"The ordering and installation processes were great! The salesman visited our house and helped us select stain for the new windows that matched our existing trim. The windows and replacement trim were stained prior to installation. The salesman, measuring expert, and installation crew were friendly, on time, and very professional. The installation involved no surprises and was completed in the order of our requests. We paid a small fee for the installation crew to remove and reinstall all hardware for the drapes and blinds and it was definitely worth it. The interior and exterior weatherproofing was a plus. The exterior caulking was thorough and neatly done. The clean-up after installation was also great. We would definitely recommend Next Door & Window to anyone needing new windows."

"Thunder cold called me based on an an inquiry I did for window replacement services at one of the big box stores. They were not affiliated with that store but rather some mutual sharing of marketing information occurred.  This was fine as they were a high quality company, although I did not realize that my contact information had been circulated so widely.  I did also get calls from other firms.

The gentleman at Thunder really spent the time to listen to me and also gave me some good information. This was for replacement windows for my Mom's house (built in early '50s).  He really listened and brought over two products that definitely fit our needs.  The key details were that we wanted vinyl frames infused with a light wood texture (many vinyl frame products are just a uniform color) and one of these product also was using a new high density flexible foam as a separator between the panes of glass. I checked into this technology further and found it to be quite smart and a very good idea.

Thunder is an installer who can represent several different products.  His bid was priced very reasonably and from what I could see on AL and BBB the company had a good reputation.

Ultimately we did decide to go with another product from a different company but this choice was purely because of technical details of the window vendor's design (we had no issue with Thunder and felt that they really gave us superior service.  We would recommend Thunder to other customers and may consider them in the future for other jobs.

FYI - the design difference that cause us to go with another product was that even though the vinyl met our needs and window technology was great, we found that the vinyl extrusion process used was basically for a single style of piece.  In other words, the top and bottom of the window frame were made from the same extrusion as the sides.  Since the top and bottom are different, additional small vinyl pieces are inserted to make the complete window.  This ultimately takes space away from the glass area of the window.  My Mom's house has very short windows and the amount of glass space lost would have been a problem.  We found another vendor who had both the high density foam and a three extrusion process (top, bottom and sides are all different)  for wood colored vinyl. Had Thunder carried that product, we would have carefully considered them."

"Excellent! The owner, James Murphy, came out initially to measure and look at my job. He was extremely professional and informative as to my choices for doors and window. Dave, and the installers worked fast, cleaned up after themselves, and went above and beyond paying attention to the details. I needed a few window sills replaced on existing windows and they replaced those too. You definitely get what you pay for -- quality, value, and craftmanship with Murphy's Windows and Sun Rooms. I have confidence in referring them and am using them again to do an additional window."

"Progressive Restoration (Marcus Postawa) had a contract with our Town Home Association since 2012. They did an outstanding job on the town homes they painted that year. Due to financial difficulties, our Association did not honor the 2 buildings per year requirement in the contract.  Marcus was more than patient, and worked with the Board in order to fulfill the contract terms.  He even waited 3 years to get the balance paid in full. (9/2015)

The Board of Directors had a 5-way phone conversation with Marcus at a Board Meeting ( April 20, 2016) and we voted 4-1 to accept the new Change Order for 2016, which included a price increase above the 15% contract cost for our default of the 2 buildings per year requirement. The extra cost was due to severe weathering and deterioration of our siding and trim, which was going to require extra time and work. At no time was our Board of Directors considering legal action against Progressive Restoration. 

 Progressive had already signed other contracts prior to receiving our Association's signed contract and down payment, due to one Board member. He needed to complete the other jobs before starting our labor-intensive project. He wanted to begin when he could complete the two buildings from 2015  and start/finish the next two buildings without moving paint , painting equipment, and ladders. 

 I  was the Board member who was in contact with Marc during this new contract change order signed on April 29,2016, and was kept informed of targeted starting dates for our town homes.  He said he was about a month or so out from starting, but an unusual rainy June delayed completion of his other jobs before beginning our town homes.  

 Marcus and his painters had always been courteous and professional to me and other homeowners,  and they were always willing to explain work details.  Marcus contacted me on several occasions to tell me of compromised roofs, cedar trim, and gaps in flashing and siding.  He was told to paint the trim anyway so it looked uniform until it was replaced.

Progressive Restoration fulfilled their contract ( Power washing, caulk, 2 coats of paint...I  watched them while they painted one building in the 90 degree heat). He even included a 60 year caulk at no extra charge. The Board mailed homeowners and asked them to move patio furniture and yard objects away from the buildings prior to the painters beginning, but many didn't comply. The Board had told homeowners that anything not moved would be removed at their own expense, or this area wouldn't be done.  Marcus and his painters moved much of this themselves., at no charge. 

Punch lists were completed.  The President of the Homeowners Association, a Board member on the Architectural Committee, and  I walked each and every building with the painters, with their paint brushes and paint buckets in hand, and asked them to touch up a few areas before they were paid. They reminded us that their work comes with a 3 year warranty, and they seemed very proud of this!

Marcus and his painters did an excellent job, considering the condition of our siding and cedar trim boards. He really is a perfectionist, and I'd recommend Progressive Restoration for any painting job!"

FAQs for exterior shutters installation and replacement projects in Chicago, IL

The best material for exterior shutters depends on your preferences. Natural wood offers a classic and timeless look but requires more maintenance. Vinyl, composite, and aluminum shutters provide low-maintenance options with modern styles. Consider your design goals and maintenance preferences to choose the material that ensures both beauty and durability.

Professional shutter installers handle the installation of exterior and interior shutters. They ensure precise fitting and secure mounting so your shutters function properly and enhance your home's curb appeal. Hiring an experienced professional guarantees your shutters are correctly aligned and built to withstand environmental conditions, providing long-lasting protection for your home.

Estate shutters cost an average of $2,990, with prices ranging from $300 to $8,400. Their total price varies based on size, material quality, and installation requirements. While they come with a higher price tag, estate shutters enhance your home's security and add a luxurious aesthetic to your house.

Exterior window shutters are worth the cost for many homeowners, offering aesthetic and functional benefits. They enhance your home's appearance, add security, improve energy efficiency, and protect against severe weather conditions. Investing in exterior shutters can increase your home's value, make it more attractive to future buyers, and provide long-term benefits.

Whether it's cheaper to buy new shutters or paint them depends on their condition. Painting shutters costs $200 to $500 on average and can refresh their appearance if they're in good shape. However, replacing your shutters may be more cost-effective in the long run if they are significantly worn or damaged.

Double-hung, casement, and slider windows are most suitable for exterior shutters, as they accommodate standard dimensions and allow for secure attachment. Unique window types like bay, dormer, and picture windows may not work well with functional shutters due to their shapes and incur higher labor costs due to the complexity of installation.
