Our Story
Built on Craftsmanship, Hard Work & a Commitment to Our Customers
Valdicass began with a simple belief: premium products deserve expert installation.
For Walter Skura, founder of Valdicass, that belief comes from decades of hands-on experience in the window and door industry.
Walter came to the United States from Poland in 1994. While adapting to a new country and learning English, he also learned the window and door trade from the ground up. Those early years gave him something that would eventually define Valdicass: an understanding that the quality of a home improvement project depends not only on the product being installed, but also on the craftsmanship, preparation, and attention to detail behind the installation.
By 1997, Walter was serving Chicagoland homeowners through his own business, building his reputation project by project and customer by customer.
In 2007, the company was formally registered in Illinois as Valdicass, Inc.
Today, Valdicass continues to be a family-owned home improvement company specializing in windows, doors, and siding throughout Chicago and the surrounding suburbs.
From Installer to Business Owner
Valdicass wasn’t created in an office or built around a sales strategy.
It grew from hands-on experience.
Walter spent years working directly with windows and doors, learning how different products perform, how existing homes are constructed, and how important the details of an installation become after the project is finished.
That installation background continues to influence how Valdicass approaches projects today.
Before recommending a solution, we consider the home itself: the existing opening, construction, architectural style, product selection, installation method, finishing details, and the homeowner’s goals.
Sometimes a pocket replacement is appropriate. Other projects require a complete full-frame installation. And some projects involve structural modifications, new openings, custom trim, or other construction work.
Our goal is not simply to sell a window or door.
It’s to provide the right product and installation approach for the home.
Growing With Pella
An important chapter in the Valdicass story has been our relationship with Pella®.
As the company grew, Walter wanted to pair Valdicass installation craftsmanship with a manufacturer offering a broad selection of products for different homes, architectural styles, and project requirements.
That relationship developed into years of experience working with Pella windows and doors.
Valdicass progressed through Pella’s contractor certification program and today is recognized as a:
Pella Platinum Elite Certified Contractor
This relationship allows us to specialize in Pella products while providing homeowners with the local consultation, project planning, installation, and finishing that come from working directly with Valdicass.
Today, our Pella offerings include collections such as:
- Pella Reserve™
- Pella Lifestyle Series
- Pella Impervia®
- Pella 250 Series
We also install Pella patio and exterior door systems and can help homeowners coordinate windows and doors as part of a larger renovation.
More Than Windows
While Pella windows and doors have become an important part of our company, Valdicass has continued to expand its exterior remodeling expertise.
Our services include:
- Pella replacement windows
- Pella patio and exterior doors
- ProVia® entry doors
- James Hardie® siding
- Soffit and fascia
- Custom porticos
- Exterior remodeling and related construction
- Full-frame and pocket window replacement
This allows us to look beyond an individual product and consider how different elements of a home’s exterior work together.
The Details Matter
One principle has remained consistent throughout the history of Valdicass:
Installation matters.
A premium window or door cannot reach its full potential if the surrounding opening isn’t properly evaluated, prepared, insulated, sealed, and finished.
That’s why we pay close attention to the details that homeowners may not always see once the project is complete.
We also recognize that we’re working inside someone’s home.
Our crews take appropriate steps to protect surrounding areas, furnishings, floors, and finishes during installation and clean the work area when the project is complete.
We want homeowners to remember not only what their new windows, doors, or siding look like, but also how we treated their home throughout the project.
A Local Chicagoland Company
Valdicass has remained locally based as we’ve grown.
From our showroom in Brookfield, Illinois, we serve homeowners throughout Chicago and the surrounding suburbs, including La Grange, Western Springs, Hinsdale, Oak Park, Riverside, Berwyn, Downers Grove, Elmhurst, Naperville, and many other Chicagoland communities.
Our experience with local homes has exposed us to everything from older properties with unique existing conditions to contemporary renovations involving larger glass areas and modern door systems.
That local experience matters when deciding how to approach a project.
Our Reputation Was Built One Home at a Time
Much of Valdicass’s growth over the years has come from homeowners recommending us to their families, friends, and neighbors.
For us, that means every project matters.
A homeowner isn’t simply purchasing a window, door, or siding product. They’re trusting our company with one of their most valuable investments—their home.
That responsibility still shapes how we operate today.
Our Commitment Today
Valdicass has changed considerably since Walter first entered the window and door trade, but the company’s principles haven’t.
We continue to believe in:
Premium products. Expert installation. Attention to detail. Respect for your home.
Our team continues to develop its product knowledge, installation methods, and customer experience while maintaining the hands-on approach on which the company was built.
From the first consultation through installation and final walkthrough, our objective is straightforward:
Help homeowners make informed decisions and deliver work we’re proud to put the Valdicass name on.
