Aluminum-Clad Wood Window Restoration in
Lake in the Hills, IL.

In Lake in the Hills, IL, aluminum-clad wood window restoration starts the same way every RADIO engagement does — with the system, not the sales pitch. Lake in the Hills roughly quadrupled in the 1990s after annexations west of Randall Road — one of the fastest-growing Chicago suburbs of the decade — so most of its move-up homes date from the early 1990s into the early 2000s. RADIO identifies which window system a Lake in the Hills home actually carries and documents visible conditions before any restoration path is set. As part of RADIO's Chicagoland service, we approach aluminum-clad wood window restoration here by first identifying what's installed and documenting visible conditions, then matching the correct path to the findings.
