Separate same-size replacements from altered openings
Waukegan’s window and door guidance exempts same-size replacements from permits and requires a permit when the size changes. Describe any other renovation work when confirming the scope with the City. Keep replacement units and changed openings separately labelled in the quote so the installer and product team can review the right dimensions and installation approach for each.
Waukegan window and door permit guidanceKeep the proposal and drawings consistent
For size changes, the City asks for the signed proposal or contract, the original opening’s size, material and location, and scaled drawings of the proposed changes and header dimensions. Have your project professional prepare the required design. If it changes during review, update the affected product references before final measurements and manufacturing approval.
Prepare drawings and a product scheduleHave the current frame and surround assessed
Include photos of the frame, interior trim, exterior surround and adjacent surfaces. Ask the installer to identify deterioration and agree on the replacement method. Keep any repair or finishing allowance visible in the quote. Approximate measurements help compare options, but final manufacturing dimensions should follow the installer’s assessment of the actual opening.
Prepare measurements for installer reviewCompare complete products for the way you use the rooms
Record which sections open, which remain fixed, and your glass privacy and color preferences. Compare alternatives with consistent dimensions and quantities, using complete-window performance information. Include the full entry assembly with sidelites and transom, or the panel layout of a sliding patio door. Send any required glazing or clear-opening specifications with the request.
Compare window operation and configurationsAssign delivery, installation and inspection responsibilities
Ask the quote to identify products, delivery, removal, repairs, sealing and finishing where included. Confirm the address and access arrangements. For a supply-only order, agree who receives and checks the products and who carries out the site work. Where a permit is required, establish who manages the application and inspections alongside the installation schedule.

Window replacement questions in Waukegan
Do same-size window and door replacements need a Waukegan permit?
The City’s window and door page lists same-size replacements as not requiring a permit. Size changes require one. Confirm any associated structural or broader renovation work separately with the City.
What information should accompany a changed-opening project?
Keep the original opening details, proposed dimensions and your project professional’s drawings with the quote. Waukegan’s application guidance also requests the signed proposal or contract and contractor registration.
What happens if the approved opening design changes?
Identify the affected opening numbers and have the product sizes and specifications reviewed again before manufacturing approval. Make sure the installer and product team use the same accepted plan revision.
Can I request a supply-only window and door quote?
Yes. Include both the window list and complete door assemblies. Have your installer approve final dimensions and agree on receiving, checking the products and completing the surrounding work.
