Tall old windows in an Irving Park home? Non-standard sizes are normal here.
Free, no-obligation estimate · Mon–Fri 7am–9pm CST
Irving Park holds some of the oldest housing on the Northwest Side, including large frame homes with tall, narrow windows that predate anything resembling a standard size. Catalog dimensions rarely apply.
That is not a problem, but it does mean measuring properly and ordering to the opening rather than to the nearest stock size. A window forced into an opening it does not fit is a draft you will feel for years.
Tall sashes, transoms above the main window, and openings that have shifted with the house all show up here. Each one is measurable and each one is workable; none of them is guessable.
If a previous owner already replaced some windows badly, say so. Correcting a poor earlier installation is a normal part of the job in these houses.

Ordered to the measured opening, not squeezed into a stock dimension.
Common in older frame homes here and planned as part of the opening.
Poorly fitted previous replacements corrected rather than worked around.
