We utilize current industry technology for unsurpassed service while still maintaining the best price to product / service ratio. Rest assured and enjoy your Superior Chimney!... Superior Chimney is a family owned and operated chimney sweep and masonry chimney restoration company. Our family recognized the demand for a service overhaul in an industry shadowed by skepticism as a result of it being primarily commission/incentive based for its technicians. We are proud to be a service company, not a sales company! It is our commitment to maintain safe use of all chimney types in all of Chicagoland while exceeding your expected level of service. Our fleet of trucks service all six Chicagoland counties, year round, in effort to minimize chimney fire statistics.

As the nation’s largest full-service exterior home remodeler, we are backed by over 1,000+ Angi Super Service awards and more than one million happy customers. Why? Because we treat each job as an audition. An opportunity to prove ourselves to you. And the results speak for themselves. So make your home all it was meant to be with our unrivaled exterior services. Contact us today for a free, no obligation estimate on replacement windows, roofing, siding, doors, or attic insulation.

""Disorganized, not honest, potentially scamming customers out of thousands" The prior owner spent over 22K on window replacements in 2014. In 2018 (a year after I moved in) 2 windows had developed a seal failure and spotting that began to worsen. I first contacted PHRG in 2019 for a replacement. They stated there was a 15 month wait time for replacement. Fast forward to dozens of phone calls, emails and false promised dates of delivery and 2 additional windows that developed a seal failure. In response to my latest request for an update, I received a generic email with a difficult to read chart that showed new "promised" date for May 31, 2023 for the original window! This is after they told me my installation was scheduled for October 28th 2022! So, someone told me the window was ready to be installed last week and then another email indicated it hadn't even arrived at the warehouse! It is hard to believe they will ever decide to honor their warranty. Now I am stuck with windows that look like the pictures below and looking to pay out of pocket for the badly installed windows this company put in, in 2014. With a Lifetime warranty.... Please reconsider choosing this company. They have very poor customer service and are extremely disorganized at best and outright lying to customers at worst."

Russell Armstrong founded Chicago Window guys with one goal, deliver a great product with excellent installation at an amazing price.

With over 25 years of home improvement experience, we look to help you get the right windows, installed by the best people, for the best price.

"I had a full house window replacement and sliding door replacement. They were very straight forward about the whole process. The cost was great and the installers were prompt and did awesome work. We had a few rotted pieces of wood on the house and they replaced that right away. Awesome work and company."

Wood stairs and railings installations and replacements FAQs

On average, replacing a deck railing costs about $925. This includes all the materials and labor needed to install a new porch or deck railing system with a durable finish. For instance, adding a new handrail on your front steps costs around $80 per linear foot. This price ensures your new railing is safe, looks great, and meets building codes.

Balusters and spindles offer structural support to the railing and run from the footing to the handrail. While their names are often used interchangeably, these support posts differ in their footing design. Balusters rest on a step, floor, or deck, while spindles have a footing rail attached to the bottom of the posts.

Choosing the right contractor for stair railing replacement is determined by the project’s complexity. A general contractor provides professional expertise and precision for a design that involves custom curves or intricate details. For straightforward installations, a qualified handyman delivers efficient service. Hiring skilled professionals guarantees that the installation meets all safety and building code requirements while ensuring lasting quality.

If it's still structurally sound, you can update your existing stair railing without removing it. By repairing any damages and then painting or refinishing it, you can give your staircase a fresh new look. This approach saves time and money while ensuring your railing meets all safety and building code requirements.

Reusing your existing stair spindles is a practical option when they’re in good condition. Notifying your contractor in advance is essential to ensure the spindles are preserved during removal. After removal, refinishing the spindles with a fresh coat of paint or stain will match them with your new railing design while maintaining sustainability and a cohesive aesthetic.

Stair railing balusters are mandated to maintain a spacing of no more than four inches apart. This precise measurement prevents a four-inch sphere from passing through and ensures the railing system is secure. Maintaining this gap is essential for structural integrity and safety. Be sure to verify that your installation meets these requirements as specified by local building codes.
