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.

Five-Star Reviews

What Our Clients Are Saying

“It was a difficult job because none of the walls and ceilings in our high rise building are level. Yet Forde compensated for this and the installation looks and functions perfectly. In addition to a fantastic job they have also been available years later for questions or concerns. A top-notch group. Would never use anyone else.”

Saven B.

“If you're looking for a remodeling company that combines quality craftsmanship with exceptional service, look no further than Forde Windows and Remodeling. They are truly deserving of every bit of praise they receive, and we wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone in need of their services.”

Mark B.

“The existing window demolition and new installation went smoothly, and the Forde carpenters did a marvelous job constructing a new hard maple casing that matches the building's original woodwork. We found Forde very responsive to our concern with every technical detail, and we are very satisfied with the results of their work.”
