Serving Elmhurst, Illinois
From Cherry Farm bungalows to new infill builds
Elmhurst has one of the widest housing mixes in the western suburbs. Around 15 percent of its stock predates 1939 — bungalows, Tudors, and Georgians in older sections like Cherry Farm and Crescent Park, both platted before 1930. The postwar years filled in the rest: ranches and split-levels in Elm Estates and across south Elmhurst, with a median build year in the mid-1960s. And for two decades now, teardowns have been adding new construction on old lots. Walk a block near Wilder Park or the downtown Metra station and you can see all three eras side by side.
Excel is headquartered in Tinley Park and has handled that kind of variety across Chicagoland since 1982 — Elmhurst sits inside our regular service area. A mixed housing stock means the right answer changes house by house: full-frame window replacement where a prewar sill hides rot, insert installs where a 1960s ranch's frames are still square, and solid-surface bath systems sized to tight hall baths. We start with a free in-home consultation, measure what's actually there, and back the work with a 5-year labor warranty — and the same crews, job after job.

Elmhurst — common questions
Reviewed August 2026
Does Excel really serve Elmhurst?
Yes — Elmhurst 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 Elmhurst. 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.
Do you replace windows in Elmhurst's older homes?
Yes. Prewar homes in areas like Cherry Farm and Crescent Park often call for full-frame replacement — old frames can hide rot you can't see from inside. Where frames are still sound, an insert install keeps the original trim intact. We carry Soft-Lite as our primary line, plus ProVia, Sierra Pacific, and Pella, and we measure every opening at a free in-home consultation.
Can you update a small hall bath in a postwar Elmhurst ranch?
That's exactly the kind of bath we like. Hall baths in 1950s and 60s ranches run tight, and a made-to-measure shower or tub surround uses every inch. We install Onyx Collection and Bath Concepts solid-surface systems with Moen fixtures — no tile grout to scrub, no thin liners. Most projects wrap in days, not weeks, and carry our 5-year labor warranty.
What siding do you install on Elmhurst homes?
CertainTeed Monogram vinyl and LP SmartSide engineered wood with the Diamond Kote finish. Both stand up to freeze-thaw Chicago winters better than tired builder-grade cladding, and both fit Elmhurst's mix — postwar ranches in Elm Estates through newer infill builds. Manufacturer warranties run 20 years to lifetime depending on product, and Excel's own labor warranty covers 5 years.
