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.
Do not borrow a house checklist for an apartment project
For a Wheeling multifamily property, identify the property type before using a permit checklist. Individual residents may find guidance written for a house or townhome, while the proposed work concerns an apartment building or association program. Put the building classification and overall scope at the beginning of the inquiry.
For a phased project, maintain a unit-based inventory with a separate column for access arrangements. Include patio doors if they are part of the same program, but keep the quantities distinct. This lets a manager coordinate one property plan without making every window and patio door an independent resident project.
What the local housing data tells an owner
CMAP’s community snapshot reports that 22% of Wheeling housing units are in structures with 20 or more units and 49.8% 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
Wheeling’s residential project page identifies its single-family, duplex and townhome scope and discusses same-size replacement without header changes. That scope should not be silently extended to every apartment or commercial project. Confirm the appropriate route for your building. Wheeling residential project 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.

Common questions
Do I need a permit to replace my windows in Wheeling?
For the property types covered by Wheeling’s residential project guidance—single-family homes, duplexes and townhomes—same-opening window replacement with no header change typically does not require a permit. Opening-size changes do. For an apartment, condominium building or commercial property, confirm the applicable process instead of automatically extending that residential exception.
Wheeling residential permit requirements and exceptions
Do I need a permit to replace my patio door in Wheeling?
Under Wheeling’s published residential guidance, door replacement in the same-size opening with no header change typically does not require a permit; changing the opening size does. Confirm that the guidance applies to your patio-door project and property type, especially for a multifamily association or apartment building.
