Had a couple young guys walking the neighborhood asking residents if they needed new windows. I had…read moremost of mine replaced recently, but my living room still had its original windows from 30 years ago. The two guys offered to have someone come out and give us a quote. I thought it would be too small of a job, after all, it was just 3 windows, plus 3 panes of glass above that, and a half circle above that. So I agreed to meet with their rep the following week. Illinois Energy Windows & Siding is one of those companies that insists on both spouses attend the initial meeting. So a nice young man came the following week, measured our windows and sat down with his laptop. I showed him what windows I had replaced less than 5 months ago. He said he needed 30 minutes of our time. After 90 minutes, he still was not done. Sensing our impatience growing, he showed us his quote. Over $29,000 for one room. I told him I had a quote from the company that recently i stalled our other windows. He agreed they were good windows. He pressed a few keys on his laptop, and poof, the price is now $21,000. I told him my quote from the other company was $7,700, and poof, the new price is $19,000. See where I'm going with this? I'm sure this company makes quality windows and I'm sure the installation is fine, and I'm confident they offer a good warranty, but the way the price moved was a clear red flag to stay away from this company.

I've spent several years dealing with this company, and at this point it's clear the customer…read moreservice, communication, and craftsmanship are all unacceptable. I paid 10K for a front door, and the trim paint has been cracking and peeling since day one. Every "repair" has been a joke. The paint never matches, and Mark--the person they keep sending--doesn't bother to mention anything or communicate. I come home to sloppy, half‑done work that looks like a landlord special. One visit, he didn't even finish caulking the base of the door. When I asked him about it later, he said, "I ran out of caulk." That's not an excuse. That's negligence. And instead of fixing it properly, he left it for me to discover and then forced me to call again to get the job completed. It got so bad last year that I demanded the brick molding be replaced because Mark had sanded off the detailing and smeared caulk everywhere trying to cover it up. Only then did the operations manager suddenly show up--unannounced. When he finally called to schedule a real meeting, he made it worse. He told me he'd replace the trim but was "too afraid" to do the work because I'm "so picky" and would "find something else to complain about." Then he actually told me I should be happy because "the door looks good from the road." Instead of owning their mistakes, he tried to make me the problem. Today I opened yet another ticket because the paint is peeling again--on areas they've already "repaired" multiple times. Same pattern: no communication, no follow‑up, and someone shows up to slap on more mismatched paint that doesn't fix anything. This company has repeatedly shown they can't deliver quality work, can't communicate, and can't take responsibility for their own poor craftsmanship.

We chose Mike with Everlast over several other vendors due to quality and Mike's reputation for…read moregreat customer service. We started the process in early January and were told the windows would not be ready until perhaps early March, but were pleasantly surprised when Mike said they were ready early. We would have had them the first week of February had it not been for the famous below 0 degree temperatures in the area that week. We had them installed the second week of February instead. Pros: -Received and had windows installed earlier than anticipated. -Took 2.5 days for all of our 27 windows and back glass door replacement. Due to cold temperatures, they worked one at a time so the house wouldn't get too cold. -was honest and fair on pricing and received referral bonus up front. -Mike always answered our calls with questions promptly and personally would come by to inspect and/or help facilitate letting his vendors in if needed. -You could tell the difference in drafts in the corrected areas from inside day 1. No further drafts and they look great! Cons: -4-5 months after installation and 3 of our 27 windows have leaks. We alerted Mike to this and he sent his worker to take a look - they said it was due to the trim on the outside that they didn't replace. Before installation, they indicated that it is not part of their services to replace. However, they didn't tell us before or during that our trims were so old that they would leak - we would have replaced them prior to the new windows if we knew this. We asked if we needed to replace them before and they said no. One of the windows that is leaking does not even have trim on it. When they came out to resolve, they added caulk around the trim and bent flashing for us for the front windows. The flashing should have been installed in the initial installation to prevent leaks. We are not able to get it installed until the new trim pieces are up... Even though they did not inform us about possible leaks, they should have removed the trim and put a water barrier in place before installation and before new trim was able to be installed. -Mike and his installers have a bit of an issue with taking accountability for issues. We were disappointed when his installers broke the interior of a window upon installation - it was safe to use, and they put cardboard over it, but the resolution took 20 seconds and Mike's installers insist it was somehow the manufacturer's fault. It took weeks for us to have this corrected, even though, again, resolution took 20 seconds. -While in the process of service correction for said window, the manufacturer was inflexible on timing and was scheduling more than a week out. Mike's response was that it isn't in his hands. No apology for the inconvenience of the broken window or the inflexibility of his vendor. -The manufacturing vendor cancelled day of (1 hour before). Reschedule availability wasn't until 10 days later. -The caulking the install team did had bubbles and cracks in some windows and just didn't look like a professional did it. When we told Mike of this issue, he said caulking is an "art" and his people are really just installers and don't need to be perfect at caulking. We personally feel that if installing windows is 100% of their jobs, caulking would be part of that job and they should look 100% well done. We had to redo some of it right off the bat. -Every issue that came up, Mike would just say he hoped we could focus on the positive aspects of the experience. It felt very dismissive. -They left aluminum scraps scattered across the backyard where our young children play. Cleanup in the back specifically was just not done to standards. We referred him to my mother's windows and they generally did okay, but did break one of her personal stained glass art by not being careful. No compensation or resolution was offered, minus an apology. We appreciated his team's work and like the products in general, but there is definitely room for improvement in the customer service department and potentially the product itself with the leaks. Considering part of his selling point was 100% satisfaction, we were left disappointed in that aspect.

Derrick helped me navigate a very challenging situation to rebuild the entire back wall of my home and attached deck due to water damage. Scope: New insulation, plywood sheathing, composite siding, soffit, and fascia for back wall. Replaced rim joist, headers, and other structural wood as needed from water damage. Re-installed windows and sliding glass door incorrectly installed by previous contractor. Rebuilt pressure treated wood deck with improved layout. Derrick's attention to detail and pride in his work translated to a solution that addressed all of my goals and helped me understand mistakes made by previous contractors. He spent hours reviewing options and brainstorming with me as more damage was uncovered and the scope had to expand as we went. Overall, could not be happier with my experience and would highly recommend.

While JJ wasn't the lowest, they were the most comprehensive. For example, all of the other quotes quoted the shingles and work, but JJ Construction quoted shingles, tiles, gutters, and all hardware (new fans/vents/gutters). They are highly skilled. They did not rush the project (who wants a roofer who rushes?) and cleaned up every day. Communication was excellent. They installed Class 4 shingles, which lowered my home owners insurance by 20%. The work quality was top notch. I was highly impressed by JJ Construction and I would recommend them to anyone. Thank you Matt, for a great job.

I can't say I was thrilled when we were in the middle of a bathroom renovation and already pouring…read moreway 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.
