Marshalltown is the seat of Marshall County, a community with deep roots in manufacturing and agriculture. The city features a historic courthouse square, established residential neighbourhoods with homes from the early 1900s through the mid-century era, and a resilient community spirit.
Marshalltown's position on the central Iowa plains brings severe winter weather with temperatures dropping to -15F and powerful winds that exploit gaps in aging window frames.
Marshalltown's housing stock includes many older homes that sustained damage in the 2018 tornado, and many homeowners have been upgrading their windows as part of ongoing restoration efforts. Even homes undamaged by the storm benefit from replacing aging windows with modern energy-efficient units for Iowa's harsh climate.

After the tornado we decided to upgrade all our windows. Panes provided quality triple-pane windows that are rated for severe weather. Our Marshalltown home is better protected and more energy-efficient than ever before. — Maria S., South Side
