Altoona has expanded fast — most of its housing footprint is 2000s–present subdivisions north and east of the original town core, mixing single-family and townhome construction. The conventional metro-suburban template applies: vinyl siding with stone-veneer fronts, asphalt shingles, attached 2- and 3-car garages, large gabled elevations.
Older Altoona near the original main street has 1940s–60s homes with more brick and more original wood trim. Some properties near Adventureland and Prairie Meadows are commercial-edge — service businesses, hotels, and a few older homes that predate the entertainment-corridor development.


Altoona is split by era on the glass. Most of the city — the 2000s-on subdivisions out toward Crawford Creek, Brookview, and Adventureland Estates — runs to big thermal-pane windows with no storm windows, so there's more open surface area per home and nothing to disassemble; the glass is usually in great shape, and the issue is what lands on it, not age.
Closer to Original Altoona, the 1940s-60s homes near the old main street often still have original storm windows that we pull, clean both sides, and reinstall, and that older glass earns a gentler hand. Either way the work is seasonal: spring pollen films the panes from mid-April through late May, summer sprinkler overspray leaves hard-water spots, fall drops tannin debris on north-facing sashes, and winter freeze-thaw etches the glass. Most homes here do best on a twice-a-year cadence — late April after pollen, late October before snow.

Real reviews from the families and properties we’ve cared for across central Iowa.
“Very dependable folks who do great work — I've got their number filed. Window cleaning, power-spray decks, sidewalks, driveways. These kids do it all at a very reasonable price. Highly recommend.”
“Tatum was great to work with, and gave our windows a much needed cleaning after winter.”
“The crew came and did my windows, the deck, and soft-washed the house — they did a great job. Up-and-coming young company doing good work.”
“Super thorough, prompt, professional — and fantastic work. Our house sparkled when they were finished. I've hired window washers before and was always bummed by streaks the next day. Not so with JBL — everything looked perfect, even after it rained.”
“Various projects with this company, and I can't say enough great things about the work, the customer service, and the personalized expertise of the owners. Their pricing got me to try them — and their work far exceeds what they charge.”
“Jaxson and his team were great! Had outside windows done this spring. Look great even after recent rains. Great customer service, quality product and reasonable price. Highly recommend!”

Yes. Standard service includes both sides of every accessible window, plus frames, sills, and tracks. Tell us if specific rooms are off-limits.

Yes. JBL Exterior Pros is fully insured for both property damage and worker liability. We can email a current certificate of insurance on request before any work begins.
Yes. Older homes with original storm windows need separate handling — we remove them, clean both sides, and reinstall, which adds 30–60 minutes per typical home. Most newer builds have thermal-pane glass with no storm windows, so it doesn't apply there.
Included on standard service. We remove every accessible screen, vacuum and rinse off pollen and dust, and replace. Damaged screens we'll flag during the walk-through but won't replace without your approval.
Yes. Our water-fed pole system reaches up to 60 feet, which covers nearly every residential application in central Iowa. For atrium glass or unusual access, we'll walk the property and confirm approach on the in-person quote.
