Kedzie Windows supplies and installs windows, patio doors and complete commercial storefront systems in Berwyn. 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.
Record previous replacements before setting a building-wide scope
For a Berwyn property with several residences, compare the window inventory across units before assuming the whole building needs an identical scope. Note which locations have already been replaced and whether shared-area windows are included. This is particularly useful when an owner has accumulated work records over several tenancies.
If the inquiry begins with winter complaints, record where and when the problem is noticed rather than assigning a diagnosis to the whole property. An organized list supports an individual evaluation. For a phased replacement, group the intended locations and agree who will coordinate entry to each occupied unit.
What the local housing data tells an owner
CMAP’s community snapshot reports that 13.3% of Berwyn housing units are in structures with three or four units and 60.5% are in housing built before 1940, 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
Berwyn’s Building Department provides permit and remodeling resources and states that incomplete applications do not move to director review. Before submission, make the replacement scope and any opening changes clear and check the Department’s current requirements. Berwyn Building Department and permit resources

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 Berwyn?
Yes. Berwyn’s published permit handout lists window replacement, including glass-block windows, among work requiring a permit. It also states that contractor-performed work requires permits. A same-size replacement should not be treated as exempt just because the opening stays unchanged.
Berwyn: when permits are required
Do I need a permit to replace my patio door in Berwyn?
Yes for contractor-installed work under Berwyn’s published handout. The document includes a same-size door exception only for work performed by the owner; that exception should not be applied to a contractor-installed patio-door project. Identify any frame or opening changes when confirming the submission requirements.
