About Forde Windows
Our Guiding Principles
Since our founding in 1987, Forde Windows has been dedicated to gaining our clients’ trust. Nearly 40 years later, homeowners and commercial property owners do trust us because they understand that we will execute their window, door, and siding replacements based on our four guiding principles. Our customers know we just don’t talk about these principles, we live them.
Listening
It’s about you, not us. It’s your exterior remodeling project, and we will not begin it until we are thoroughly comfortable that we understand your needs and goals, as well as your budget. During the project, we communicate frequently to address any concerns and make sure we are exceeding your expectations.
Reliability
We arrive when we say we will arrive. We work diligently until the project is completed. Our clients compliment us for cleaning up after ourselves and minimizing disruption to their homes and businesses.
Professionalism
We constantly strive to maintain a high level of professionalism in all we do. Our team participates in continuing education to keep up with the most recent trends, technologies and regulations, including local building codes.
Forde Windows partners with some of the most skilled and dedicated tradespeople in the Chicago, IL, area. We have worked with most of them for more than 20 years, and we are also very involved in our industry. The following are just a few of our affiliations:
- National Association of the Remodeling Industry (NARI)
- Certified Remodeler Program
- Certified Lead Carpenter Program
- Remodeling Magazine’s BIG 50
- EPA RRP Lead Safe Remodeling
Integrity
One of the reasons we have been successful since 1987 is that we have been honest and open with our clients. We demonstrate care, courtesy, and respect to our customers and community.
We believe so strongly in this value that we actively participate in local and national legislative committees that are working to ensure fair business transactions in the exterior remodeling industry, to protect customers and to improve the relationship between consumers and contractors.
