Distinguish unchanged openings from framing changes
Lombard’s residential window handout includes insert and pocket units within its replacement-permit requirement. It describes an Instant Permit route when the framed opening size stays unchanged, while framing changes need review. The handout covers one- and two-family homes and townhouses. Confirm the building type and complete proposal with the Village before choosing the application route.
Lombard residential window replacement guidanceHave the retained frame assessed before choosing an insert
Ask the installer to inspect the existing frame, sill and surrounding finishes and explain what will remain. Compare the proposed replacement method with the condition of the actual opening. Where a room needs a particular clear opening or safety glazing, have that requirement reviewed before selecting the unit. An insert option should follow the site assessment, not substitute for it.
Send your Lombard opening photosKeep performance information for the final inspection
The Village’s handout calls for a final inspection and visible NFRC labels on the windows. It distinguishes residential performance requirements from those for commercial and multi-family buildings. Provide your project specification with the quote request and have the complete proposed configuration reviewed. Agree who preserves the required labels and coordinates the inspection.
Compare complete-window performance informationCompare the product options at consistent dimensions
Number each opening by room and identify fixed and operating sections. Compare glass packages, finishes and operating styles using the same quantities and agreed dimensions. Ask the quote to identify optional choices separately. If the selected operation or project design changes, have the installer and product team review the revision before approving manufacturing sizes.
Compare window layouts and operationReview door work as a complete assembly
Include the entry frame, sidelites, transom, threshold and swing, or the panel arrangement of a sliding patio door. Confirm the requirements for door work and any surrounding alteration as part of the full project. Ask the quote to separate products and delivery from removal, repairs, sealing and finishing, including the responsibilities for any supply-only order.

Window replacement questions in Lombard
Does an insert window avoid Lombard’s permit requirement?
No. The Village’s residential handout expressly includes insert and pocket replacement windows. Confirm the complete scope and the appropriate route for the actual building and proposed work.
What changes when the framed opening changes?
The handout distinguishes unchanged framed openings from framing changes, which require review. Keep any accepted design and the product schedule aligned before final manufacturing dimensions are approved.
Should window labels remain available for inspection?
Yes. Follow the Village’s instructions to keep NFRC labels visible for the final inspection. Have the selected configuration checked against the requirements for the actual building type.
Can I order supply only for my Lombard contractor?
Yes. Your contractor can coordinate a supply-only order. Have the installer assess retained frames, approve sizes and specify who receives the products and completes repairs, sealing and finish work.
