Serving Hillside, Illinois
Hillside's postwar brick, done right
Hillside sits in Cook County's near west suburbs — a compact village of about 8,300 people tucked between the Eisenhower Expressway and the big Catholic cemeteries, Mount Carmel and Queen of Heaven, out at Wolf and Roosevelt. The village dates to 1905, and its farmland started splitting into lots in the 1920s, but most of Hillside was built in one postwar push: the population jumped from about 1,100 in 1940 to nearly 7,800 by 1960, right as the expressway came through. That's why the blocks read so consistently — brick ranches and bungalows with front stoops and gabled roofs, bi-levels mixed in, and a scattering of newer builds.
Excel serves Hillside from our Tinley Park headquarters at 8049 185th St — the village sits squarely inside our Chicagoland service area, with free in-home consultations and the same crews, job after job, since 1982. For Hillside's brick ranches and bi-levels, the right fits are usually insert replacement windows — Soft-Lite first, plus ProVia, Sierra Pacific, and Pella — sized to the masonry opening so the brick stays put; ProVia entry doors; solid-surface tub-to-shower conversions from the Onyx Collection or Bath Concepts acrylic; and CertainTeed Monogram vinyl or LP SmartSide engineered wood where there's siding to replace. Every job carries our 5-year labor warranty.

Hillside — common questions
Reviewed August 2026
Does Excel really serve Hillside?
Yes — Hillside is part of our Chicagoland service area. We're headquartered in Tinley Park, and we schedule free in-home consultations across the near west suburbs, including Hillside. 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.
What replacement windows make sense for a brick ranch in Hillside?
Most Hillside ranches and bi-levels have solid masonry openings, so insert replacement windows are usually the right call — the new unit is measured to the existing opening and the brick never gets disturbed. We lead with Soft-Lite vinyl and also carry ProVia, Sierra Pacific, and Pella. The goal is simple: kill the drafts, cut the noise from the Eisenhower, and do it once. Your consultation and measurements are free.
Can you turn a 1950s hall-bath tub into a walk-in shower?
Yes — tub-to-shower conversions are a natural fit for postwar hall baths like Hillside's. Excel Shower & Bath installs solid-surface systems — the Onyx Collection and Bath Concepts acrylic — with Moen fixtures. No tile to grout, no thin liners over old walls. Most conversions wrap up in days, not weeks, and a low step-in makes daily life easier if climbing over a tub wall has gotten harder. In-home design consultations are free.
Does Excel really cover Hillside from Tinley Park?
Yes. Hillside (ZIP 60162) is part of our standing Chicagoland service area. We're headquartered in Tinley Park at 8049 185th St and have been in business since 1982. Consultations happen at your home, free, with real measurements — and the same crews handle the work, job after job. Product warranties run 20 years to lifetime depending on the line, and Excel backs the labor for 5 years.
