Window Replacement Fixes Aging or Damaged Windows

If your windows feel drafty, fog up between the panes, or will not open right anymore, you are probably looking at window replacement. This service works with an opening that already exists in your home. Crews remove the failing window and set a new one into that same spot. Depending on how solid the existing frame is, that might mean a full-frame replacement or an insert method that works within the frame you have got.

Chicago has a lot of older housing stock, and many of those homes have masonry window openings instead of wood-frame construction. That changes how the frame work gets done.

Exterior Finishing Completes It

Once a new window, door, or skylight is put in, the job is not really done until the trim work is finished. Exterior Finishing covers the trim, capping, and caulk work around a new opening. That finish work is what seals everything up properly and makes it match the rest of your home exterior.

Signs You Likely Need This Service

Complete Window Installation Adds Windows to New or Altered Openings

Building an addition? Finishing a basement? Resizing a wall opening to add more light? That is a different job than swapping an old window. Residential Window Installation covers cases where there is no existing window opening to work with, or where the current opening needs to change size or shape.

Crews frame the new opening first, then set and seal the window unit once the framing is solid. That framing step matters. If it is off even a little, the window will not sit right and you will deal with drafts or water getting in later.

This service comes up a lot with home additions and remodel projects where the layout is changing, not just the windows themselves.

Unlike Window Replacement

This service creates or changes an opening instead of reusing one that is already there.

Overall great experience! Julius was fantastic to work with. He was very attentive to all the details and always there to answer questions and get the job done right. Whenever he said he would take care of something, he took care of it. The crew did a fantastic job and the workmanship was top notch. I can not believe how quickly they did a full replacement of our sheathing and roof shingles and still did a high quality job. They left the worksite spotlessly clean. We are getting lots of compliments from our neighbors on how good our roof looks. If you want your roof done right, go with this company.

Our sales specialist Ronny was awesome through the whole initial process and quoted me a very reasonable estimate to re-shingle garage roof and repair main roof shingles that blew off from heavy winds. The crew came and did an excellent job in one day and left the area clean as it was before. Will definitely use Horizon again and recommend them to everyone that needs any type of roofing work! -Ignacio

Our contact at Horizon Restoration was Art. He worked with our insurance company for over a year and a half to have our roof and siding replaced. The other persons behind the scenes at the office who were instrumental in assisting Art were Paul-Manager, Ruby-who was in charge of all correspondence, Jack-Install Manager who coordinated the crews for both the siding and roof, Claudio-On Site Roofing Manager and Mike-On Site Siding Manager. They worked seamlessly as a team and were always available when we had any questions or concerns. It is so nice to have Horizon Restoration going to bat for us. Especially Art whose experience and knowledge was so key in getting our insurance company to approve the replacement of our roof and siding. Our roof and siding look so nice we highly recommend Art and Horizon Restoration to anyone in need of their services. Thank you Art and Horizon for everything.

No Cracked Glass?
Your Hail-Damaged Windows May Still Be Covered by Insurance

What a Full Storm Inspection Checks For

Hail can dent, warp, or fracture window frames and exterior components, potentially qualifying the entire window for replacement under your homeowners insurance policy.

Other Window Services

Bright living room opening onto a patio through sliding glass doors

Patio Door Replacement

Sliding glass door hard to open, or letting in cold air around the edges? Exterior Door Replacement covers entry doors, patio doors, and sliding glass doors. Crews remove the old frame and door, then set and seal the new unit so it fits tight against the weather.

This service often gets paired with a window project. If you are already replacing windows on one side of the house, it makes sense to look at the patio door in the same area while crews are there.

Exterior window awning providing shade against a blue sky

Awning Installation Adds Shade Over Windows and Doors

Are you getting sick of the sun glare during sunset? Rain dripping right onto your front step every time it storms? An awning solves both. Crews mount a frame and cover over the window or door you choose, sized to fit that specific opening.

It cuts down glare and heat coming through a window and keeps rain off an entry door. A good add-on to consider if you are already having window or door work done.

Replacement skylight installed on an asphalt shingle roof

Skylight Replacement Solves Leaks in Aging Skylight Units

An old skylight that leaks, fogs up, or took a hit in a storm usually needs a full replacement rather than a patch job. Crews remove the failing unit completely and install a new one, checking the surrounding roof deck at the same time.

If your skylight glass still in good shape but you are getting water stains around the edges, that’s usually a seal or flashing problem, not a reason to replace the whole unit. Crews check the seal, gasket, and flashing, then fix whatever specific part has failed.

Skylight Installation Adds Natural Light to a Roof Without One

Want more natural light in a room that does not have a skylight yet? Crews cut a new opening into the roof, frame it properly, and set the glazing. It is a bigger job than a replacement because everything is being built from scratch.

This service usually comes up during a remodel or when a new roof is going on anyway. If you are already planning roof work, it is worth asking about adding a skylight at the same time.

Frequently Asked Questions

If your window frame is cracked, soft, or will not stay open, you likely need a full replacement, not a repair. Repairs work when the frame is still solid but a small part failed, like a seal or lock. Cold-to-the-touch glass or fogging between panes usually means the seal is gone for good. When in doubt, get an inspection before you decide.
Yes, we serve homeowners throughout the Chicago suburbs, including Naperville, Arlington Heights, Schaumburg, and Orland Park. Response times depend on your location and the scope of the job, but we schedule inspections quickly across our service area. If you are not sure whether your town is covered, just give us a call and we will confirm.
Many older homes have masonry window openings instead of wood-frame construction, and that changes how the job gets done. Masonry needs different sealing and framing work than a typical newer suburban home. Skipping that step is where drafts and water problems start later. A crew that knows the difference will catch it before installation, not after.
Window replacement reuses an existing opening; residential window installation creates or resizes one. If you are swapping an old, drafty window for a new one in the same spot, that is replacement. If you are adding an opening for a home addition or remodel, that is installation. Picking the wrong one can mean paying for framing work you do not need.
If the glass is still in good shape, a leak is usually a seal or flashing problem you can repair without replacing the whole unit. Full replacement makes sense when the skylight is old, cracked, or was damaged in a storm. An inspection can tell you which one applies before you spend money on the wrong fix.
Yes, if a hail or wind storm cracked your roof, it may have damaged your skylight or windows at the same time. Homeowners often get the roof checked but skip the skylight, even though it took damage during that same event. Getting both inspected together helps you catch everything before filing your claim.
