    Before and after

    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!

    Lead paint chip left behind after the installation

    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.

    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.

    Do you install Pella Windows?

    Yes, we install Pella, as well as Marvin, Alside, ClimateGuard, Advanced, Andersen and Simonton windows.

    Can new siding be installed over existing cedar siding? Thanks!

    Hi, thanks for asking this question. Yes, it can, but it depends on some important variables involved. Such as the condition of the wood, the age of existing siding - those are a couple examples. If you'd like to get some more information, please…

Not only do the new windows look sleek and modern, but the entire process was top-notch from start to finish. What really stood out to us was their honesty. While other companies tried to sell us on full-frame replacements, SHS actually advised us to go with insert replacements. They pointed out that our house has high-density older wood framing that was worth preserving. Following their advice preserved the character and strength of our home while saving us a significant amount of money. Their communication was excellent throughout the project, and the installation crew was fantastic: punctual, respectful, and meticulous about keeping the worksite clean. On top of that, their guarantee is rock-solid. I feel completely confident that this was a lifelong investment and that they will stand by their work if anything ever comes up down the road. If you're looking for high-quality window replacement with an honest team you can trust, highly recommend Scientific Home Services.

I would recommend this place to any family or friend if they are replacing windows. They may be pricier but you pay for the great service and professionalism and good quality windows. When I got my large picture window replaced, the team made sure to put covers on their shoes, left no mess, cleaned up and got rid of the old window. I am now 5 years in and the windows are in just as good of shape since when I purchased.

We learned that the old windows were not even windows by today's standards, they were just huge panes of glass that gave no insulation. He measured the windows so quickly (like 2 minutes) that I wondered if the windows world 3 actually fit (they did!). The price was extremely reasonable; we had intended to get three estimates but my mom and I both lined Kris so much we decided to go with him right away. I chose a day for installation when Kris was going to be out of town on vacation so he let me decide if we wait to wait until he got back or if we wanted him to send his right hand man Daniel. We went with Daniel who showed up right on time on a cold morning. I thought removing the old badly cracked panes of glass would be very difficult. I was right but they got the old ones out quickly and the new ones in so fast and they finished about 30 minutes before their estimate. They only removed one window at a time and our house never got cold on a 33 degree day This was one of the best customer experiences for a project I have ever had. I chose EV Windows after asking CharGBT to find me a great window company with very good reviews and I'm so glad I did. I do not have one negative thing to say. I most strongly recommend Kris and his team.

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.

When I called to speak to Max he was very genuine and upfront with all the information he provided and honestly he had the best prices in the North Shore. As a Realtor in Northbrook it is always great to have access to a company / CEO who cares about his clients. Max delivered exceptional service and great pricing. His installation was flawless and the people who did the job were very respectful. They wore masks and cleaned up very nicely. I highly recommend Max and all Star for your homes window and sliding glass door replacements. I even got to shoot some Billiards with Max wow. Besides being a great window businessman he is also a great pool player. A+ Thanks Sam Rosengarten Coldwell Banker Northbrook / Home owner

My experience working with All Star was great from start to finish and exactly what you would hope for in a contractor. Dave responded quickly to evaluate the project, he was attentive to my concerns and what I needed, and he presented me with a range of quality and price options. Based on my research and competing quotes, the cost for my chosen option was reasonable. I wanted better windows and I knew they would take a while longer to manufacture. Unfortunately, we were up against a deadline with winter coming and weren't able to sneak the job in before the weather turned consistently bad. It was definitely worth waiting for though. On the day of installation, the crew arrived on time, were very professional, and they did a fantastic job. I would definitely hire All Star again for another project based on price, quality, and service. (This next piece will not be of interest to everyone, but if you are a single female homeowner, I think you know what I'm talking about when I say that a genuinely respectful contractor who listens and doesn't just flex, lecture you, and then try to hard sell you something you don't want is a gem. Dave never asked where the man of the house was either, so thank you for that. Amazing that I have to be grateful for being respected but that's where we are. Thank you, Dave.)

We had two condo units in our building update windows as well as two back hallway windows, and Jacob provided a highly competitive quote. He was kind and patient when we waited for other unit owners in the building to decide, and did not push us to move quicker or make a decision when we were not yet ready. Ordering windows took a few weeks and teams on install day moved swiftly and kept the area clean after! I also want to note that we live on the 3rd floor of a condo building and many contractors said they could not install and/or needed additional materials, external infrastructure and costs to do the project, but Jacob made it seamless with bringing windows up the stairs, and doing an internal install, which incurred no extra install costs. This was also great as it did not impact our neighbors and kept the project contained and clean. Jacob really cares about being transparent and has earned our trust, and I would 100% recommend him and his team to anyone looking to install new windows in their home. Overall, we really highly recommend Jacobs 1 Construction! I cannot say enough great things about the quality of their work, competitive pricing, and their dedication to their customers.

They came out to measure everything we needed, quoted us on what we wanted and a few other optional windows as well since we were debating on doing everything at once. After selecting the quote for the windows we wanted to get done, a down payment was made and the windows were ordered. They came in a few weeks later and two of their team members came out to install them in the morning. Everything was done quickly and professionally with care. After the install, I had a question about one of the windows since it looked like there was a small crack at the top corner and they sent someone out to look at it right away. It turned out it was just some glue residue that was attached on the inside of the window that made it look like a crack and was easly scraped off with a razor blade. I definitley recommend using Semko as they provided a very reliable service and also beat out many other window companies with their competitive pricing.
