Serving Carol Stream, Illinois
From Mohawk Drive ranches to Western Trails two-stories
Carol Stream is a builder's town — literally. Jay Stream started it from farm fields in the late 1950s, and the first families moved onto Mohawk Drive in 1958. The village filled in fast from there: ranches and split-levels through the '60s and '70s, then two-stories, townhomes, and condos in Western Trails, Newport Village, and Carolshire into the '80s and '90s. There's no Metra stop in town — commuters drive to Wheaton or Winfield — but between Armstrong Park, the Town Center on Gary Avenue, and Klein Creek winding through, it doesn't feel like a pass-through place.
Excel is headquartered in Tinley Park and has served Chicagoland homes since 1982 — decades of windows, doors, bath, and siding work. We won't pretend we're on every block in 60188; what we offer is a free in-home consultation, straight pricing, and the same crews job after job. For Carol Stream's housing stock, that usually means Soft-Lite replacement windows where drafty '70s and '80s units are costing you heat, ProVia entry doors, and solid-surface bath walls in place of a tired original tub surround. Where older siding has chalked out, CertainTeed Monogram vinyl or LP SmartSide with Diamond Kote finish wraps it up.

Carol Stream — common questions
Reviewed August 2026
Does Excel really serve Carol Stream?
Yes — Carol Stream is part of our Chicagoland service area. We're headquartered in Tinley Park, and we schedule free in-home consultations across the western suburbs, including Carol Stream. 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.
Which replacement windows make sense for Carol Stream's 1960s–80s houses?
Most of the town's ranches, split-levels, and two-stories still have original or second-generation units that leak air. We install Soft-Lite vinyl windows as our primary line, with ProVia, Sierra Pacific, and Pella as options depending on the house and budget. Every install carries Excel's 5-year labor warranty on top of manufacturer warranties that run 20 years to lifetime.
Can you convert my tub to a walk-in shower in Carol Stream?
Yes. Excel Shower & Bath replaces original tubs with walk-in showers using Onyx Collection solid surface or BCI acrylic wall systems and Moen fixtures — no tile to scrub, no liners over old problems. It's a good fit for homes where the bathroom hasn't changed much since the house went up, and it makes daily life easier and safer. Consultations are free and happen in your home.
Is Carol Stream in Excel's service area?
Yes. We cover Carol Stream and ZIP 60188 from our Tinley Park headquarters, the same way we cover the rest of Chicagoland — by appointment, with free in-home consultations. And since a lot of Carol Stream housing predates 1978, it helps that Excel is an EPA Lead-Safe Certified Firm; older paint gets handled the right way during window and door work.
