Is your Oak Park home showing signs of wear with drafty windows, a sagging entry door, or cracked siding? Since 1979, Adkins & Sons has provided expert exterior home services to homeowners throughout southeastern Michigan, offering free estimates and professional solutions backed by our 15-year labor guarantee.
What We Do in Oak Park
Whatever the outside of your Oak Park home needs, we handle it with our own employee crews, not subcontractors, and back the work with the same 15-year labor warranty.
Vinyl, wood, and fiberglass, measured twice and ordered to the exact size of your opening.
Entry, patio, and storm doors, set plumb and weatherstripped so they seal and keep sealing.
Panels that interlock and hang loose enough to move with the weather, in a range of colors and profiles.
The housing we work on
Replacement windowsAll Three Trades
Most homes need more than one thing done to the outside. When all of it goes through one local company, the warranty, the crew, and the phone number stay the same from the first opening to the last panel.
The same 15-year labor warranty covers the windows, the doors, and the siding, so there is no argument later about which contractor owns the problem.
Our own factory-trained people do the work. We do not subcontract one trade out to whoever is free that week.
Certified directly by Pella, which is a manufacturer standard our crews have to keep meeting, not a badge bought once.
The family has been doing this since 1979, and a lead installer is on every job.
We do not publish a price for windows, doors, or siding, because an honest one does not exist before someone has stood in your house. Cost tracks the size of the openings, the materials you pick, and what the crew finds once the old units come out. What we promise is the full number in writing at the estimate, before anything is ordered, with no pressure to sign that day.
Flexible financing is available if you want it. You can also walk our 4,000 sq. ft. showroom in Southgate and operate full-size windows and doors yourself before you commit to anything.

What Sets Us Apart
When the company that sold you the job is not the company that installed it, a warranty call two years later turns into a search for whoever did the work. We do not work that way in Oak Park. Our own employees do the installation, never subcontractors, and the 15-year labor warranty comes from us, so there is one company to call.

Warranty
15
Years Warranty
Every installation is backed by our industry-leading 15-year labor warranty, on top of the manufacturer's coverage on the window itself. If the workmanship ever needs attention, one call and we make it right, at no cost to you.
180 Month
2
Years Warranty
Most window companies stand behind their installation for only a year or two. Once that coverage runs out, drafts, leaks, and seal failures become the homeowner's problem to fix.

734 283 7120Your actual budget depends on project scope, material selection, and house size. We offer free estimates with detailed pricing and provide transparent proposals so you understand exactly what’s covered before making any commitment to your exterior remodeling project.
Our key advantages include: – 45+ years serving southeastern Michigan as a family business with pride in our work – Lead-installer oversight with site visits on every exterior project for quality assurance – Industry-leading 15-year labor guarantee on all installations keeping you covered – 4,000 square-foot showroom for informed product decisions – Skilled team of factory-trained professionals with expertise in all exterior services
Vinyl siding offers excellent value with low maintenance and good weather protection, making it ideal for most Oak Park homes on a budget. For homes that already have brick on the lower portion, vinyl works well on gables, dormers, and second stories. During your consultation with our team, we’ll assess your home’s specific needs, exposure, and budget to recommend the best siding solution for your exterior remodeling needs.
Window and door replacements typically take 1-2 days depending on the job size. Custom products require 5-6 weeks to manufacture before our team can install them. Complete siding projects take 3-7 days for average-sized homes. We schedule work during Michigan’s best weather months (May-October) and coordinate timing to minimize disruption, ensuring you feel comfortable throughout the process.
Watch for these signs: visible drafts or condensation between panes, difficulty opening or closing, rising heating bills, cracked or rotting frames, water damage around windows, or materials over 20 years old. If you notice increased outside noise, feel cold air during winter, or see leaks around frames, replacements will improve comfort and prevent further damage to your interior.
Yes. Every installation includes our industry-leading 15-year labor guarantee. Manufacturer warranties vary by product: Pella offers lifetime guarantees on wood windows (effective February 2017), ProVia provides full life breakage guarantees on vinyl windows, and Andersen backs their products with comprehensive coverage. We also assist with future repairs and adjustments as needed.
Absolutely. Many of Oak Park’s 1940s and 1950s ranches and bungalows require custom sizing and period-appropriate styling. Our expertise includes custom stain mixing to match existing trim, non-standard sizing for unusual openings, and authentic wood-look options in low-maintenance fiberglass. Our skilled team has extensive experience with Oak Park’s postwar housing stock, ensuring proper fit and character preservation while providing modern weather protection.
Yes. The U.S. Oak Park customers typically see noticeable comfort improvements and lower utility bills within the first winter season after installation, making it a reliable long-term solution.
Replacing both simultaneously offers several advantages: lower overall labor costs, proper moisture barrier installation, coordinated aesthetics for enhanced curb appeal, and single project disruption. Window installation requires accessing areas behind siding, so completing both projects together prevents damage to new siding and eliminates the need for future repairs. Additionally, the finished result delivers a cohesive look that boosts your home’s value.
Big box retailers subcontract installations to third-party crews with inconsistent quality and accountability. Adkins & Sons employs dedicated, factory-trained installation teams who work exclusively for our company. Our lead installer personally visits every job site, we offer a 15-year labor guarantee, and we’ve been serving Oak Park and surrounding communities for 45+ years as a family business. Communication stays direct from start to finish.
