Kedzie Windows supplies and installs windows, patio doors and complete commercial storefront systems in Downers 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.
Pair the unit scope with site-access planning
For a Downers Grove occupied property, identify more than the units involved. Note how the project contact will coordinate entry and whether the site has shared access areas that need to remain usable. Record these practical questions alongside the opening inventory rather than leaving them outside the building plan.
A board or manager can then define a first phase with named locations, separate window and patio-door counts, and known access constraints. If other building work is planned, include it in the inquiry so the replacement scope can be considered in context. Do not assume that two projects at the same property can be scheduled independently.
What the local housing data tells an owner
CMAP’s community snapshot reports that 17.1% of Downers Grove housing units are in structures with 20 or more units and 36.3% 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
Downers Grove uses an online process for permits and supporting documents, with review and inspection coordination through its system. Confirm which documents and site arrangements apply to the proposed work; not every general site requirement applies to every replacement project. Downers Grove online permit process

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.

When confirming permit requirements, we provide the municipality with the property details and proposed scope, including any changes to openings or framing. For an association program, we explain whether the work covers one residence, several units or multiple buildings.

Common questions
Do I need a permit to replace my windows in Downers Grove?
Confirm the current requirement with Downers Grove Community Development. Older Village meeting material describes ordinary window replacement as not requiring a permit, but the current permit page does not clearly restate a replacement-specific exception. Landmark status is another consideration: the Village’s preservation guidance identifies front-facade window replacement for review. Describe the address, opening changes and any broader work.

Do I need a permit to replace my patio door in Downers Grove?
Confirm the patio-door scope with Community Development rather than relying on older descriptions of like-for-like door work. The current permit page does not clearly publish a patio-door exception. For a landmark property, the Village’s preservation guidance separately identifies front-facade door replacement for review; tell staff where the patio door is located.
