About Waukee
Waukee is the newest city on this site, about 14 miles west of downtown in Dallas County along Hickman Road and the Grand Prairie Parkway. The median home was built in 2011 and 80% of homes went up in 2000 or later (Census ACS). Most Waukee homes are still on their original windows, so the common requests are a cracked pane or one failed seal, and basement egress windows for finished lower levels. NOAA lists 49 hail days within 6 miles since 1996, and the largest stone reported within 6 miles was 2.75 inches, on June 28, 2017.

Do you cover all of Waukee?
Yes, including ZIP 50263. 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 Waukee 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 Waukee.
