We have been your Chicago window specialists since 1928, when the business was founded under the name Scientific Window Company. In early 2009, Scientific Home Services Ltd was incorporated to better meet the rapidly changing demands of the industry and to devote our attention solely to serving our customer needs. Under the current business, we can now offer the broadest range of window style, color, and glass options at the most competitive prices.
Damian and company arrived on time the morning of the installation and proceeded to do an excellent quick replacement of some of my windows and my sliding glass door. It was 16 degrees outside when they started but it was all done in 5 or so hours to my satisfaction. Budget permitting I will probably do the rest of my windows with Scientific.

They were on schedule, actually got here earlier than expected. Installers were polite, respectable of my home. They removed old windows, cleaned up area, installed new windows, caulked and insulated windows, cleaned up and took time to demonstrate the use of the windows. Since the install was on a very cold day, they made sure the rooms they were working in were closed off to prevent the cold from going through the home. They covered all items so the dust would not get everywhere. They vacuumed and put everything back.My sales person was Jon who was great and the field installation team leader Damian was great. I would definitely recommend them to other individuals and will use them for the remaining windows next year. The look and ease of the windows are great.

Excellent, thorough installation of the replacement glass. Noted several modifications made to help improve life of the glass. They were a little difficult to schedule and reach, but overall good communication and smooth process.

Scientific advised me that it would take about 6 weeks to get the windows and door once they were ordered. That turned out to be true. The workers arrived on the date and time that was agreed upon. Even though it was a cold day, the workers closed off the area they were working in so the loss of heat was minimized. I can't remember the names of the the two men that were working but they were both very professional and competent. As a home owner i worry about the potential mess left behind after the work is completed. They did a good job of removing the debris created and left the inside clean as they vacuumed when they were done. I would recommend the company and workers very highly.

John was very helpful in explaining window options and explaining how the installation would be done; he patiently answered my questions. Damian was the lead installer and his team was prompt, professional and very efficient! Both inside and outside areas were clean after the install, then he took the time to review how the windows operated. The basement is much warmer now, thanks so much!

I used Angie's List to select several potential suppliers to replace my original single-pane windows in my home. They were loose, leaking air, impossible to clean, and well past their service life. Although Scientific Home Services did not turn out to be the lowest quote that I received, the quality of the product they proposed was significantly better than the other companies I talked with. After having Jon come out and measure and quote me the job, I decided to go with Scientific. I'm glad I did. Although it took about six weeks to order the windows from the factory, the installation was quickly scheduled as soon as they came in. On the first day of the install, I was pleased to find out that I had not only one, but two installation teams assigned for the day. Although Jason & John were the primary duo for the work, Damian & Yuri also showed up. With two professional crews on site, they quickly divided up the work. Jason handled the patio door, while John and Yuri took out the old windows and started installing the new ones from the inside. Damian was given a ladder and the task of doing all the caulking and aluminum capping around the exterior of each window. With the "assembly line" atmosphere going, it was only 8 hours until all 21 openings were replaced and sealed up once again! On day two, Jason & John returned to remove all the old 70's-style dark vinyl molding around each window and replace them with custom-fit oak casings that match the interior of the windows. A definite upgrade! (A day or two later Mark sent me the "formula" for the Sherwin-Williams stain that would perfectly match the vinyl on the window interior that he got from the manufacturer. As I write this review, the casings are being stained to match, and do they look great!) Each day, the crews covered the surrounding area inside my home to contain dust, and then cleaned up and vacuumed the floors before leaving. They hauled away the old windows, storms and screens, and old casing. Several days after they left, the only thing I found was a single screw on the ground. One thing I noticed immediately after the installation was done, was that it was noticeably quieter with the new windows. Before, I could hear traffic going by and planes overhead all the time. Now, it was actually quiet in the house! Forget the "deals" you see on TV for window installation. Just make sure you get a quote from Jon and Mark, and you'll have everything you'll need for your window or door project.

Okay, yes, it is an odd name (ask about the history of the company) for a window company. However, you can't go wrong with this team. After a relative had a negative experience with Feldco, and getting estimates from Andersen and Gilkey, Scientific Home Services was a pleasure to deal with. The owner of the company came to do the estimate, with reasonable up-front pricing. Windows arrived within the cited timeframe, and the company was flexible to my schedule. The installation team (John and Jay) showed up promptly at 8 am, quickly got to work, were exceedingly polite, and got 13 windows replaced in one working day. All debris was removed and the installation quality was excellent. Don't succumb to pressure sales or radio advertisements -- go with Scientific Home Services for your window needs.

They did an amazing job, they were respectful of the inside and outside of the building. You would never know the windows weren't the originals, expect for the fact that these actually work and have screens that work as well. The crew put tarps down on the inside and out and cleaned up all the dust and debris.

Jon guided me through many options for my replacement windows, kindly coming out more than once to go over the job. No hard sell. Great advice. Damian's team installed the windows (everything Jon promised). They showed up on time (they were actually outside early), and went over the process with me before starting the work. Extremely kind, courteous and professional in every way, they efficiently and systematically went room by room minimizing mess and cleaning as they went. The installation was smooth and painless and when they were done, Damian gave me a complete overview of the windows features. They took down and replaced blinds and covered floors and furniture. I would highly recommend asking for Damian's team for your installation (can you do that???). Great job. Great product. Great experience! Thanks.

Couldn't have asked for better service from the initial meeting all the way through the installation and follow up. They stock a great product, and Damian and Yuri did a great job on the install. We have an older home, no two windows the same size, lots of rotten wood, etc. and it all looks great. Also, they were prompt and courteous, showed up when they said they would, cleaned up work area, etc.

Working with Scientific was great. Jon came to our house to give us an estimate and was very generous with his time in explaining the different benefits of the windows and how the installation would work. He came back a second time to measure some additional windows and doors, and was punctual both times. Scientific wasn't the cheapest option for the quotes we received and their pricing flexibility was not much. However, Jon was very thorough in explaining why his windows cost more, in terms of quality and value - the different ratings values and measurements that went into it. (We got the basic vinyl windows from Imperial.) Damian was our installer, and again things went smooth. The guys were on time and worked quickly. I was impressed because some of the plaster around our door was crumbing and the standard trim for the door wasn't going to look great - so Damian made a run to Home Depot for a larger piece of trim to cover up the imperfections. Did not ask him to do it and it was a nice touch. The guys did a nice job cleaning up as well. We've had the windows for about a month. They look great and are a real upgrade from what we had previously. Working with Scientific was easy and I was happy with the work - I would recommend them to other

The process from consult to install was smooth and I never worried once that there would be any issues. I felt the price was on par with other companies. Damian Kusek and his partner arrived on time and were very polite and respectful of my home and belongings. They worked hard from beginning to end, and cleaned up after themselves. I could not believe the transformation, not just the inside of the home, but the outside where the window trim meets the siding made my home look new. I will be using them again in the future to do other windows.

FANTASTIC experience! I called Jon on a Thursday and by Saturday he was at our house, understanding how important it was for us to prepare our windows/doors for the upcoming winter, especially with a brand new infant. Jon looked at each one of our windows/doors to give us an assessment of which ones needed attention right away and which ones could wait a bit. We have a ninety-seven year old house and the majority of the windows are old, so it was really nice of Jon to assess our entire house and guide us on which ones to replace first. I liked the fact that he took the time to explain in detail the window and door options available, explaining the latest in window/door insulation technology and really educating us on what would work best for different parts of our house. It was really nice talking to him to the point that although we had scheduled three different providers to give us an estimate, we felt so comfortable with Jon's expertise that we did not feel the need to talk to anyone else. We felt right away that Scientific Home Services was the best based on our meeting with Jon and based on the massive amount of fantastic reviews on Angies List. On Tuesday October 14th the windows were finally ready and they installed them. It takes 4-6 weeks for the windows to be custom made by the manufacturer and when Damian Kusek and his team came to install them, it was a great experience overall! Damian and his team were on time, very thorough and got the job done quickly! I love the fact that they immediately cover all your furniture with plastic before they even start working to ensure it doesn't get dirty and that no dust gets on it. Damian and team where thorough not only installing the windows and doors, but also cleaning them so they looked awesome, explaining to us the child security features on the new windows, taking away the old windows and door, and they even threw out my trash, just to be nice without me even asking! Overall great service from beginning to end! Over the next couple of years when we are ready to replace the next set of windows, we will call them again. I STRONGLY recommend this company. They are A+ QUALITY. Very happy with the service and my family and I feel much warmer in our home with our new double-paned insulated windows and door!

Everything went fine. Jon came out in September to review the existing conditions, measure the window and provide an estimate. He told us the lead time was approximately 6 weeks, and indeed, that's how long it took. I called to arrange installation and was given a date within a week. On the day of installation, the installation crew, led by Damian, showed up right on schedule. Within a few hours, they had carefully taken out the old window, installed the new one, provided insulation, installed new sheet metal caps, and cleaned up after themselves. All parts of the assembly look great. We would definitely hire them again.

While giving the estimate Jon provided a clear explanation of possible options and even had a sample window delivered from out of state. Jason Smith and John Green, the installation team, arrived on time, explained what they would do, checked for possible complications, cleaned the new storm panels, and then did a quality job of installing the windows They are an excellent team and I recommend them highly.

It was great -- the work was done in a timely manner. All billing and payment and details were handled very well by Jon and Mark, with no need for us to wait on responses at all. Only small glitch was that one of the windows was cracked so we had to delay the actual installation, per the company. It delayed us a couple of weeks, but was appreciated. We wouldn't want a cracked window. I wouldn't count this against them at all. Be prepared for at least 1-2 months before actual installation because of ordering. This is standard. We spoke with a larger company, whose representatives were not courteous or professional. Jon was a good representative and not pushy. So far, the windows have been great! Overall, we are very satisfied.

Jon came to our house to give us an estimate and was very professional. There was never any hard sell like you will find from the large window companies. We received 5 quotes overall and decided to go with Scientific because of their professionalism and they install some of the top of the line windows. On the day of the install, Damian and Yuri arrived on time and explained the process. They were very polite and even took their shoes off every time they entered the house. They were here from 8:30am - 5:00pm and worked extremely hard. Once the windows were installed they cleaned everything up and hauled the old windows away. Damian then showed me how to operate the windows and how to clean them. We are very happy with our windows and would definitely recommend Scientific to anyone looking to replace their windows. They also have a lifetime warranty on both the windows and labor.

It went great, they knocked it out. Damien works his butt off and gets things done properly, not to mention handles everything with great customer service.
Description of Work: They replaced our back doors and fixed our front door.

When we bought our new to us house, we knew we needed to replace a lot of windows. We got 4 quotes, and ended up going with Scientific Home. We're glad we did - it was an excellent experience from start to finish. Jon did a great job of explaining our options to us, making good recommendations, and quoting us a very fair price. Damian and Yuri did a very professional installation, and were careful to clean up after themselves. And the windows themselves are great - I searched the brand they use online and found that it was a very good brand, and so far that certainly seems to be the case. My only complaints are that it took a bit longer between when we ordered and when we got our windows installed (but this was because one of our windows was broken in shipping and needed to be replaced), and that the 3 patio doors weren't all keyed the same (but I didn't think to ask about this when we ordered). But these are minor issues, and I wouldn't hesitate to work with them again.
Description of Work: Replaced 14 multi panel windows and 3 patio doors

Thanks for the great review. Jon and I try to make the window buying a painless and sometimes educational experience. By using crews that are long time employees and quality products, we ensure that we provide the best quality products and services for the money. Your review helps support our efforts at Chicago Animal Care & Control as we will donate $20 worth of dog treats to homeless dogs. Please be sure to like us on Facebook so our donation at the end of each quarter. Lastly, I'm glad I was able to find you three lock cylinders that where keyed alike. I never thought of it before. There is always something after 20+ years. If you need anything, please feel free to contact me at 847-752-0370x105 Mark Brottman, President

I have dealt with many contractors and projects involving 4 different homes, but I must say I have never seen anyone being as clean as these guys. Despite some of the windows being very large, not a single wall was scratched nor dented. This is something that always happens and in fact sometimes should even be expected, it's the nature of the jobs. The windows and their screens look wonderful, they were installed on the expected delivery date and the job was performed within the provided time frame and quality. I am very happy with them and will definitely use them again and do recommend them.
Description of Work: Replaced more than 18 windows and awnings.

Our motto 'Treating your home as if it was ours' also applies to 'Treating you as we would like to be treated'. Jon & I respect your time and don't feel it’s respectful to try and sell you products that aren't needed at prices that are unreasonable. We price our jobs correctly the first time and do not offer dramatic price drops like our competition. We know what our competition does and we feel that we can present the same information clearly and precisely in a much shorter no pressure situation. Our installers are all well trained and know what is expected of them and live up to our demands. We appreciate you leaving a review so others can benefit from your experience. If you need anything else, please let me know at 847-752-0370x5. Mark Brottman, President Scientific Home Services

First John came out and gave me a thorough assessment of the situation and what could be done. John spent about two hours with me, walking through our house and advising me on possibilities for several windows we'd like to replace. There is one window that I wanted to replace but which John said was fine. He could have sold me another window but advised me against it. I respect that. For the installation, Jason S. and John G. were right on time. They carefully covered furniture did a great, professional job with the installation. We'll continue to work with Scientific for future window needs.
Description of Work: Replaced two old, boarded up windows with modern, secure, efficient casement windows.
