What we see on Metamora homes
Metamora's median house dates from 1989, which puts most of the town in the build-out between 1970 and 1990. 1,604 housing units, 90.7% of the occupied ones owner-occupied. That is a high share, and it means most of these conversations are with the person who will live with the result rather than with somebody signing off on a property they never see. 10.7% has been built since 2010, so a fair number of these are original builder units reaching the age where the glass seal goes before anything else does.
The seventies and eighties are where the first generation of vinyl siding and aluminum-clad windows shows up, and both are now well past what they were built for. Vinyl from that era goes chalky and brittle: it cracks when a ladder leans on it instead of flexing. The windows fail differently. The sealed unit fogs while the frame still looks perfectly sound, which is why people put up with them for years longer than they need to. On windows specifically the number that matters is how many openings are actually costing you. We will quote the worst room on its own if that is the sensible place to start.

What we can put on a Metamora house
Elite Pro and Elite Pro Plus+ windows: vinyl frames, energy-efficient glass, and the full range of shapes: double-hung, casement, awning, slider, bay and bow, picture, garden and geometric. Interior woodgrains and UV-resistant exterior colors, grids in colonial, prairie or perimeter prairie, and obscure or rain glass where a bathroom or a street-facing window needs it. Every unit is measured to your opening rather than ordered as a size.
There is a showroom at 402 S. Main St., Creve Coeur, IL 61610, with full-size units rather than swatches. Daylight changes a color more than most people expect it to.
