Window Replacement in Baraboo, WI
Windows wear out slowly, so most homeowners get used to the problems before they realize how much they’ve been putting up with. A bedroom that’s always a few degrees colder. A window that hasn’t opened in years. Fog trapped between the panes that no amount of cleaning will fix.
What We Hear From Homeowners
These are the issues we see most often when homeowners call us about replacement windows:
Drafts and cold spots near the frame, especially on windy days.
Windows that stick, won’t stay open, or don’t lock properly.
Condensation or fog between the panes, which means the seal has failed.
Soft, rotting, or cracked frames from years of moisture and freeze-thaw cycles.
Rooms that are hard to keep comfortable no matter where the thermostat is set.
Windows that date the house and pull down its curb appeal.
New replacement windows address all of these at once. A tight seal and a quality glass package cut down on drafts and help rooms hold a steadier temperature, so your furnace and air conditioner don’t have to work as hard. How much you save on energy depends on your home and your current windows, but most homeowners notice the difference in comfort right away.
New windows also open, close, and lock the way they should, and they give your home a cleaner, updated look from the street. Replacing old windows before the frames deteriorate further also helps keep moisture out of the surrounding walls.
As a local window replacement company, we’ll give you an honest assessment. If only a few windows need replacing, we’ll tell you. If some still have life left in them, we’ll tell you that too.
Replacement Window Options for Your Home
Baraboo has a mix of older homes and newer construction, and the right window depends on the house and the room. Wilco installs energy-efficient vinyl and fiberglass replacement windows, and we’ll walk you through the choices in plain terms during your estimate.
Double-Hung Replacement Windows
A classic choice for bedrooms and living areas. Both sashes move, so you can open the top, bottom, or both for airflow. They suit traditional-style homes and are one of the most common windows we replace.
Sliding Replacement Windows
Sliders open side to side, with no lifting or cranking. They’re a practical fit over kitchen sinks, in wide openings, and anywhere a window needs to be easy to reach.
Picture Windows
Picture windows are fixed, so they let in as much light and view as possible. They work well in living rooms and are often paired with operating windows on either side for ventilation.
Custom-Fit Replacement Windows
Every window we install is measured to your home’s existing openings. That matters in older homes, where openings are often non-standard sizes or no longer perfectly square. A custom replacement window fits properly and seals tightly instead of being forced into place.
Vinyl or Fiberglass
Vinyl windows are low-maintenance and cost-effective. Fiberglass is especially strong and stable through temperature swings. We’ll help you weigh the two based on your home, your budget, and how long you plan to stay.
What to Expect During Window Replacement
We keep the process simple and make sure you know what’s happening at each step.
Free Consultation and Estimate
We come to your home, listen to what’s bothering you about your windows, and talk through your goals.
Evaluating Your Existing Windows
We check each window’s frame, seal, and operation, and look for signs of moisture damage. You’ll know which windows need replacing now and which can wait.
Choosing Your Replacement Windows
We help you select materials, styles, and glass options, then take precise measurements. You’ll get a clear, plain-language quote before anything is ordered.
Preparing for Installation
Once your windows arrive, we schedule your installation and let you know what to expect on the day, including clearing space around each window.
Replacement Window Installation
Our crew removes the old windows, prepares each opening, and installs and seals the new ones. If we find damaged framing once an old window comes out, we’ll show you and explain your options before moving forward.
Cleanup and Final Walkthrough
We clean up and haul away the old windows and debris. Then we walk through the finished work with you to make sure every window opens, closes, and locks properly.
Many window replacement projects are finished in a day or two. Larger homes or jobs with framing repairs can take longer, and we’ll give you a realistic timeline up front.
Roofing Services in Baraboo, WI
Your roof takes the brunt of Wisconsin weather: heavy snow loads, ice buildup along the edges, spring and summer storms, and the constant freeze-thaw cycle in between. Wilco Exteriors provides roof inspections, roof replacement, and new roof installation for Baraboo homeowners, with the same straightforward approach we bring to every project.
Roof Inspections
Many roofing problems start small. A few lifted or missing shingles, worn flashing around a chimney, or a soft spot on the deck can turn into leaks and interior damage if they go unnoticed. A roof inspection gives you a clear picture of your roof’s condition before small issues become expensive ones.
We check the shingles, flashing, vents, and overall condition of the roofing system, then give you honest recommendations. If your roof has storm or hail damage, we’ll document what we find so you have a record of it.
Roof Replacement and Installation
When repairs no longer make sense, a full roof replacement protects your home for years to come. Signs it may be time include curling or cracked shingles, granules collecting in the gutters, repeated leaks, sagging areas, or a roof approaching the end of its expected lifespan.
Our roof replacement process includes:
Removing the existing roofing materials
Inspecting the roof deck and underlying structure
Installing waterproofing and underlayment
Installing your new asphalt shingle roof
Cleaning up your property thoroughly when the job is done
As your roofing contractor, we handle the project from the initial inspection to the final walkthrough, and we’ll help you choose materials and colors that fit your home and your budget.

Siding Replacement
Cracked, warped, faded, or loose siding does more than hurt your home’s appearance. It can let moisture reach the wall behind it, leading to rot and bigger repairs. New siding installation seals up the exterior, improves weather resistance, and can completely change how your home looks. Our siding team will help you choose a style and color that fits your home’s architecture.
Gutter Replacement
Gutters that sag, leak at the seams, or overflow during heavy rain send water where it doesn’t belong: against your siding, into your landscaping, and down toward your foundation. We install seamless gutters, which have fewer joints where leaks can start and hold up better through heavy rain and winter ice.
Soffit/Fascia Replacement
Soffit and fascia finish your roofline, and they do real work. Vented soffit helps your attic breathe, which reduces moisture buildup and ice dam risk. Fascia supports your gutters and seals the roof edge. When either one rots, cracks, or pulls away, it can let in water and pests. Replacing them protects your roofline and gives the exterior a clean, finished look.
Door Replacement
An old entry or patio door can be drafty, hard to lock, and one of the first things visitors notice. Wilco replaces entry doors and patio doors with options that seal better, operate smoothly, and improve both security and curb appeal. Doors are also an easy project to pair with window replacement for a consistent updated look.
