LDS has been a lifesaver for our company. We had been working with a different company for many years who were horrible and not doing their job. I found LDS online, and they have now become our main window repair/replacement company. Not only have they been great to work with, they do amazing work and are QUICK in getting the job done. They definitely know their windows. I manage 4 different apartment properties and have to say, finally having a reliable window company has been great! Ronnie and Dylan are amazing to work with and have made myself, the owners and many tenants very happy. These are the guys you want to go to!

Most of the windows in our new home needed repair. From the initial quote through the several full days of work, Ronnie and team were phenomenal to work with. They communicated the overall progress of the job and the issues with each of the windows they were repairing. They are passionate and true experts in their trade. My family can now see through our windows and safely open them. Thank you Ronnie for all your professionalism, enthusiasm, and expertise in repairing our windows. We will be recommending you to others with complete confidence that their window issues will be resolved!

Really pleased with Ronnie and the whole team. Having windows about 20 years old, I noticed a lot of drafts and windows not opening or staying open. I was almost ready to go down the path of getting new windows. I found fixawindow and really pleased with the wellness and repair of broken shoes, springs, etc. My windows are now like new and will last another 20 years. Highly recommend this company and worth a call before considering new window replacement!

I highly recommend LDS Renovations for any window/door repair issues. They came the day after I called them and provided a quote later the same day. They came out a few days later to complete the work. Ive been a homeowner for 25 years and have never dealt with tradespeople who were more responsive or efficient. They really know their stuff. They fix what needs to be fixed and dont try to upsell you on stuff that doesnt need to be fixed. They repaired several windows, fixed a drafty door, and rehung a heavy steel door that wasnt opening/closing correctly. I couldnt be happier with their work.

This customer's property had oversize aluminum windows that were left shut for years as the property changed hands between multiple owners. The windows were not operating smoothly and had a draft issue. This customer received a quote to replace all the hardware in their windows for triple the cost to have them maintained with Window Wellness Service. With a little TLC and periodic use, most window hardware can last for years. Click here to schedule your Window Wellness Service appointment today

Ronnie and LDS were very prompt and responsive to my concerns of a drafty room. After a complete review and consultation of our windows Ronnie provided us with a quote, and spent additional time explaining troubleshooting steps to try and fix the draft problems before we made an investment in the windows. I am happy to report that the problem is improved after implementing Ronnie's suggestions. It is not typical that a contractor isn't solely focused on the bottom line. Ronnie and LDS have proven to be a company I can trust.

Thank you for the 5 star review! We hope to be your first choice for your window repair needs.This customer needed adjustments of the hardware in his casement windows to get them to open and close properly. We didn't need to install replacement hardware to get these windows in good working condition, just some TLC.

Tell us more: I am the Property Manager of a high- rise condominium in Chicago built in the 1950's with original single pane windows. The windows themselves are obsolete as are many of the parts. Unlike some window repair companies that make promises they cannot deliver on; LDS took the time to really analyze the various components and to develop a creative solution that they thought would work. I am so grateful that the repair was successful and will call upon them first as future needs arise. They are true professionals!

Happy to be of service. Older windows often have hardware that goes out of production when the manufacturer goes out of business or stops supporting a particular vintage. This requires retrofit solutions to salvage what would otherwise be a perfectly acceptable window with years of functionality left. We're here when you need us!

We called on LDS Renovations, Inc. for the first time in October of 2012 and then again in May 2019 and now a third time in August 2022. That should tell you that we appreciate their service and are happy with the results of the work they have done. Their customer service is professional, and communication is second to none. Don't hesitate to choose them for your window repair needs.

As a first-time home owner, I wasn't sure what to expect. And boy was I pleasantly surprised! This is a class-act, family-run, small business. Everyone in the organization is wonderful to work with. Dylan the office manager, is prompt and professional. And Ronnie, Shane and crew are incredibly knowledgable, efficient and big-hearted. And, of course, the window repair service was top-notch. I got very lucky finding this business and will remain loyal to them going forward. I recommend you do the same.

Absolutely amazing service. I called many places to find someone to repair a broken casement window crank. Only these guys had a kind, helpful and immediate concern. Family business, and both the office & the technicians were fantastic. True window experts, and they charged half of what a handyman quoted me for the same repair. So relieved that I didn't need to custom order a new window, which was what I had expected. THANK YOU for the quick, friendly, reliable and professional care

Amazing service and expertise! If you want to save vintage windows in an older house, look to LDS Renovations for repair and routine maintenance. Ronnie and his team know everything there is to know about windows. I contacted them to replace glass that had cracked in a casement window and to also repair the operator crank. Dylan, the office manager, answered all my questions in great detail to make sure I was fully informed before scheduling Ronnie's visit to inspect and estimate. We received an estimate promptly and work was scheduled soon thereafter. Ronnie and the LDS team performed the repair perfectly, then tuned up all of our double-hung windows to make them work like new. I'm very pleased to have found this company. It's becoming very hard to find prople this professional, knowledgable, and driven to do top-notch repair work. Thanks LDS!

My wife and I were very satisfied with our experience in working with LDS Renovations. They were quick to contact us following our submission for a free assessment and were able to come by our condo unit the next day to check out the extent of the repairs. The works who came by were extremely kind and respectful to my wife and cats (I was not home on either of their visits). A few hours later, I received an email with a detailed quote of the work and parts needed for the job. I called their office back and scheduled a date for the repairs. The repairs were done in a timely fashion and now all of our windows are in good working condition. I didn't get any other quotes from other repair companies, so I cannot speak to how competitive their pricing is, however, I felt the cost was reasonable and I would definitely recommend their services to others

Thank you for the kind words Molly! This property had metal windows that had never been serviced, which resulted in the hardware in one window needing to be replaced. We did Wellness Service on all of the windows in addition to reglazing one of the windows. None of Molly's windows needed to be completely replaced and they should last a long time with proper maintenance.

Thank goodness I found and hired LDS to repair my severely rotted casement windows. These folks did an excellent job repairing the rotted portions and rebuilding the frame. Everything about them was professional. They are extremely knowledgeable. The owner, Ronnie, led the job - he and his very capable crew are perfectionists that required everything be done correctly and fit together properly. Their repair saved me thousands of dollars on replacement. I will not hesitate to hire them again.

Ronnie was recommended to me by a local windows company. I highly recommend him for your door needs... He was very honest and cared about helping.. I needed a new sliding door handle. He was quick to respond and after sending him pictures, he called me back and felt it was a DIY project.. Still, Ronnie guided me through the process of the replacement and what to look for. He introduced me to a vendor where I was able to find the parts that I needed. The installation was easy and I saved hundreds of dollars. Thank You Ronnie!!

SHORT VERSION
Outstanding! Competitive & detailed quote for major window repairs, excellent communication, swift scheduling, timely work, high quality repairs. Positive all around. I know definitively who I'll call next time I need window repairs.
LONG VERSION
After decades of neglect from the previous owner, and a few years of neglect from us, our 31 yo casement windows were in terrible shape (10 banks of 2). Major rotting of wood sills, sashes, brick moulding, and more.
Ronnie & crew in the field, along with Dylan in the office, provided a clear, detailed, competitive quote based on what they could see during the initial inspection. Given the windows' particularly poor condition, they appropriately warned me they might uncover additional repairs while taking everything apart for the quoted repairs. I knew this to be the case from past experience, but still appreciated they called it out explicitly.
Ronnie & crew were on-time, respectful, communicative & informative, and ensured I knew the status of the work as it progresssed. During the repairs, Ronnie identified some hidden issues -- though not entirely unexpected (see aforementioned warning) -- which required substantially more work.
In each case, Ronnie showed me the newly uncovered issue, explained why the work needed (or did not need) to be done, and confirmed how I wanted to proceed. Most of the additional repairs clearly were necessary to support and complete the originally quoted repairs, so I agreed. In an instance or two, he noted an additional repair was non-critical, and I passed -- no pressure, no problem.
We still have 2 banks of 2 windows each, with sashes too far gone to repair, so Ronnie and team are working with me to identify options for sash replacement. Hopefully, since the original model is discontinued and not available, we can use a newer model from the manufacturer (if they fit), But if not, Ronnie is actively working with me on contingency options.
I wish all my home repair experiences were this positive.
I said it above, and it bears repeating: outstanding! I know definitively who I'll call next time I need window repairs.

Thank you for the glowing review Bryan! This was one of the most extensive rot repairs we have done to save wood windows and we are glad you are happy with the all around service. This customer was quoted a fortune to replace all his rotted windows and we were able to save many of them at a fraction of the cost with quality and functional results.
Update 6/2/2021:
We ended up rebuilding the remaining windows and were able to save all of his sashes when it was determined that the replacement sashes were not a viable option.
