Windows in chicago

You are anxiously awaiting the installation of your new roof so that you can move on the replacement windows that have been ordered for your home. After a severe hail storm last spring, you were surprised to know that there had been as much damage done to you windows as to your roof. And while the majority of your windows are on the back of your house, the fact of the matter is that is exactly the side of the house that suffered the most damage.
The plan had been to get the roof finished in the fall, but with the number of people in your neighborhood who also suffered damage, it has not been easy. You were a little slow, your husband wants you to say careful, in on a contractor and you are still waiting to get the roof work done. Now that the cold weather has set in your roof is not going to be installed until the weather warms again. You are anxious, but know that it will be work the wait. Luckily, the company that is doing the work for the replacement windows is flexible and understanding. The fact that your insurance money is tied up with the roofing supplies means that you have to get the roof finished before you move to the windows.
