About Des Moines Window Pros: Licensed Window Pros in IA
Des Moines Window Pros works on windows, doors and glass across Polk, Dallas, Warren and Story counties, on houses that run from the pre-war blocks of Sherman Hill and the Beaverdale brick Tudors out to subdivisions finished last spring. Residential and commercial, new units and repairs, and a good deal of work that is honestly neither: balances, operators, sealed units, screens and storm panels.
The thing that makes us different is the order we recommend. In a heating climate the cheap work outperforms the expensive work per dollar spent, so we price air sealing and insulation into the conversation even though we do not sell either of them, and we put the smallest honest job at the top of the estimate rather than buried at the bottom of page two.
Do not hire us if you want a same-day whole-house number over the phone, or if you have already decided on nineteen new windows and want somebody to agree with you. If two of those nineteen have failed seals and the rest are sound, that is what our estimate will say, and it will be a much smaller number than you were expecting.
If you have a window project in Des Moines, the fastest way to get a real number is a free on-site estimate. See every Des Moines service we handle, check whether we cover West Des Moines, IA and the rest of Greater Des Moines, or go back to the Des Moines Window Pros homepage to start. You can also reach us directly on (844) 511-2320.
Credentials
- License: Registered as a construction contractor with the State of Iowa under Iowa Code chapter 91C, which applies to anyone earning 2,000 dollars a year or more from construction work in Iowa. Iowa registers contractors rather than licensing glaziers as a separate trade, so ask any bidder for the registration number and check it.
- Insurance: General liability and workers compensation carried on every crew, with certificates issued directly by the carrier to you rather than forwarded by us.
- Association: Installations follow ASTM E2112 standard practice for the installation of windows, doors and skylights, and work on housing painted before 1978 is carried out under EPA Lead-Safe Certified renovation practices.
- Warranty: Written workmanship warranty on the installation itself, held separately from whatever the manufacturer warrants on the product, and it covers the flashing and air sealing detail as well as the unit.
How Des Moines Window Pros works
How a job with Des Moines Window Pros runs, start to finish
Site visit first, always. We measure, look at the real condition of the work area, and ask what you are actually trying to solve — then you get an itemized free estimate in writing with materials, scope and a realistic date on it.
Once the work starts, the same crew stays on the job until it is done. We protect the surrounding area, clean up daily, and tell you the moment something under the surface changes the plan, because the alternative is a surprise invoice and nobody wants that conversation. Written workmanship warranty on the installation itself, held separately from whatever the manufacturer warrants on the product, and it covers the flashing and air sealing detail as well as the unit. backs the finished work.
What we will not do
We do not quote a window job over the phone, take deposits before a written scope exists, or bid work we are not set up to do properly. If your project needs a different trade, we say so and point you at someone who does it well. Losing a job is cheaper than doing one badly in Des Moines.

What Des Moines Customers Say
I called for a quote on eleven windows and got an estimate for three, plus a page explaining why the attic was the better place for the rest of the money. They replaced two failed sealed units and one rotted sash and left. The upstairs is noticeably warmer and I spent less than a quarter of what the first company quoted.
Our casements would not close properly and two companies told us the windows were shot. These guys replaced the operators, the hinge tracks and the weatherstrip on six units in one morning. They also showed me the corner welds and explained why the frames were still fine. No pressure to buy anything else.
We were finishing the basement and needed an egress window. They walked me through the net clear opening numbers before quoting, sized the well properly with a drain, and coordinated with the inspector. The measurements were exactly what they said they would be, and it passed the first time.
Foggy glass in four windows and I assumed I was buying four windows. They swapped the insulated units in the existing sash instead, with a better spacer than the originals had. Took an afternoon, cost a fraction of the quotes I had, and the trim and paint were never touched.
