Welcome to EDMAR Contractors website where we showcase our Chicago window installation and many other exterior home improvement services. I have an older home and it was always cold inside I never really minded it till I had my. My bank account still remembers the day I had to write that big check.
I will not mention the name of this manufacturing company but it's one of the top brands on the market. Solid wood windows with aluminum clad exterior surface - beautiful! My honest opinion - don't ever install aluminum clad wood windows. The problem was lingering under the cladding for years I believe; otherwise they wouldn't fall apart on me like they did.
What happened is that the aluminum cladding was leaking water along the glass pane and over the years the lower wood sections in 10 windows and one slider of the patio doors completely rotted out. I wasn't aware of that until black spots started appearing under the varnish surface of the interior wood.

If you don't know what fascia boards are, well, they're basically the flat horizontal boards that run along your roof's edge. This type of board is used for attaching soffit panels beneath the eaves and gutters to the roof. So if you plan on installing new vinyl siding on your house, you can consider installing vinyl trim on the fascia.
This is by no means a vinyl siding installation manual, it is just a basic description of some of its attributes. Vinyl siding installation is easier to carry out when you've established the order to go about it. It is essential to have proper knowledge about the tools and techniques that should be used.
Cement fiber Chicago siding installation is an excellent option for homeowners who want to improve their home's exterior beauty. The ease of installing cement fiber siding and its termite-resistant, moisture-resistant, non-combustible and durable nature make it a very popular choice. Unlike other types of siding, cement fiber sidings usually carry a fifty-year warranty from the manufacturer, confirming its status as the 'Lord of the Sidings'!
Siding comes in a variety of materials to keep the exterior of a building protected such that it can handle changes in weather conditions. The exterior beauty of a building can also be enhanced using sidings. The various materials used for sidings include metal, vinyl, plastic, wood, and composite materials.
Wood siding remains a popular choice among homeowners who are looking for an enhancement in their home's exterior beauty. Traditionally, installation of wood siding in Chicago IL was carried out merely to protect the home from bad weather conditions. However, architects, builders, and interior designers have begun incorporating sidings in their projects not only for insulation but also for the elegant touch they offer.

I have an old addition behind my house and it was sided with aluminum… very long time ago. Previous owner had a yard filled with junk and a lot of it was leaning against the house walls damaging siding. I called EDMAR to give me his price, he was my fourth estimate and came higher than 2 other guys, a few bucks below the most expensive one. The thing is that he knew what he’s talking about so we shook hands and two days ago I got my new siding. I asked his guys to save me aluminum and they even loaded it on my pickup. Good job and highly recommended!

Thank you guys for making my mother happy! That huge bay window looks gorgeous, inside and out! My mom is not internet savvy and asked me to do the honors. So, this is what she asked me to say: “Thank you Mr. Edward for taking such a good care of my living room window. You have a wonderful crew of people who really know their jobs. They kept my place clean during the entire installation and even replaced some of the old, stained window trim. I now have extra space to put my flowers and more light coming to the front room. It was nice to have professionals working for me. I really appreciate it

So here is my story guys, about fifteen years ago I had every single window (12 all together) and a pair of sliding doors replaced in my house in Lincoln Park Chicago. My bank account still remembers the day I had to write that big check. I will not mention the name of this manufacturing company but it’s one of the top brands on the market. Solid wood windows with aluminum clad exterior surface – beautiful! My honest opinion – don’t ever install aluminum clad wood windows.

One of those thunderstorms a few weeks ago knocked down an old tree on my backyard. I was expecting that to happen sooner rather than later and I’m glad that nobody got hurt. Unfortunately that tree shattered two of my rear porch windows and ripped off a few pieces of siding when falling down. Siding damage was very painful because I just had it replaced last fall, as for my windows, although they were old, I’m happy I couldn’t afford to have them changed at that time. Long story short, my nephew recommended EDMAR for the repair job since they have finished working on his house in March.
