WINNING WINDOWS

Local window fabricator and installer helps homeowners see clear benefits.

Quality windows not only provide the scenic views, structural integrity and curb appeal that every homeowner wants, but also play a crucial role in a home’s energy efficiency and value. Replacing old, outdated windows can increase a home’s energy efficiency by as much as 30 percent, reducing drafts, and eliminating leaks and mold.

With his manufacturing plant right here in Chicago and decades of experience replacing windows throughout the city and suburbs, Russell Armstrong, owner of Chicago Window Guys (CWG), knows the territory well. After thousands of window installations, Armstrong and his team understand the width and breadth of customer needs.

“We offer the best product, with the best installation at the best price, guaranteed!” says Armstrong. “We do this through attention to detail, a transparent sales process, and attentive customer service. Plus, every aspect of our windows is manufactured right here,” adds Armstrong, “which lowers our overhead and ensures we get windows installed on time and at a much lower cost than our competition without sacrificing quality.”

As well, CWG offers a price-match guarantee and a lifetime warranty on all parts and labor, including glass breakage—unique benefits in this industry. “We don’t play the ‘Buy one – get one free’ sales game, which is simply a sales ploy,” Armstrong explains. “Our prices are always lower, for a much better product and installation.”

CWG’s signature windows include the latest energy efficient technology including Argon/Krypton gas fill, three coats of low-E silver, foam filled frames, and a non-metal spacing system to ensure windows will never get seal failure. “We build a barrier to keep your energy in and the elements out,” Armstrong sums: “We can’t keep the polar vortex from coming to Chicago,” he quips, “but we can sure keep it from coming into your home!”

All CWG windows are custom measured, and custom made. That includes everything from custom bow and bay windows to garden and projection windows. Expert installation is key. Says Armstrong, “You can have the most expensive window in the world, but if it’s not installed correctly, you are back to square one. That’s why it’s so important to use a company that doesn’t rely on sub-contracted labor.” CWG is one of the few companies in the Chicago area that uses its own crew, he adds. “So, we know exactly who is going to be in your home installing your windows to get the job done right, with no pointing fingers.”

As well, owner Armstrong makes all sales calls personally, eliminating three-hour sales presentations, sales commissions, and high-pressure “buy now” sales tactics.

“Throughout the years, we have built a solid reputation,” Armstrong concludes, “with happy customers who refer their friends and family, and don’t just become customers, but friends. If you are in the market for windows, we would welcome the opportunity to give you a free estimate and earn your business.”
