The lines we install
Every reason people call us about windows
Tap any one — here’s what actually changes when the windows are done right.
Comfort-Foam R5 fills the frame where cheaper windows leave hollow air, and a metal-free Warm-Edge Super Spacer kills the cold edge. Elements seals to .01 CFM — 30× tighter than the AAMA standard; Classic Plus tests at .08, still about 4× tighter.
Multi-pane glass and tight seals shut out traffic and mowers. Pella’s triple-pane sound package cuts outside noise up to 52%.
Fog between the panes means a failed seal. The Warm-Edge Super Spacer keeps the glass edge about 16° warmer — seals last longer and winter condensation drops.
ILTIS dual-action sashes tilt in so you clean both sides from inside. Vinyl and aluminum-clad finishes never need scraping or paint.
K-Beam meeting-rail reinforcement — Kevlar-cored, stronger than steel — backs the lock. Multipoint hardware standard, laminated glass where you want more.
Low-E coatings block up to 95–99% of the UV that fades hardwood, rugs, and furniture — without darkening the room.
Sierra Pacific runs 50 cladding colors over real-wood interiors; Soft-Lite adds woodgrain interiors and Sure-Coat exteriors engineered to keep their color.
20-year to lifetime manufacturer product warranties, 5-year Excel labor, and no service-fee gate on a warranty call. It’s in the contract.
WHAT ACTUALLY MAKES A WINDOW EFFICIENT
The windows on your house right now probably look fine from the curb. The difference is in the parts you can’t see — and it shows up on the January gas bill, not in a brochure photo.
| Feature | A window we install | A standard window |
|---|---|---|
| Glass coating | Low-E coating that reflects heat back where you want it | Often clear glass, no coating |
| Between the panes | Argon gas, sealed in | Plain air |
| Edge spacer | Warm-edge spacer — stops heat escaping at the glass edge | Metal spacer that conducts cold straight through |
| Inside the frame | Foam-filled — Comfort-Foam R5 on Soft-Lite | Hollow air chambers |
| Air infiltration | .01 CFM on Elements (Classic Plus: .08) | The AAMA industry standard allows .30 CFM |
That last row is the one worth remembering: the industry standard allows nearly four times the air leakage of the line we install most. None of this shows up in a photo. It shows up in January.
THE EXCEL PROMISE
Three things we hold to on every job — the reasons families call us back and send their neighbors.
Chris still runs the company he started, and the same installers come back job after job. You're never handing your house to a stranger.
We walk you through the options and leave a written proposal — not a high-pressure pitch. You decide on your own time.
Most of our work is repeat and referral — because every job gets the same care and craftsmanship we'd want in our own homes.
WHAT TO EXPECT
Most projects run about 6–8 weeks from first call to install day.
The Windows We Build
Every style, in the lines that fit your home and your budget.
Styles we install
Vinyl
Two models — Elements and Classic Plus — built tighter than the industry asks for.
Lifetime product warranty with a one-time transfer to the next owner; glass-breakage rider standard on Elements.
Foam-filled vinyl engineered for real efficiency.
Transferable lifetime limited warranty — among the strongest in the category.
Real Wood & Clad
The wood window that thinks of everything — blinds sealed between the glass.
Limited lifetime warranty with 20-year glass coverage.
Three materials fused into one — aluminum outside for weather, wood inside for warmth.
Sierra Pacific’s transferable 30/20 limited warranty.
REAL EXCEL WINDOWS
Real Excel window installs across the south suburbs — swipe, or use the arrow buttons.
Backed For The Long Haul
A window is only as good as what stands behind it. Here’s exactly what you get — written into your contract, not promised at the door.
From 20-year glass coverage to lifetime with a one-time transfer to the next owner, depending on the line. Soft-Lite and ProVia carry lifetime; Sierra Pacific runs 30/20.
On every window we install. If our workmanship is the issue, we make it right — no argument about whose fault it is.
Call us out under warranty and there’s no per-visit charge just to ask. A lot of companies bury that fee. We don’t have one.
Financing available — ask about options at your free consultation.

Most whole-home jobs run one to two days. We give you a real timeline at the consultation, not a guess.
It comes down to how many windows, which line, and the glass package — so we don't quote over the phone. The free in-home consultation is where you get a real, written number. The drivers: the number of openings, the line (Soft-Lite is our primary, with ProVia, Sierra Pacific, and Pella), the glass package you pick, and whether an opening takes a full-frame replacement or a simpler insert. We measure every one, show you what fits your home and budget, and price it off your actual house — not a menu.
Yes. We send the same crews job after job — low turnover, same faces from day one to handoff. We're not picking a name out of a hat and sending a stranger to your house.
Get three estimates and ask all of them the same seven questions: who actually installs, what the warranty covers and what a service call costs, made-to-order or stock, whether the quote is itemized and how long it holds, what they're licensed for, who answers the phone in year three, and the APR alongside the cash price. We wrote the whole checklist out — including our own answers — so you can take it to the other two.
Soft-Lite is our primary line (Elements and Classic Plus), plus ProVia, Sierra Pacific, and Pella — depending on what fits your home and budget.
Three things working together: a Low-E glass coating, argon gas sealed between the panes, and a warm-edge spacer that stops heat escaping at the glass edge. We also foam-fill the frame (Comfort-Foam R5 on Soft-Lite) where cheaper windows leave hollow air.
Air infiltration is how much air leaks straight through the window. The industry standard (AAMA) allows .30 CFM; the Soft-Lite Elements line tests at .01 — about 30 times tighter — and Classic Plus tests at .08, still roughly four times tighter than the standard. Less leak means lower bills and fewer drafts.
As low as 0.17 on ProVia Endure. U-factor measures heat loss — the lower the number, the better the window holds your heat in winter and out in summer. We'll show you the rating on the exact glass package you're considering.
Manufacturer product warranties run 20-year to lifetime depending on the line, plus 5-year Excel labor on every window we install. No service-fee gate when you call us out under warranty. The specifics are written into your contract.
Some — it depends on the glass package you choose. Energy Star isn't a blanket claim across every window. We'll tell you which configurations qualify before you sign.
Ready When You Are
A free, no-pressure in-home consultation. We bring the product samples, measure what we need to measure, and leave you with a clear written proposal — not a sales pitch.
