later time. A month passed by, there was no news, so we called and emailed and called and emailed. Then a few months passed by, we heard nothing! Hence, we think this review is very deserving and fair at this point. We will file a claim/dispute with respective authorities and yes, this review will be on EVERY site. Let our experience be your reference before you move forward with this company. PLEASE CHOOSE ANOTHER BUSINESS TO DO YOUR WINDWO REPAIR! read more

We had several crank windows that stopped working. Ronnie was responsive to my inquiry and to my follow-up communications. While they were at my house to provide an estimate, I also mentioned an issue with a pocket door. Ronnie agreed to try to fix when they fixed the windows. I received the quote within 48 hours and the estimate was reasonable. I was concerned that I would be overcharged because it was difficult to find someone who handles window repairs when it is something minor like the crank. Lauren contacted me for the deposit, but I'm not sure what happened with it. I did follow up with Ronnie about it and he took care of it. A few weeks later the items were available so I scheduled a date/time with him to repair it. Unfortunately, I missed his email to schedule it so we had to reschedule it a week later. They arrived on-time and started working immediately. They took care of all the items and Ronnie fixed my pocket door too! This was a relief because I couldn't find anyone who would do it. I also asked about replacing a couple of windows and was thankful to hear that it wasn't needed. The windows work as good as new and we paid far less then replacements. Overall, they were easy to work with, honest, professional and friendly. read more

We had a great experience with LDS replacing the glass in several of our windows (12 windows total). I give them an A+. The seal on the windows had gone bad (popped), causing our windows to fog up. LDS's owner, Ronnie, visited our house to measure our bad windows so the custom glass could be ordered. We waited several weeks for the replacement glass, then Ronnie and his assistant came back to remove the bad glass and install the new windows. Also, our windows have been tough to open for a while; they felt stiff, so LDS serviced all our windows as well. Our windows open and close without a problem now, and we are fog-free. The project was part of our process of putting our house on the market and went very smoothly. read more

I have specialized windows. LDS returned my call on a Sunday to be sure I was not "freezing" due to the broken window. Ronnie came out the next week to check the type of window I had. Ronnie took the time to explain what was needed to be done, after he reviewed the information, I was told I only needed one "square" of glass instead of an entire "sash", was extremely through, and is a craftsman/artist in his field. LDS not only saved me money on not replacing the entire sash, they were honest in what my needs actually were. I will be using them again in the Spring for the sills and other window repairs/up keep. I said not sure on the credit cards since I wrote a check. read more

I have never ever written a review before , but in this case feel compelled to do so. I would strongly advise looking hard for another window company. This company came out , ran through my home , gave me a ridiculous estimate for repair and window wellness checks , took my down payment and disappeared.!!!!! No invoice was sent to me like promised, despite calling and calling to request one. No one gets back to you in office !!!!! After 2 months of constantly leaving messages, they came back out and only performed 1/2 of what they had promised and had the audacity of asking for additional payment. Run!!!! It's a headache. I know it's hard to find window repair guys..... but advise you try another company read more

I had 2 guys come out 8/22/18 to measure for a quote for a new sliding glass door. They were prompt for their appointment and took the measurements quick and said I would receive an email with a quote on the next few days. Fast forward to 9/2/18 and I had received no quote so I sent an email. No response. I got busy so I didn't call until 9/14/18 and it went to voicemail so I said I hadn't received the quote. No call back. I called 9/17/18 and a Lauren answered who said that she will call the owner who will get me the quote that evening. Did not receive it. I called again the 9/21/18 and Lauren answered again. She said she talked to "the guy" and he would be emailing me the quote and calling me that night to let me know that he sent it. It is now 9/22/18 and I still do not have it. If I have to go through this much to even hear how much it would cost, I can't imagine what it would be like for install. I am glad I wasted my time to stay home from work to have them come out and measure to not even get a quote out of it. I wouldn't recommend. read more

First off, sent new employee to come measure windows, stayed too long, talked too much(his divorce, his band, and his life as retired fireman) , text me seveal times late night when there was no need. Wanted to come a second time to make sure "he did it right." Owner Ronnie and his son came to do the work after several weeks of waiting for parts to come in. Window glass was ordered in wrong size, had to be re-ordered. The ONE balancer I was told I needed was put into wrong window. I watched as Ronnie drill screws direcly in window frames to have them stay in place, which I know was not the proper thing to do. The "Wellness Service" is nothing but a $35 dollar charge for them to spray a version of WD40 on the tracks- DO NOT BE FOOLED. Was told at estimate they clean window sills, Owner Ronnie scoffed at that. There were Ronnies paw prints all over my windows, house and furniture. Ronnie and another son came for a second trip to now replace window glass in correct size. I mentioned that the windows were not in any better working order, many were WORSE after his handy work. Ronnine became crass and rude, telling me that I was the one that didn't want to spent the money to get them working, that ALL the balancers needed replacing. I reminded him, I was told by HIS company only one window needed them. He then again offered to "respray" his metal lube, which I refused to let him do. And just an FYI, Lauren in "billing" is his wife. This is obviously a small family run company. I feel dupped and I way overpaid to have my windows in exact same working condition, or worse as before LDS came. At least I have Ronnies hand prints high on my window to wave BYE BYE! read more

Poor customer service. Was able to make an appointment for quote and took off work in Aug. ronnie seems very knowledgeable and was going to send a quote. Never received a quoted so called was told to check spam. Let them know Still nothing called and emails finally texted with office support who promised it would be sent and blamed computer/server issues and that she would include scheduling dates. Still no quote. Let her know i was fine with verbally reviewing quote if her issues continued, still nothing. Wasn't a big job if you don't have time/not worth time let folks know and we can continue the search! This was a referral from another window company in the area but given customer service I would recommend to go elsewhere. read more

Ronnie Barnes and his crew did a great job, and did whatever it took to get the job done while offering a reasonable price. Came to fix three large windows and asked him if he could do something with regard to my front entry door which was closing poorly and needed better winter proofing. Fixed it on the spot and charged me what I considered to be very reasonable price. Will use them again for windows - in fact will be putting a storm door in my house shortly read more

My bedroom window would not stay open. Ronnie and his co-worker did a great job in a timely and reasonably priced fashion. Highly recommended. read more

I found Ronnie with a google search and I'm glad I did. He showed up as promised to take a look at the windows I wanted to replace. He talked me out of replacing the windows and instead replaced some of the glass and did some maintenance to make the windows like new again. Ronnie is a real professional...delivers what he promises and I hear he's pretty good on guitar too. read more

I found them online by Googling Window repair companies. I called Fixawindow.com early in the am today after my basement window fell out of the pane from a wind storm. They fit me into their schedule even though we were having snow storm and they were coming from the city. When they got here they took one look at the window and said "it just came off the hinge". He climbed up on a chair, put in back on the hinge and said "That's all. Easy". He didn't charge me for the visit or the repair. They were friendly, efficient and showed up exactly when they said they would and if I ever have a REAL window issue I will absolutely call them. read more

Now the same guy comes here to respond with more lies. At least he can fabricate those, if not windows that fit.

Nope - move on. Initial pleasantries and fairly quick scheduling to get an assessment was later met with almost comical lack of response and poor customer service. (Comical only if you aren't waiting patiently to repair a window, that is.) Can't comment on the quality of their work, but with this treatment of customers they will likely be out of business soon. We waited a few weeks after the assessment, then contacted them to try to get the quote. Email seems a challenge to this office, but finally received the quote after much delay. Getting in touch with the owner or office manager after that was a total exercise in frustration. Finally resorted to texting and emailing and calling, all to just give a credit card deposit and set up the installation. As the weeks passed, I pictured the owner and office manager on vacation somewhere, drinking heavily, ignoring all their messages and texts and laughing (this was an odd mental image, but maybe the sense I got from meeting the guy). We shouldn't have bothered, because though they apparently 'ordered the window' a month or more after the estimate, and here it is almost 5 months later and we haven't heard a peep from them. Of course we moved on to another company and got responses and results within weeks. Don't waste your time! read more
