We needed new windows, sliding glass patio door, and a new front entry door assembly for our condo. When we got estimates from several window, door, and renovation companies it was difficult to compare apples with apples. Despite the fact that our condo association spells out specific guidelines and requirements for contractors in doing this type of renovation here at *************** Shores, most of the contractors wanted to do it the way that they have grown accustomed to. We wanted to make sure that we chose a company that was going to follow the specs and condo ***** requirements and was going to comply with all codes prescribed by the **************************. We chose to go with Olson *********************************************** in Barrington. *************************, sales associate for Olson Windows helped us in choosing the right windows, door options, and style choices that suited our needs and met all of the specifications for the authorities having jurisdiction. With all of the cooler and wet weather we had this spring we have already noticed a significant improvement in maintaining a steady temperature without having our heat pump having to work overtime. And with these extreme summer temperatures right now our cost savings are already apparent. Our window and door investment choices are paying off.While our quote for this improvement was more than some of the other quotes we received we feel that our choice of Olson Windows was the right one. Their adherence to building code regulations as well as their complete follow-thru with delivering and installing a quality window and door make them our number one choice for a dependable and satisfying renovation.

Have done business with Olson on two different homes; both window replacement/installation. Excellent experiences both times. Very professional in their assessment, recommendation and overall installation process. No surprises, and the project coordination throughout was timely, responsive and very helpful with the entire process.

Olson windows was a wonderful company to work with. It started with Tony meeting us and giving us a quote. He followed up but no pressure to go with them. He waited for us to decide and followed through the entire way. The workers were also excellent. Came on time every day and completed their work efficiently. I appreciated their professionalism and minimal stress we had to go through. I will definitely recommend them to anyone.

We had single pane windows were getting tired of trying to patch up the air leaks with weather stripping so we decided to give Olson windows a call. Our salesperson *************************** showed us simple practical options and used no high pressure tactics which made us extremely comfortable. Ultimately we agreed that his recommendations made the most sense and we signed up to get our windows replaced. The pricing was very reasonable and fit within our budget. We placed our order with Olson windows and when our order was ready, a nice team came out to do the installation. The weather can really affect the schedule, so keep that in mind as it needs to be factored into your scheduling. Olson did a great job with their installers to make sure the project completed smoothly. We were very pleased with the outcome and after doing a quick infrared thermometer check, we immediately saw a difference of ***** degrees between the old and the new windows. Windows that are leaky or not well insulated very quickly lose their thermal protection for your home as their ability to keep the cold out degrades real fast compared to newer well installed and well-designed windows. We put the windows to the test this winter and were very pleased to see our heater usage go down despite some very cold days. We also previously had ice building up on the inside of the windows on cold days, and we are so pleased that this is not happening anymore.We saved up for a few months and decided to have Olson windows replace our patio doors as well. The installers were awesome and installed everything in a day and took time to make sure everything was done right. We are very pleased with the results!

We used Olson for our siding and gutters and they did a great job, we really loved the overall look of how it turned out. Had a few hiccups but I have to say at the end of the day, Tony was amazing and took care of the issues. We really appreciate his customer service.

Ivan was my sales guy and he was the best! Great installers too! Very friendly even with my 3 little kids watching their every move. It turned out clean for the front of the house and I will definitely be having them back to finish the last few windows in the house.

Besides the supply chain issues that everyone is dealing with I had a fantastic experience with Olson. Most affordable pricing around and got the job done in under 6 hours. My house is warmer and much nicer to look at now. I had 2 very hard working guys get the job done in the freezing cold. I felt terrible but cant thank them enough for pushing through the cold.

We’ve had nearly all of our windows replaced with Olson. We are now looking to replace our front door as well as a slider. Scott takes careful measurements and walks you through each step. The process is easy. Can’t wait to to see the finished product.

Tony is an excellent salesperson. Very knowledgeable, transparent, and reliable. Windows installation crew doing the work: timely, professional, skilled, and clean. Could not ask for anything better than the job performed in a challenging older home environment.

Excellent customer service in what is a very tough business. Out of 4 bids only Olsen provided itemized breakdown of cost and specs. Very transparent giving their best quote upfront for less haggling. Competitive on Pella, even beating Pella’s company store. Also agreed to extended payment terms due to supply chain delays. Ivan is a knowledgeable, experienced professional and was responsive throughout the process!

After doing research about window companies I started to think that all the players were bad. Tons of reviews about poor service, poor support and a hard sales pitch. Olson was the only one that didn’t have those bad reviews so I went that way. I’m so happy I did! Everything went exactly how they said it would. And the installation team was super competent and super polite. Best of all there was NO hard sales pitch! We did half the windows in our house in the first round and I most assuredly will be working with Olson to complete the project and do the rest of the windows in a few months.

Olson installers and the Salesman, Scott, were a pleasure to work with throughout the process. We had all windows/doors replaced. They were professional and got the job done without hiccups.
