Serving Downers Grove, Illinois
From Sears kit homes to teardown new-builds
Downers Grove grew up along the railroad and still runs on it — three Metra BNSF stations (Main Street, Fairview Avenue, and Belmont) serve the town, and the 1928 Tivoli Theatre anchors a walkable downtown. The housing tells the same long story. Sears catalog kit homes and 1920s bungalows sit near the tracks, postwar ranches and split-levels fill the mid-century blocks, and subdivisions like Orchard Brook went in during the 1960s and '70s. Around Main Street, teardown lots are turning into new custom homes. The median Downers Grove house dates to the mid-1970s — which means a lot of original windows are still on duty.
Excel is headquartered in Tinley Park and has served Chicagoland homes since 1982 — Downers Grove sits squarely in our service area. That housing mix is exactly what we work on: Soft-Lite and ProVia replacement windows sized for drafty postwar ranches, ProVia entry doors, CertainTeed Monogram and LP SmartSide siding for split-levels ready for a new exterior, and Onyx Collection or BCI solid-surface bath systems from Excel Shower & Bath. We're an EPA Lead-Safe Certified Firm, which matters in a town with this many pre-1978 homes. Every project starts with a free in-home consultation and carries our 5-year labor warranty.

Downers Grove — common questions
Reviewed August 2026
Does Excel really serve Downers Grove?
Yes — Downers Grove 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 Downers 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 replace windows in older Downers Grove homes, like the Sears kit houses and bungalows near downtown?
Yes. Older frames near downtown are rarely square, so we measure every opening and order windows built to size from Soft-Lite, ProVia, Sierra Pacific, or Pella — no forcing a stock unit into a 100-year-old wall. Excel is an EPA Lead-Safe Certified Firm, which matters for homes built before 1978. You get options that keep the original look while finally sealing out the drafts.
Does Excel remodel bathrooms in Downers Grove's 1960s and '70s split-levels?
Yes — and that era of bathroom is usually due. Excel Shower & Bath installs Onyx Collection and BCI solid-surface wall systems with Moen fixtures: no tile to scrub, no liners, and low-threshold shower options if step-overs are getting harder. Most remodels wrap up in days, not weeks, and everything carries Excel's 5-year labor warranty, backed by manufacturer warranties that run 20 years to lifetime.
Which parts of Downers Grove does Excel serve?
All of it — Excel covers both Downers Grove ZIP codes, 60515 and 60516, from the downtown blocks near the Main Street Metra station to Denburn Woods and Orchard Brook. Consultations are free and in-home: a designer measures, shows real product samples, and gives you a firm quote. And if you're just outside the village line, call anyway — the service area covers the neighboring suburbs too.
