Kedzie Windows supplies and installs windows, patio doors and complete commercial storefront systems in Arlington Heights. 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.
Start with the correct commercial or multifamily category
For an Arlington Heights building, label the project as commercial or multifamily from the start when that is its use. A short inquiry should identify the affected spaces, whether they remain occupied and whether existing openings change. That context is more useful than describing the work only as a quantity of replacement windows.
When several units are involved, group the inventory by building and residence, then record exceptions. For a commercial property, use tenant-space identifiers instead. Both approaches preserve the location of each opening while allowing a phased plan and the corresponding access arrangements to be reviewed.
What the local housing data tells an owner
CMAP’s community snapshot reports that 22.3% of Arlington Heights housing units are in structures with 20 or more units and 40.5% 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
Arlington Heights publishes dedicated window-replacement guidance for commercial, industrial and multifamily properties using its CSS process. The guidance warns that selecting the wrong permit type can require restarting the application. Confirm the category before preparing the submission.

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 Arlington Heights?
Yes. Arlington Heights publishes a dedicated Window Replacement permit category for commercial, industrial and multifamily properties, as well as a residential window-replacement packet. Use the correct property category when applying; the Village’s January 2026 instructions distinguish the commercial/multifamily process.

Do I need a permit to replace my patio door in Arlington Heights?
Confirm the patio-door permit category with Arlington Heights Building & Life Safety. The dedicated window-replacement packets do not, by themselves, establish whether a full patio door uses the same category. Identify the building type, entire door-and-frame replacement and any structural or opening changes rather than assuming the window instructions cover all exterior doors.
