Free, no-obligation estimate · Mon–Fri 7am–9pm CST
Much of Elmwood Park went up in the postwar decades: brick ranches, Georgians and cape-style homes, many still carrying their original steel or early aluminum windows. Those frames conduct cold straight through, and the operating hardware is usually long past its best.
Replacing them changes how a room feels in winter more than most people expect, because the frame itself was a large part of the problem.
An old metal frame set into masonry has to be removed or worked around carefully. It is a different job from pulling a wood sash, and the perimeter detail is where the quality shows.
Sizes in these homes tend to repeat across the elevation, which usually makes a full-house plan simpler and better value than replacing one window at a time.

Postwar homes often have consistent openings, which simplifies a whole-house plan.
