Des Moines Window Pros covers the same range of work in Altoona that we do in Des Moines — nothing is carved out because the address is a few miles up the road:

• Fiberglass and Composite Window Frames — Fiberglass earns its premium in a narrow set of cases, and we would rather name those cases than sell the material by default. Pultruded frames cost meaningfully more than vinyl per opening, so the only question worth asking is whether your particular openings repay the difference.
• Aluminum-Clad Wood Windows and Sash Restoration — This city has a lot of houses worth keeping original sash in. The 2019-2023 American Community Survey puts about 27,000 of Des Moines' roughly 97,000 housing units at 1939 or earlier, and much of that glass is old-growth wood that outlasts what replaced it.
• Thermally Broken Aluminum Windows — We talk homeowners out of residential aluminum more often than we sell it. In a climate zone where the code baseline for glass is a U-factor of 0.32, a bare aluminum frame is a conductor bolted through the wall, and the sill is where you will see the evidence.
• Double-Hung and Single-Hung Windows — The double-hung is the most common window in this city and by far the most over-replaced. Half the calls we take about them concern a sash that drops when you let go of it, and that symptom points at the balance rather than at the window around it.
• Casement and Awning Windows — On a casement the frame usually outlives the hardware by twenty years, so the honest first question is whether you need a window or a crank. We stock operators, hinge arms, keepers and multipoint locks, and we will fit them rather than sell you a unit.
• Horizontal Slider Windows — A horizontal slider is the least airtight operating style you can buy and by some distance the easiest one to keep running. Both of those facts should shape what you spend on it, and neither of them means the slider in your wall has to go this year.

Altoona sits in Polk County with a population of roughly 19,565 at the 2020 census, close enough to Des Moines that crews move between the two constantly. Local landmarks and corridors residents know well include the Adventureland amusement park, Prairie Meadows.

Local knowledge is not a marketing line here. Altoona properties share soil, weather, permit rules and construction eras with the rest of Polk County, and a window contractor who works the area weekly already knows what fails locally and what holds up. That is the difference between a bid and an accurate bid.
