We have used All Star to replace all the windows in our old house. Most recently they replace our front windows. The pandemic supply chain didn't make it easy but the All Star team kept us up to date and made the extra effort to get the windows installed before a family wedding. From order to installation - they did a great job. Service: Window installation

Needed 7 windows updated/replaced. I called three other window installers and their prices were 2x the amount if not 3x the amount of all star products. The customer service and the quick response was impressive. They were very candid and transparent with the pros and cons and various types of windows. When the windows were installed, I was out of town and they had a quick response when I needed them to come back & answer questions regarding the installation/cleaning of the windows. Very friendly, very professional. I highly recommend them!

They replaced nine big windows recently. Salesperson and co-owner, Max, was professional and gives you great options. Got the windows installed on time and they look great. We had used them about 5 years back for replacement of three other windows. We were happy with those windows and decided to go with them again. Service: Window installation

This was a very significant project that we were nervous about. The All Star team did a great job of walking us through the whole process and helping us make decisions at every step. Once the job started, the crew was on time and did everything with a focus on making it right. Couldn't be happier at how great the house looks. Would highly recommend All Star, Dave and the team really understand what it's like for homeowners to make a significant investment and they took good care of us

Upon the recommendation I found in my neighborhood Facebook group, I called All Star Products for new windows. Max Jacobsen, the president, arrived at my house on time and proceeded to not sell me windows. That's correct. He looked at the three I was considering replacing and showed me with precision and patience exactly what was wrong and how I could operate them without trouble. He must have been here for around 40 minutes (and didn't make a dime!). Naturally, he will be the first person I call (and probably the last) when I do need to replace my windows. Essentially, he saved me a few thousand dollars. He's a rare gem. I highly recommend.

Max and his team are #1! We were in the market to replace our old windows and saw Max's reviews and we were impressed. When I called to speak to Max he was very genuine and upfront with all the information he provided and honestly he had the best prices in the North Shore. As a Realtor in Northbrook it is always great to have access to a company / CEO who cares about his clients. Max delivered exceptional service and great pricing.
His installation was flawless and the people who did the job were very respectful. They wore masks and cleaned up very nicely. I highly recommend Max and all Star for your homes window and sliding glass door replacements. I even got to shoot some Billiards with Max wow. Besides being a great window businessman he is also a great pool player. A+ Thanks Sam Rosengarten Coldwell Banker Northbrook / Home owner
