Cold air by a closed window?

Renovate Right 365 is a window and siding company based in Naperville, owned by Dave Sonner, who has replaced windows and siding since 1993. Dave comes out to look at your windows in person, and installation partners who have worked with him since the 1990s do the install.

Yes. When your town requires a permit for the job, Renovate Right 365 prepares and files it for you. Rules differ in Naperville, Bolingbrook, Plainfield and Woodridge, and our window and siding permit guide covers each town.

Yes. Dave looks at each window with you, and if yours still have good years left, he says so. If some do need replacing, you get a written quote with the exact products and price, so you can take your time and talk it over.

The federal window tax credit (Section 25C) ended for windows installed after December 31, 2025, and ComEd does not currently list a rebate for residential windows. One local program does exist: the City of Naperville pays residential Naperville Electric customers $250 for each single-pane window they replace, up to $2,500 or 50% of the eligible cost, whichever is lower. Most Naperville addresses buy power from Naperville Electric, the city utility; Bolingbrook and Plainfield homes are on ComEd. The rules: only single-pane windows count, the new windows must be double- or triple-pane with a U-factor of 0.30 or lower, new construction does not qualify, you must contribute at least $5 a month for five years to the city's Renewable Energy Program, and you must complete the application within 120 days of installation. Rebate programs change every year, so ask us during your estimate and we will check what is available for your home.

DuPage and Will counties are in the ENERGY STAR Northern zone. Under the current Version 7 rules (in effect since October 23, 2023), a Northern-zone window needs a U-factor of 0.22 or lower with a solar heat gain coefficient (SHGC) of 0.17 or higher. Two trade-offs also qualify: a U-factor of 0.23 to 0.24 with SHGC 0.35 or higher, or a U-factor of 0.25 to 0.26 with SHGC 0.40 or higher. Air leakage must be 0.3 cfm per square foot or less. Patio doors that are more than half glass need a U-factor of 0.26 or lower and SHGC of 0.40 or lower.

It depends on the town and the job. Naperville's permit guide lists window replacement that changes the size or style, and new openings, as permit work, and it does not clearly exempt a same-size swap, so confirm your scope with the city. Bolingbrook requires permits for various renovations, so confirm with its Building Division. In Plainfield, ask the building department. Historic districts and HOAs can add their own approval. Our window and siding permit guide, linked below, covers each town.

ENERGY STAR certified windows may help lower heating and cooling costs versus single-pane windows. Your savings depend on your current windows, your home, and your heating costs, so we look at yours during the estimate.

Renovate Right 365 installs insulated, double-pane windows in all standard styles: double-hung, casement, sliding, picture, and bay, with ENERGY STAR rated options. We help you pick the right fit for your home and budget, and the exact product is written into your proposal.

Most whole-home window replacements take 1 to 3 days, depending on the number of windows. Your written proposal confirms the schedule for your project.

Warranty coverage depends on the product; we go over it in writing at your estimate. Well-maintained double-pane windows often last for decades in Illinois weather.

We focus on Naperville and the western suburbs: Naperville, Bolingbrook, Plainfield, Woodridge and nearby towns. If you're outside that area, call (877) 517-7365 and we'll tell you honestly whether we can help.

It depends on your home. After your free in-home visit and measurement, you get a clear written price based on your home's actual window count, style, and condition.

The clearest signs are condensation or fog trapped between the panes, a noticeable draft near the frame even when the window is fully closed, frost forming on the inside of the glass in winter, and visible warping or cracking in the frame. Any of these mean the window's seal has likely failed and it's time to consider replacement.

Yes. Renovate Right 365 installs windows across the Chicago suburbs, including Naperville, Bolingbrook and Plainfield, and the rest of our Cook, DuPage, Will and Kane County service area.
