Find out what real homeowners say about working with McCann Window

Third in a Series: Yes, we can talk all day about the benefits of choosing McCann to replace windows or doors. However, we would rather have real clients share real stories about what it’s like to work with us.

Windows that Just Had to Go After Nearly 30 Years

The Ungaris needed all new windows in their Glenview, Illinois home, and they had 17 total openings, including:

  • Two sliding patio doors
  • Five three-section casement-style windows
  • Five single casement-style windows
  • Five double casement windows

After meeting with Kevin McCann, the Ungaris chose to go with Marvin for the window brand for the aesthetics, function, and durability. Marvin offers several styles of windows including single hung, double hung, casement, awning, and glider windows.

At McCann, we pride ourselves on simplifying the window replacement process and clarifying some of the most important considerations when choosing windows that work for your home. If you aren’t sure what type of windows and doors will be best for your home, we are happy to guide you through the options. We provide you with information about materials that will compliment the style of your house while helping you choose options that stay within your budget. We invite you to schedule a free consultation with one of our experts today.

A Great Installation Experience in Just 2 Days

This is the first time the couple had a replacement project completed by McCann Window. McCann had been recommended to them by Terry Albaugh of  The Craftsman Group. “We had Terry do a number of jobs in our house and were quite impressed, so we trusted his opinion.” Michael Ungari says.

They were likewise pleased with the McCann experience, including how “proficient and professional” McCann’s dedicated installers were while completing the project. “They did a wonderful job cleaning up and respected our living space,” Michael says.

These project photos show the extent of the windows and doors project on the Ungari’s Glenview, IL home:

Sliding doors maximize the amount of daylight that can enter your home. You will want to make sure that you choose doors that are energy efficient like the Ungaris did.

We check our work. Once the windows and doors are installed, we perform a final inspection to make sure everything is in excellent working order.

Chicago Homeowners Remodel Rather than Move

Two articles caught my attention this past week. Both reinforce what I see daily as I meet homeowners. People are remodeling and rehabbing when they see that they can’t sell their homes.

Crain’s Chicago Business this week reports that the home remodelers are busy again. “Most expect their volume to be up 30 percent or better in 2012.” Low interest rates and a high inventory of unsold homes make it more attractive to stay put and make stand-out improvements to your home. Read more in the Crain’s article “Rehab for the housebound.”

One way to make a statement is to consider the focal point of the house: the entry door. Architect Lynn Hopkins, writing in FineHomebuilding, points out that, “it’s important for the entry door to be appropriate to the house style.”

Her article provides drawings of doors that are appropriate to each of four broad styles: colonial, Victorian, bungalow, and modern. Read more in “Enhance Style with the Right Entry Door.”

If you want additional ideas for how windows, doors, and siding can enhance the beauty, value, and comfort of your home, call McCann or fill in the Contact Us form on this page, top right.
