I needed two compliant escape/rescue windows put into Chicago basement bedrooms to replace some older double-hung windows that in no way left a big enough opening for folks to get out. Despite some less-than-enthusiastic responses from other companies, Peter Pane's responded promptly to my job request on Yelp and Ron (who has 40yrs of windows experience!) scheduled to come onsite only a few days out for a review of my needs and to give a firmer quote. One of the window frames was too small for a legal-sized rescue window to just be swapped in, but when I explained my goal to meet code, Ron was able to think through some more difficult-to-install and less common options to put in a larger window (I ended up going with a casement window there and taking out existing framing). I also had concerns about the more common type of window suggested for the other room (he was trying to be price-conscious for me because it's a large one) - and he was concerned about longevity if I got something like a reverse hopper window because of how close to the weight limit that one would be. He was able to suggest a Tilt & Turn window instead, which is uncommon in the States but was exactly what that room needed! Both windows required a custom order and Peter Panes pushed the manufacturer to get the windows made as quickly as possible for me since I was planning for occupants soon. Both windows were done at the earliest point in their estimates (about 4wks) and they scheduled install ASAP. Jensen, Connor, and Ron showed up at my place last week with both windows in tow. We had originally thought some drywall work might be required to fit the expanded window into the first room, but these guys were all pros and were able to adjust the framing and finagle a change in the latch direction on the casement window to make it fit perfectly without having to cut any drywall! They made sure to keep some of the original framing as a template to make a new exterior that matched the arched brick lintel so the outside looks great, too. The second, larger window went in easily and they were meticulous with sealing the outside with foam and the inside with high-quality caulk along the edges. They left the space completely clean, were easy to work with, and were both respectful and non-patronizing (particularly if you are a woman hiring contractors in Chicago, you may unfortunately know how rare that can be!). Both windows look great and work just like I need them to be escape/rescue window code-compliant. The process was smooth from beginning to end, the team was efficient and cleaned up after themselves, and they brought a lot of knowledge to the table. I can definitely sleep at night knowing they helped me get just the right windows with a high quality install and at a fair price. If I ever have any more windows replaced, I will absolutely be calling the team at Peter Panes.

When I first realized i needed to replace our french doors leading out to our backyard I had no…read moreidea how expensive they would be. I had a little bit of sticker shock from the first quote so decided this would be worth getting multiple quotes on. And Home Build was one of them due to their stellar Yelp reviews. I called them and they were able to send Oscar out right away. They told me to save 60 -90 min for the consultation, which seemed like a lot of time considering every other company just needed 5-10 min of my time. However, i was willing to invest the time for the right doors and right price. Oscar and i met for over an hour. He was super friendly and knowledgeable about all my door options. He brought along a presentation (via his ipad), as well as materials so we got it all done within that hour. The other companies took a lot less, but resulted in a few trips to my house and lots of back and forth via email. I honestly probably prefer the latter since less time all at once. In the end I went with a different company due to price, but thought this company offered a good product at competitive pricing so would be worth looking into them.

The team at Cook County Windows were outstanding. I took a chance on them despite seeing very few…read morereviews online and I'm glad I did--I had a great experience. I needed them to replace a window at my house that was beyond repair. They came out quickly, measured the window, gave me clear options, and quoted me a reasonable price. Easy. Unlike other companies, they were willing to take the job even though I only needed one window replaced for now. (When we decide to replace the rest, they've earned my business.) They had the replacement window custom made very fast (less than 2 weeks) and scheduled the installation immediately. Communication was easy and responsive over text/phone. The work on-site taking out the old window and installing the new one was professional, spotless, and efficient. The new window is very high-quality. It's now clear how second-rate the original window installation was (before we bought the place). I couldn't be happier and am very glad I found these guys. They're go-getters launching a good business. I wish all home repair companies were as easy to work with. A+.

Barry understood our needs, the price was less than some of the other competitors but not so much that I worried about quality. From ordering the custom door to the date of install was only a couple of weeks. On the date of install, Nick arrived early and got right to work. The door was installed, looks great and Nick did a great job of cleaning up. I had a question about the door the next day and Barry came out and cleared up that question in minutes. We will definitely use thermalcraft in the future!

That level of customer service really stood out. They replaced three original basement windows, installed four custom polycarbonate window well covers, cleaned the wells, added fresh gravel, checked the drains, and resealed the existing galvanized wells. What I appreciated most was their honesty. Instead of trying to sell me new window wells, they recommended keeping my existing ones since they were still in good shape, especially with future basement renovation plans. The workmanship was excellent, and the before-and-after difference is dramatic. If you're looking for a company that's responsive, honest, and does quality work, I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Window Well Services.
