Kedzie Windows supplies and installs windows, patio doors and complete commercial storefront systems in Buffalo Grove. 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.
Inventory windows and glazed patio doors separately
For a Buffalo Grove association, record the window scope and patio-door scope in separate parts of the same property inventory. Note sliding and hinged patio doors, previous replacements and proposed changes to openings. This lets the board coordinate a shared program while retaining the distinctions needed for each residence.
When individual residents participate, record their inclusion in the association program rather than handling each request as an unrelated job. A phase should identify actual locations and the management contact responsible for access. Keep decisions for future phases in the record so later work is not planned solely from recollection.
What the local housing data tells an owner
CMAP’s community snapshot reports that 13.8% of Buffalo Grove housing units are in structures with 20 or more units and 58.8% 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
Buffalo Grove publishes a dedicated windows and glass doors checklist. Use it to confirm the relevant requirements for the proposed replacement and any opening changes, alongside the association’s own approval process. Buffalo Grove windows and glass doors checklist

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 Buffalo Grove?
Yes. Buffalo Grove’s windows-and-glass-doors guidance requires a permit to install or replace windows. Enlarging, reducing or adding an opening is treated as remodeling with further review. For an association project, the published checklist also asks for HOA approval when applicable.

Do I need a permit to replace my patio door in Buffalo Grove?
Yes when the patio door is at least 50% glass. Buffalo Grove expressly includes sliding and swinging glass doors in that permit rule. Its exception for an entry door with less than 50% glass or a storm door should not be assumed to cover a glazed patio door. Changed or new openings receive further review.
