Multifamily stock in the Twin Cities
Turnover teams often manage side-by-side duplexes and small walk-up courts on the same campus — treat each opening independently.
- Double bungalows and side-by-side duplexes — paired openings, often similar but not identical widths
- Fourplexes and small walk-up courts from the 1920s–1940s
- Cold-climate sash replacements mixed with original double-hungs
- Rear patio sliders on lower units — vertical track mount
- White vinyl mini standard on bedroom and bath turns

Window Field Guide · Chicago Flats & Courtyard Buildings
Chicago flat and courtyard windows: measure front, gangway, and court separately
Chicago's rental stock is built around flat-type buildings — two-, three-, four-, and six-flats stacked over a shared stair hall, plus larger courtyard apartments shaped by the 1902 Tenement House Ordinance. Wood double-hungs dominate; greystone and brick facades hide uneven jambs and shallow returns. Landlords reorder 1" vinyl mini more than any other line. This guide covers mounting by material for that building type.

Patio sliders and sliding glass doors: pick product, size, and stack side first
A patio slider is a product problem before it is a city problem — the same 72" × 80" rear door appears on Houston production homes, DFW ranch plans, Florida lanais, garden apartments, and Phoenix block/stucco stock. Buyers search by opening size (68×84, 78×84, 72×80, 94" wide) and by product type (vertical vs roller vs faux wood panels). This guide maps the decision tree: measure glass, pick vertical or roller or stacked faux, choose stack side, then pick inside vs face mount on the header.
