Serving Darien, Illinois
A 1969 town with 1970s windows
Darien is the youngest city in DuPage County. It incorporated in 1969, when the Marion Hills, Brookhaven, Hinsbrook, and Farmingdale neighborhoods voted to become one town, and the housing still tells that story — the median Darien home dates to about 1978. Hinsbrook's ranches went up in the late 1960s north of 75th Street; the Farmingdale sections filled in through the '70s and '80s with split-levels and quad-levels. Waterfall Glen Forest Preserve sits just south of town, eleven miles of trail looping around Argonne National Laboratory, and the city motto keeps it modest: "A Nice Place to Live."
Excel is headquartered at 8049 185th Street in Tinley Park, and Darien's 60561 sits well inside our Chicagoland service area. We've been doing this work since 1982 — decades of windows, doors, baths, and siding. For houses of Darien's era, that usually means replacing tired builder-grade windows with Soft-Lite vinyl, swapping an original fiberglass tub combo for an Onyx or BCI solid-surface bath, or hanging a ProVia entry door that actually seals. Consultations are free and happen in your home, quotes are straightforward, and the same crews handle the work job after job — all of it backed by our 5-year labor warranty.

Darien — common questions
Reviewed August 2026
Does Excel really serve Darien?
Yes — Darien 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 Darien. 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.
Are replacement windows worth it in a 1970s Darien split-level?
Usually, yes. Many houses here still carry original or first-generation windows — drafty aluminum frames, fogged double panes, sliders that fight you every spring. Modern Soft-Lite vinyl units seal and insulate far better than anything standard in the '70s and '80s. We measure every opening and order each window to size, and the install carries our 5-year labor warranty on top of the manufacturer's coverage.
Can you replace the original tub and surround in a Farmingdale-era bathroom?
That is exactly what our bath division does. We pull the old tub or fiberglass combo and install Onyx Collection or BCI acrylic — both true solid-surface materials, not liners over old fixtures, with no tile and no grout lines to scrub — finished with Moen fixtures. Walk-in showers and low-threshold bases work well for anyone planning to stay in their home, and grab bars go exactly where you want them.
Does Excel cover Darien and ZIP 60561?
Yes. Darien and ZIP 60561 are part of our standard Chicagoland service area, handled from our headquarters at 8049 185th Street in Tinley Park. In-home consultations are free — a consultant comes to you, measures, and walks through options and real pricing on the spot, with no obligation. We've operated this way since 1982.
