About Ankeny

Ankeny is about 11 miles north of downtown along I-35, and it is one of the fastest-built cities in the metro: the median home dates from 2006 and 63% of homes went up in 2000 or later (Census ACS). That means most Ankeny window jobs are not about drafty single-pane glass. They are about first-generation vinyl windows on houses that are now 15 to 25 years old: fogged insulated glass and worn weatherstripping, plus sliders that stick. Only 19% of homes predate 1980, mostly near the old town center around Ankeny Boulevard. NOAA lists 49 hail days within 6 miles since 1996.

Homes and windows in Ankeny

A lot of Ankeny is new: 40% of homes in these ZIP codes were built in 2010 or later. Those houses are usually on their original windows, so the common jobs are a failed seal or a cracked pane. Sticking sliders and basement egress windows come up too. Check the manufacturer's warranty before you pay for a repair.

NOAA's Storm Events Database has 100 hail reports within 6 miles of the center of Ankeny from 1996 to 2025, on 49 different days. 31 of those days had stones of 1 inch or larger. The largest was 3 inches near Johnston on July 14, 2009. Hail that size can crack glass and split vinyl frames and trim.

The ZIP codes 50021, 50023 hold about 31,406 housing units according to the Census ACS 2020-2024.

Questions

Do you cover all of Ankeny?

Yes, including ZIPs 50021, 50023. The installer who calls you back will confirm your address is in their service area.

Is the estimate free?

Many window companies measure and quote at no charge, but practices differ. Ask the pro when you book, and ask for the quote in writing with the product line and U-factor.

Does Ankeny require a permit to replace windows?

Each city runs its own building department. A same-size replacement is often exempt, while a new or bigger opening, such as a basement egress window, usually needs a permit. Ask the installer who pulls it and confirm with the City of Ankeny.
