Excel Windows
Double-Hung Windows
The classic Chicagoland window. Both sashes tilt in for easy cleaning, and they seal tight against the cold.
Double-hung windows are the ones most people picture when they think of a window — two sashes, one over the other, both sliding up and down. They fit almost any style of house, and the tilt-in sashes make cleaning the outside glass something you can do from inside.
We've been installing them in south-suburb homes since 1982. We measure each opening, install clean, and seal it right so you're not feeling a draft come February.
BRANDS WE INSTALL
Double-Hung Windows — common questions
Why double-hung over a slider or casement?
Double-hung is the most versatile — it suits most home styles, both sashes tilt in for cleaning, and there's no crank or moving arm to maintain. We'll tell you honestly if another style fits your opening better.
Will new windows really cut my heating bill?
Old single-pane or failed double-pane windows leak a lot of heat. Modern double-pane units with good seals make a real difference on a Chicago winter — we'll talk specifics for your home, not vague promises.
Can the same window match different rooms?
Yes. We can keep one look across the house or vary sizes and grilles room to room. We sort that out at the consultation.
How long does the install take?
Most whole-home double-hung jobs run one to two days, weather depending. We give you a real timeline up front.
What's the warranty?
You get the manufacturer's product warranty plus Excel's labor warranty. The specifics are written into your contract — read them, and ask us anything.
Will the same crew be on my job?
Yes. We send the same crews job after job — low turnover, same faces from start to finish.
