Madrid is a picturesque community along the Des Moines River, best known as the eastern trailhead of the spectacular High Trestle Trail Bridge. The city offers a blend of historic homes near downtown, mid-century residential areas, and a growing number of families attracted by the area's outdoor recreation.
Madrid's Des Moines River valley setting creates cold-air drainage in winter, with overnight lows that can fall below -15F and persistent morning frost that stresses window seals and frames throughout the cold season.
Madrid's older homes along State Street and near the river have windows that have weathered decades of Iowa winters. The resulting drafts and seal failures drive up heating costs, and modern triple-pane replacements restore comfort while capitalizing on the home improvement investments popular in this growing community.

We love living near the High Trestle Trail in Madrid but our old windows made winters miserable. Panes installed new triple-pane windows throughout and our home is now warm, quiet, and so much more energy-efficient. — Scott E., State Street
