Replacement Windows for Albany Park Homes
A lot of Albany Park housing stock went up in the first half of the last century: brick bungalows, two-flats, and courtyard buildings, most of them with original or early-replacement wood double-hung windows. After that many winters and that many coats of paint, sashes stick, ropes and balances fail, and the gaps around the frame get wider than anyone wants in January.
Those are the calls we take most often here. We will look at whether the frame and opening are sound, what size replacement will actually fit, and whether you are better off doing the worst rooms now and the rest next year.
Old Wood Double-Hungs: What to Expect
Replacing an original wood double-hung is rarely just a swap. The opening may be out of square, the sill may have soft spots, and the interior trim is often something you want to keep intact. We plan around all three.
If you want the finished window to read the same from the street, say so early. The grille pattern and sash proportions can be matched much more closely when that is part of the plan from the start.
What This Means for Your Albany Park Project
Two-flats and multi-unit
Replacing windows across two or three units at once has its own sequencing. We will walk through it.
Keeping the interior trim
Where the existing casing is worth keeping, the installation approach changes. We plan for it.
Room-by-room phasing
Doing the coldest rooms first is a legitimate plan, not a failure to commit.

Albany Park Window Questions We Hear
My windows are painted shut — is replacement the only fix?
Not always, but if the sash cords are gone and the frame has moved, replacement is usually the practical answer. Describe it on the phone and we will tell you honestly.
Can you match the look of my original windows?
Grille patterns and sash proportions can be matched fairly closely. Exact historic reproduction is a different and more expensive project.
Do you work on two-flats?
Yes. Multi-unit buildings are common here and we handle them regularly.
