Kedzie Windows supplies and installs windows, patio doors and complete commercial storefront systems in Skokie. We work with apartment owners, condo associations, HOAs and property managers on replacement and new installation, including coordinated work around occupied residences. Free site visits and estimates are available.
Separate a same-opening replacement from a changed opening
For a Skokie rental building, list window locations by unit and identify which openings would stay the same. Mark proposed size changes separately. This is useful even when the building appears uniform: a past renovation or an owner request may create an exception that should not disappear inside a single window count.
Where patio doors are part of the project, make a second opening list and note whether the doors slide or hinge. A manager can then coordinate resident access across both services without mixing window quantities and patio-door quantities. Keep any ground-floor storefront work in its own scope.
What the local housing data tells an owner
CMAP’s community snapshot reports that 9% of Skokie housing units are in structures with three or four units and 64.7% are in housing built from 1940 through 1969, using 2020–2024 American Community Survey estimates. CMAP housing snapshot
These are estimates of housing units, not counts of apartment buildings or condo associations. Housing age does not establish window age or condition. Use the figures as context for planning; define your project from the property’s actual openings, records and needs.
A local check before scheduling work
Skokie’s renovation guidance distinguishes same-size window replacement from work that changes window size or adds projecting windows. Confirm how the guidance applies to your property and complete project; do not assume a window exception covers a reconfigured commercial storefront. Skokie building renovation permit guidance

We provide supply and installation together. Our scope is full replacement and new installation, with phased projects reviewed individually. Standalone single-window or single-patio-door work is outside our scope, except that individual residents may participate in an association-coordinated program. A complete commercial storefront can be a single project. Repair-only work and customer-supplied installation are not offered.

Skokie separates permits requiring review from over-the-counter permits. Confirm the correct route for the proposed opening changes or patio-door scope before choosing an application.
When confirming permit requirements, we provide the municipality with the property details and proposed scope, including any changes to openings or framing. For an association program, we explain whether the work covers one residence, several units or multiple buildings.
We prepare and submit the application, coordinate any owner or association authorization needed, communicate with the municipality and arrange required inspections through completion. The municipality determines the applicable requirements and approvals; our team manages the process for you.
Common questions
Do I need a permit to replace my windows in Skokie?
No permit is required for same-size window replacement under Skokie’s published renovation guidance. A permit is required when windows change size or project out from the wall. If the work is part of a wider apartment, association or commercial alteration, confirm the complete scope with Building & Inspection Services rather than applying the window exception to unrelated work.

Do I need a permit to replace my patio door in Skokie?
Confirm this separately with Skokie’s Building & Inspection Services. The Village’s published no-permit list names same-size windows, but does not clearly extend that exception to patio doors. Describe whether you are replacing the entire door and frame, retaining the opening, or changing its size; for an association program, identify the building type too.
