Serving Elgin, Illinois
From watch-factory cottages to Randall Road new builds
Elgin is the Fox Valley's big river city — nearly 115,000 people on both banks of the Fox, from the old watch-factory neighborhoods near the river to the newer subdivisions west of Randall Road. The housing tells the story: the city has documented more than 2,000 bungalows in its own Bungalow Thematic Historic District, Spring-Douglas is lined with homes built between 1886 and 1920, and the far-west 60124 side filled in after 2000 with communities like Highland Woods and Edgewater by Del Webb. Two Metra stops on the Milwaukee District West — downtown Elgin and Big Timber Road — tie it all to downtown Chicago.
Excel has been at this since 1982, headquartered in Tinley Park and serving Elgin as part of our Chicagoland service area. The work here splits two ways. Excel Shower & Bath handles the tubs and showers — Onyx Collection and BCI solid-surface systems with Moen fixtures, sized to the tight alcoves you find in pre-war bungalows and the bigger baths out west. Excel Windows covers the rest: Soft-Lite and ProVia windows for drafty originals, ProVia entry doors, and CertainTeed or LP SmartSide siding. Every job carries our 5-year labor warranty, and the consultation at your kitchen table is free.

Elgin — common questions
Reviewed August 2026
Does Excel really serve Elgin?
Yes — Elgin is part of our Chicagoland service area. We're headquartered in Tinley Park, and we schedule free in-home consultations across the Fox Valley area, including Elgin. 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 Excel replace a tub with a walk-in shower in an older Elgin home?
Yes. Older Elgin baths — especially in the bungalows and pre-war two-stories east of the river — often have narrow, non-standard alcoves. Onyx Collection and BCI solid-surface systems are measured and built to those exact dimensions, so there's no tile to grout and no liner over old problems. Moen fixtures, low-threshold options for easier stepping in, and a 5-year Excel labor warranty on the work.
What windows make sense in Elgin's historic districts?
Homes in the Elgin Historic District and Spring-Douglas area were mostly built between the 1880s and 1920s, and the goal is usually to keep the original look while losing the drafts. Soft-Lite and ProVia vinyl double-hungs come in profiles and grid patterns that read like old wood windows, and ProVia and Sierra Pacific offer options where a truer traditional appearance matters. We measure every opening in person — free.
Does Excel really cover Elgin from Tinley Park?
Yes. Excel is headquartered at 8049 185th St in Tinley Park, and Elgin — ZIPs 60120, 60123, and 60124 — sits inside our Chicagoland service area. In-home consultations are free, the measuring is done in person, and the same crews handle the installs, job after job. Family-run since 1982.
