Since its formation, M&M has fostered a culture of putting customer satisfaction first, providing quality products and service, competitive pricing and taking the guess-work and worry out of the home improvement process. Celebrating over 37 years of quality, the bulk of M&M business consistently results from customer referrals. M&M accreditation's include the Better Business Bureaus of Chicago and NW Indiana, Owens Corning Platinum Preferred Contractor and the National Association of the Remodeling Industry. M&M has built its reputation as a solutions provider, offering quality products, service, competitive pricing and customer-friendly financing programs .
"After contemplating WHICH company to hire for our much-needed siding, fascia, gutters, soffits, for our home project. We sat down with a total of 6 different companies when hiring someone THIS important and not CHEAP you HAVE to be vigilante and do your due diligence. We needed to compare pricing, what each company had to offer, reviews looked like both google, BBB, etc. after all you can’t UNDO it later. We did NOT want to pick the wrong company. We ended up going with M&M Remodeling [Crete] upon discovering TONS of POSITIVE reviews, even our neighbor used them for his roof project. We were of course SUPER squeamish as to what the project would be like just how much aggravation would be involved, which part(s) didn’t get ordered, would there be unforeseen delays, would there be 1 person showing up to do the work of 5? What would communication be like, which is KEY in my opinion. It would be SAFE to say we were SO SCARED because unfortunately nowadays businesses don’t honor what was agreed upon and just want the sale so will say anything to get it. I can tell you that not only were they punctual, EXTREMELY polite, VERY professional, each worker of the 5 that showed worked on a separate part of my 2300 sq. ft. ranch home and concentrated solely on their assigned areas and were laser focused! They are wonderful about communicating with each other AND us if any questions/concerns arose and they were quick to put them out. Two superintendents showed up throughout the job checking in on the guys to make sure things were moving along at a good pace, to check and see if materials were delivered as needed, if pieces/parts were missing they would quickly act on retrieving them all WITHOUT stopping the job! And introduced themselves to us to make sure any problems were quickly squashed. They answered a couple of questions we had in REAL TIME and even visited with us to put our concerns to rest. They were wonderful about clean up, if I asked for something to be removed even if it was NOT part of the job they were happy to accommodate so long as we were happy! So, if you’re looking for a company that keeps there word, provides EXCELLENT service, and communication is important you will WANT to only hire M&M Remodeling. After working with M&M Remodeling we quickly discovered that M&M Remodeling clearly stands for METHODICAL & MAGNIFICENT! Thank you ? :)"

"I recently had the pleasure of working with United Window for the installation of new siding and windows on my home, and I couldn't be more impressed with the entire process. From start to finish, their professionalism was evident, and they truly went above and beyond my expectations. The owner himself came out on day one to provide an estimate, and it was clear from the outset that this company takes pride in their work. Not only did he offer a thorough and fair estimate, but he was also hands-on throughout the entire process, ensuring everything was done to the highest standard. The team was punctual every day, showing up on time and completing the project within the established timeframe. I was especially impressed with the efficiency of their work—there were no delays, and they worked diligently to get everything done without cutting corners. The quality of the siding and window installations is top-notch, and I can already tell the difference it’s made in both the appearance and energy efficiency of my home.

Making an existing window bigger always requires some construction, but the extent varies by project. Vertical expansions involve less structural work because they often don't affect load-bearing elements. Even so, any enlargement requires removing siding or drywall, cutting framing members, and installing appropriate support. Non-load-bearing walls allow for simpler modifications, while load-bearing walls require proper headers and structural support. A consultation with a structural engineer is advisable before beginning any window enlargement project.
Building permits are required for window enlargement projects in most municipalities. Since enlarging windows involves structural modifications to your home's exterior walls, local building departments need to review and approve the plans. Permit costs range from $100 to $300, though projects requiring significant structural changes may incur permit fees of $500 or more. Additionally, homes in historic districts or those governed by HOAs may need special approvals. Always check local requirements before beginning work.
An average window enlargement project takes between five hours and three days to complete. Simple projects with minimal structural changes might be finished in five to ten hours, while more complex enlargements requiring significant structural modifications could take up to three days. Factors affecting the timeline include the window's location, wall construction, weather conditions, and the need for specialized materials. The process involves demolition, framing, window installation, and interior/exterior finishing work.
