Replacement Windows, Doors & Exterior Remodeling in Westmont, IL
Home improvement projects should start with the right products, a clearly defined scope of work, and installation that takes the existing conditions of the home into account.
Valdicass provides replacement windows, exterior doors, siding, and exterior remodeling services in Westmont, Illinois, from our nearby Brookfield location.
Since 1997, we have helped Chicagoland homeowners improve their homes with Pella® windows and patio doors, ProVia® entry doors, James Hardie® siding, and exterior improvements designed around the individual property.
Pella Replacement Windows in Westmont
Valdicass specializes in Pella replacement windows, with wood, fiberglass, and vinyl options available across several product families.
Depending on your home and project requirements, we can help you compare:
- Pella Reserve™ wood windows
- Pella® Lifestyle Series wood windows
- Pella® Impervia® fiberglass windows
- Pella® 250 Series vinyl windows
Each product family offers different combinations of materials, window styles, finishes, glass, hardware, screens, and other options.
As a Pella Platinum Elite Certified Contractor, Valdicass can help you determine which product and configuration makes sense for your home rather than approaching every replacement project the same way.
Window Styles for Different Areas of Your Home
The right window style depends on how the opening needs to function as well as how you want it to look.
Pella window options can include:
- Double-hung windows
- Single-hung windows
- Casement windows
- Awning windows
- Sliding windows
- Picture and fixed windows
- Bay and bow windows
- Specialty shapes and combinations
Different styles provide different approaches to ventilation, views, operation, and architectural design.
It’s also possible to combine operating and fixed windows to create larger configurations when appropriate for the project.
Wood, Fiberglass & Vinyl Windows
Frame material is another important part of selecting replacement windows.
Wood Windows
Pella Reserve and Lifestyle Series provide wood-window options for homeowners who value real wood interiors and architectural design possibilities.
Fiberglass Windows
Pella Impervia provides a fiberglass alternative for homeowners interested in a durable, low-maintenance frame material.
Vinyl Windows
Pella 250 Series provides vinyl window options for homeowners who prefer a relatively low-maintenance replacement window.
There isn’t one material that’s automatically right for every Westmont home. Architecture, appearance, maintenance preferences, opening conditions, product availability, and project budget should all be considered.
Pocket & Full-Frame Window Replacement
Before ordering new windows, Valdicass evaluates the existing openings and determines the right replacement approach.
A pocket replacement may allow a new window to be installed within portions of the existing frame when conditions are suitable.
A full-frame replacement involves more complete removal of the existing window and provides greater access to the opening and surrounding conditions.
Full-frame replacement may also be appropriate when homeowners want to change trim, address existing frame conditions, or create a different finished appearance.
The appropriate method depends on the individual project.
Energy-Efficient Window Options
Energy performance involves more than choosing a particular frame material.
Insulating glass, Low-E coatings, frame construction, weatherstripping, window style, size, configuration, installation, and other factors can all contribute to the performance of a complete window.
When comparing specific configurations, homeowners can review ratings such as U-factor and Solar Heat Gain Coefficient (SHGC).
Valdicass can help you compare applicable Pella glass and performance options without promising a specific reduction in your utility bills.
ProVia Entry Doors
Windows aren’t the only exterior openings that can transform the appearance of a home.
Valdicass installs ProVia entry doors with fiberglass and steel options available in different styles, colors, finishes, glass designs, and hardware configurations.
Depending on the selected product, entry systems can also incorporate features such as sidelites and transoms.
For more extensive entrance renovations, Valdicass can evaluate modifications to the existing opening and the additional construction and finishing required.
Pella Patio Doors
For patios, decks, and backyard entrances, Valdicass installs Pella patio doors.
Options include sliding and hinged configurations, with available materials, glass, hardware, screens, colors, and finishes depending on the selected product.
We can handle conventional patio-door replacement and evaluate larger projects where homeowners want to change the size or configuration of an existing opening.
James Hardie Siding in Westmont
Valdicass also installs James Hardie® fiber cement siding for homeowners considering a larger exterior renovation.
A siding project involves more than attaching new material to the house. Existing siding removal, substrate conditions, weather-resistant barriers, flashing, trim, transitions around windows and doors, clearances, and finishing all contribute to the completed exterior system.
As a James Hardie Alliance Select contractor, Valdicass can help homeowners evaluate siding profiles, colors, trim details, and related exterior improvements.
Porticos & Exterior Improvements
The front of a home can sometimes benefit from more than a new door.
Valdicass designs and builds porticos and exterior entrance improvements, allowing homeowners to coordinate the entry door with architectural elements that can change the appearance of the entire front elevation.
Windows, entry doors, siding, trim, and porticos can also be considered together when planning a more comprehensive exterior renovation.
Professional Installation
The quality of the product is only one part of a successful project.
Valdicass evaluates existing conditions, establishes the scope of work, and plans the installation based on the products being installed and the requirements of the property.
For window and door projects, this can include removal of existing units, preparation of openings, insulation and sealing, adjustment, and applicable interior and exterior finishing.
Siding and larger exterior projects require their own preparation and installation procedures based on the scope of work.
