What we see on Peoria homes
The median house in Peoria was built in 1966, and 54.5% of the housing stock there predates 1970. 54,526 housing units, 58.2% of the occupied ones owner-occupied, which is a lower share than most of the towns we cover. A good deal of what we look at here is a rental or a recent purchase, and in both cases the useful question is what has to be done now against what can wait. 21.9% of it predates 1940, so a lot of these openings are out of square and none of them are a catalog size. That is the whole reason we measure every opening instead of ordering to a chart.
The exterior on a house that age is often not the first one. Aluminum siding from the sixties, vinyl over the top of it in the nineties, and somewhere underneath the wood the house was built with. We look behind the old material before quoting, so the layer count and the state of the sheathing are known rather than guessed at. In these houses the original single-glazed windows are usually the biggest single draft in the place. 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.

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.
