Home » Common Questions About Custom Window Design and Installation

The team at Rusco has served clients throughout the Chicagoland area for more than 81 years. In that time, we have been asked many questions from customers about our specialty, custom window design and installation. We love helping clients sort through their options and know that excellent communication is the best way to help homeowners achieve their goals. Here are just a few of the most common questions we receive about custom window design and installation, in the hopes it will help you begin your project with Rusco.

Why are custom windows different than standard options?
At Rusco, we offer standard options for windows as well as customization. While one option is not necessarily better than the other, we find that homeowners seeking a specific look or addition often find themselves purchasing a custom window. When you choose to invest in custom windows, you give yourself the opportunity to dictate the dimensions and shape of your new window.

What if I just need one window and not an entire set for my home?
We are ready to help you with all your window needs, whether you are outfitting your entire home or just looking for a single window. Sometimes, you just need one custom window to make a big difference in your home.

Aren’t custom windows much more expensive?
When you work with Rusco, we pay close attention to your preferences, style, and your budget. Together, we can work on meeting your needs without busting your budget, even if you choose to have custom windows.

Is installation a major inconvenience?
No! We know you are busy and having your home in disarray can only increase your daily stress. Rusco only works with the best professional window installation teams in the area. These professionals work efficiently and are always friendly and prompt. They work to seamlessly install your new windows quickly before leaving your home clean. You just need to come home and enjoy your new additions!

How can I get started?
Stop by our showroom or give us a call! Some customers come to us with very specific needs while others aren’t sure where to start. In any case, our design experts are ready to help guide you through the process from selection to installation.
