Serving Berkeley, Illinois
A postwar village of brick ranches and bungalows
Berkeley is a small village — about 5,300 people tucked between I-290 on its western edge and the Proviso rail yard to the north, fourteen miles west of the Loop. Incorporated in 1924 on old German and Dutch farmland, it took its present shape after World War II, when the population tripled during the 1950s. That boom left the housing stock Berkeley still has today: small and mid-size brick ranches and bungalows, most with detached garages, on tidy sidewalk-lined blocks a short walk from the Berkeley Metra stop on the Union Pacific West Line.
Excel has been doing this work since 1982 from our headquarters at 8049 185th St in Tinley Park, and Berkeley sits well inside our Chicagoland service area. Homes from the 1950s tend to need the same short list: replacement windows sized right for brick openings — Soft-Lite is our go-to, with ProVia, Sierra Pacific, and Pella as options — solid ProVia entry doors, and updates to original bathrooms, where an Onyx or BCI solid-surface shower makes a compact postwar bath easier to live with. The consultation at your kitchen table is free, the same crews handle the work job after job, and everything carries our 5-year labor warranty.

Berkeley — common questions
Reviewed August 2026
Does Excel really serve Berkeley?
Yes — Berkeley is part of our Chicagoland service area. We're headquartered in Tinley Park, and we schedule free in-home consultations across the near west suburbs, including Berkeley. One call confirms your date.
Who actually does the installation?
The same installation crews, job after job — not a rotating cast off a day-labor board. They know our products and our standards, and our 5-year labor warranty stands behind their work.
How much will my project cost?
It depends on the product and the size of the job, so we don't quote blind. The in-home consultation is free: we measure, show you the options, and leave a clear written proposal — no pressure. Financing is available; ask about options.
Do you replace windows in Berkeley's brick ranches?
Yes. Berkeley's postwar brick construction means masonry window openings, so careful measurement matters more than anything else. We fit Soft-Lite vinyl windows — with ProVia, Sierra Pacific, and Pella as alternatives — to the existing opening, insulate the gaps old units leave behind, and finish inside and out cleanly. If your originals are drafty single-panes or tired builder-grade replacements, the goal is simple: do it once and be done.
Can you remodel the original bathroom in a 1950s Berkeley home?
That's exactly what these baths need. Most postwar ranches and bungalows have one compact full bath that's still close to original. We replace the tub or shower with Onyx Collection or BCI acrylic — both solid surface, grout-free, and easy to clean — with Moen fixtures. Tub-to-shower conversions with low thresholds and grab bars make daily life safer, and most projects wrap up in days, not weeks.
Does Excel actually cover Berkeley and the 60163 ZIP?
Yes. Berkeley is part of our Chicagoland service area, covered from our headquarters in Tinley Park. The in-home consultation is free — we measure, talk through options, and give you a straight price. We've been in business since 1982, the same crews handle the installs job after job, and every project carries our 5-year labor warranty on top of the manufacturer warranties.
