Which Window Style Fits Your Home?

There’s no single “best” window. There’s the best window for each opening in your house. During your free estimate, we walk room by room and match style to function, so you’re not paying for features you don’t need.

Double-hung

The workhorse for most Des Moines homes. Both sashes tilt in, so you can clean second-story glass without a ladder.

Casement

Crank-out windows that seal tight against the frame when closed. A strong pick for rooms that take the brunt of west winds.

Sliding

Smooth, low-effort operation for wide openings. No sash to lift, which matters over basements, sinks, and counters.

Picture

Fixed glass for maximum light and unobstructed views. Often paired with operable windows on either side.

Bay & bow

Project outward to add light, depth, and a built-in seat or shelf. A curb-appeal upgrade you feel from inside, too.

Awning

Hinged at the top, so you can leave them cracked for fresh air even during a rain shower.

We’ll confirm the specific window lines available for your project during your estimate, with samples you can put your hands on.

Will New Windows Actually Lower My Energy Bills?

Old single-pane and failing double-pane windows leak heat in both directions: out in winter, in during summer. Modern replacement windows attack that loss from three directions, and in Iowa’s climate, that’s where the payback lives.

Low-E glass coatings

reflect heat back where you want it: inside during a −10° cold snap, outside during a 95° July afternoon. Your furnace and AC stop fighting your windows.

Double- and triple-pane glass

puts insulating space between you and the weather. That’s the difference between a chilly window seat in February and one you’ll actually sit in.

Insulated frames and proper sealing

close the gaps where drafts sneak through. A great window installed poorly still leaks, which is why our installation process matters as much as the glass.

The result: steadier room temperatures, a quieter house, and utility bills that stop climbing every season.

What Do New Windows Change Besides the Bills?

Homeowners call us about drafts and energy costs. Six months later, they tell us about everything else.

The traffic noise from the street fades. The furniture near the window stops sun-fading. The condensation and fog between panes is gone, so you can actually see out. Painting and scraping season disappears: modern frames simply need a rinse, not a restoration.

And from the curb, crisp new windows change the whole face of the house. If you’re thinking about selling in the next few years, replacement windows are one of the exterior upgrades buyers notice on the first walk-up.

How Does Window Installation Work?

A window is only as good as its install. Here’s how we make sure yours performs the way the spec sheet promised:

Precise measurement. Every opening gets measured individually. Older Des Moines homes are rarely perfectly square, and your windows are ordered to fit your openings.
Selection. We help you choose styles, glass packages, and frame options that fit your home and budget.
Professional installation. Old units come out, new units go in level, square, and plumb.
Sealing and trim. Insulation, flashing, and finish trim close every gap. This step is where the drafts actually die.
Cleanup. We haul away your old windows and debris. Your home looks lived-in, not worked-on.
Warranty. You get warranty coverage in writing before we leave.

Most projects wrap up faster than homeowners expect. Ask about current scheduling when you book your estimate. Fall installation slots fill quickly ahead of the heating season.

How Much Does Window Replacement Cost in Des Moines?

Honest answer: it depends on your project, and anyone quoting you a number before seeing your home is guessing.

Your price is driven by:

How many windows you’re replacing (whole-home projects price differently than two or three units)
Window style – a bay window is a different project than a double-hung swap
Frame material and glass package – double vs. triple pane, Low-E options, and upgrades

Instead of a guess, you get a free written estimate with real numbers for your actual home. No pressure, no expiring “today-only” pricing games. Just a clear scope you can plan around.

Can I Finance New Windows?

Yes, and the terms are better than most homeowners expect:

0% interest for 6 years
No money down
Free estimates, always

That means you can stop paying for drafty windows through your utility bill and put that money toward windows that pay you back, without draining savings before winter hits.

Why Des Moines Homeowners Choose Wegner

Because we’re still here, and we’ll still be here when your warranty matters.

Wegner Roofing & Solar has been family-owned since 2011. Over 1,000 homeowners have left us five-star reviews, and we’ve earned a spot at #58 on the Top 100, not by being the cheapest bid, but by showing up when we say we will and standing behind the work after the truck leaves.

Being licensed and insured isn’t a badge to us; it’s your protection if anything goes wrong on your property. And because we’re a whole-exterior contractor, your windows get installed by a team that understands how they tie into your siding, trim, and roof, not a crew that only sees one piece of the wall.

What Des Moines Homeowners Are Saying

Where Do You Install Replacement Windows?

Our crews are based in West Des Moines, which puts fast estimate scheduling within reach across the metro.

We work on the century-old two-stories near downtown Des Moines, where original windows have often outlived three furnaces, as well as the 1970-90s builder-grade windows now failing across Urbandale, Clive, and Johnston.

In fast-growing Ankeny, Waukee, and Grimes, we help owners upgrade the base-spec windows that came with newer construction.

And in Altoona and across Polk County, homes on open ground take wind and temperature swings head-on, exactly the conditions tight-sealing replacement windows are built for.

Frequently Asked Questions About Window Replacement

What window styles do you install?

We install double-hung, casement, sliding, picture, bay and bow, and awning windows. During your free estimate, we’ll match styles to each room’s needs and show you the specific window lines available for your project.

Are your windows energy-efficient?

Yes. We install windows with Low-E glass coatings, double- or triple-pane construction, and insulated frames that are built for Iowa’s temperature extremes. Most homeowners notice steadier room temperatures right away and lower heating and cooling bills over the seasons.

How much does window replacement cost?

Cost depends on how many windows you need, the styles you choose, and frame and glass options. Rather than guessing, we provide a free written estimate based on your actual home. Real numbers, no obligation.

How long does window installation take?

Timeline depends on window count and product lead times after ordering. Installation itself typically moves quickly once materials arrive. We’ll give you a clear schedule at your estimate. Installation calendars fill fastest before the heating season.

Can you replace my windows along with siding or roofing work?

Absolutely. That’s our specialty. As a whole-exterior contractor, we coordinate windows, siding, gutters, and roofing in one project, which means one point of contact, coordinated scheduling, and details that tie together properly at every seam.
