Semko Chicago Replacement Windows

We hired Semko this fall for a total building window replacement project, almost 300 windows. This was a major job, 100 year old building, with big windows! Over the course of 3 weeks the Semko crews organized and completed the job. I can’t say enough good things about the experience. 2 months later I’m happy to say we absolutely hired the best company for the job got the best deal and 24 out of 24 owners have commented they are 100% satisfied with the finished product. Big thanks to Jason and Adam.

We are very happy with our new Windows! Our new place is warmer and definitely energy efficient. Semko, too out our old aluminum frame windows and replaced them with energy efficient pvc ones. I highly recommend Semko if you are looking to get new Windows. They were helpful, friendly and efficient in every step of the way. Thanks!!!

Fast, easy and stress free. A friend of mine recommended Semko so they were one of the several estimates that I got. They were the best reviewed and price so I had to do it. They were out in a few days to measure and give estimate and then just a few weeks later they were installed. Done.

Not only did they replace 10 windows in my house, they also created a hole in the wall to add one more. They did a terrific job! The workers are considerate and professional, and the price is very fair. Very good quality windows. No hassle, just straightforward and honest. Jason is a down-​to-​earth, responsive and friendly representative for this local, family-​owned business.

We had our windows installed today and I just wished my experience with everybody was as great as it has been with Semko.
Absolutely professional, reliable, nice, great work, I can’t say enough. We absolutely love the work that was done in our house, windows were ready exactly after the time we were told they would be. Starting with the estimate thorough taking measurements to the actual installation everybody always showed up on time (I had to leave home by 7:30 am, the carpenter was at my door before 7 am so I wasn’t late).
We left the installation crew home alone for the whole day I can’t tell there was any work done, everything is clean and neat. Before choosing SEMKO I spoke with several other companies, there is nobody who will do it better.
Will absolutely recommend them to friends and family!

Spoke with Jason on the phone and explained to him what we needed… Jason arrived at our home a couple hours after our phone call… measured our windows and patio door… gave an estimate. and completed the order… Very friendly in explaining how long they had been in business and what the complete cost would be… Weeks later we got a call to set up a installation time and the crew arrived as scheduled… completed the install. cleaned up all the debris, and explained the operation of the new door and windows… Very pleased with the quality of the work as well as the product…

When I first decided to replace the 11 windows of my rental apartment I called the big name popular company I saw on TV since they were offering the penny installation. One of their guys came out, measured my windows, and then it was as if I was buying a car; he first gave me a high quote, I refused, he brought the number down, I was still unsure, he brought it even lower while telling me how great of a deal I’m getting BUT he could only offer it that day. He even called his boss in front of me having a conversation with him as if his boss thought it was crazy to offer me such a great deal. So I signed, knowing I had three days to cancel. Later on that day I went on Unilocal and found Semko with 5 star reviews so i called. Jason said he could come out the next day. He showed up, did some measurements, and since I was on the 3^rd floor told me he had to talk to his contractor before giving me an estimate. No negotiations, no hassles, no games. At the end of the day he sends me an estimate about $ 500 less than the other guy! When I canceled with the other company they said they could match or beat the estimate I was given. No thanks, I stuck with Semko. The contract was signed on July 23 and the windows were installed on Aug. 8. I asked the contractors if they could remove or cover their shoes and they did. Nice. They started the job at 8am and were done by noon. They cleaned up after themselves and left my tenants with beautiful new energy efficient windows!

My husband and I purchased an older apartment. The original windows were in bad shape and we needed to replace them. I read the positive reviews on Unilocal and gave Semko a call. Jason came to our apartment. He measured our windows, explained the process, gave us a price quote, and followed up the next day. The cost quote was all inclusive — no hidden/​add-​on costs for anything. We made the decision to replace our windows and, after my custom windows came in, we arranged a date for installation.
The work crew was professional, polite, efficient, and respectful. There were no surprises anywhere along the way and we love our new windows!
I wholeheartedly recommend Semko for Window replacement!

I know I give a lot of 5 stars, but this Semko deserves five stars. Jason is honest and trustworthy, work was competed ahead of schedule. Thanks for getting the windows in time for Thanksgiving.

We visited the Semko showroom and met with Jason. Very nice and helpful and explained everything to us. Came to our house to take measurements and talked about how we could save money. His carpenter and crew came on the scheduled day and time to replace our bathroom window; were very courteous and respectful of our home. Could not believe my eyes when they were done. Replaced old glass block with a beautiful window that made our bathroom brighter and complete. They cleaned up the work area and were done in a timely manner. We highly recommend Semko and will definitely have them replace other windows in our house at a later time.

I own a multi-​unit rental building in East Humboldt Park and was looking to replace some old single pane windows that were broken and rotting. Plus the windows were odd sizes due to an older building so I had to get custom windows. I’ve never bought windows before so I contacted 3 companies to get quotes: (1) Semko (2) Chicago Window Pros and (3) Feldco. Jason from Semko came out the next day and walked me through the options and gave me a quick quote and explained the process and the installation time. He also followed up with an email detailing the dimensions of the windows, the quote and everything that was included. I was impressed by how honest he was with everything and how quickly he responded when I had questions. I called Semko and was immediately answered by Jason every time. Semko also provided the best price and fastest installation time which was important for a rental building. Chicago Window Pros was a bit more expensive. Feldco seemed to have the fanciest windows BUT they were the most expensive. They claimed to be running a 40% off sale but then the salesman tacked on all these installation charges and other items and it seemed like I was getting nickeled and dimed for everything. The Feldco quote was $ 700 more than the Semko quote and the turnaround time was 3 – 6 weeks! Furthermore, Semko offers a lifetime window and labor warranty on all their windows. Feldco offers a lifetime warranty on their window but their labor is only good for 5 years. So if a Window or screen breaks you’ll pay a ton for labor. Plus the reviews for Semko were just awesome. So I went with my gut instinct and chose Semko.
Sure enough they lived up to their word. Within a week and a half the custome double hung white vinyl windows were ready to be installed. Two guys from Semko (not outside contractors) pulled up and installed the windows within 4 hours. They also noticed that all of the inside window stops were rotted so I talked with Jason and the guys agreed to replace them all for a small fee. The windows, caulking, stops, etc were all really well done and I’m VERY happy with the job they did. I would recommend Semko to everyone for their honesty, good work, lowest prices, quality windows, lifetime warranty on everything and turnaround time.

Fabulous company… I don’t think the experience could have been any better.
We’re moving into a new home and needed to have some windows replaced. Jason was extremely flexible with timing when he came out to give a quote (we’re not living in the home yet, and I have a 1 year old daughter so he was understanding of us perhaps being a little late or early depending on her nap and lunch). He was also friendly, quick, and honest (I was on the fence about having the kitchen window replaced and instead of trying a «hard sell» he honestly told me that it probably didn’t need to be replaced). The price was less than we had expected and the windows came in quickly and were installed in just a few hours. There was no mess at all (we only had the windows, not the frames, but it was still incredibly neat) and the windows look great.
I highly recommend that you use this company!

Jason from Semko came out to give us an estimate to replace a broken window. We really appreciated that he was willing to come out to look at one window and that he recommended that we just replace the glass after inspecting it and finding no damage to the frame. That kind of honesty is hard to come by!
We didn’t end up having Semko replace the window (we got the glass repaired by Accurate Glass Shop), but the next time we need replacement windows for our home, we’ll definitely be going with Semko!

I will preface my 5 star rating with the fact that the guys are in mid installation, but so far everything that they have promised has been delivered. I spoke to Jason, son of the owner, and he has been in contact with me from beginning to almost the end. They provided us with a no nonsense quote, accurate time frames, and friendly service. The three window installation professionals know their stuff. They talked me through the installation process (ie. how they measure them, where the insulation goes, does and dont’s). They showed up when they said they would and have been very respectful of my home. Up until now, I give them 5 stars. I will come back post installation and rerate them if necessary and to provide you with my complete experience.
If you are in the market for windows, whether it’s for your own home or your rental. Save yourself the pain and hassle of some of the other overzealous time consuming presentations that leave you feeling frustrated more than anything! Call Jason

Big money decisions are the hardest, especially when they require strange men to show up and measure your window size. However, Jason, the front end sales guy, and the crew that did the installing were fabulous.
I bought a foreclosure, and along with it came what had to be the worse windows on the planet. I figured since I was going to have to replace them, why not do it right and get the tax-​credit, energy saving windows. I got estimates from a few places, where one tried to gouge me, one refused to just measure and give me a straight estimate (and wanted to give me a song and dance and wouldn’t even do that without my boyfriend present (said boyfriend who doesn’t have an ownership interest in the residence)) and another told me he couldn’t do dark bronze on the outside in vinyl (condo board requirement). I was at my wits end.
Then, like a ray of light, Jason showed up. He measured, gave me the straight story, gave me pricing, and politely (not all pushy like) followed up in a week. I finally made a decision to replace all 11 of my windows and signed on the Semko dotted line. Two weeks later, my house was 15 degrees warmer without using my furnace, and the sound from the El tracks was dulled out.
The work crew was polite, efficient, and workmanly. The experience was about as painless as spending that much money can be (and cheaper than it would have been with some of the other companies). They hauled off the old windows without additional cost. The reframing was included in the cost.
I wholeheartedly recommend Semko for Window replacement!

I needed new windows. Jason came to my house. It was immediately clear that they were window replacement professionals. He provided some advice on the right windows. We received other quotes and Semko were cheap without being too cheap. We decided to go with Jason and they started work the next week. The installation was quality and the results were great. No more drafts, easy to clean and beautiful. Jason gave the direct number of (773) 631 1060 for any questions. Love the work.
