About Cedar Rapids Window Replacement: Licensed Window Pros in IA
Cedar Rapids Window Replacement is a window, door and glass contractor working across Linn County and into Johnson, Benton, Jones and Cedar counties. Residential and commercial, from a single fogged pane in a bungalow to a full storefront reglaze downtown. We are registered with the Iowa Division of Labor under Iowa Code chapter 91C, which every contractor earning $2,000 or more a year from construction work in Iowa is required to be.
Registration is not a competency licence and we will not pretend it is one. Iowa does not license general contractors, it registers them, which is exactly why the years after August 2020 saw so much work here done by firms that arrived, invoiced and left. Ask us for our registration number and check it. Ask anybody else quoting you for theirs, and check that too.
When not to hire us: if your existing sash are sound, square and older than the vinyl that replaced most of this city's windows, you probably do not need us to sell you anything. Reglazing, new weatherstrip and a good interior storm panel will get you most of the way for a fraction of the price, and we will say so on the phone before we drive out.
If you have a window project in Cedar Rapids, the fastest way to get a real number is a free on-site estimate.

Credentials
- License: Registered with the Iowa Division of Labor under Iowa Code chapter 91C, which is required of every person or business earning $2,000 or more a year from construction work in Iowa. Iowa registers contractors rather than licensing them, so ask for the number and verify it.
- Insurance: General liability and Iowa workers compensation carried on every crew, with certificates issued direct from the carrier rather than forwarded by us.
- Association: Installations follow ASTM E2112 standard practice for the installation of windows and doors, and units are specified against AAMA/WDMA/CSA 101/I.S.2/A440 performance class and grade for the opening they go into.
- Warranty: Written workmanship warranty on the installation itself, held by a business that is registered in Iowa and still working here, which is the only kind of warranty that can actually be called on.

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.

Why Cedar Rapids Chooses Cedar Rapids Window Replacement
- ✓We read the spacer date code on your existing glass before quoting, because a five-year-old sealed unit and a twenty-year-old one are different jobs
- ✓Reveal gaps measured at head, sill and both jambs and written on the job sheet, which is how an out-of-square frame gets caught early
- ✓Minimal-expanding window foam only, in one light pass, with composite shims carrying the load at every anchor and balance point
- ✓Glass specified by elevation rather than by house, because the loss of the tree canopy changed the sun on west and south walls
- ✓We quote the repair before the replacement: balance cartridges, stainless track caps, threshold adjustments and reglazing into sound frames
- ✓We will tell you when impact glass, triple glazing or a whole-house order is not worth your money, and we do that in writing
What Cedar Rapids Customers Say
Two of our upstairs windows would not lock and we assumed the whole set from 2021 was rubbish. They checked the meeting rails, found the frames had been set out of square, reset two of them and replaced one. We were quoted for a full storey by somebody else.
Our sliders were dragging so badly we could barely open them. Instead of a replacement quote they laid stainless caps over the worn sill channels and put new rollers in. Done in an afternoon and they slide better than they did new.
Our house is from 1904 and I was dreading being sold white vinyl. They measured the casing depth, milled jamb extensions to match, and the clad-wood units disappear into the room. They also found rot in one sill and fixed the framing first.
Three fogged windows. They read the date codes on the spacers, told me the frames were fine, ordered matching sealed units and set them in one visit. No trim came off, no drywall, and the bill was a quarter of what I had budgeted.
