Drafty windows letting Oak Park’s cold winters drive up your heating bills? Rising energy costs and cold spots near your frames signal it’s time for replacement windows. Since 1979, Adkins & Sons has helped Oak Park homeowners protect their homes with quality windows backed by our 15-year labor guarantee.
Choose a Style
A window's style is how it opens, and that decides how much air you get, how easy it is to clean, and what the room looks like from inside. We install all six, in any material, backed by the same 15-year labor warranty.
Two sashes that slide up and down in the same frame. Both tilt inward, so you can wash the outside of a second-floor window standing in your own hallway. The most common window on Michigan homes, and the safest bet when you want the house to look the way it always has.
Hinged at the side and cranked open like a door. Because the whole sash swings clear, you get the full opening for air, and the seal presses tighter the harder the wind blows. Good over a kitchen sink or anywhere reaching a sash is awkward.
Hinged at the top so the bottom swings outward. The open sash acts as its own little roof, which means you can leave it cracked through a spring rain. Often set high on a wall or paired underneath a picture window.
One sash glides sideways past the other. No crank, no lifting, and nothing sticks out into the room or the yard. A practical choice for wide openings and for basements, hallways, and rooms where furniture sits against the wall.
Fixed glass that does not open. With no moving parts there is nothing to leak air, so a picture window is the most efficient shape we install, and the biggest view. Usually flanked by casements or double-hungs when you still want ventilation.
Several windows joined at an angle so the unit projects past the wall. It adds a shelf of usable space inside, pulls light in from three directions, and changes the front of the house more than any other single upgrade.
Compare Materials
Three materials, one installer. Every window is measured, installed, and warrantied the same way; the right choice comes down to budget, look, and how much upkeep you want to sign up for.
We do not publish a price for windows, doors, or siding, because an honest one does not exist before someone has stood in your house.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.

Ask for Josh by name: Josh comes out for the free in-home estimate, measures the openings, walks you through the material options, and hands you the full price in writing before anything is ordered. If a question comes up mid-job, Josh is the person to call, and the phone rings in our Southgate office rather than a national call center.
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.

Vinyl windows offer strong value with low maintenance and good energy performance for most Oak Park homes. Fiberglass windows provide superior durability for extreme weather exposure and larger window sizes. Both resist Michigan’s freeze-thaw cycles well. We help you find the right fit based on your home’s architecture, budget, and performance needs during your free consultation.
Custom window orders typically arrive in five to six weeks from manufacturers. Once products arrive, our factory-trained installers complete most projects within one to three days depending on the number of windows. We schedule installation shortly after delivery. Weather rarely delays our work since we install one window at a time.
Replace your windows if you notice condensation between panes, drafts near frames, difficulty opening or closing, or visible damage. Windows over 20 years old typically need replacement even if they appear functional. Rising energy bills often point to seal failure. Sometimes a simple Oak Park window repair on screens or hardware will fix the issue, and we’ll tell you honestly which path saves you money.
Yes. We back all installation work with a 15-year labor guarantee. Manufacturer product warranties are fully honored and supported by Adkins & Sons. Pella wood windows include lifetime guarantees, while ProVia vinyl windows feature full life breakage protection. Our team remains available for warranty service and any questions about your windows’ performance.
Yes. Modern installation materials and techniques make winter window replacement workable in Oak Park. Our experienced installers work one window at a time to minimize cold air exposure. Caulking, tapes, and insulating foams remain effective in cold temperatures. Winter installation offers scheduling advantages with faster quotes and more availability, plus you’ll see immediate energy savings.
Many Oak Park homes were built in the 1940s and 1950s, with non-standard sizes and original trim worth preserving. Our experts handle custom sizing, careful removal, and trim work that respects the character of your older home. We can also handle Oak Park window repair on existing units if full replacement isn’t right for you yet.
According to the U.S.
The best windows depend on your home’s architecture, budget, and priorities. Brick ranches near 10 Mile often look great with vinyl or fiberglass that mirrors a wood profile. Bungalows with original trim near Coolidge sometimes benefit from real wood windows. We evaluate your situation during consultation, weighing energy goals, maintenance preferences, and how you want your home to look.
