This is a really reputable place. I have an old Chicago house that's probably about 110 years old…read more I used Chicago Window & Door Solutions to replace wood windows from the 1960s that had stopped working and several vinyl windows (8 years old) that had started to fall apart. I was really mad about the vinyl windows because the former owner had installed them pretty new, but they literally were about to fall out of the wall. We had to lock them to keep them in place. The previous owner had the original windows replaced, but the installer of the vinyl windows did not insulate around the frame and cold air kept leaking in. The wood windows would rattle on a windy day. I found out about Chicago Window & Door Solutions through a recommendation from another contractor who was repairing my original wood windows - he said he wouldn't work with anyone else - so that tells you something! Sue & Greg came out to meet with us, took measurements and talked about our options. They install Marvin windows. Know that they aren't the cheapest option. For that you can go anywhere, but know in about 8 years, you're going to be replacing them. But I found that they listened to what we were looking for - which for me was energy efficiency as a top priority. I liked that there was the chance to get a wooden interior on the windows. It allowed us to match the stain on sill and border opening - so now these windows look like they belong and do not look like replacements. We opted to stain the windows ourselves and they gave suggestions of how to do it. More importantly, they came out twice (next day!) when we had questions/concerns. Justin came to do the install and he removed and installed six windows and fixed a sill in a day and a half - plus he cleaned up after himself! If you've ever had workmen come into your house, you know what a mess they can leave. I am really happy with the new windows. They are beautiful, they are much more energy efficient than what I had and really block out the noise. I live on a two-way street in Chicago & they have made the house much quieter than the windows I had before.

The technician has already visited and the actual repair is being addressed. We all have bad days now and then. All is well. ---------- Earlier: I'm extremely frustrated. Tayloe Glass scheduled a 9 am appointment at my home today. When they hadn't arrived by 10 am, I called to confirm that they had us on the schedule. The person I spoke with said he'd reach out to the technician and let me know. At 11:30, no word from Tayloe. Called again and told they pulled the wrong work order/that the truck broke down but would be here in 20 minutes. It's 2:30 pm. No word, no show. All I want is a REALISTIC timeframe of when to expect them -- or if they needed to cancel. I've wasted the whole day waiting at home. This company has great ratings. I cannot comment on the quality of their work, however their communication with me has been atrocious.

Everyone I spoke with on the phone or in person was professional, patient and informative. My knowledge of door and home security was updated and upgraded.

He informed me that I needed a commercial door, when I asked did he have a display door, I was taken to the back door of their building to view a commercial door. I immediately informed him again, that I was looking for a front entry door. He walked me back to the front and preceded to search for the store catalog. When Bryan found the book he slung it across the table at me. The service was terrible, he repeatedly told me that the door I wanted would cost around $5000 on up. I made him aware that the price didn't matter I was interested in a quality door for my building. The service was just rude and disrespectful.

We have been using DeVila Windows since last year. The owner is Antonio DeAvila who happens to be a…read morevery personable and hands-on character. Jen and I are currently renting out a condo and since renting from the landlord we have encountered numerous problems, the likes of which include window issues. Last year we could hardly get the windows to go up and the tabs to hold the windows in broke off. The windows are the kind that you can pull in to clean--they have no storms, just a screen. Actually, the top window is secure--can't do anything with it. The bottom window is where the problems have occurred. Well as it happens, Jen recommended using Antonio. Told me that Antonio had done work for her parent's house way back when, and her mother really liked the work the guy did. We contacted the landlord and made the arrangements for him to come out. So we were quite happy that we had him to work on the windows. We used him again, about two weeks ago for the same problem with another window. The work was done in less than 20 minutes. Awesome! Antonio is very professional; a little on the chatty-side (fine with me), and will explain what he is about to do, and when completed, will describe to you what he has done and he gets the work done fast. His prices are also very reasonable. He also does other work-related construction projects. I'm recommending DeVila Windows because he really does a great job and makes you feel like you have someone who not only knows what he is doing but walks you through the whole process as he is working.

Antonio's very responsive and returned my email promptly. I liked how he used phone call and text updates. He was really great scheduling a time that worked with my work schedule. When he came for the estimate, he provided a couple different options for the window replacement. His prices are very reasonable and his work was great. He orders his glass made from a professional glass manufacturer because he finds the quality control is more consistent that some glass companies that self-manufacture. Initially, I got an estimate at another place would not replace individual window panes/metal frames and "only the whole window" which was more wasteful and costly. It's nice to have all my windows fixed now. Antonio gave me recommendations to keep the window runners working well. He's a very personable guy. I would strongly recommend his services for your window needs.

Can, the owner of Blink Window Shades & More, has been our go-to for window treatments and handyman…read morework for many years--and we can't recommend him enough! We first met him when he was an installer for another blinds company, and his professionalism and top-notch workmanship stood out from the start. Since then, he has installed blinds and shades in our past two homes and consistently delivered excellent results. I was initially referred to Can by my mother-in-law, who uses him for all her properties, including high-end condos and rental units in downtown. She even trusts him as her handyman. We recently moved into a new home that came with existing Hunter Douglas blinds. When we reached out to them for additional shades to match, the quote we received was astronomically high. That's when I knew I had to contact Can. I learned he had started his own company, Blink, and he was able to offer us nearly identical, high-quality battery-operated shades--at 80% less than the big-name brand! The shades took about a month to arrive, and he installed all eight in a single day. They look fantastic, function perfectly, and match our existing blinds beautifully--all at a fraction of the cost. We're thrilled with the outcome. We put another order for two manual shades in our master closet, $400 installed for both! That is cheaper than buying rods, curtains, and installing them. One note: He primarily speaks Cantonese and has limited English, but enough to get the job done and what you want. Communication is easy through text, and he's always responsive and clear. We're so happy with the work and wouldn't hesitate to recommend Blink to anyone looking for high-quality, affordable blinds and excellent service! He is always my go to blind person and I have had several friends use him who were also super happy with their blinds and installation.

Not only did the gentleman fix the shade, he was able to replace another shade's motor so the set of three shades once again operate together via remote control. It was a bit pricey but way less expensive than replacing all of my family room shades. Happy customer!
