I can't say I was thrilled when we were in the middle of a bathroom renovation and already pouring way too much $ for our home and we discovered (thanks to a few rainy days) that we needed new french doors leading out to our backyard. I'm usually not one to spend time getting a bunch of quotes and just rely on Yelp reviews to make a purchasing decision, but this was pricey enough purchase that i figured I should do my due diligence.' Siding & Windows Group was one of the 4 companies I had come out for a quote. We ended up with them for a few reasons: - Their quote was competitive - They were able to spray paint the interior trim with our existing paint color - They were able to match the exterior trim as closely as possible to our windows outside - Anthony at Siding & Windows Group was very responsive We placed the order on August 22nd, which is my bday. I can't say new doors was what i wanted for my bday, but i guess this is being a homeowner in your 40s. The new doors weren't installed until November 6th and we just hoped for no big storms and got lucky. Anthony checked in a few times on when they'd be installed and pushed it back a few days due to other projects. The actual installation took about a day, which wasn't too bad. A week later they came to spray paint, which honestly seemed like a much bigger project than installing the doors. That took 2 days and went smoothly, although there was a little confusion about them not knowing what color to paint, etc. It turned out beautifully and while the doors look very similar to our old doors I like the look of these even better. The exterior finish isn't a perfect match, but i think a big part of that is our old paint on our windows as faded. One day we'll touch it all up, but for now we're looking forward to a break in paying for anything for the house. I learned there are a lot of companies in the area for new windows/doors, but we were satisfied with this one and would use them again. read more

Siding & Windows Group was great start to finish. Rocco was very helpful answering all our questions and helping us to make selections for siding (and soffit, facia, window framing etc.) which let us realize our vision. They were prepared for bumps in the road as well (weather) and kept in good contact throughout the process and actually listened to us when we had questions or momentary concerns they put us at ease with the information we sought. It's a big purchase, but they made us feel confident in our decision by their actions, and we LOVE how the siding looks, and what it's doing for us since the install (Alside Ascend vinyl). We went ahead and replaced soffit, facia and even had new gutters formed and installed - and not once did they pressure us for those additional items. Just a great experience and we're so glad we went with SWG. Thanks! read more

We had Siding and Windows Group come out among a batch of 4 other companies for a roof and siding replacement after last August's hail damage. Here's how they stood out: They had excellent communication. From Angelo's estimate all the way to passing inspection, they were on top of their game. The estimate had every combination of options listed with exactly what they were going to do and photos of the planned work. We were assigned a field supervisor (Justin, I believe?) who would come out on the same day to inspect any issues we brought up. Our contact with the office via Cindy and Anthony was also superb and always timely. The work was done swiftly and well. The roofers were done before I got back from work. Siding and gutters are more involved, but they did excellent there as well and Roman et al. were excellent to work with, took feedback very well (see communication above), and were very hard and efficient workers. All in all, we were done with our project long before other houses in the same subdivision who had all signed up with doorknocker companies, and they delivered a high level of quality. To be clear, their estimate was slightly higher (my gut says 10% higher, but it's been a while since I reviewed the proposals) than some other offers we received, but for the work that we were doing, level of customization, and communication, we wouldn't make a different choice. Absolutely a pleasure to work with. Thank you, Siding and Windows Group! read more

Just had SWG complete the third and final phase of our home's exterior renovation. This time, we had the front of the house re-sided with Hardie and re-windowed with Marvin. So glad to be finally rid of the old single-pane and storm windows. The old cedar siding was faded but still serviceable, but it made more sense to replace it now rather than spend the money to paint it and replace it later. Team lead Marcin and his crew went above and beyond on this project to get everything just right. No surprise here, as they also did a terrific job on the previous phase of our renovation. Thanks SWG for the great work! read more

I couldn't be happier with the job FAV did on our basement rehab. We asked them to replace the bar area and replace all the window casings in our basement, and do some touch-ups to our kitchen. Everything came out flawlessly. read more

Angelo stopped by my family members house this morning to give us an estimate. However, the suspected window and siding damage he said was limited to the window trim and some siding which they can't help with. He did refer us to a painting restoration company that does carpentry work which I've already contacted. Thank you Angelo for your honest feedback and direction! Much appreciated and we'll be in touch if the damage is worse than expected. read more

The initial contact with SWG was good. This project was primarily to replace original windows in a 120 year old building. The windows were painted with lead paint so they had to go unfortunately. They sent someone out that took measurements of the windows, asked questions about the project, and sent over a proposal. The final document was signed end of May 2021. We were told the windows were ordered and would arrive by June-July. We hear back in July that they have our windows and will place us on their waiting list for installation, which was estimated to take ~10 weeks. I kept reaching out once a month to our project manager to know if there was a more accurate estimate. The project manager never reached out to me to keep me updated. Every time, they would say there were 2-3 projects ahead of us. This went on for about 4 months. In mid November, we hear that we are next and if we're available for installation in a week. We say yes and set a date. Day before that they cancel due to weather and set a date for Monday before Thanksgiving. They cancel again due to weather. They continue to set dates and cancel due to weather, wet pavement (but that isn't a problem the next day even though the pavement is still wet from previous day's snow), communication issues between the installers and the project manager, etc. Each time it was scheduled, I'd have to accommodate it my calendar, wake up early, and move furniture around in case they came. Once they cancelled, I'd then move furniture back and reschedule. Rinse and repeat. Finally once they started with the install, I confirmed again with the project manager that the windows are lead and need to be treated as such. The PM and the installers assured me that all precautions would be taken. No lead precautions were taken. One of the windows was removed and transported through my condo and left wood chips with paint as it went. After the installation, I found debris. I had to encourage my pregnant wife to stay with a friend during the day because we didn't deem the environment safe for her. This is completely unacceptable for a hazardous material. The primary motive for replacing the windows in the first place was to remove lead. I've attached pictures of the lead paint left after the installation. read more

We are absolutely thrilled to have worked with the Siding and Windows group to install Fiber Cement siding, new windows and trim on our 100+ year single family home. I found it difficult to find any local recommendations, so looked on yelp and was impressed with their reviews. Beforehand our house had tired old peeling and warped cedar wood which was on its last legs and is now a sleek contemporary looking home. Rather than the worst looking house in the street, it is now the best! It has added real value to our home. Hubert was fantastic dealing with us and discussing our options, worked with us on budget and the option to apply for 0% financing that they arranged was also just what we needed to secure the deal. They were very honest with the timeline on how long it would take to start (about 6 weeks) as the weather had put back other projects. Hubert always responded to my emails quickly with questions and last minute changes. It took 3 weeks total from start to finish, including installing 3 new windows and the 2 guys who worked on our house were very respectful of ours and our neighbors property, tidied up every evening, and a delight to work with. They worked very hard in hot weather over the summer, but never complained. They even kept for us a Chicago Sunday Tribune from 1924 which they found under the siding. It was great to work with such a professional company and I would highly recommend them. read more

UPDATE: Kudos to the team at SWG for quickly and effectively resolving the items noted in my original post below (included for reference). Cindy has been great in connecting with me to ensure all remaining work was scheduled and completed on time. I couldn't be happier with the work Roman, Mario and their crews did on our recent project. If you are looking for Siding and related work, look no further! Pros: * Quality of work - outstanding quality and professional crew * Efficiency - very quick to generate the quote, renderings and installation * Resourceful - team needed to track down some additional siding to finish the job Cons: Initially there was some issue with communication and it could be improved. That said, I have to give credit to the team at SWG for providing more timely updates and status of the work. --------------------------------- Original Post: This is the second time I am working with Siding and Windows Group (SWG). After researching a few siding contractors, went with Sidings and Windows group for vinyl siding, fascia, soffits and gutters. My experience the first time around was excellent for many reasons - price, quality and speed to completion. After moving to a new home, didn't even question looking at another contractor given my experience with Angelo, Franz and the team at Siding and Windows Group. Current Work: Vinyl siding, downspout replacement, garage door trim and post replacement, fascia/soffit repair. For context, wanted to provide events to date: * Signed a contract at the beginning of August and was given an estimate of work to begin in about a month given some of the backlog in materials * Mid-September through end of November: Called to request updates, was given a few different dates over the course of three months, but material finally arrived end of November. While the delay in production is not an SWG issue, communication was always initiated by us for updates. * Beginning of December: Started work but was informed that SWG ran out of siding so will need to work to find more in inventory elsewhere. SWG was not sure of the status of the other materials needed that were originally on the order (Hardie board) Hoping to give Siding and Windows Group a 5-star review once the work is completed. While the delay from the siding manufacturer is out of their control and has not been factored into my rating, there are enough opportunities around communication, product ordering, etc. that I feel objectively justifies the review. read more

I appreciate your response HOWEVER..... I have talked at length with your office and had 3 home visits form Neil. I'm not sure what further action you expect from me. You have implied in your comment I was not responsive. Ironic and misleading. read more

I'm happy to say that 5 years later, my Hardie Siding install by Siding and Windows Group my house still looks as perfect as the day it was installed. Windows and doors are all leak-free. read more

Right from the start I got a good feeling that these guys were going to be different. Their salesman Hubert came out to our house and spent several hours with my wife and I discussing out goals for the complete project, time line, concerns etc and never did I feel pressure to make a rash decision. We decided to have Siding Group do new Hardie siding on our entire house after removing the old aluminum siding along with complete gutters, sofit and facia and a completely new front porch and beaded dougfir ceiling. I can not say enough good things and about the whole team at Siding Group. Straight from the top Greg (the owner) is VERY hands on and really went the extra mile to make sure we were overly comfortable and happy with every step of the project and even the small couple of items that came up along the way we addressed extremely quickly and without argument. I should also mention that Roman & Ziggy who were the main two guys on our project were nothing short of top notch craftsman for sure!! Our house was built in 1891 and has settled a bit in certain places over those 120+ years so there was quite a few on the job customizations required to make it all look right and they were AWESOME!!! Before this gets much longer I just want to say that I can't imagine any company in this field being any better than these guys and if you have any doubt feel free to drop me a note and you can swing by our house and see their work in person. read more

Special thanks to Angelo and his entire team for taking on and completing a small soffit replacement project for us! Best part is, it gave us an opportunity to see how his company fully operates from start to finish on a job, and we were very pleased. When the time comes that we can afford to move forward and install siding on our new home, we will be contacting them. No question! Highly recommended! read more

We are very happy with the Siding & Windows Group team. We purchased a house in Lakeview (Chicago, IL) this summer. The siding was old, compromised, and needed a facelift. We contacted a number of siding vendors but only Bart Borowski from the Siding & Windows Group always returned our calls and replied to emails quickly, answered questions, provide alternatives to customize our home, referred us to various sites in the City where they were doing work, and worked with us on the pricing. Once the work on our house began, Yolanda stopped by almost daily to oversee the work/progress. The crew doing the work, from tear down and installation, were efficient, cleaned/organized the material and equipment at the end of each day, and kept us informed if they came across something unexpected and did all of the trouble-shooting. Greg checked in with us regularly about progress and trouble-shooting as well. Greg, Yolanda, and the crew were completely transparent throughout the entire process and went out of their way to assure that we remained and felt like a priority. The work was completed within the time frame we were given (about 4 weeks for a 2 story single family house including the garage. While the Siding & Windows Group may not have been the lowest quote, their rates did remain competitive, the quality of their product and work is excellent, and their customer service is exceptional. They're an Elite Preferred James Hardie Provider and these are all of the reasons why. We highly recommend this team and the are very happy with the final product. Thanks again! read more

We just finished a huge project on our 118 year-old home. Siding & Windows Group did the new Hardie siding, new windows, and new porch. It took a while to get the project off the ground, and there were a few hiccups, but in the end, Greg did everything he needed to do to make us happy. And we are very happy. The crews were professional and did quality work. A shout-out to Tom and to Patrick for their extra care and attention. We'd use these guys again. read more

The worst customer service, I would give NEGATIVE stars... they must have fakes post reviews. Please private message me as to why... rude managers. It just contacts out...hit or miss. read more

I want you to know that nearly every day during the last 22 months that I have stepped outside my home or returned home, I have see the tremendous work you and your contractors did on my home. The entirely new siding, soffits, fascia, gutters, downspouts and several new windows make this place look like new. I only wish we'd do something about the inside! ;) I think, "Wow, we were really lucky to have Greg and his people do this work. It's flawless." The quality of your work, the standards your guys adhered to throughout this / my long job, and your willingness to ensure my complete satisfaction was like nothing I had experienced from any contractor before. It's clear you take your five-star rating pretty damn seriously! ;) read more

From the first experience I had with Windows and Siding Group to the end it was a pleasure dealing with this company. Julie, my salesperson, was very knowledgeable about what needed to be done and the best way to do it. We decided to completely re-side the house, also doing all the fascia and soffits. The communications with the company was great. They kept us informed about when to expect the work to begin. The crew they sent to take down the old siding and put up the new James Hardie was great! They were professional and courteous. The job they did was great. The job site was kept clean and at the end I didn't have to clean up anything. My 46 year old house looks new again. There is no doubt I would use them again. I highly recommend them. read more

I recently purchased a raised ranch in Arlington Heights. The house had vinyl clad siding that was at least 30 years old, and while it was not in horrible shape, it was very tired looking. I contacted several vendors about replacing my roof, gutters, and siding. Siding and Windows Group spent time with me listening to exactly what I wanted and provided an extremely thorough and detailed proposal. They were not the cheapest quote I received (nor the most expensive), but they were the company I felt most comfortable working with. There was no upselling, no pressure, no incessant phone calls. The crews were professional, prompt, friendly, and did amazing work. They cleaned up at the end of every day. They kept me apprised of any issues that arose, and informed me of how the problems would be resolved. They even set aside all of the metal that they removed from my house and took it to be recycled, instead of tossing it in the landfill, for which I was very grateful. Any time I had a question, I received a prompt response. My house looks fabulous and I couldn't be happier with the work. read more

Communication in the initial planning stages was very thorough. They were even willing to negotiate a bit on the price as compared to other Hardie installers. However after the contract was signed, the company was completely unresponsive. The project was completed and it does look great but no one told us when it would start, what days the workers would be here or not be here... it was very unprofessional. read more

Update: They came and visited me personally. We were able to work through the issue & it is fully resolved to my satisfaction. Thanks!

They completed the tear off of all of the old siding and trim plus the installation of hardie board shake and siding on our 1920s Sears craftsman home in June 2017. We had them replicate the band board and drip cap details original to the home and install new gutters as well. They were on time every day, extremely friendly and courteous and above all well qualified to perform the job. read more

Siding & Windows Group did a fantastic job! They replaced our dark brown Tudor with bright Hardie Board to create the Craftsman style I envisioned. We also used them for all our windows, exterior doors, fascia, and gutters. They are extremely responsive and stuck to their timeline. They also use a very helpful rendering software to help you picture your design, which I loved. I would definitely recommend!! read more

The Siding Group are truly professional Hardie installers. After the siding replacement they did the house looks like new again. The employ skilled and caring installers and made the entire experience very satisfying. The entire process from estimate provided by Hubert to the scheduling by Greg and the actual work done by Matt, Kashi and Kamil was 5 star! Our job took 2 weeks to complete but I loved how meticulous to detail they are and took pride in their work. It's worth every penny spent not to mention the price was competitive. They deliver on everything in the contract and cleaned up after the job site was completed. I recommend the Siding Group to anyone looking for quality work period but the bonus is at a good price as well! read more

Recently had my roof done thru these guys. They were very professional and did a great job. To me the price was very important, which they were very cheap. I definitely recommend them. Thank you Greg! read more

**Update: I received an email in regards to my review within an hour of the post stating they were having phone issues.** I just called to inquire about roof repairs and the woman hung up. Called back and inquired again and AGAIN she hung up. Maybe this business should seriously consider removing the "roofing" services if they are not interested in talking about it. AWFUL customer service. read more

First and for most, I want to start off by saying thank you to Angelo for coming to a strangers home and presenting what the siding and windows group had to offer. Overall the siding and windows group was very professional from day one. My wife and I decided to change the color of the siding during the construction process and I know how frustrating this can be for a group of hard working individuals. I spoke with Greg the project manager about our concerns and he did not hesitate or argue with us about changing the colors, which I thought was going to be a problem. Greg was professional and kind by stating, "Our company is about satisfaction to our clients, I want you to come home and be happy about your decision and color of the siding and not second guess what, I should have done." My wife and I were so happy and relieved that the change was done without any hassles, throughout the whole project that took two weeks, Greg and I were in touch with any problems or concerns that we had till the end of the project. The two hard working individuals that labored throughout the whole project from demo to dealing with me and making our home beautiful was Jacob and Ziggy. The enthusiasm Jacob and Ziggy bring to the table is a personality trait that cannot be learnt and a skill which cannot be taught, because the two of them work like a well oiled machine, both of them deserve a RAISE. My wife and I are hoping that we can work with Siding and windows group again in the near future. read more

Work crew was excellent - follow up by management was always considerate and professional

Type in the code words and read the filtered reviews for this company. (This is the kind of business that does such a great job that people join Yelp to say something nice about them and since they only write that one review it is filtered) In the past 5 years we have been through various tradesmen and had some negative experiences - businesses like Siding Group (Greg Bednardski and crew) renew our faith in mankind. We took the time to drive around and look at their extensive list of finished work in Chicago, we actually got to talk to some of the people who were outside, they were all Very Happy with this company. Get a quote, get the list. Go look for yourself. Do NOT hire an inexperienced Hardieboard Installer. read more

The Siding and Windows Group did such an exceptional job and our house looks absolutely beautiful. Our neighbors have all commented on the transformation and we couldn't be happier with the overall project. Greg, John and the crew were on top of it every step of the way and communicated anything that came up. Will be sure to recommend them to everyone we know. read more

Excellent professional company. Installed hardy board on entire house and replaced a number of windows. Quality job. Worked weekend to keep on schedule. Cleaned up everything when done. Also fixed up a few things along the way that were not part of the contract. Pleasure to work with. Plan to hire again for additional windows and doors. read more

First of all, I seldom rate any company or service at the highest level. In this case, the Siding Group certainly warrants the highest level of praise - they exceeded our expectations in every area. We had Hardie Board installed on our home and garage, plus several new windows were installed. The workmanship and attention to detail were outstanding. The quote was competitive, but now that the work is complete - I consider it a bargain. Our home looks brand new! The crew (Michael and Lester) was very professional and respectful of our home. There was no damage to our landscaping and they cleaned up at the end of each day (including sweeping the drive to ensure no nails remained). They do outstanding work. The management (Greg and Bart) answers calls directly or calls back within a very short time. They are fair and a pleasure to work with. In short, we received the type of experience that I always hope for but seldom receive. We are very happy that we chose to do business with the Siding Group and we recommend them to others without reservation. read more

Our house looked terrible before the Siding Group. We wanted to get the front redone with James Hardie Board and then one side needed to be redone with regular vinyl siding. We also needed repair to the soffit and gutters all around the house. We got estimates from several places, but Siding Group was by far the most affordable. The work was done on time, very efficiently, and everything went perfectly. The guy who did the estimate, Hubert, came and went over everything with us while he took measurements, etc. Greg came out to the job site, answered all of our questions, and coordinated his work with another contractor doing some work on our porch. Before the work, our house was the worst on the block in terms of curb appeal. Now, we are so happy with the way it looks and with the service from Siding Group! read more

First if you don't speak with this company for siding or roofing - YOUR a fool. I have never worked with such a professional organization. From working with Sales (Angelo) who had great suggestions as well as patience. Matt the Foreman of the job was nothing but attentive, kind, and great with suggestions. He went above and beyond to assist me with getting the job correct and right. The quality and attention to detail on the job was superior to any other. This project scared me because of the cost and how huge of a decision this was for me. Angelo was able to get renderings of my house and was able to show it with the different color schemes to make my decision a correct one. I have gotten neighbors and strangers coming to ask who did the work and questions about the Hardi plank I had installed. It looks fabulous and I'm sure increased the value of my home 2 times over. I cannot say enough good things about this company. And guess what? I got them on YELP based on the reviews. They were not the most expensive, nor the cheapest - But they were the most professional and the best at what they do. Definitely get a quote from them and meet Angelo. You won't waste your time! I wanted to attach a picture of my house before and after but I don't know how to do that on this page. read more

I'll join the chorus here and testify to the great experience I had with Bart and Greg. They replaced all the windows on the first floor of my house in just a few days, and considering the "vintage" of my previous windows, that is quite possibly a miracle. No surprises with price or materials, and the work is top notch! I'll be using their services again. Thank goodness for their Yelp reviews so I could find them in the first place! read more

So I call Siding & Windows Group to set up an estimate on replacing 7 vinyl windows in a the house I purchased as fall. I also wanted some siding repairs included, due to a wind storm in the spring. They set me up with an 8 am appointment with Chuck, on a Friday. Friday 8 am comes and no Chuck, so I wait. By 9 am, I'm furious. I call S&W Group, and speak with some nice woman, who said she would look into it and someone call me back. Then I call Chuck directly, as I remembered they gave me his number. Not only did Chuck sound like he just woke up, he actually said, "I have too many problem right now. I can not make it." He did offer to drive by my house later, and give me a quote based on what he sees and asked about the location of the windows. Around 12:30, I get a call from Chuck, saying he will have to look it the cost from the supplies. Come Monday, I get a text message with an insane quote of $1200 for siding repairs as it is not a stock item, with no mention of windows. I let him know he was mistaken and the quote was for windows with siding repairs. He responded with "You never told me about the windows. And my company would never send me because I'm a repair tech." I jogged his memory by telling him that he even asked about the location of the windows. Then he remembered. Mind you, he never mentioned this during our first conversation. Also, he didn't know that I had received a couple quotes already, and companies were willing to include the minor siding repairs because I was purchasing so many windows. Unprofessional to say the least. read more

After convincing ourselves that the Hardie products were our preferred choice for siding materials, we did extensive research and obtained bids from five contractors, most of them preferred contractors as rated by Hardie. Ultimately we settled on Siding and Windows Group largely based on the detailed proposal they provided and the responsiveness of their salesperson in answering the multitude of questions we had. The installation crew were professional, skilled and accommodating to letting us "work in" other projects while they were doing their installation. We also found them most reasonable in their pricing when additional work was needed to repair some underlying wood rot. We would have given them 5 stars if it weren't for the internal miscommunication between sales and scheduling that delayed the start of our project by over a month. They weren't the least expensive option we had, but close, and in the end it's about the value received, not just the price....and S&WG delivered in that area. read more

Amazing work!! The Siding and Windows Group was professional, with clear and frequent communication throughout the process. We could not have been happier with the look and quality of the windows and Hardie Board siding that were installed. They even took the time to fix the flashing on our front porch and fix the framing around the windows. It was clear that the work was done with attention to detail so that everything was done right. When it comes time for us to redo our front porch, we will definitely be calling The Siding and Windows Group again! read more

We used the Siding and Windows Group the first time we had a major siding project and they did an outstanding job. When it came time for us to do a bigger project on our current house, we knew we were going to use them again. They are a great business. Their customer service from quote to close is outstanding and the quality of the work is great. I can't imagine using anyone else. read more
