Colfax is a historic small town in Jasper County once renowned for its mineral springs, which drew visitors from across the Midwest. Today the community offers affordable housing, a quiet residential atmosphere, and convenient access to both Des Moines and Newton along Interstate 80.
Colfax's Jasper County location brings the full spectrum of Iowa weather, from sub-zero blizzards and ice storms in winter to severe thunderstorms and oppressive humidity in summer, testing windows year-round.
Many Colfax homes date to the mineral springs era of the late 1800s and early 1900s, and their original windows have long outlived their useful life. Replacing them with energy-efficient triple-pane units dramatically cuts heating costs and makes these historic homes livable through Iowa's coldest months.

Our 1890s home in Colfax had beautiful old windows that let in every draft imaginable. Panes built custom replacements that look just like the originals but keep the cold completely out. Our propane bill has never been lower. — Deb R., Downtown Colfax
