Kedzie Windows supplies and installs windows, patio doors and complete commercial storefront systems in Palatine. 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.
Use the multifamily review path and a property-level scope
For a Palatine apartment or association project, establish one inventory across the affected buildings before requesting separate estimates unit by unit. Identify the proposed first phase, windows already replaced and patio doors to be included. This helps keep later phases connected to the same property plan.
A board or manager should also identify the project’s property classification when checking local requirements. A process intended for a small project at a detached house may be familiar to an individual resident, but it is not necessarily the process for an association or rental property. Keep those assumptions out of the schedule until the correct path is confirmed.
What the local housing data tells an owner
CMAP’s community snapshot reports that 16.2% of Palatine housing units are in structures with five to nine units and 45.5% are in housing built from 1970 through 1989, 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
Palatine distinguishes Express permits for smaller detached single-family projects from Standard permits for commercial and multifamily projects. Its permit process uses the CSS portal. An apartment or association inquiry should therefore start with the relevant property category. Palatine building permits and inspections

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.

Permits and contractor registration use the CSS portal. Confirm the property classification before relying on a window exemption for a multifamily project.
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 Palatine?
Palatine’s published code includes a window-replacement exemption where the opening framing and opening size are not altered or reduced. Changing the opening falls outside that stated exemption. Confirm its applicability to your property classification before relying on it for a multifamily or commercial program; where a permit is required, Palatine uses its online permit process.

Do I need a permit to replace my patio door in Palatine?
Confirm the current requirement with Palatine’s Building Department. The window-specific exemption should not be assumed to cover a complete patio-door replacement. Describe the existing and proposed door, frame and opening, and identify whether the property is a detached residence, an association building or another multifamily property.
