Why do Chicago brick homes require specific window installation techniques?

Chicago brick and masonry homes are prone to freeze-thaw cycles, where moisture trapped in mortar expands and contracts. Midwest Windows uses specialized caulking methods and high-compression seals designed to handle the thermal expansion of Chicago masonry, preventing air leaks and moisture intrusion.

How much can energy-efficient windows save on Chicago heating bills?

In the Chicago climate (Zone 5), upgrading from single-pane windows to ENERGY STAR certified double-pane vinyl windows can reduce residential energy bills by 12% to 15% on average. LoE-366 glass coatings reflect heat back into the home during winter while blocking 95% of UV rays in summer, helping maintain a consistent indoor temperature year-round.

What is the average cost of window replacement in Chicago?

As of 2026, the average cost for a standard vinyl double-hung window replacement in the Chicago area ranges from $950 to $1,300 per opening, including professional installation. Prices vary depending on frame material, glass packages, and the specific architectural requirements of the home.

What certifications should a Chicago window installer have?

High-quality installers should be AAMA certified and trained in Lead-Safe RRP practices, which is critical for Chicago’s older housing stock. Midwest Windows installers are factory-trained and AAMA-certified to ensure proper installation and lifetime warranty compliance.

How do your windows provide energy efficiency?

Our windows use insulated glass systems that trap air between panes, creating a thermal barrier. This helps retain heat during cold winters and keep cool air inside during the summer, reducing energy costs and improving year-round comfort.

Rated 5 out of 5

Midwest windows was a wonderful company to work with. Their finance dept was super easy to work with we were able to get 0% interest for 3 years. Windows are beautiful very happy with our purchase great and the quality of work was most satisfactory. I have received many complements concerning the look and the overall appeal. Anything father that I can do please let me know.

Got some pretty nice size windows a couple years ago from them. Pricing was fine insulation was excellent. I asked for three smaller Windows this year and the pricing was little higher so I chose not to go with them.

Thanks to the team at Midwest Windows Direct, I was able to find windows, doors, and siding for the lowest price in town. They were professional as well as considerate of my time. I would recommend them to anyone!!!
