What we write about, and why

Every post here answers a question Aurora property owners actually ask before they hire anyone — what work costs, which materials are worth the upcharge, how long a job really takes, and the shortcuts that look fine for two years and then do not.

The writing comes from the same people doing the work in Aurora, IL and Chicago's far western suburbs, which is why the numbers are specific and the advice sometimes tells you not to spend money.

Skip the articles and go to the page for what you need — each one covers pricing, scope and how to start:

  • Energy-Efficient Windows in AuroraThe number your windows must hit here is not decided at the Aurora permit counter. It is decided in Springfield, under one statewide energy code, and it lands identically on every house inside the city limits.
  • Vinyl Windows in AuroraMost of Aurora is not a preservation problem. It is subdivision housing built between 1990 and 2010, and on that stock welded vinyl is usually the correct answer rather than the cheap one.
  • Fiberglass Windows in AuroraFiberglass is a good product being sold in Aurora for the wrong reason. Nobody here needs it to satisfy the energy code, because vinyl already does that, so the case has to be made on something else.
  • Wood & Clad Windows in AuroraAbout 8,600 Aurora housing units date from 1939 or earlier. That is roughly one in seven, concentrated in the older grid rather than scattered, and it is the one part of town where a full window replacement is often the wrong first move.
  • Aluminum Windows in AuroraThis is a page that mostly talks people out of a product. In a heating-dominated zone 5 climate, residential aluminum is a hard sell on physics, and the state energy code does not care how much you like the sightlines.
