Urbandale is a well-established suburb in the Des Moines metro known for its strong schools, safe neighbourhoods, and convenient location along the I-35 and I-80 corridors. The city has grown steadily since the 1960s and offers a comfortable suburban lifestyle.
Urbandale's suburban setting provides little natural windbreak against Iowa's fierce winter storms, and many homes built during the city's 1970s-80s growth period have windows that are well past their expected lifespan.
Urbandale's housing boom during the 1970s-90s produced thousands of homes that are now reaching the age where window replacement becomes necessary. Builder-grade windows from that era lack modern energy features like Low-E coatings and gas fills, leading to higher utility bills and reduced comfort.

We had been putting off replacing our windows for years, but after seeing how drafty our Urbandale home was last winter, we called Panes. Best decision we made. The triple-pane windows are a game-changer and the factory-direct price was very fair. — Mark J., Fox Ridge
