Kedzie Windows supplies and installs windows, patio doors and complete commercial storefront systems in Niles. 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.
Mark every proposed opening change
For a Niles apartment building or association, create two clear groups in the initial scope: replacements intended to retain the opening and work that changes it. Keep both tied to unit locations. One proposed alteration should not make the remaining inventory ambiguous, and it should not disappear inside a total described as routine replacement.
An association program should also record who can approve the scope and which residences will participate. If patio doors are included, identify sliding and hinged locations separately. These distinctions make the project understandable to the board, manager and local reviewer without requiring every resident to explain the whole program.
What the local housing data tells an owner
CMAP’s community snapshot reports that 23.9% of Niles housing units are in structures with 20 or more units and 60.3% 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
Niles lists replacement windows with no change in size in its Express permit categories. Use that as a scope distinction, then confirm the current submission process and applicability to your property. A changed opening needs its own review question. Niles Express permit categories

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.
We handle the entire permit process
If your project in Niles requires a permit, Kedzie Windows handles the entire process from start to finish, including the application, communication with the municipality and required inspections. You never have to deal with the city—we take care of it for you.

Common questions
Do I need a permit to replace my windows in Niles?
Yes. Niles lists remove-and-replace windows with no size change in its Express permit categories. Its window-permit worksheet asks for locations and quantities and identifies a final inspection. If the opening is being enlarged or otherwise changed, confirm the additional review instead of assuming the Express category still applies.

Do I need a permit to replace my patio door in Niles?
Confirm the patio-door application with Niles’ Building Department. Its window-permit handout addresses glazing in door assemblies and directs window-or-door replacement questions to the Department, but the Express list specifically names windows. That is not enough to claim a same-size patio door is exempt or automatically covered by the window category.
