Serving Kankakee, Illinois
From Riverview's century homes to Marycrest's postwar streets
Kankakee is a river city with real architectural bones. In the Riverview Historic District, homes built between 1890 and 1950 line the streets around Cobb Park — among them the B. Harley Bradley House, widely considered Frank Lloyd Wright's first Prairie-style design. Downtown, the 1897 Illinois Central depot still serves Amtrak riders daily. And the numbers tell the rest: nearly a third of Kankakee's homes predate 1939, and nearly half went up between the 1940s and the 1960s — postwar ranches and Cape Cods in west-side subdivisions like Marycrest.
Excel is headquartered in Tinley Park, about 45 minutes north of Kankakee, and has been in business since 1982. Older housing is our comfort zone. For pre-war bathrooms and tired postwar hall baths alike, Excel Shower & Bath replaces worn tubs and aging tile with grout-free Onyx Collection solid surface or Bath Concepts acrylic walls, finished with Moen fixtures. Excel Windows handles the rest: Soft-Lite, ProVia, Sierra Pacific, and Pella windows, ProVia entry doors, and CertainTeed Monogram vinyl or LP SmartSide engineered-wood siding. Every consultation is free and happens in your home. Every job carries Excel's 5-year labor warranty.

Kankakee — common questions
Reviewed August 2026
Does Excel really serve Kankakee?
Yes — Kankakee is part of our Chicagoland service area. We're headquartered in Tinley Park, and we schedule free in-home consultations across the Kankakee County area, including Kankakee. 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 convert the tub in an older Kankakee home into a walk-in shower?
Yes. Tub-to-shower conversions fit Kankakee's housing well — pre-war bathrooms and postwar hall baths were built around high-sided tubs that are hard to step over now. We measure your space, then install grout-free walls in Onyx Collection solid surface or Bath Concepts acrylic with Moen fixtures and a low-threshold base. No tile, no thin liners. The work carries Excel's 5-year labor warranty on top of the manufacturer's coverage.
My house near the Riverview Historic District was built before 1940 — can you replace windows in a home that old?
That's typical here — nearly a third of Kankakee's homes predate 1939. Excel is an EPA Lead-Safe Certified Firm, which matters whenever original paint gets disturbed in pre-1978 houses. We replace worn weight-and-pulley-era units with Soft-Lite, ProVia, Sierra Pacific, or Pella windows sized to the original openings, and the same crews handle the interior trim. Consultations are free and happen at your kitchen table.
Does Excel actually come out to Kankakee?
Yes. Kankakee and the 60901 ZIP are part of Excel's regular service area. We're headquartered in Tinley Park, about 45 minutes north, and Kankakee County consultations work the same way they do everywhere we go: free, in your home, with real measurements and a firm quote. If you're weighing a bath remodel against new windows, we can look at both in a single visit.
