Serving Buffalo Grove, Illinois
From Strathmore ranches to the Lake-Cook line
Buffalo Grove incorporated in 1958 with just 164 residents, then grew faster than nearly any town in the northwest suburbs — population jumped 80 percent in the 1970s alone. That boom built most of the village: Levitt & Sons' Strathmore (1962–1978), Old Buffalo Grove's 1958–1970 blocks, Cambridge's late-'60s homes, and Mill Creek's 1970s mix of houses and condos. Ranches, split-levels, and Colonial Revivals dominate, with newer subdivisions layered in since. The village straddles the Lake-Cook line, with two Metra North Central Service stops and Buffalo Grove Days every Labor Day weekend at Mike Rylko Park.
Excel has been at this since 1982, headquartered at 8049 185th St in Tinley Park and serving Buffalo Grove as part of our Chicagoland service area. For homes this age, the work is predictable: original bathrooms in Strathmore and Cambridge that have outlived their tubs, and first- or second-generation windows that leak air every winter. Excel Shower & Bath handles the first with Onyx Collection and BCI solid-surface systems; our window side installs Soft-Lite, ProVia, Sierra Pacific, and Pella. Free in-home consultations, the same crews job after job, and a 5-year labor warranty on everything.

Buffalo Grove — common questions
Reviewed August 2026
Does Excel really serve Buffalo Grove?
Yes — Buffalo Grove is part of our Chicagoland service area. We're headquartered in Tinley Park, and we schedule free in-home consultations across the northwest suburbs, including Buffalo Grove. 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.
Can you convert the original tub in a 1960s or '70s Buffalo Grove bathroom to a walk-in shower?
Yes. Plenty of Strathmore, Cambridge, and Old Buffalo Grove bathrooms are still running their original tubs and surrounds. We replace them with walk-in showers in Onyx Collection or BCI acrylic — both solid surface, no grout lines to scrub — with Moen fixtures, low-threshold bases, and grab bars where you want them. It starts with a free in-home consultation, and the work carries our 5-year labor warranty.
Which replacement windows make sense for Buffalo Grove's split-levels and ranches?
Soft-Lite vinyl is our lead line — well suited to the 1960s–70s openings common in Strathmore and Old Buffalo Grove — with ProVia, Sierra Pacific, and Pella also available. If your originals are drafty or fogging between panes, replacement usually beats repair at this age. We measure everything at a free in-home consultation, and installs are backed by manufacturer warranties plus our 5-year labor warranty.
You're based in Tinley Park — do you actually serve Buffalo Grove?
Yes. Excel has been headquartered at 8049 185th St in Tinley Park since 1982, and Buffalo Grove — both the Lake County side and the Cook County corner, ZIP 60089 — sits inside our regular Chicagoland service area. Consultations happen at your home, on your schedule, at no charge, and the same crews handle the work job after job.
